When Democratic nominee James Talarico stopped holding campaign events in the Texas Senate race, his Republican opponent Ken Paxton saw an opening to pounce.

“Where is James Talarico?” he called out Wednesday during a rally with Donald Trump in San Antonio.

But that night, while flying back to Washington on Air Force One, Trump seemed to inadvertently throw Talarico a lifeline. The president said on social media that Talarico — who has the flu, according to his campaign — “should immediately report to a Debate Stage” to face off with Paxton.

It was exactly what Talarico wanted to hear, since he had long been badgering Paxton for a debate.

Also, why can't ding-a-ling donnie even pronounce "vegan" properly, for fucks sake?

He sounds like a goddamned alien in a skin suit when he talks about Talarico.

It's 2026, and assholes like donnie are still trying to paint being plant-based as totally gay and fem or whatever. I swear that assholes like donnie are going to lose their fucking minds if vat grown scales up, because lots of people are going to eat something that doesn't involve suffering. If being a vegetarian for 20+ years is any indication, they won't be able to ever shut the fuck up about it if they are even sitting near someone eating vat-grown...

Of course, some states have preemptively banned it and it's pretty easy to guess which ones. 🙄

    No, but donnie dumbass thinks he is, or thinks he can convince his listeners he is, and of course being vegan (or "vagan" as donnie says) is just axiomatically feminine.

    As if women don't eat meat? I mean the whole narrative around meat-eating and masculinity is just so fucking stupid. Even the most hyper-feminine of women and the most weakest of males can....order something with meat in it? Hell, I've noticed people in the hospital being given trays of food that had some element of meat in it - somehow these people at some of their weakest moments managed to....eat meat.

    I just have no idea where this stupid idea even came from that if some male abstains from eating meat that they are feminine? The male dumbasses (and the females that prop this stuff up and, oh, they exist) who talk like this all act like they really did something bigly masculine to...purchase meat? And then chew it up? I always ask them if they know women who eat meat, and of course the answer is yes. I ask them if those women are in danger of growing a dong.

    I chalk it up to advertising.
