Where’s your backbone, where’s your code at?

Hmm the thing is you can tell Dan Patrick sorry I can’t go on your show at this time. What you can’t do is tell him you’re going on and then bail and then hit golf shots right behind his set.

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 DM’s open

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 Some people have crazy opinions 🤷 it’s a shitty opinion. Fine, I’ll yield that was his focus 😂 I do like that you keep using my quote on me.

Do you think that’s more important than studying his campaign and using it to inform whomever the next candidate is?

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 I just wouldn’t even take any crazy talk about “we should abolish primaries and have parties pick candidates” seriously enough to even bother arguing against it, is what I’m getting at

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 It’s not possible for either of us to truly 10,000% know if he meant it or is trolling/grifting, but I’ll maintain the pushback that it would make more sense to just ignore the doucheyness and focus on the arguments about candidate quality and why his cratered after the primary

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 Also, thanks for the replies, and I’m being 100% genuine. I tend to reply to snark with snark and I’m working on it lol but I do enjoy your show sometimes! I appreciate having an actual dialogue

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@Blarfk @PianoManHarris @drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 Jfc with voters like you, no wonder your team has been losing for most of the trump era 🥴

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 don’t mistake this as an endorsement of his entire post, but I think it does a disservice to good discourse (and more bluntly, political strategy) when people aren’t able or willing to engage with the points the other side makes aside from the douchey jokes

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 I added a 2nd reply to your previous one with continued thoughts, was running out of space and I don’t use X a ton so not sure if that was the best way to respond

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 And to follow up, I do disagree with the sentiment that primary voters are lower than dirt and I also disagree with parties picking their own candidates. I just believe, the same way you enjoy embellishing things for a laugh, that he was trying to have some fun with his rhetoric

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@Blarfk @drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 Ok we’re just going in circles now haha 🤣 I know you feel very aggrieved on behalf of primary voters and you feel the need to white knight it for their precious feelings.

Some data on his campaign suggests he was rapidly losing support post-primary. Why I wonder? Too extreme?

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@Blarfk @drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 Then why did he say so many other words

Why am I even trying to help Cody’s less intelligent minions? Good question

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@Blarfk @drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 If that’s the takeaway you’d like to fixate on, be my guest, but it won’t get you any closer to the real issue. Its the age old argument about trump, taking him literally or seriously? Why acknowledge a point about extremism in primaries when you can cry about an insult instead?

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@Blarfk @drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 The post said a lot more than that my guy

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 There we go!!! Now we’re getting somewhere. Any thoughts on the obvious larger point of the post, or are there more trees in the forest to inspect?

[TomDevin @TomDevin7]

@drmistercody @SwannMarcus89 If there were Olympics held for being deliberately obtuse to avoid confronting arguments you don’t like, you’d win gold. You and Hasan would probably be fighting on the podium over it

"Kex Paxton is  gallivanting throughout Europe with his mistress. His wife is divorcing him on biblical grounds. He's committed voter fraud. He's been impeached by his own party. He's been indicted by his own party. He's had his own lawyer turn on him.

He's just not a good dude, and I think the theme of this week has been that the American people are sick of scumbags. When are Republicans gonna start calling for Ken Paxton to drop out?"
