Down, Dooby-Do, Down, Down
Just when you think the Texas Legislature cannot possibly get any worse, it does.
Y’all probably remember me talking about Republican State Representative Molly White. the woman who wouldn’t allow Muslims in her state office and then doubled down on it.
Well, Molly got beat in the primary in this heavily Republican district. I’d like to say that’s good news but it ain’t. The guy who beat her is worse. He’s an old white male who hates your uterus. His name is Hugh Shine (seriously) and he was in the legislature back in the early 90s. He was a rightwing nut back then and the only thing that’s changed is that he’s now an older and meaner rightwing nut.
And who can forget Debbie Riddle, the meanest woman on earth? I wrote about her so many times that you’d think her middle name was Louie Gohmert. She invented terror babies, all manner of restrictions on women’s health, and slept in the hall overnight to be the first to file an anti-immigrant bill.
Poor Ole Debbie got beat.
I’d like to say that’s good news. It ain’t. Debbie got beat because her opponent contended that Debbie was caught actually speaking to Democrats. Okay, so I made that part up. But not by much.
Debbie got beat by a woman named Valoree Swanson. Go take a look. Holy cow, that woman is literally exploding with self-righteousness.
So, yeah, we dropped lower than a snake’s belly in wagon rut.
This legislative session ain’t gonna be pretty.
