He is the white savior type that has a warped idea of Christianity and race. Crockett beating his ass would be most amusing. I prefer entertaining minority Dem candidates instead of their awful smarmy white passive aggressive white males left in their party. Tossof, Swallowell, Greasy Gavin, and Talarico are all examples of the New Left Man. Deballed, petty and malicious, traitorous and deceitful, and cowardly in the face of danger.

Walz is the perfect example of them. To quote John Randolph, "Never were abilities so much below mediocrity so well rewarded; no, not even when Caligula's horse was made Consul."

16 "highly-populated, ultra-left-wing northern DC-suburb Virginia"

Adjacent to super-ultra-left-wing DC, an irredeemable hive of scum villainy. (Which is why I wish DJT would stop redecorating it with arches and shit. An admittedly very minor quibble I have.)

17 I'm not a yuge fan of Rand Paul, but at least he does seem to have some principles. That's better than Mitchie Mitch.

18 "Does he have any military experience?"

That really doesn't tell us much anymore about where a candidate stands politically.

And, yes, I clicked on the link. It's about a bear.

19 Why is it shaped so strangely? Because they took a chunk of highly-populated, ultra-left-wing northern DC-suburb Virginia and are using all of those AWFULs to overwhelm the conservative voters in more central, rural parts of the state.

This is an excellent excuse to fire another quarter million federal employees and depopulate that area.

20 Cornyn, however, lags well behind both challengers ...
a dangerous position in a primary environment that has grown increasingly hostile to long-tenured Senate leadership.

Fun Facts:

• Cornyn has been in Congress since 2003
• The National Debt has grown by $35T since 2003

We can't afford him.

21 I'm surprised VA couldn't flag pole gerrymander to make it 11-0

22 Here's the "danger" I see in KY: every Kentuckian I've ever met, and there have been many, I was born there and still have family there, has been a purely mercenary pork-barrel voter.

Without the Senate's most powerful Democrat being a member of the KY GOP, they won't be able to deliver on that pork anymore. If Dems have half a brain, they'll tell the voters exactly that and say "if you elect Democrats we will deliver you a reduced pork pile, but still more than they can or will."

But it's still not exactly a "danger" because any junior Democrat who gets his seat will be far, far less powerful and destructive than McConnell.

24 McConnell's power as leader was (comfortably) supported by the GOP caucus throughout his misrule. Like Mitch, most of them comfortably re-elected over and over by GOP voters. 2010 and Trump are phenomena that were/are always available to voters, who almost always choose another path.

Some states do not permit that. You vote in one party primary then you canot vote in the other during a runoff. Texas is one of them.

From Ballotpedia,
"Congressional and state-level elections
In Texas, any registered voter can vote in the primary of their choice. They may not vote in more than one party's primary during a single voting year. Texas law requires voters to sign the following pledge before voting in a primary: "I am a (insert appropriate political party) and understand that I am ineligible to vote or participate in another political party's primary election or convention during this voting year."[1] In the case that no candidate receives a majority vote, the top two candidates proceed to a runoff election.[2]"

26 Eh, if voting is real and not a figment of a bygone era, then this is what Virginia voted for.

The main problem is that I expect the Donks to convert more of their gerrymandered seats than the GOP.

27 "virginia to the rescue", eh?

They are taking a big risk for 2026 as a 53-47 state with the Democrats already making themselves obnoxious on the state level after the election with taxes, and firearm laws, that trying to crack, pack, and stack that many districts means a lot of them are going to be diluted to the extent a wave election sweeps out a lot of those House members.

Democrat (2 way for Senate) and Republican (3 way for Senate) primaries will be on the same day. Since it's a 2 way the Democrats will not have a runoff.

If one of the 3 Republicans doesn't win a majority, then it goes to a 2 way runoff on another day, and Democrats will have nothing to do that day but cross over and vote Republican.

43 My friend had a Maserati Talarico for a while. It spent more time in the shop than on the road.

44 These gerrymandered maps, with the ex-burbs reaching into the urban areas to grab some leftwing voters remind me of Chinese around a buffet dish full of chicken wings.

45 If VA is 53-47 aren't they in danger of turning a bunch of those seats R if the Republicans do better in '26 then they did in '24?

46 'Didn't every Army unit have a bear in the 1940s?'

"Inglourius Basterds" (2009).

47 I don’t believe these new maps in heavily blue states.

If they could have gerrymandered that many blue seats, they would have done it already. The idea that these fuckface scumbags suddenly realized after TX redistricted that “hey, we can add some more of our own seats,” seems … wrong.

Democrats have been playing hardball to win on districting for decades. Sadly, the GOP has been playing to get their perfumed asses fucked deep.

48 How bad is the Luciferian McConnell? The Federalist reports he's scheming to block the SAVE Act from a vote to get vengeance on Trump.

McConnell got greedy and by 2020, his time as GOP senate leader was fading. He did too many shitty things during the Trump years and his craven behavior cost a lot of his Bush era cronies their seats. The main thing keeping him as majority leader and being punished for his interference in GOP state primaries for his cronies came from campaign funding from the Senate Campaign Fund. That led few to want to challenge him and his flunkies for the job.

Rick Scott's leadership challenge, though abortive, started the end of McConnell and his glitches sealed it. He is a flaccid bitter old fart that will probably die soon after he leaves office as I suspect, like Grassley, the office is the only thing keeping them alive at this point. Like Thurmond at the end, they run because they cannot conceive of quitting and their hideous staffs egg them on for employment stability.

59 If only Mitch had been out driving with his sister-in-law the night she drove her Tesla into the pond.

60 McConnell has 1000 +1 reasons not to want any kind of quality controls for voting.

61 Haven't heard a summary of where we stand on the redistricting wars in a while. Seems like, with CA and VA plus a few other blue states, the Dems will actually gain more seats than Reps unless FL comes through (and I'm sensing they won't). And it seems that Dems are gerrymandering everything up the wazoo, while the Grand Old Pussies are settling for half measures.

62 Democrats have been playing hardball to win on districting for decades. Sadly, the GOP has been playing to get their perfumed asses fucked deep.

New England is 21-0 Donk even though it is around a 60-40 region.

63 McConnell has always had a lot of horse racing/breeding money behind him. If you don't think that's a big deal in Kentucky, you've never been to Louisville.

72 Willowed: Ohio candidate

A former write-in GOP gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ohio Republican party allegedly attempted to raise a "posse" to kidnap Gov. Mike DeWine (R), try him over his decision to implement pandemic-related health restrictions, and sentence him to either exile or death, the Ohio Capital Journal reported. Renea Turner's alleged plan was discovered after one of the people she reportedly contacted to join the posse notified law enforcement.

74 Collins (ME) is running for a sixth term.
___

I just heard a debate snippet from the 90s, when Collins was first running for the Senate, and, in response to a question about term limits, she committed to only serving two terms.

75 It could be worse, and I am hoping things get worse with the gerrymandering.

Theoretically, a fully gerrymandered state would have all districts for the majority party, no matter how small the margin is. (A requirement for districts to be contiguous might pose a problem in some states though.)

That is the endpoint that gerrymandering ultimately leads to. This is of course contrary to our Republic system of government and organization, but it is only obvious with extreme gerrymandering.

The solution is districts based on fixed, existing, geographic entities, like counties. This violates "equal representation" according to Reynolds v. Simms, which was a very bad SCOTUS ruling. The way to walk back from that is to push it to the extreme, admit that the founders never intended a pure democracy, so the solution must be fixed districts of unequal population -- just like the states and how they vote on the federal level.

76 At some point the Dems will just send loudmouths to Washington without election for "fairness" or something. I'm starting to enjoy it.

Or the weasel figured that Hillary would win, and either Garland or someone worse would be nominated. He gets to play hero for votes, then shrug when Hillary wins. Well...I tried...vote for me.

Malignant narcissists don't truly care if they are generating negative or positive feedback as long as the effects of their power are easily noticed. They want to see the force of their authority reflected back strongly for them to admire and enjoy.

144 From Ballotpedia,
"Congressional and state-level elections
In Texas, any registered voter can vote in the primary of their choice. They may not vote in more than one party's primary during a single voting year. Texas law requires voters to sign the following pledge before voting in a primary: "I am a (insert appropriate political party) and understand that I am ineligible to vote or participate in another political party's primary election or convention during this voting year."[1] In the case that no candidate receives a majority vote, the top two candidates proceed to a runoff election.[2]"

Got a phone call that year wanting us to donate to Cornyn and the Senate Republican coffers.

Told them we would vote for the republican candidate in Texas in the general, but after their traitorous behavior with the Republican Senate candidate in Alaska, there was no way in Hell that they were going to receive one red cent from our house.

194 Some states do not permit that. You vote in one party primary then you canot vote in the other during a runoff. Texas is one of them.

I’m pretty sure that there is one caveat to this: voters can vote in a runoff of their choice if they didn’t bother to vote in the primary—and didn’t sign any petitions for put a candidate on a particular primary ballot.

Although it's pretty funny that Veritas forced O'Keefe out and then expected him to go quietly without running ops against them.

202 So, based on all that I've been reading, it sounds like the SAVE Act, the thing the majority of the country wants, will not pass. I'm so comforted knowing these worthless pieces of garbage in Congress are representing the people who put them there.

203 as Salvor Hardin (mayor of Terminus) said
(or was it Hober Mallow?)
i disremember ...

"It's a poor atom-blaster that won't point both ways."

204 If it has legs, then it might make "RINO" a real thing.

I've long hated the term, because for at least the past decade or two, it's been made abundantly clear that it's inaccurate. What the base derisively calls "RINO" are in fact the essence of the Republican Party Man. Far from "in name only," the so-called RINOs are the Party ideal. They are not RINOs, but rather RIGS - Republicans In Good Standing." It's *you* - the rube in the base who doesn't dig the Party's ambitions, goals and desires - who are the RINO.

If enough old-guard RIGS fall to conservatives, then the party itself might show enough change that "RINO" *could* apply to the McConnells of the world.

205 Nood. Epstein stuff.

That was the clear signal - "I need this right now, but you have a clear path through my cucks in a few months."

He never gave a crap about a """conservative""" SC.

Posted by: Lady in Black at February 10, 2026 06:31 PM


It can't be allowed to pass, it's as simple as that. Even if 95% of the country wanted it can't be passed because at this point in time only a few states control who wins the presidency. If the cheat is removed or severely reduced then democrats will never win another election for president.

213 Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Tuesday said he supported the SAVE America Act, but that there is not enough support in the Senate to change the filibuster and clear a path for the controversial bill.

Really? Name names.

I can guess a few right off the bat.

214 163 It was great when he stopped Garland, and frankly made almost all of this garbage we're going through now worthwhile. If Garland had gotten on the Supreme court, we would all be toast.
Posted by: imp at February 10, 2026 06:17 PM (g6TN6)

To be honest, I don't think Mitch did it for the Republicans. He did it because he was PO'd at Shurmer for gutting the filibuster rule to force through DC Fed. court nominations, which took away some of his clout.

Mitch was showing him who was boss now.

215 May my State Rep, Ken King of Canadian (TX), be swept out in the primary.

216 Yeah sure im positive that cuck Thune toooootally supports it but you know, woe is he. Heavy is the head the head that wears the gimp mask.

217 Elaine Chao also served as the 24th U.S. Secretary of Labor under President George W. Bush, 2001 to 2009.

But as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation under Trump, she resigned on January 7, 2021, following the Capitol 'riot,' citing it as a "traumatic and entirely avoidable event."

Irish Illegal Alien Who Dodged Deportation for 20 Years Will Finally Be Kicked Out of Country;
Supposedly "anti-Racist" Libertarian Nick Gillespie Says We Shouldn't Deport Him, Because He's White Like Us

Of course.

Nick Gillespie will claim that he made his racist plea of special privilege only because he assumes that we're the Real Racists Here and will keep this White Criminal in the country because he's white, but I don't know man, this attempt at Judo Reverse Racism just sounds like plain old racism to me.

Libertarians are just nasty 1960s "Hey man" hippies with a strong streak of racism.

Here are the facts, via Twitchy's JustMindy:

The Irish Times
@IrishTimes

Seamus Culleton was arrested on September 9th, 2025, and has been in an Ice detention facility in Texas for nearly five months, despite having no criminal record, "not even a parking ticket"

His criminal record is 20 years long. 20 years of illegal visa overstaying plus the crimes we know he must have committed, including identity theft and illegally working under a fraudulent Social Security number.

He was ordered to leave and said "F*** you."

He overstayed a visa, was told to leave, refused to leave even when offered a trip back to his home country and so he was detained, but this apparently is communism or something.

Susan Glasser, an egregious communist propagandist at the New Yorker and wife of nasty liberal Peter Baker of the New York Times, goes immediately into AWFUL Meltdown Mode:

Susan Glasser
@sbg1

Kafka meets ICE

Gerard Baker
@gerardtbaker

Oh please. He was admitted on a 90 day visitor's visa 20 years ago and never left. He was offered instant deportation to Ireland last year and declined so he’s awaiting his case in a detention center. His choice. Kafka? You undermine your own argument with such hyperbole.

The only argument in favor of keeping this guy around is that he 1, applied for a Green Card and is here provisionally while his case is considered and 2, he got married to a US citizen.

But here's the thing: He only took those two steps when he was about to be deported.

The left, and Nick Gillespie, are claiming "he has a valid work permit."

But that was only issued on the basis of his sudden application for a green card.

Which he only applied for in 2025, when Trump was about to deport him.

What did he do for the 20 years prior as far as work or money?

Did he work illegally using someone else's social security number? Did he just sit on welfare for 20 years?

Did he, perhaps, engage in an actual criminal trade?

But we have to pretend his entire record began exactly when he took two desperate, last minute steps to confabulate a fraudulent set of facts to avoid deportation.

Remember yesterday, I mentioned the Fifth Circuit approving Trump's new policy of detailing deportable aliens until they exhaust their last legal challenge? But offering to let them out of detention if they agree to finally get on a plane and GTFO?

Well, this poor poor man has the same standing offer.

Supposedly, his ICE detention is an "absolute hell" -- but one he voluntarily agrees to remain in, instead of JUST GOING BACK TO HIS HOME COUNTRY.

Boy Ireland must be like, Hell Squared or something. It's Gaza of the North Atlantic.

HoodlumDoodlum
@HoodlumDoodlum

Also he has been in detention that long ONLY because he wants to fight his deportation. We would have been happy to deport him back months ago.

His "valid work permit" was temporary and issued as part of his green card application in April 2025 (after he'd been here illegally for 19 years).
A final removal order obviously supersedes a temporary work permit! He has no legal standing to stay; he will be deported. pic.twitter.com/d4xINmZakj

— HoodlumDoodlum (@HoodlumDoodlum) February 10, 2026

So now comes libertarian racist Nick Gillespie-- Goth Fonzie wears a black leather jacket to show he's not like those other pundits! -- to argue that "heritage Americans" should agree to let this 20-year deportation-dodger stay... because he's white.

This is appalling and I hope cuts through to the 'heritage American' types who otherwise could care less about due process for immigrants:
'Culleton said he was carrying a Massachusetts driving licence and a valid work permit issued by the US government when he was pulled over…

— Nick Gillespie (@nickgillespie) February 9, 2026

Oh, his work permit was a temporary one, issued only after he finally engaged with the immigration system and applied for a green card in 2025 -- when he knew he was about to be deported.

He also, coincidentally, got "married to a US citizen" that year, when he was about to be deported.

According to CNN's Abby Philip, this was in no way a sham marriage quickly arranged to give him cover from Trump's deportation.

No, Abby Phillip tells us, it's a time-honored lawful tradition for an illegal alien to "rectify his immigration status" through a quickie and almost certainly fraudulent marriage:

Phillip: Like this irishman who has been in the country for 20 years with a valid work permit, who was months away from a green card interview

Rantz: This guy from Ireland who overstayed a 90 day Visa since 2009

Phillip: That's an administrative infraction. And under U.S. Law… pic.twitter.com/W5RgIlCHR7

— Acyn (@Acyn) February 10, 2026

"Rectify" is the new "clarify." Be the first Cook Kid on your block to use it.

Michael MacNeil
@Mike_OMac

1h

He intentionally overstayed his tourist Visa?

He didn't apply for a Green Card for 17 years?

He didn't marry until he applied for a Green Card?

I have little sympathy.

Oh yes, this is all totally legitimate. As a "Heritage American," I want to keep this white criminal in the country forever because his skin matches my Heritage.

I saw someone sum up the reaction on Twitter in about this way:

Nick Gillespie: Checkmate, racists! Now that a white man of your Heritage is about to be deported, you see the evil of your racist ways!

Twitter MAGA types: No, no race-based inconsistency, we want his "potato-gobbling" ass deported back to Ireland too.

Nick Gillespie: Wait you racists don't even have mercy for Your Own Kind? You're not just racists, you're the worst kind of racists -- race-traitor racists!!!

— Pay Roll Manager Here (@UsingLyft) February 10, 2026

Oh, by the way, Goth Fonzie wants you know he's not racist, he totally loved the Bad Bunny Super-Bowl show with all of the twerking anal-sex-simulation for children, and what he really objects to are the F-35s overflying the stadium in a show of "paid patriotism."

But in this, Goth Fonzie was just part of a larger movement of Old White Guys virtue-signalling -- and even more embarrassingly, Youth-Signalling -- that they are Totally Down with This Energetic Minority They Just Heard of Ten Seconds Ago.
