    Very excited that Jasmine Crockett is running! Finally reparations for slaves can be passed into law!
    (actually only black slaves in America from 1619-1865 - no other slaves globally in any other historical time period qualify)


    GOOD DAY

    Why would we do it for slaves outside of the US?

    Exactly -- we will focus on ONLY American slaves, ONLY black slaves, and ONLY black American slaves from the time period of 1619 through 1865. And this will restore equity in America and put all races on a trajectory to succeed equally.


    Additionally, Representative Crockett beautifully articulates another proposal that I think we need to seriously consider - a proposal I call "no tax on blacks."

    Jasmine Crockett, a freshman representative from Texas, said she heard a celebrity — though she could not remember which one — propose making black people tax-exempt, and thought, “I don’t know that that’s … necessarily a bad idea,” she recounted in an interview with “The Black Lawyers Podcast” last week.

    “One of the things they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because … that puts money back in your pocket,” Crockett told host J. Carter.



    GOOD DAY

    allred had his shot and lost to ted cruz. he shouldnt run again. but jasmine crockett can not win a general election in texas. talarico might not either, but he has a much much better chance than she does.

    I'd rather see the devil I know in Cornyn than have to deal with showboating morally flexible Ken Paxton who bought his way out of a felony and good-ol-boy'ed his way out of being impeached. Ken Paxton is a slime ball who would be doing hard time if he didn't wrap himself in the Republican Party flag. I have an inkling that when Cornyn does something slimy he probably feels like a slime ball, while Ken Paxton just calls it "winning".

    ...all of which probably means Ken Paxton is going to win.

    As is usual in statewide elections in Texas, Dems remain irrelevant.

    I don't live in Texas anymore but I will say Crocket knows how to kill proper English.
    It's hard for me to listen to her. She sounds like someone screaming at her phone on speaker in a Wal Mart.

    I know nothing about her other than that.
