Good of Tillis to speak up, but since when are republicans the least bit concerned about ethics?

The only thing better than an anchor on the Republican caucus is an anchor at the bottom of the ocean.

No he's not. His career is as over as Cornyn's. #JamesTalarico

He's trying to get us to support the OTHER face-eating-leopard, so no, he didn't even make the bar.

Seems like a few senators have had enuf

Tillis would vote for Paxton in November if he could.

Thom Tillis is a fraud. When it’s time to fall in line, he’ll crumble. Don’t fall for it. He’s all talk (and apparently belt buckle-sized bolo tie clasp)….

Tillis is remarkably refreshing these days. Amazing what could be accomplished if the “party” rules freed their members.

Not really. He will fit right in. More likely, he will be an anchor on fox news.

Feels like he’s baiting conservatives into voting for Paxton.

Has he ever met Trump? His administration is like a black hole of “ethically challenged” republicans. And his caucus is the caucus of Trump.

Have to hand it to Tillis, he comes up with some good ones. Let’s see if he can get Hegseth out like he’s vowed to do.

I agree 💯. Tillis is still MAGA in his beliefs. Don’t trust him.

Ouch!

Don't hold back, Senator.

I ::never:: saw that end coming 🙄

Again Tillis is a party man of integrity and does not want death of party by Trump

Love how he tries to reposition himself on specific issues. He is as phony as they come, you sir have been an anchor on our state and country. Pleas fade to black

Tillis found his balls only after announcing his retirement.

As though that caucus of pedophile supporters aren't already morally bankrupt.

well, i am rooting for Paxton then.

Has this guy meet any other Republicans?

Wow 😯

bsky.app/profile/radl...

Two 🐕💩 senators being beaten by two 🐘💩 senators.

Tillis now do Donald Trump.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🤣

What the fuck is "sufferating?"

To call #Tillis an ethical politician is to call the Four Horsemen Freedom, Peace, Abundance, and Health

I love it when the toilet piranhas turn on each other!

Great analogy Aaron! I must write it down to use another time!😂

Cornyn is still sucking up to the fat bastard, hoping for some crumbs to be thrown his way. 😜

I legit read “caucus” as “carcass”

Trump is filling the government with criminals BC: He knows they have no morals He can dangle a pardon He can con them with greed We need to vote in overwhelming numbers so the world witnesses watchhappens in the process & despite the immediate outcome knows the will of the US citizens

Cornyn still COULD do a lot of damage to trump's efforts, IF he chose to do the RIGHT thing.

The way Republicans can suddenly harness truth and reality when they feel like it..

GOOD It’s called KARMA

Love this for them, they get the candidate they deserve right on brand

of course he goes bulworth when he’s on his way out the door

Hate to break this to him but there are many anchors to repubs already.

🔥😂

Sorry. I was not thinking runoff. You are of course right.

"won"

their biggest concern is paxton is a grandstander who will need a substitute for all the lawsuits & investigations he launches, he’ll get behind a mic spewing hatred & lies, trump wants him for a reason-he has no moral compass, is racist, faux religious, autocracy driven, the perfect trump candidate

For a minute there I thought he was taking about Demon President.

Well he did have an eating disorder

And Cornyn is quoted as saying he would support whoever the party elects in his primary. It’s not about Texas it’s about power.

He’ll change his tune if Paxton wins Tuesday. They always fall in line, no matter how terrible the person they stump for is.

In other words, Paxton is going to LOSE. #VoteTalarico4Texas

That's an A grade insult right there.

I can think of a few other anchors… why do they get the courage to speak out only when they retire…

Fellow Texan here. All of those ads trying to prove who's the biggest sycophant..

Oh snap!

Sure, Paxton's the punchline to a bad joke, but then again, he's a Republican. The likes of Tillis only stand up the biggest joke of them all-- the party boss, Trump-- when they're on the way out the door.

😂😂😂

🤣😬

I find it funny that politicians find their spine (or balls or spleen) when they have nothing to lose.

I think he will fit in nicely. When the guy at the top is a level 3 sex predator, there is no bottom.

It's not gonna kill any Republican to vote for Talarico! So just do it, if for no other reason, to ensure Paxton is NOT IN A SEAT IN THE SENATE!!! Talarico knows how to work with those across the isle. Try to be mature about this!

Tuberville might get some competition for the floor.

Whatever Thom Tillis is running for next, we don’t want him

To the contrary, he’ll fit right in.

👆 They are coming alive…. Maybe these outgoing GOP senators can get some relief for their constituents. We can hope?

So why is Paxton toxic but Trump is not for their caucus? Republicans still pretending that they’re a legitimate party with any policies, morals or ethics.

LOL

Paxton fits right in. He's a crook! CROOK! Trump's a crook. The RepubliKLAN Party has become a criminal enterprise!

Lowest of the low

It's just tacking to a new messaging. It's not "Corruption", it's "Ethically Impaired Disorder" and trying to argue on that basis will lead to screams of "discrimination" from the GOP. It will also allow RFK Jr. to sell his 100% natural Raccoon Meat-and-2-veg plus Cyanide pills.

The internal polls must be disastrous for Republicans to have to stoop to being honest.

Anyone ever notice how Texas keeps electing white supremacists males…gerrymandering. Their psychopathic gene is strong.

As I understand it Paxton is immoral scum. So he’ll fit right in with paedo-protectors MAGA.

That how I’m voting on Tuesday! Can’t wait!!!

Elect the Democrat and problem solved!

There’s Tapper pretending to care.

Vote Blue, TEXAS! Oh, and fuck Jake Tapper and his miserable book.

Well deserved. Trump is determined to prove that what a lazy corporate media reports as Trump’s political skill is, in reality, major political weakness.

As a Brit watching this, it's clear that your entire system's fucked. You've got a rapist Russian agent in charge & everythig's fucked but you're all stumbling round wondering how this happened & pretending it's in some way semi-normal. Fuck off, get rid of him & learn some fucking humility.

Once again, why did you vote for RFK Jr. and Kristi Noem?

On the bright side, Tom, he won’t make into your caucus.

GO GO TALARICO!!! @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social No comparison. Not between Talarico and Paxton, not between Talarico and Cornyn. Talarico is the real deal and he's got the votes of every Texan I know.

His criminality is the reason tx magas love him. He’s a trump doppelgänger. Don’t b surprised if he runs, successfully, for president in the not too distant future.

Trump is the anchor around all Republicans. Tell the truth and shame the devil.

Oh well. You guys didnt stand up to him

in hellhole TX, #1 in uninsured,starvation wage, worker death, hunger, bullshit lies in textbooks,cops who piss pants confronted w/shooter, worst nursing homes, mass shooting,worst to live/work in&fuckin CORP WELFARE,like in child fuckin felon Trump administration, corruption respected &rewarded

Not holding back when he is not kissing the pig's ring

Yeah spare me with your concern about ethics when YOU protect pedophiles!!! -It was funny and true though😄

Example # 1,000 of Tapper normalizing GOap weirdos by refusing to ask the obvious questions.

100%!

The Texas House of Representatives impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton on May 27, 2023, by a vote of 121–23, largely over allegations of bribery, abuse of public trust, and obstruction of justice tied to his relationship with an Austin real estate developer. He. Is. A. Criminal.

Sufferating

Suffering

Tillis is corporate media’s “Honest Republican” of the month.

Meanwhile, that bolo tie is really something, isn't it?

Tillis, Cornyn and the other MAGA republicans who have either lost primaries or resigned haven't changed. They haven't called for the release of Epstein files or read the names on Senate or House floor.

Let's hope so.

senators are funny

Good. I hope Paxton sinks republicans everywhere.

Love how Jake is giving that look that says, "Oh, my pearls, he's taking that too far!"

Sooooo ... an understatement?

If elected, I agree that Paxton will help the Republican caucus stay exactly where it dropped anchor -- abrogating the Senate's job to the executive branch, defending corruption, and generally supporting Trump in everything.

If there wasn’t so much on the line, this would be fun to watch

Just so I understand, Paxton is the Jeffrey Dahmer of ethics?

Trump’s endorsement tells you all you need to know about him and Paxton. They are two damaged deviants who stand outside every social and ethical norm you can name. And somehow, there are still many in the GOP caucus who won’t be deterred from supporting both. America is one F’d up country.

Nails it.

The ONLY WAY you get Trump's endorsement is to suck up to him 100% of the time. Any deviation from that mounts criticism/threat of a primary challenge. Y'all made your bed, now you have to lie in it. I hope Paxton wins and that Talarico kicks his ass--that will be SO FUN to watch the aftermath.

Maybe Tillis is going to change his mind about running in 2028

Test of Trump’s power in Texas

such impressive rhetoric!

I’ll take it.

Replying to @terry-scott.bsky.social I have read the cause of such effects in Galen, and it is a kind of deafness—to speak of an anchor when the ship is already aflame.

Has he had a couple vertebrae fused?
