James Talarico: “You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don't take their money, and I never will. I don't work for them. I work for you.” Drop a 💙 for James Talarico

@donkoclock Liar

Texas Southern University students are literally marching to the polls to vote for Democrat James Talarico. Texas may turn blue!

@AZ_Brittney Yes I did.

Who else voted Blue down the ballot too?

Sascha Riley, the decorated veteran who claims trump raped him as a boy, posted this on Threads tonight. It’s as telling as fuck as to how trump is a guilty monster.

CHETTER DISPATCH – EDITION 0333 October 24, 2026 REMEMBER WHEN THE WHITE HOUSE HAD SOME CLASS? Have you seen Barack Obama on the campaign trail? The crowds are fired up. The energy is real. And that familiar Obama spark is back, reminding people of something Washington seems to have misplaced: A president can command a room without acting like he owns it. Ten days before the midterms, Obama is back in the arena, standing up for Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton, calling out Trump's Iran war, and connecting the decisions made in Washington to the bills piling up on kitchen tables. He's not president anymore. Nobody has to drag him out there. He's showing up because he still believes the country is worth fighting for. And friends, I miss that energy and spirit in the Oval Office. Remember a president who could deliver a serious message without turning every appearance into a personal infomercial? Someone who could use a little humor without making the whole country the punchline? Someone who could disagree without treating every critic like an enemy of the state? WE USED TO HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL PRESENCE. NOW WE HAVE A PERMANENT PERFORMANCE. Obama wasn't perfect. No president is. But he negotiated the Iran nuclear agreement through diplomacy, without firing a missile to get it done. Trump withdrew from that agreement, launched a war, and now Obama is asking the question hanging over the whole mess: Seven months later, how's that going? Good question. Especially when Americans have been killed, hundreds wounded, military stockpiles depleted, and families left to absorb the consequences. You can slap a different label on a war, call it a military exercise, or declare victory until the microphones melt. The human cost doesn't disappear because the president changes the vocabulary. Then there's Pete Hegseth, focused on testosterone, jawlines, and the warrior look. Somewhere along the way, the Pentagon apparently got mistaken for a men's grooming channel. Meanwhile, the country could use a little less posing and a lot more serious leadership. Obama's point cuts deeper than the jokes. THE JOB IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE A LEADER. IT'S TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY LIKE ONE. And that's what people are responding to when Obama steps up to that microphone. It's not just nostalgia for a former president. It's the reminder of a time when the office could feel dignified, when words could lift people instead of dividing them into targets, and when a leader could make the country feel bigger than his own ego. Look at the rallies. Trump needs the volume, the spectacle, the all-caps proclamations. His political world keeps running the same old MAGA show, with the same familiar script and the same cast of grievances. Obama walks out and talks about the country, its people, and what comes next. One sells himself. The other makes people remember they're part of something larger. That's the difference between a spotlight and a beacon. One says, "Look at me." The other helps people see where they might go. And here's the delicious irony: Obama doesn't need the Oval Office to remind America what a president can sound like. He can still move a crowd, make a point, land a joke, and turn people's attention back to the stakes. THE TITLE EXPIRED. THE LEADERSHIP DIDN'T. Now, about the third-term chatter. The 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice. Obama has served two terms. Trump has been elected twice. The presidency is a public trust, not a lifetime subscription one man gets to renew whenever he feels like it. But if anyone starts dreaming up loopholes for Trump, imagine the conversation if that same logic were somehow applied to Obama. Just imagine the reaction to the possibility of those two sharing the same political battlefield again. The irony practically writes its own punchline. Still, we shouldn't need a constitutional circus to get the point. We don't need Obama to return to the White House to bring back what so many people miss. We need that spirit of service, that respect for the office, that belief that strength can be steady and that leadership can inspire without demanding worship. I miss those days. I miss the feeling that the president understood the difference between being powerful and being important. But nostalgia alone won't change a thing. The best tribute to the leadership we miss is to demand better from the leadership we choose next. That's why these midterms matter. Not because Obama can do the work for us, but because he's reminding people that the work belongs to us. The voters. The citizens. The people who live with the consequences long after the rallies pack up and the politicians fly home. So, let the crowds gather. Let the conversations spread. Let that spark become action. AMERICA DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER MAN WHO WANTS TO BE WORSHIPPED. IT NEEDS LEADERS WHO REMEMBER THEY ARE HERE TO SERVE. Until next time, Chetter @ChetterHub One voice. One dispatch. One message: WE'VE SEEN WHAT LEADERSHIP CAN BE. WE'VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S REDUCED TO EGO AND SPECTACLE. NOW WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND WE WILL NOT PRETEND WE DON'T.

🚨 SMALL CROWD ALERT: Only 507 people are visable at the Trump Rally in Georgia. 🤣🤣🤣

⚠️ WARNING: Texas voters are reporting touchscreen machines changing their selections from Hinojosa to Abbott and from Talarico to Paxton. DON’T CAST YOUR VOTE UNTIL YOU’VE CONFIRMED IT’S CORRECT. PASS IT ON.

Raise your hand ✋ if you SUPPORT Jon Ossoff

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that trump telling reporters "I don't care" when they told him about Amy Acton's stepfather allegedly raping his 12-year old daughter, confirms what we know about trump. He IS the Epstein class.

These Democracy defenders are looking to meet you! Say Hi 👋, Vet, F&R. Ty! 💙 @BillGraham17340 @MarianneDi8t @icie_jennifer @Cinge122 @sytsema_andy @JaySwansonPool @FerMunozM 🚫Add-Ons

Absolutely, the best free political advertisement ever to vote Blue! Thanks, Trump, you're a fucking genius! 😂

Last year, Trump invited Conor McGregor to the White House… after the MMA wrestler raped a woman so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. A forensic examiner testified this in court, and McGregor was found GUILTY of rape by a 12-person jury. Oh, AND a paramedic who examined her testified that she "had not seen a patient as bruised as her in a long time." SOMEHOW, THIS QUALIFIED HIM FOR A TRUMP WHITE HOUSE VISIT. Birds of a feather 🪶

@Damaan4u33 I do. And even more, I'd like to see Congress allocate money for a new memorial in DC to honor our first black president that's similar in stature to the Lincoln Memorial.

@Damaan4u33 @LePapillonBlu2 Yes

What ever happened to this guy? Did he get his money for this stunt?

@EdKrassen He probably fell. He needs the leg braces to walk, so I have no doubt he fell without them.
