Zoom! Zoom!

Okay y’all, it appears that Texas Senator John Cornyn has purchased himself an automobile with his campaign donations.

Take a lookie here:

And here:

 

 

See them all right here.

The guy has to have his PACs buy him a car?  Or the little ole ladies sending him $5 from their social security because he sends them a letter telling them that he’s the only thing standing between them and rancid pot-smoking naked liberal communistic socialism.

You know who’s gonna be really upset about this?  Texas Congressman Roger Williams, who owns a couple of car dealerships. So when Cornyn says to buy local, he doesn’t.

 

Remember When?

Remember when Republicans used to be all Church Lady Methodist and then they turned against the church and became Onward Christian Soldiers?

So, they gave up religion pretty much altogether and bought themselves some military weapons and got all Majorie Taylor Green, who could name maybe three or four books of the Bible and thinks Leviticus Two is in the New Testament.

Remember when Republicans used to be on the side of big business against the government?

Oh, not so much.  They just met Donald Trump with his hand up Greg Abbott hiney, talking and yakking.

Texas business groups come out in force against ban on vaccine mandates for private employers – AGC-TBB, NFIB, Texas REALTORS, Chemical Council, Texas Civil Justice League, CPAS, Hotels and Lodging, TMA, Texas Trucking Association, multiple Chambers, and many others urge lawmakers to vote no on anything like SB51 by Sen. Hughes.

So screw business. Republicans now have military weapons and anarchy.

Big Business responds thusly.

 

I Know. I Know. I Absolutely Should Not Laugh.

Okay, so here’s the deal.  The QAnon woman who was trampled to death by her own colleagues at the January 6th coup attempt, was carrying … wait for it … a Don’t Tread On Me flag.

They were warned not to tread on her and they did it anyway, dammit.

So that makes your Don’t Violently Overthrow My Government tee-shirt pretty much worthless.

Sorry.

 

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste

“Moms for Liberty”.  It’s the latest result of the poisoning of millions of American minds through continuous dosing of toxic disinformation and outright lying.  Founded by a Florida women, co-founder Tina Descovich is calling on its 56,000 members to disrupt school board meetings all over the country to protest not only mask mandates and disease mitigation, but also curriculum content including which words to learn how to spell and pictures in science books.  She also calls on children to rip the masks off of other children.

Tactics used by this group include not only shouting and jeering during school board meetings but also harassing school board members in their homes, filing false police reports, and doxxing, the same tactics used by gun nuts all over the country against those who call for common sense gun laws.

As long as law enforcement and the courts look the other way on right wing terrorists, these tactics will continue.  These terrorists, inspired by the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th won’t stop until they see a large group of these domestic terrorists go to jail for years, not months.   Local police must also stop their nonsense at meetings and prosecute menacing and personal threats.  If we are to have any chance of saving our democracy, groups like Moms for Liberty must be met with strong opposition and prosecution for their tactics.

It’s A Deal, Skippy!

Woo … woo … a statement.

 

Damn, I find myself in the odd predicament of agreeing with Donald Trump: The single most important thing for Republicans to do is – don’t vote.  But hell, they’re gonna whine either way.

 

Besides, What’s a Few More Dead People?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott got taken down to the river and after they dunked him in the spit of Donald Trump, they bashed his head against a rock a few times.

It’s bad enough that he has decreed – and I mean that in the regal sense – that no business in Texas can require their workers to be vaccinated to protect their customers. So much for the first commandment of the Republican Party: government should get off the backs of business.

Bad enough that he has decreed that my constitutional right to privacy is worthless and he – and he alone – can control my body.

He’s trying like the dickens to up the death toll in the wake of his conversation from Really Mean Guy to Trump Death Machine.

His latest meaner than ten acres of snakes move is this one.

 

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) quietly removed information intended to help prevent LGBTQ youth suicide from one of its websites after Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was criticized by a primary opponent for “promoting transgender sexual policies to Texas youth.”

This came about because Don Huffines, Abbott’s Republican opponent, posted this to Twitter:

But that’s not even the half of it.  A taxpayer funded governmental agency, Family Protective Services, begin exchanging emails about the Huffines tweet within 13 minutes of him posting it.

Thirteen minutes after Huffines’ video went up, media relations director Marissa Gonzales emailed a link to Crimmins, the agency’s communications director, under the subject line “Don Huffines video accusing Gov/DFPS of pushing liberal transgender agenda.”

“FYI. This is starting to blow up on Twitter,” Gonzales wrote.

Crimmins then queried Darrell Azar, DFPS’ web and creative services director, about who oversees the page. “Darrell — please note we may need to take that page down, or somehow revise content,” he wrote.

The page was taken down and left a big fat lie in its place. They lied that the page was taken down to update the sources.

This information was directed to older kids in foster care, where kids are three times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who never spent time in foster care.

He has an evil heart, y’all.
