James Talarico is another liberal politician and pastor who reinterprets Scripture in light of modern science, philosophy, and social values because he thinks the Bible is not infallible. He emphasizes social justice, inclusion, and systemic reform as integral to living out the Gospel. He prioritizes racial justice, LGBTQ+ inclusion, immigration rights, poverty alleviation, and environmental stewardship because he sees social activism as a direct expression of the Gospel.


Stop making him sound so badass.

Because that's a horrendous way to describe what he does. He uses the Bible as an Ouija board to legitimize his own pre-concluded beliefs. Don't try to *******ize a religion with multiple millennia of tradition to give yourself legitimacy, argue the merits of your positions based upon logic. If you think abortion is a legitimate act, support it with logic, don't say the Bible says something it absolutely does not say. At that point you're just a lying ****bag.

He sucks. He is a modern morality moron that uses the shallow understanding of the Bible he has to provide himself legitimacy with people that claim to be Christian without the necessary investigations into the legitimacy of his claims.

Any critical thinking person would ask "why the **** are you using the Bible to legitimize your perspective if you aren't actually referencing it as it actually exists?"

Talarico is just the 3rd iteration of liberals trying to manufacture someone they think can "get Texans" and finally win in a deep red state.

They thought maybe they could take advantage of Hispanic demographics and ran a fake Mexican in Beto.

They thought maybe they could appeal to every day guys and ran a fake moderate Allred

Now they think maybe they can totally appeal to the state's religious base by running a fake Christian closeted gay man that also happens to hate blacks.

It's wild. Liberals just have no feel for Texas or Texans in general. And I love seeing the hopium crash year after year and millions wasted.

Haven't read whole thread and wont but will just say this whole episode probably won Talarico the primary

I mean, not being Jasmine Crockett won him the primary. Did you think she even had a snowballs chance in hell?

She's supposedly very well educated, but for some reason chooses to pretend to be a stereotypical AAVE-talking idiot.

There you go again. Moving goalposts. You said detained. Now it's jailed.


Do you really not understand what detained means? I don't think this conversation can go much simpler.


I do. You don't.

Detained can be as simple as law enforcement simply holding you on the sidewalk and not letting you go until you present ID, which is what some of these 4000 are. That's detained. Jailed is incarcerated after arrest.


You think a judge is issuing rulings about someone being stopped temporarily on the street?

"With few other legal paths to freedom, immigrant detainees have filed more than 20,200 federal lawsuits demanding their release since Trump took office, a Reuters review of court dockets found, underscoring the sweeping impact of Trump's policy change.
In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign, Reuters found."


Certainly the judges have zero bias and rule strictly on the law in this country and never EVER use their personal bias in their decisions.

400 different federal judges. Not one rogue judge. Sorry, that isn't going to fly.

And LGBTQ+ inclusion already happened. What he's talking about is solely trans people who are mentally insane and need serious help. It's sad that there is no place to put them and get them help they desperately need. Instead, we will just continue to watch them murder people as they have become the #1 mass shooter profile besides black culture, of course. Even the international LGB group dropped the T from their coalition because trans people are seriously deranged. It's mind blowing people try to normalize it. Never mind Talarico lying about the Bible on this topic.

Poverty alleviation: everyone wants that and the best way to mitigate it for the most people is capitalism. Marxism puts everyone in poverty as has been shown throughout history time and time again yet the Democrats are becoming ever more Marxist by the year. Throwing more welfare at the problem incentivizes more poverty.

Environmental stewardship: I think the vast majority of us are big fans of this as well. The problem is that the entire movement was hijacked by Marxists. There is a reason the term "watermelon" exists. We can't have practical conversations about the environment anymore. Climate change, from a solution standpoint, has nothing at all to do with the environment anymore. It's simply a global wealth redistribution scheme. We have serious damn issues with water and that barely gets discussed. The entire topic centers around how much money the West can hand out to the Global South. Besides, US emissions peaked in this country 20 years ago and have steadily fallen (frankly to our detriment) as California FAFO'ed on this issue. Dumbasses.

She's basically Papa Doc from Eight Mile. She pretends to be something she's not, hoping to appeal to a specific voter demographic. They should feel insulted by that, but I'm guessing it works, since politicians keep doing it.

With the lawfare at the district level this doesn't mean a lot. The only judges of relevance are at the circuit and scotus level. Some of those 400 have been overuled several times, once notably remanded to 3 times alone on one case.

Talarico is awful. A complete snake. People are too easily fooled by his "aw shucks-y" howdy doody face and demeanor. He has a bright future, unfortunately.

lol based on what? Was he caught on a hot mic bragging about assaulting a woman? Was he found civilly liable for misappropriating charity funds? Or you just don't like his opinions so you think that makes him a snake?

He is constantly lying and using twisted Christian doctrine to support things like erasing our borders...and paint anyone who believes in borders and an actual legal immigration process as bigoted and "unchristian". If you start to pick up on his lies, you can see that his pious act is just an act. He's brilliant and cunning though, and has a very bright future...I genuinely think he may be the face of the democrat party within the next 10 years.


What are these "constant" lies?

right in his website. First issue is about corrupt politicians and their billionaire mega donors buying power - completely ignoring his own backing by the George Soros billionaire PAC. Maybe not a lie, but a clear misrepresentation of this specific issue.


This itself is a bit of a misrepresentation. PACs operate independently of candidates. He's pledged not to take any money from corporate PACs for his Senate run. And as of the latest, 98% of his campaign funds are from donations less than $100. Seems pretty in-line with his statements/stance to me.

How much is from "act blue" which is nothing but a democrat money laundering scheme?


I don't know. Your characterization of it as money laundering scheme is interesting, though. How do you feel about the GOP equivalent, WinRed?


Do you ever have anything but "look what your side does"?


In 2024, winred distributed $1.8 billion dollars to Republican candidates.

I'm genuinely curious why he considers actblue to be a "Democrat money laundering scheme" given there's an exact counterpart on the other side. If he were to denounce that as well, then he'd be consistent. Perhaps there's a reason why act blue is nefarious and winred isn't that he can share.

I don't think actblue is bad. I don't think winred is bad.

What do you think?

And this is why people's here ignore you and think you're a clueless dem sycophant.

Act blue is "taking donations" in the names of people who don't know they donated. They're just bundling large donations and spreading the across multiple fake donors to stay under campaign finance law limits. That's illegal and lmoney laundering.

He's brilliant and cunning though, and has a very bright future...I genuinely think he may be the face of the democrat party within the next 10 years.


What are these "constant" lies?

right in his website. First issue is about corrupt politicians and their billionaire mega donors buying power - completely ignoring his own backing by the George Soros billionaire PAC. Maybe not a lie, but a clear misrepresentation of this specific issue.


This itself is a bit of a misrepresentation. PACs operate independently of candidates. He's pledged not to take any money from corporate PACs for his Senate run. And as of the latest, 98% of his campaign funds are from donations less than $100. Seems pretty in-line with his statements/stance to me.

How much is from "act blue" which is nothing but a democrat money laundering scheme?


I don't know. Your characterization of it as money laundering scheme is interesting, though. How do you feel about the GOP equivalent, WinRed?


Do you ever have anything but "look what your side does"?


In 2024, winred distributed $1.8 billion dollars to Republican candidates.

I'm genuinely curious why he considers actblue to be a "Democrat money laundering scheme" given there's an exact counterpart on the other side. If he were to denounce that as well, then he'd be consistent. Perhaps there's a reason why act blue is nefarious and winred isn't that he can share.

I don't think actblue is bad. I don't think winred is bad.

What do you think?

And this is why people's here ignore you and think you're a clueless dem sycophant.

Act blue is "taking donations" in the names of people who don't know they donated. They're just bundling large donations and spreading the across multiple fake donors to stay under campaign finance law limits. That's illegal and lmoney laundering.

But it's totally ok to assume over 400 federal judges have gone rogue in immigration cases because they disagree with the legality of the actions of an out of control federal agency.

I googled his name.

Again, i see a story from an "independent journalist" that makes some serious insinuations, but it's over 2 years old. Why is there no substantive results from these smoking guns?

Often these investigations find things that are just two different people with the same name and the "journalists" don't realize it.

Dude there are seemingly an infinite number of federal judges that rule against Trump just to do it. The judiciary is about as compromised as it gets. Just look at the supreme Court that often rules along party lines.

How much is from "act blue" which is nothing but a democrat money laundering scheme?


I don't know. Your characterization of it as money laundering scheme is interesting, though. How do you feel about the GOP equivalent, WinRed?


Do you ever have anything but "look what your side does"?


In 2024, winred distributed $1.8 billion dollars to Republican candidates.

I'm genuinely curious why he considers actblue to be a "Democrat money laundering scheme" given there's an exact counterpart on the other side. If he were to denounce that as well, then he'd be consistent. Perhaps there's a reason why act blue is nefarious and winred isn't that he can share.

I don't think actblue is bad. I don't think winred is bad.

What do you think?

And this is why people's here ignore you and think you're a clueless dem sycophant.

Act blue is "taking donations" in the names of people who don't know they donated. They're just bundling large donations and spreading the across multiple fake donors to stay under campaign finance law limits. That's illegal and lmoney laundering.

It was all over the news several months ago and all over F16. Again, you're clueless.

I suppose with such a smoking gun there have been criminal charges filed at some level by now, right?

Ah the classic, I don't agree with the message so I'm going to attack the messenger tactic.


But it's totally ok to assume over 400 federal judges have gone rogue in immigration cases because they disagree with the legality of the actions of an out of control federal agency.


Seeing how many of them Trump wins on appeal, yes it's okay to assume that.


How many does Trump win on appeal?

Talarico is awful. A complete snake. People are too easily fooled by his "aw shucks-y" howdy doody face and demeanor. He has a bright future, unfortunately.

lol based on what? Was he caught on a hot mic bragging about assaulting a woman? Was he found civilly liable for misappropriating charity funds? Or you just don't like his opinions so you think that makes him a snake?

He is constantly lying and using twisted Christian doctrine to support things like erasing our borders...and paint anyone who believes in borders and an actual legal immigration process as bigoted and "unchristian". If you start to pick up on his lies, you can see that his pious act is just an act. He's brilliant and cunning though, and has a very bright future...I genuinely think he may be the face of the democrat party within the next 10 years.


What are these "constant" lies?

right in his website. First issue is about corrupt politicians and their billionaire mega donors buying power - completely ignoring his own backing by the George Soros billionaire PAC. Maybe not a lie, but a clear misrepresentation of this specific issue.

I don't think most people realize that law schools vomit out a vastly disproporionate amount of die hard leftists and even social justice warrior types. Even the more 'normal' attorneys I know skew pretty solidly left.

Similar phenomenon with journalism obviously.

And I will say this, the world was a better place when your side was just arresting conservative journalists instead of assassinating them on college campuses.
