Thank you for encouraging courageous journalism.

As y’all have heard more times than you care to think about, my county turned from bright red to total blue in 2018.  Every Republican candidate who had a Democratic opponent got beat so badly that their grandchildren will be born shaking.  One of the reasons for that is because of diversity.  My county – Fort Bend, a suburb of Houston – is now equally split four ways between white, black, Asians, and Hispanics.

A little bit of explaining.  Our congressman Pete Olson has resigned. The open seat attracted about 15 Republicans and we’re fixing to go into a run-off election between Troy Nehls, the current sheriff of the county who’s slicker than a greased tadpole, and Kathleen Wall, who is on the other side where the wall of conservatism ends, but if you stand on a box and get a pair of binoculars you can see her jumping up and down waving her arms.

So the sheriff is frettin’ and sweatin’.  I kinda want you to back away from the computer a bit to see the mailer that arrived in Republican mailboxes the day after a white police officer tortured and murdered a black man in Minnesota.

Deep breath, now.  Here’s the front and back of Troy’s mailer to elect him to congress.

.

No mention of health care, education, the economy, jobs, or anything that concerns real Americans.  He’s campaigning on more guns for Republicans (read: white people), hating on immigrants, and supporting Donald Trump even if he shoots a guy on Main Street.

Holy crap.  That’s what he thinks is wrong with America?  White people need more military weapons to mow down whole crowds, churches, schools, and concerts, we need to deport men and women working hard in construction, harvesting crops, and cleaning houses, and Donald Trump is like God and family.

Did you notice how all of a sudden, he’s all for those mail-in ballots.  Maybe that’s how he got elected sheriff?

And, oh, by the way, he’s a graduate of Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University and we all know the great academic standards and welcoming to independent thought they are.

Okay, but it doesn’t stop there.

On Thursday night, one of Troy’s deputies shot and killed a deputy constable while checking out a house that was reportedly being vandalized.  Troy’s twin brother, Trevor, is a constable in the county and is currently running to replace Troy as sheriff.  Yeah, incest is common is Texas politics.

The story is kinda weird since both agencies use the same radio frequencies.

The constable was wearing a body camera, the deputies were not.

.

Tell me, Trump, what was it that George Floyd died for? Please be specific. I’m sure it was something honorable or you wouldn’t have suggested it was.  He already died in vain, you enormous prick, and there’s no fixing that. That is what everybody is rageful about.  You didn’t respect his life and you sure the hell have no business telling us how to respect his brutal death.

Sending our sons and daughters to shoot our sons and daughters is a Civil War. So, this is where you want to start it? This is the hill you want to die on?  You want the American military shooting American civilians?  The police are already arresting CNN reporters.  Isn’t that enough fun for you? Do you have to see blood?

Because as we all know, whenever you use ALL CAPS it MUST BE TRUE!

The end of the Republican Party?  He is so scared being defeated

It’s becoming more and more obvious that Republican know they are fixing to lose it all.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is publicly urging judges in their mid- to late-60s to consider stepping aside ahead of Election Day to help ensure that their seats could be filled by Republicans.  

Yes, please take early retirement so Republicans can appoint the unborn to the positions. They have been screaming about protecting the unborn and those little bastards owe Republicans something.  Drop the law school requirement and we get an extra 25 years of judicial rule.  Hell, why educate Republican judges at all – they can just listen to Rush Limbaugh and he’ll tell them how to rule.

Ya know guys, John McCain kept Lindsey on a short leash.  Poor guy doesn’t even know who he is now.

They know. They do.
