I Love Yew, Texas
Amid all the regular crap going on, you might have missed that Allen West, former Florida congressvarmint and certified rightwing fruitcake, was elected chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
West thinks Gov. Greg Abbott is first cousins to Bernie Sanders.
Last Saturday, West and his good buddy Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller have teamed-up to hold a protest at the Governor’s Mansion in downtown Austin. What they want is for Abbott to open Texas so the Coronavirus can spread more easily.
I didn’t count and I seriously doubt that anybody else did either, but the guess is that about 200 people showed up and left their masks at home. They were white and they were old.
West has been taking on the Governor for being way too liberal.
The worst kept secret in Texas is that West is going to primary Abbott in two years. He’ll probably win the GOP primary. Just in time for Texas to flip statewide.
Lemme tell you exactly how lost West is in Texas. He scheduled the rally at the Gov’s house exactly the same time as the Texas/OU football game. Never in the history of Texas has a governor not been at the Texas/OU football game. It’s a job requirement.
Anything goes in the repugnantican party.
Off topic but this from California:

Hope this link can be opened from this post, but if not, it’s on Raw Story today. They’ll do anything to sabotage the election.
1I’m sure Barrf is ok with this.
A Texas county commissioner once defined “conflict of interest” to me. Paraphrasing slightly, “it’s when you’re at a strip joint and the Texas-OU football game is playing on the television”.
He then explained it was a ridiculous example, because the football game was only on one day a year, while “them gals will be at the strip club every day of the year”.
That falls into my “I love yew, Texas” story collection.
2I hope the TX Dems. have a great candidate lined up for 2022. We can’t have anymore also-rans that no one will get out of bed for.
3Well, this is really odd. I don’t know the elderly Texas mindset but those folks look hardcore bent on running out their Covid cluster clock.
Conversely In Florida, The Villages, a stalwart GOOP – hive, seems to have seen the light… or some kind of illumination.
Edit: Seniors in ‘The Villages’, FL. launch a full caravan of 300 golf carts to to support Biden / Harris ~ and cast their ballots at The Sumter County Elections office.

Please texas separate from USA, get rid of your socialist road system and make individuals pay to make their own roads, then barricade the roads and charge outrages tolls to use them. That will teach them the evils of socialism
5Just in case COVID-19 wasn’t spreading fast enough, several hundred white, old, unmasked people got together in front of the Governor’s house to help it along? You can’t fix stupid. I hope Texas turns blue in November. Maybe these folks will have leaned a lesson or two by then.
6Abbott should be easy to kidnap. He can’t walk.
7The hope is that the trumpster keeps infecting Repugnuts and reduces the number that are able to vote!
8They just got listed at the Cain medal site as a super spreader event. (admittedly minuscule compared to the debacle in floriduh, but still.
9He got 200 alleged Texans to show up during the OU-Texas game? They are obviously not Texans. I’m an Oklahoma State fan and I am always glued to the tv during the game.
10God, I love psych evals in the morning! The smell of super fried ego mixed with nuances of organically grown narcissism spread over a fresh piece of genetically preserved libido! Wow!
