That story you posted was from May, prior to the Primary. Meaningless now.
You need to learn to read. The point of the article from May is Jewish Democrats largely united, including the Jewish Attorney General, to oppose El-Sayed. Despite an enormous advantage in money (partially funded from Jewish PAC's), their candidate barely lost the primary and now are using Esther (I'm sure you have read it) to help justify switching their support to El-Sayed. The lead in to my original post was strange bedfellows. So simplistic.

You’ve become nothing more than background noise train. If Keshel gets it wrong, he will be the first to let you know since he has pride in his work and will analyze it to see what was incorrect.

If betting is manhood, I’ve got it in spades - I bet in the market. If the $100 dollars I took from you in 2016 was invested in NVDA in February 2020, it has now become $3300. Thank you very much. If betting losers like you and Icky is manhood, I’ll pass. Old Icky when confronted with an actual challenge - Climb the highest mountain in Oregon, Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, or Idaho tucked tail and said “Utah is too far from Chicago”, LOL.

Since you are part of the stick to the issues crowd, what issues of yours does Talirco advance?

The issue of Republicans not nominating criminals for higher office would be the primary one. I am not a fan of crooks in our politics, on either side. I am not a fan of extremists, either. Paxton is both. (Talarico is not my cup of tea, but he passes the basic civic decency test that you conveniently reject in the Trump era.)

You talk of winning $100 from me on a bet where you gave either 4-1 or 5-1 odds like it's something great. I can tell you need that to be untouched as part of your self-worth. But I'm also aware you don't think Abbott will win by double digits (or Biggs will win at all), because if you did you'd take the bet. I bet people all the time. Betting is a tax on BS, one of the best quotes I've ever seen. I see right through your BS on this election (I can tell you I didn't bet much on the 2024 election, I thought Trump had a significant chance to win throughout 2024). And that said, I will be voting for Abbott, so it's no shock I think he will significantly outperform Abbott!

No surprise that they came together after the primary. What is the mystery? Yes. I am familiar with the story of Esther, I read the Bible nightly before my prayers. 🤡

Huh, this is very interesting. My memory is poor so you are welcome to correct me here. I remember you being a fan of Bolton. You were so fired up about his charges you offered $1000 bet for any takers on him not being convicted of anything. Now that he is convicted is that a tax on your BS?

Have you ever read Esther which the Dem was using to implore other Jewish Dems to switch support to El-Sayed? P-off.

Frankly, the JDC is nothing short of a group of imbeciles.

I have no specific recollection of offering that bet, but I definitely was a skeptic of the initial charges against Bolton. I do know that I later posted that they appeared to have merit, both in the reporting on what they were based upon and the fact that the investigation itself was a continuation of an investigation from Old Joe's administration.

That said, my initial skepticism was absolutely proven wrong (and I don't deny that, because I was pretty sure it was wrong well before the guilty plea).

As for the tax on BS, yeah if someone had made such a bet with me, I'd have been taxed. If you give the opinion, take the bet from someone who disagrees, and then lose the bet, you've been taxed.

TJ refused the bet (and if he'd have wanted to bet $25 I'd have taken it), so I know he doesn't believe what he posted. He's just admitting it was BS, not getting taxed on it.

But still strange bedfellows who went all out to elect anyone but El Sayed in the primaries and now support him, using Esther as part of the justification. Using Esther was not necessary.

I wonder if the Dem party can ever move far enough left so liberal Jewish voters abandon the Dem's? The Dem socialists are anti Israel but also anti religion in general. For some reason Islam seems to be OK. Hopefully Mike Rogers (R) wins in Michigan and offsets the lunacy in Texas to vote for Talarico...

No one should support El Sayed or Paxton.

That would solve a lot of problems right there. Parties would get with the program real quick if AES and KP went down 98-1.

The bet was to run anywhere for 5 miles. Anywhere, anytime. Offer still stands. You pussed out because you’re a ***** and asked me to climb a mountain across the country instead. Something you haven’t even done yourself. What a hero. It’s almost like you’re avoiding the competition.

Perhaps she was promised something behind the $cene or perhaps a higher place of stature in the Party. I’m not sure what the difference is between that and sleeping your way into prominence as Kamala did. Pols can find a way to prostitute themselves in quite a few ways.
The NY Governor wore the full head scarf for a speech before Muslims !

This would be the next set of storms. The “Box” where those people got caught is no joke - been through it twice. Narrow with high walls and nowhere to run. But, usually some decent shade, pretty flat and easy to move fast.

IF they find the bodies, they can be found tens of miles down river during normal flows. They ask the rafting companies to “keep an eye out”.
Basic knowledge of what the oncoming weather is upstream will save lives.

Would love to see some rain for you guys. Phoenix airport might get to 2" YTD!

I'll be out there tomorrow. Was hoping it would be cooler, going to be in the low 90s and dry.
Did you bother to learn what green areas of Tucson are doing to use the available rainwater for green lawns, trees, flowering plants >

Instead of trying to shame posters into betting large sums of money, that they use to invest in the Trump economic explosion in the markets, use a betting site.

The only bet I recall was You and I betting on something long forgotten. I recall sending you a single malt Scotch. You were kind enough to not require a top shelf $$ single malt !

The Jewish side of my family, were together last month with me for a memorial service.

They are no longer automatic Dem voters since the destruction of NYC.

Now they study the candidates closely !

Totally disagree. AOC is a far left socialist loon. She will not only continue to get reelected by the idiots in NY, but could be the Dem nominee for president in the not so distant future. It will not matter what happens in Michigan.

Nope. The total lunacy of the Thune led Senate is how much they’ve held up the Agenda people voted for. They had opportunity to codify popular and correct immigration EO’s. Slow playing judge appointments, no recess appointments for their own party. Instead of making sure the Republicans have pulled apart important sections from the Dems, the Establishment losers would rather try to take down half of their party. Stuffy-assed morons.
