You knew this was coming, right?

Okay, since Britain screwed  up their country with Bexit, can Texas be far behind?

Oh hell no.

After residents of the UK voted today to leave the European Union, the movement for an independent Texas may be gaining serious momentum, with thousands online calling for a “Texit.”

The largest group agitating for secession is the Texas Nationalist Movement, which has been promoting its own version of Brexit, called Texit, over the past several weeks. The group has taken inspiration from the pro-exit campaign in Britain, noting that the two movements share many of the same principles.

How about a GoToHellit?

Serious, they are perfectly serious.  Who do they think would stop it?  Nobody likes Texas.  The Bushes and the Gohmerts and the Dan Patricks and The Dallas Cowboys fixed all that.

Look, I am perfectly okay with letting them Texit.  I just wonder where they’re going when they leave and maybe I could get their social security check.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

This morning, so far, the court has upheld affirmative action as a factor in admission to the University of Texas.  That’s good because the more inclusive we are, the more tolerant we become.

And … they stuck down President Obama immigration policy on a 4 – 4 vote because we are not near tolerant enough yet.

Louie Gohmert, y’all.

They should have handed him the microphone.  He would have started a holy war.

Louie Gohmert is a scardy cat.

Paul Ryan, damfool congressvarmint, actually said of the Democratic sit-in, “It’s a publicity stunt.”

Of. Course. It. Is. You. Damn. Fool.  What the fool tarnation do you think it is?

What the hell do you think any sit-in is?  It is to gain publicity for your cause.  By turning off the cameras you made it forbidden fruit and gave it power.  You wanna talk about stunts?  Turning off the camera wasn’t a stunt?

What America needs is not less publicity but more, far more, publicity about who the NRA owns.

And while we’re on this subject, what exactly do you call the entire life of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee?  A thoughtful process of self discovery and ethics actualization?

One other thing while I’m mad and feeling my oats.  I heard with my own two ears that Paul Ryan says that he’s fighting to “defend the constitution because every citizen in this country deserves Second Amendment Rights because of the Heller decision.”

Two things: Is Ryan saying that felons and those adjudicated insane have a right to guns?

Second, Roe V Wade says I have the right to privacy but that doesn’t stop you from infringing on my rights.

Paul Ryan is a damn fool.

Take a look at this total awesomeness.

Any time I start to lose faith in my political party, I take pride that I am in the same party as this man.

Thank you, Congressman, thank you.

Mired in their shame, Republicans turned off the camera but they cannot turn off the constant shine of John Lewis.

Hey, you just gotta love East Texas because they gave you a whole slew of crazy white male Republicans.  Truly, when Democrats want to feel very superior and smart, they just go read a newspaper from East Texas.

But, there will be one less to push around.

I told you guys in March about Super DeLux Brand Christian Smith County Judge Joel Baker being in a mess of trouble for some curious sexual activity, which he seems to have named on his father’s death and stress.  You know, thing that have happened to no one else but him.

He stayed in office because, obviously, Smith County would not survive without him.  Well, now it’s June and this has happened:

Less than two hours after he convened the regular meeting of the Smith County Commissioners Court, County Judge Joel Baker’s key card was deactivated and his county email was shut down, following his suspension from office by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

This wasn’t for the sexual stuff.  Nah, that’s kinda expected from East Texas Super DeLux Brand Christians.  He’s in trouble now for three violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.  Voting to spend taxpayer money behind closed doors is a nasty little thing to do.

However, this is only a suspension.  Only three judges have been removed in Texas since 2002.  So, you either gotta think we have more upstanding, righteous judges than we have cows, or that the Commission is merely there to provide cover.  I don’t know about you, but I’m betting on cover.

I can’t wait to see what Louie Gohmert says about this!

Thanks to Karen for the heads up.
