love how none of these morons get that if you do negative things you're going to have negative stories written about you.

As sean10mm said, the suits, ugly as they are, at least shield our eyes somewhat. You know if he didn't have them he'd be trying to cram himself into a 34" waistband because he KNOWS that's still his size, and that wouldn't be pretty. Hell, I bet his tailors sew fake size tags in his stuff just in case he ever thinks to check.

I've never seen him use anything Trump brand except as a marketing tool. I have only ever seen him in the same room as his garbage when he wants to try and advertise it by simply having it in a picture/vid, and that's likely because he knows it's all snake oil

There was very little evidence of widespread vote manipulation in Texas. He probably wins without voter suppression, though.

Acting like his swing in Texas wasn't because he was a very good candidate is crazy. Ted shouldn't have had to even worry.

The voting machines in most of Texas are black holes with no audit capability. You couldn't find any evidence even if you looked because once the accept button is pressed no one has anyway of validating the results. There was at a minimum however a known bug that voting straight ticket defaulted the top line race choice (in this case U.S Senate) to the candidate with the last name that came first in the alphabet. Which certainly affected a non zero percentage of voters and given that the Texas Lege is currently trying to eliminate straight party voting it's pretty clear that that particular bug disproportionately affected Democratic voters. This combined with all of the voter suppression could easily account for a couple hundred thousand votes and that doesn't even get into whether any direct manipulation of the totals took place.

Essentially there is little reason to have any faith in the integrity of elections in Texas particularly given that they are and have been primarily managed by a party that has demonstrated not just a willingness but an eagerness to act in dirty underhanded and illegal ways to gain and secure power for decades.

That's not a product so much as its an existing luxury property he just slapped his name on. Granted, that's also true of the other Trump branded stuff, but the key here is the pre-existing luxury classification as opposed to the chinese mass-produced merch.

That child dying is Trump immigration policy working as intended. The administration's hope is that, by brutalizing as many migrants as possible, future people will be deterred from even trying to migrate at all.

This statement reflects that reality: DHS doesn't want to literally just kill kids for its own sake, but it views the death of this child as a regretful but necessary and justified cost of showing others that they should gently caress off. A classic of the right wing "very serious people making Hard Choices" mentality.

It is inhumane in the extreme and everyone involved should be punished for violating basic human rights.

The brutal treatment by ICE and the DHS was already stated to be an intended deterrent so this kid dying fits perfectly within their game plan.

It’s holding at around 1.5%. Unless it starts dropping waaaaaay more than that it’s just the usual opportunistic stuff. Markets are shrinking and Trump is just “nudging” them where it makes him/his buddies more money.

Honestly, the "Beto is bad because he lost to Ted Cruz" argument has always seemed a bit strange to me - Ted Cruz may be a soulless husk of a human being, but he's still a Republican running in a heavily Republican state. He was massively favored to win, and the fact that Beto came as close as he did is pretty impressive.

Do you know how many Electoral College votes almost flipping Texas is worth? (Ask Hillary) it's zero
