The 2025-2029 Combo Pack:
He'll get destroyed in a primary because I trust Southern Black voters that they're not going to choose an unserious TV celebrity whose never held a public office or done any level of real and legit public service in his damn life.
Stephen A. Smith: "We wouldn’t have a border crisis under my watch."

"We ain’t defunding any police… There’s gonna be more."

It's with much regret I foresee the inevitable, he's running

On the other hand, Talarico's team having him do the NY Media Circuit with CBS/Paramount managing to give him a Streisand Effect boost says so damn much about the state of things.
Jasmine ain't fooled, she knows the game here.
And it's not from a position of a fear of Talarico...they WANT HIM.
And this is my question too, he’s platformed her before but when it’s about running to keep office because she’s being drawn outta dueto redistricting, he chose not to invite her?? 🤨
Honestly, what was it that got Colbert's folks to book Talarico when Crockett's been booked multiple times before?
Still, if we're being honest?
Talarico doing the New York media circuit in The View and Colbert after polling data shows he's in real trouble...says a lot, doesn't it?

Listen to his voice in this clip, it's a bit scratchier than usual.
Something tells me it was quite the day in that upstairs office of his today.
He may say he's not mad, but you only say that if you mad as hell...
February 18, 2026 at 5:41 AM
In case you're wondering why CBS' statement felt so out of nowhere, well that's because it was.
And you can tell Colbert's been pissed about this all day because you can hear he's probably been yelling at people all day.
At this point, he just wants it to be May already.

BBC, Sky and ITN (who do both Channel 4 News and ITV News) running laps around American TV news is a damning statement of our TV media.
Here's Channel 4 News' piece which lasts 11 minutes.
ABC's only clocked in at 6 minutes.

This is the history of the Dem Party since 1988.
The facts are very very clear.
And you can most certainly thank Jesse Jackson for ushering in generations of Black political participation for this long-standing dynamic your 2028 fave ignores at his/her peril.
You don't win Southern Dems, you're SOL.

Supposedly the ruling states that they have to give candidates equal air time.

This applies to each election so it doesn’t matter that she’s been on his show before. This was another election.

Disregarding the FCC, the fact is the she NEVER got an invite from Stephen in the first place…

Umm why?!

It really does suck.
Because it feels like there needs to be a lot of "touch the stove" in Hollywood at the moment and it's not a fun concept.
If, god forbid, this happens and people wind up losing their jobs because they decided to fight the wrong war, they got no one to blame but themselves...
I'm like this at the moment:

If WBD wants to [REDACTED BECAUSE SOCIAL MEDIA IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE WITH PHRASES] with a deal with Skydance, and the Hollywood Guilds are so hellbent on ONLY the theatrical experience to favor Skydance over Netflix, then the studio deserves to die.

And it sucks.

One of the most underrated LPs of the 80s, IMO.
Simply as it's such a radical departure from Talk Talk's first 2 LPs.
I'm more friendly to the other big single from the album, "Living in Another World", w/the powerful guest combo of Steve Winwood on organ & Mark Feltham on the harmonica.

Just had the first can and...it's exactly as they're advertising.
It's certainly a bolder and more kickin' formula than Pibb Xtra was, that's for sure!

The last time Mr Pibb was Mr Pibb, I was 10 years old.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.

He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.

I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.

May his memory be a blessing.

Voters of Color are the base of the Democratic Party, led by Black voter and particularly Black Women which have been the only consistent Democratic voting bloc in America that has NEVER flaked out for one reason or another.
Every Pres cycle we pretend this is not the case and it's annoying AF.
And for as much as pundits wail and gnash their teeth about rural voters, they always forget that most of the rural South are Black voters. How long is it going to take for people to understand this?
February 17, 2026 at 5:15 PM
That NYT "Democratic Voter interview" thing is infuriating because it being 11-2 White w/not a single Black Woman is just pushing the idea that the Democratic Party base is majority White.
We keep going into Presidential cycles with this mindset only to wind up being proven otherwise.
Can we stop?
The real race really is here in the South and Gavin will likely be destroyed between this and so many other things on his record.
If Kamala runs and is still in the race when the race gets into the South?
People are going to be shocked.
AGAIN.
I don't know why there is all this talk around Newsom for 2028. Black women will not be forgetting how he was hiking and never got back to Kamala Harris. He will not get past South Carolina.

If y'all listened to Black women in the first place, there'd be a lot less ridiculous discourse.

I'm white, but whenever I get temptations and feelings to "stay home" or "leave it blank", I need to be reminded by clips like this and realize it's dumb and foolish that makes me surrender my voice at a table which many got literally murdered in order to get a seat at.

"Because they died, your generation has the power."

The people he named who died fighting for the right to vote, registering people to vote or died just for being Black is several of many reasons why I as a Black woman will NEVER be "Uncommitted" or "Leave It Blank." I will always vote.

And lo and behold, it's the Black Dem from Indiana.
LOL!
February 17, 2026 at 5:02 PM
So, let's review this list.
Professionals, 11-2 White, no Black Women or actual "Working class" people.
Yeah, no, this isn't representative of the Democratic Party AT ALL.
