My Congressman
Every year, Texas Monthly has a Bum Steer contest to see which events in Texas are the worse. As you can guess, it’s highly competitive.
My new congressman (Tom DeLay’s old seat) made the list during his first term.
Troy is … well, think Jim Jordan about a foot shorter and minus the IQ points and speaking ability. Honey, he can strut sitting down.
And, of course, the villain in this horrific violation of his right to leave his office doors unlocked for the whole damn world to nest in there, is Nancy Pelosi. I seriously doubt she could pick him out of a crowd or care enough to learn to spell his name.
By the way, he was named by Kevin McCarthy to be on the January 6th committee. McCarthy then withdrew all the GOP names. Nehls was livid, protesting that the had some “very, very serious deep questions to ask.” I suspect he was told to shuddup and sit down. However, before sliding into oblivion, he said in June of 2022 …
Meanwhile, Nehls also told the Post that the five Republicans originally slated to be on the panel are running a “shadow committee” that will center on “the real true story about what took place” on January 6, with a report to come before the August recess.
And never was another word heard about the shadow committee.
Nehls makes about as much sense as Trump now saying that the Democrats “wanted” Jan. 6 to happen. WTF?
1I was going to say that beating out Judge Cunningham’s behavior in the Texas 7 trial would take some doin’, but Troy is up to the challenge.
2Uh thanks maybe Ms. JJ? We were feeling a little butthurt that for the 2nd election in a row we were unable to oust Congress varmint Mark Amodei (NV-2). But we had sort of warm fuzzies reelecting our Democratic Senator, Catherine Cortez-Masto. Followed by a bone chilling cold bath waking up after the election to discover our fellow Nevadans had elected a freaking Republicon governor. We’re an almost blue state with harsh purple woes, so we feel your pain, Texas.
How will we evuh connect to our fellow citizen neighbors and educate them to stop voting against their own interests?
3“never was another word heard about the shadow committee.”
Dumb as he is, at least he came up with one good idea. Keeping quiet as a shadow. Wish more Republicans followed his example.
4I would think Troy would be glad for someone to lock up after him…I mean deep state anti- FA’s could sneak info to his office, lie in wait, grab him, hogtie him and convert him! Before you know it, he would be concerned about the least of us, and people of color and gays and and all of humankind!
5His mama would just die
I just love Real True Stories. I can hardly wait for their publication.
6Just guessin that being a bum steer finalist is the first A team Nehls ever made. Does he even know it was saying he’s a fool?
7I’ve been moved kicking and screaming, by the Texas GOP, from Lizzie Fletcher’s 7th District to the new TX-38 drawn for Wesley Hunt. Pray for me
8The reason we can’t see the shadow committee is because the members are vampires and vampires don’t cast shadows. Now we know why Herschel Walker went off on some tangent talking vampires vs. werewolves. We have some 4D Qanon happening here.
9My old Congressvarmint Brian Babin shows up in Mark Meadows texts twenty-one times that day, though being a back-bencher, he drew just four responses.
10Love your sentence about strutting sitting down!! classic.
11So surprising goober gohmert made the final 4 along with Texan Hershel Walker.
12Where DO Texas Rethuglicans find their candidates???? Just about the time you think they can do no worse than their existing candidate, they find another one on the bottom of their shoe.
13Oh yeah, my Congressman too. He crashed a banquet I went to last winter (he was having a fundraiser next door, plus his sister in law was at my event). My husband pretty much had to restrain me from going up to have a few words with him. We two and the only other known liberal there hung out at the bar & whispered rude things about Troy. Only good news is that his twin, Trever, lost his race for County Judge, defeated by a Brown Person with an accent! Horrors!
