And I knew you were talking about Pasadena, CA. Made me laugh though since this reminded me of rumors homeland security once initially dismissed a threat as non-credible since it entailed targeting a refinery in Pasadena, and their high level investigators quickly determined there are no refineries in Pasadena. Fortunately someone eventually realized there's also a Pasadena, Texas.

Well shit. And to think this whole time I thought we were talking about Lower Alabama. No wonder I'm so confused.
-
In that case I think you meant to write Pasadena, California.

“Gravy Seal open carry types” - I’m not sure if I’ve been living under a rock but I’ve never heard this term before, and I love it.

And before anyone else gets their panties in a wad over this (or gets tricked by a far-right leaning, billionaire-funded smear machine again), if you read the bill you’ll see it only applies to the following people/entities: Sec. 255.0015. REQUIRED DISCLOSURE ON CERTAIN POLITICAL ADVERTISING CONTAINING ALTERED MEDIA; CRIMINAL PENALTY. (a) This section applies only to a person who: (1) is an officeholder, candidate, or political committee; (2) makes expenditures during a reporting period that in the aggregate exceed $100 for political advertising, other than an expense to cover the basic cost of hardware, messaging software, and bandwidth; or (3) publishes, distributes, or broadcasts political advertising described by Subsection (b) in return for consideration. So if you want to make funny memes fire away. You’re safe so long as you aren’t a politician, PAC, or getting paid to do so. Sincerely, Dade’s mom

Speaking of dirty money, if you’re going to link articles published by Texas Scorecard, you should know Tim Dunn was the primary financial backer of Empower Texas; Texas Scorecard is an online publication that was launched by Empower Texas; Tim Dunn is on the board of Texas Scorecard; Tim Dunn is a contributing author for Texas Scorecard. Tim Dunn is the one who wants to kill this bill because it would criminalize misleading campaign materials like the ones aimed at Dade Phelan when Patrick, Paxton, and their cronies were trying to get him primaried. The dirty money guys you mentioned above are the ones who funded the article you linked, and are the ones fighting against this bill.

You should realize you have this completely backwards. While Phelan is a Republican, he is the former Speaker of the House who Patrick and Paxton tried to get primaried. Phelan led the effort to impeach Ken Paxton, something he actually got the majority of Republicans in the house to support. Read the bill. This is related to the mountains of misleading campaign materials aimed at Phelan in the primary; much of which was funded by the $3 million Defend Texas Liberty PAC (largely funded by Tim Dunn) gave Dan Patrick ahead of the impeachment trial in the senate.

We’re shitting the bed but what’s going on with these refs is absurd.

That was only 8 seconds, btw.

Good point. And on related note it’s amazing to watch the once absurd plot of “Canadian Bacon” taking shape before us in real life.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Baconboy replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
They were both out-messaged and out-lied. In swing states Republicans hammered home the message that Kamala Harris supports taxpayer funded transgender surgery for prisoners and detained migrants. She also supported cutting funding for ICE. These are really easy points to communicate and like it or not these ideas are very unpopular with most Americans. Too many people in this thread are unable to come to terms with the fact that this should have been a landslide victory for democrats, but they shot themselves in the foot by continuing to vocally support unpopular fringe causes. I had a political science professor who always hammered home the idea that if you want to win an election you have to win over "Johnny Six-Pack". Johnny Six-Pack isn't going to research the Republicans lies, but he absolutely knows he doesn't want his taxes going towards transgender surgery for prisoners. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/09/politics/kfile-harris-pledged-support-in-2019-to-cut-ice-funding-and-provide-transgender-surgery-to-detained-migrants/index.html -
Well you’re in luck because sadly that’s what our state leaders seem to want too.

So what you're saying is they're "ChINOs"?
