Okay, Collin County is pretty much the last Republican big city (Fort Worth) hold out.

Republican Van Taylor used to hold the Texas Senate District 8 seat but he’s retiring, so an interesting match-up has developed in the GOP.

In March, Phillip Huffines announced he was running for it.  Phillip has been the Collin county chairman of the Republican GOP.  He is also the twin brother of Don Huffines, who is currently in the Texas Senate representing Senate District 16.

There a picture of Don Huffines.  Or maybe it’s Phillip.  I dunno. They are twins.  They can share pictures.

And all was pretty quiet until this afternoon when … the wife of indicted felon and fountain pen stealing Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that she was running.

Here’s how you know something about her. She packs a pistol.

Angela Paxton, a former guidance counselor at Legacy Christian Academy in Frisco, Texas, is running to be in the Texas Senate.

The fact that her husband is going to trial pretty soon over criminal securities fraud would dampen a lesser spirit but brash and brazen dance in her head.

This is gonna be fun.

Okay, so I sat down to eat my lunch and flipped on CNN to check on the hurricane.  Wolf Blitzer put Donald Trump on the teevee to explain hurricanes to me.

“A new and record-breaking hurricane heading toward Florida and Puerto Rico and other places.  We’ll see what happens.  We’ll know in a very short period of time, but it looks like it could something that will be … uh, not good.  Believe me, not good.”

I replayed it to double check that’s what he said and sure ‘nuf, that’s what he said.

He’s 4 years old.  He’s regressing, y’all.  I swear, he’s getting worse. But, hey, he didn’t tell them to have fun, like he did here.

“Not good?”  Not good.

Nikita Isaev, a Russian politician is a Russian politician on the far, far rightwing side.  He’s really mad at Donald Trump.

A Russian politician has threatened to “hit Donald Trump with our Kompromat” on state TV.

[Isaev] said the compromising material should be released in retaliation over the closure of several Russian diplomatic compounds across the US.

When asked whether Russia has such material, Mr Isaev, who is also director of the Russian Institute of Contemporary Economics, replied: “Of course we have it!”

Of course I want to see it!

Okay, I will admit that I am not up on my Russian but I kinda suspect that Putin saying Trump is “not my bride, and I am not his groom,” probably isn’t meant as a compliment.

I flipped on the teevee today because I wanted to throw stuff at Jeff Sessions.

Every channel had Texas Attorney Ken Paxton on.  Paxton is one of the AG’s suing over the DACA.

One interviewer asked Paxton how he felt about DACA personally, but, of course, Paxton wouldn’t answer, even after the question was asked three times.

I offer even more proof about this whole thing being only about Obama.  Here is Ken Paxton’s wife on the Texas Republican chicken dinner circuit singing, “Pistol Packin’ Momma.”  The chorus to every line is, “I’m a pistol packing’ momma and my husband sues Obama.”

The yakking stops and the singing starts around 2:20.

Somebody on teevee should ask Paxton about this.

Paxton sued Obama at least 17 times.  So, yeah, that’s what he does for a living.

The people on teevee ought to know about this.  Ken Paxton used suing Obama as a fundraiser for his campaigns.  This isn’t about the constitution – this is about politics, pure and simple.

Yeah, I’m pissed off.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was sent out to announce the repeal of DACA because God only knows what Trump would have said and this had lots of big words.  Sessions said Obama did not care diddle squat about the rule of law.  Hell, Sessions, Trump doesn’t even know what it is.

Just like I predicted, this is about Obama.  Sessions spent the first half of the speech lambasting Obama and the whole second half of the speech was about how wonderful Trump is.  Sessions even gave Trump credit for the reduction in the number of people from Mexico trying to get into the United States.  Damn, fool.  Most people are trying to get out.

Then he said this:

Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societies afflicted by corruption, poverty, and human suffering.

I think he just described Trump.

This is the cruelest thing the United States has done in my lifetime and I promise you this: I will not stand idly by and let them removed DACA Dreamers from my hometown.  These kids were vetted, they have to stay in school or employed, they had to pay $500 plus attorney fees to apply, they cannot have a felony or a serious misdemeanor, and they want to be Americans enough to work for it.  They pay social security and they cannot receive any welfare whatsoever, including food stamps.

When they applied, they gave the government their addresses and the addresses of their family members because, dammit, they trusted us.  Now we’e going to use that information to track down 800,000 of them and send them to a country most of them have never known.

And from a purely practical standpoint, what are we going to do about DACA Dreamers in the military?  Who the hell is going to rebuild Houston?

The above hissy fit was brought to you by Jeff Sessions, the most pitiful excuse for man on planet earth.
