I Love Yew, East Texas
Welcome to Waksom, Texas, deep in the heart of East Texas – the land of pines, poverty, and pentecostals.
Waksom has a population of 2,068 contained in 790 households. Males had a median income of $29,625 versus $18,859 for female and 24% of the city lives below the poverty line
This is the Waksom city council.
The guy in the middle is the mayor but he doesn’t vote unless it’s to break a tie.
These five white old men declared Waksom “a sanctuary city for the unborn.” While there are currently no clinics performing abortions in Wakson nor plans for any, the men saw this as a preventative measure.
“Most likely we will wind up getting sued if this is passed,” the mayor, Jesse Moore, said. “It could go to the Supreme Court.”
That prospect would present fiscal challenges for the city, lawmakers acknowledged.
“We don’t have the possible millions of dollars that it would take to take it to that level,” said alderman Jimmy Dale Moore, who nevertheless voted for the ordinance. “We can’t pay those kind of attorney’s fees. The city don’t have the money.”
Honey, you don’t have enough money for everybody to eat every damn day, so wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier just to quit getting women pregnant.
“Honey, you don’t have enough money for everybody to eat every damn day, so wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier just to quit getting women pregnant.”
The perfect response.
(It seems as though the councilmen are eating just fine.)
1Money for the next level? To the Supreme Court? They’re gonna run out of funds as soon as the first unborn shows up at a council meeting and asks for sanctuary, and they get the bill for prenatal care.
2Sanctuary city for the unborn? Why thank you, Mayor Jesse. That was very kind of you to propose that Waksom, Texas be the city to offer shelter to women seeking asylum who might be pregnant.
3Bet their congressman Louie is very proud of them. Perhaps he will help with the legal fees.
4Did you mispel Waksom, Texas? Shouldn’t it be Whacksome, Texas [as in ‘whackjob’ or ‘off’].
Their preachers are warming them all up for the 2020 elections.
Rep. Norma Torres had it right: ‘Sex-starved Rethug politicians got nothing better to do than run roughshod over the lil’ wimmen’.
.
Did y’all read about how the Texass Repub Party is going to spend $25 million on a voter registration drive [R’s only], hoping to add ~1 million Rethug voters statewide?
Hope that the Democrats will launch an -effective- counteroffensive to this.

I was fortunate enough to only work a few times on the fringe of East Texas; OK people if you were an older Anglo, but otherwise like a trip back in time to the bad old days.
5I’ve come to the conclusion that what we need is an ejaculation permit. Those little swimmers are obviously alive and can’t be wasted! Also, a man would have to put up a bond to be used in case he wasn’t around to help raise the child. Of course in lovely Wascom, the men I’m sure would be happy to comply
6how, exactly, are the “unborn” expected to make their way to this lovely town, by themselves? unless they think there are lots of pregnant women being forced to have abortions, who would flee there to safety, this doesn’t even make sense, from just a practical standpoint.
7Waksomstan … silly old men telling everyone how wimmin should behave!
8That’ll learn them young Jezebels who are way too purty for their own good and who wouldn’t look at us if we were the last menfolk on this God given earth (that we are fixin’ to destroy)…Amen!
9We need to start sending them all our used tampons…just in case.
10Apparently, they’ve already designated Wakom a sanctuary city for the criminally stupid…deliver us, Jesus!
11They’re virtue-signalling: “sending a message”
The message received is not, in this case, the message they intended to send.
12Bankrupt the town then after showing the commissioners knew they were passing a bill that wa, on the face, unconstitional, go after each one and bankrupt them as well.
13No mercy.
Leave them with 2 changes of clothes standing homeless on the side of the road with an attachment on any earning they may ever get again in their lives.
Ruin them.
Ruin the community.
Show no mercy.
I’m completely confused as to what a “sanctuary city for the unborn” is even supposed to be. All a normal sanctuary city does is not illegally detain someone suspected of being undocumented until ICE can verify their status.
I’m sure the the appropriate authorities are already aware when a fetus comes into town.
14Wait. . .what? Women in Texas are being forced into abortions they don’t want, so they can flee to Waksom? Then what happens? Will the “sanctuary” help her find a place to stay? Help her get pre-natal care? Pay her hospital bills? Help her find a job so she and the baby can live there? No? Somehow, I didn’t think so.
15Does this include sheep and family members?
16Bethlehem looking for a virgin and 3 wise men; Waksom looking for an ugly six year old who can outrun her 3 brothers.
17Sign as you leave Louisiana and enter East Texas: “You are now entering Texas. Set your clock to 1836.”
18Please, please someone sue this excuse of a city.
19Hmmmm. Just from looking at that pix of the council, I would say that with all the other statistics thrown in, Waksom will soon be a ghost town. Its way small enough already. Earning power is absolutely skeletal. If all they ever have for elected leadership are people with one and a half foot in the grave, their future is in no way assured. There were places like that all over the map and now only the grass grows and the last sign identifying the town was eaten by beavers.
