so a gun youtuber is running for congress district 23 if anyone here is in the area you might want to check it out I watch a ton of his videos also on his b side channel he’s going to vlog the whole process so that’s interesting on its own

He's NOT beating Gonzalez.

 

[Zachowon]

He is a better then Gonzalez and actually cares about the second amendment

 

[The Whispering Monk]

I think he might actually carry some weight with his name recognition. Especially once he starts having people go, "Who?", and the others pass on links to his online stuff.

 

[hyperspacewizard]

It helps that he actually understands the new tech and is already in the YouTube sphere so I could see him maybe getting on a bunch of podcasts and his own vlogs an videos are great for making him seem more relatable and understandable compared to a bunch of people in office now.

Like I've said before: Gonzalez wins reelection.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Like I've said before: Gonzalez wins reelection.

I'm not doubting that because of the big (Incumbent) next to his name. However, I think he's got a better chance than most to make it a real race.

BREAKING: TX State Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) acquitted on ALL charges of impeachment by the TX State Senate.

Told y'all Paxton was NEVER going to lose his job.

I didn't think he would b/c it felt WAY too politically motivated. Once I heard what the charges amounted to...it was obvious they were completely bogus, and the people that brought them ought to lose their jobs.

Especially half of the TX House of Representatives, who voted to impeach Paxton back in late May: I was like y'all better start looking for jobs in the private sector in 2024.

It was freaking obvious the TX State Senate was NEVER going to remove the scumbag.

It should start with Phelan loosing all support.

 

[49ersfootball]

I do NOT see Phelan losing his seat in the TX House of Representatives & including the Speakership considering he's in a super safe district.

 

[49ersfootball]

Embattled TX State Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) seriously considering launching primary challenge against United States Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) in 2026.

If Cornyn retires by NOT seeking reelection to 5th term, Paxton waltzes into the United States Senate.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

I'll be so happy to see Cornyn gone. Such a tool.

 

[49ersfootball]

Cornyn has held statewide office since 1991.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Cornyn has held statewide office since 1991.

oh...i know...and it's saddened me the entire time.

 

[49ersfootball]

oh...i know...and it's saddened me the entire time.

You just do NOT like Cornyn at all do you.

 

[49ersfootball]

I'm not sure if anyone on Sietch heard yet, but Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced he's switching political parties & joining the GOP according to the Texas Tribune.
