JASMINE CROCKETT!!!!


"Insolent, Shouty Brat Brings Burn Book To Congress"

"When Crockett was done — to be clear, she didn’t ask any questions, and didn’t intend to — Bondi started whining about undocumented immigrants who had been convicted of crimes in Texas, to which Crockett replied, “CONVICTED! So what we talkin’ about? Convict some of these perpetrators that raped these women that are sitting behind you that you won’t even acknowledge are here!”

Every time.

If she beats Talarico in the primary, I am becoming very slowly but increasingly optimistic she can flip the seat.

given our demographics. I live here in TX and have some idea how they vote here (and how they talk in conservative circles).

But I also was extremely impressed with the way she handled Bondi yesterday. Two different subjects as far as I'm concerned - and I definitely think she is a leader in the democratic party. We need more like her!

Independent voters.

And the GOP has not been shy about their fear of his ability to do so (his originally district was solid red until he flipped it).

But yeah. She is incredible and I see good things for both their futures regardless of how next month turns out.

9. It sure would be nice to have that senate seat -

we don't have a chance at Ted Cruz again for 5 years I believe. No matter which candidate makes it through to the general we will be working hard.

But in state wide Texas race she is going to lose. This isn't New Jersey or hell it isn't even Missouri, it's freaking Texas. Telerico is the best and most brilliant chance to actually bring one of the Senate seats in Texas to a Democrat. Here is another "move" in plain view where the Democrats will either get it right or fuck it up. They need to try to start getting most of these things right. Our Democracy is on the table.

5. Ms. Crockett might make an outstanding US Attorney General

She, unlike P Bondi, is a person of integrity who has her priorities straight.

and she is - that's when she actually came to TX - she graduated from University of Houston's law school 20 years ago and practiced for a while. Her presentation was so much better than Bondi's yesterday.

How does the person treat others? With kindness and respect or disdain and humiliation?

Ms. Crocket wanted to address the concerns of the victims of Epstein.

Ms. Bondi, figuratively and literally, turned her back on the victims of Epstein.

Same goes for life. How do we use this miracle we've been given -- a life as a human being -- to treat other people?

Do we interact with others as they, too, hold the spirit of the Creator in another form?

Or...

Do we think as solipsists and hold others are mere illusions for our pleasure and entertainment?

I’m not even sure she knew where she was going with that argument. You’re trying to attack someone by talking about convictions of illegals. Oh no! Not convictions of illegals.

21. Jasmine Crockett and other Dems - More like this toward any witness?
Thu Feb 12, 2026, 09:08 PM
Feb 2026

Maybe what the Dems need is to subpoena witnesses but NOT ask any questions!
Simply read into the record what the witness has ever done and said.
Don't give them time to answer anything.
Imagine RFK Jr or Kash sitting there having his "work" record and Personal shit read into the Congressional Record.
Better yet, Noem and Homan from Trump's first term also having to hear all she's responsible for but not being able to answer!
Also, the ICE leaders, Border People and anyone else trump has appointed.

Anyone?

22. After Bondi went off on some attack about cartel drones being shot down in TX
Thu Feb 12, 2026, 09:13 PM
Feb 2026

and that's what people should care about, Crockett asked permission to add to the record that they were not cartel drones but party balloons. This was yesterday before that story was well known and I wasn't sure what she was referring to. Amazing though that Bondi didn't know that that whole thing had been proven false.
