Talarico isn't an extreme far left person

I'm just happy the Democrats didn't nominate someone with a nazi tattoo. Progress!

Dude needs to realize that what makes him a threat is his ability to capture the center. Stupid shit like this alienates the “hold my nose and vote for MAGA” crowd.

He actually said this four years ago talking about his state legislature campaign in a slam dunk dem district. He's not saying the fringe stuff anymore. We'll see if he can overcome some of the weird comments from 4-6 years ago.

Paxton vs Talarico race in Texas will be interesting to watch. Talarico cracks me up. Wears a mask everywhere and does stuff like this:

Yeah, the 'you voted for this' is fine in an abstract argument about government policies. But when innocent children die? GTFO.

Yeah, anyone politicizing this right now is a ghoul.

The cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service have impacted me and many people I know. But that had nothing to do with this tragedy. The forecast system was still in place and the forecasts were reasonably accurate. The problem was how rapidly it happened, the time of day, and the remoteness of many of the campsites, etc. Getting the word out to everyone on the ground is a local problem and sometimes you just get a horrible combination of circumstances.

Absolutely horrific. My heart goes out to all affected from this tragedy.

Also ugly some the jeering responses from people.

Gutted. Selfishly, I was relieved not to know anyone impacted by the hill country flooding. Just saw an article about two lawyers who lost their twins at Camp Mystic. I took
dozens of depositions with the dad in 2023-2024, and I worked at the same firm as the mom my first three years of practice.

It’s a real tragedy. Three people at my work have been impacted through distant relatives. One guy that works for me has a brother in law whose niece’s body hasn’t been found yet.

This whole thing is a nightmare. How terrible.

Don't ignore it. It's one of those issues that's also had foreign financial and intelligence backing too.

Paxton is as corrupt as they come

Yeah, I don't really trust Paxton and voted against him the last time he was on the ballot.
