My Congressman
For a guy who looks like he just walked out of a Huey, Dewy, and Louie cartoon, my congressman is extremely vain. He is a short guy with a big curl in the middle of his forehead surrounded by more forehead. He put up “full sized” campaign signs during his last race but the signs were taller than he is.
And for a guy who graduated from Liberty University, he thinks he’s practically Einstein.
And for a guy whose voice sounds like a teaspoon caught in the garbage disposal, he thinks he’s Cicero.
This guy, Republican Troy Nehls, is my congressman. This was a hearing featuring Pete Buttigieg before a congressional committee
For several hours, lawmakers and Buttigieg discussed road and rail safety, the cost of electric vehicles and rising energy prices amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among other topics. But four hours into the hearing, after asking a question about restrictions on the airspace over Disney amusement parks, Nehls switched gears …
I love Pete Buttigieg. After his first sentence, Nehl’s was not going to let him say another damn word. But, Pete got it in anyway.
Poor you! I’m in Lizzie Fletchers district and can be proud of her. Sadly, due to gerrymandering, I’ll be in TX-38 that was drawn for Wesley Hunt. It’s a big RED balloon over Tomball with a skinny blue string dangling down to the Galleria.
1Well, I’d say you had a worse Congressman then me….
2But Elise Stefanik is my Rep.
Troy showed up at a local function I was attending a few months ago. Not a political event, but he was holding a fundraiser in an adjacent room & crashed our party afterward, since he knew some people there. I REALLY, REALLY wanted to go over & have a few words with him, but my husband persuaded me it would not be wise. Probably not but it sure would’ve been emotionally rewarding.
3Also, re those larger-than-life cardboard cutouts: last election, he & his twin propped them up at every voting site in the area. I saw one of the twins (not sure which it was) after I got done voting, & stopped to ask him what they did with all those cutouts after election season was over; like do they stack them in the living room or what? He said no, they keep them at their office. So I suppose they are fixing to drag them all out again pretty soon.
he looks a little like a really dumb drew cary…
4Boy! Texans sure can pick ’em! Mine (for now) is Dan Crenshaw, who has some (only a few) lucid moments. Jealous of the Lizzie Fletcher folks – and I think Wesley Hunt is a full blown nut!
5Maybe a redeeming value of 45-loving Troy is that he beat Kathaleen Wall in a primary.
Twins? Yes, his twin brother Trever is now running for county judge. Are Trever and Troy interchangeable? Ex-military and ex-“law enforcement” backgrounds.
6Oh, you so have my sympathy. What an offensive piece of garbage.
7He (your congress critter) does remind me of my much younger self. I believed that if I flapped my arms up and down really hard, I would fly. He seems to have the same theory, but his involves using his lips.
8It didn’t work for me, either.
Pete Buttigieg has the art of the comeback down perfectly. He is a pleasure to listen to when someone asks him an insulting question, because he’s ALWAYS smarter and more articulate than the other guy.
9This idiot criticizes Biden for going for a bike ride?
Trump needed a golf cart while the actual world leaders walked about 700 yards.

What did Troy Nehls say about that?
10My dream ticket for 2024 or whenever: Buttigieg/ Klobachar

And the Chair was pretty sharp, too.
12J.J., I think the affront to your expert hair styling sensibilities seen on his head is the perfect storm of the collision of toxic masculinity and male pattern baldness.
“Ain’t no genetic trait gonna tell me what I can do with my hair!”
Or he lost a bet.
13I wished Pete had told Nehls to mount a bike and do better.
