    I would love to see a similar chart of the subjects Dotard talks about in his next speech.  There will be big circles for "makes random noises," "talks about the bad job that president Obama is doing," and "misidentifying the person who introduces him, one or more of his children, and at least one foreign leader."

    They drew in Sugarland, which is very diverse, and dilluted it down with Katy and just straight up rural areas. I think it cross 3 different counties. It's infuriating.

    Yep. They get elected because the gerrymander ensures the morons outvote the educated diverse people. 

    My Rep is not as bad - He actually support aid for Ukraine but didn't vote to impeach Trump for insurrection.  It's maddening and the worst part is I live in Travis County and I'm stuck with a guy that represents College Station.  Look at the Gerrymander on 10.  If I contact them they probably have a filter based on Zip Code to just ignore us. (Yes, there is a tiny sliver of green connecting the two sides.)

    I think they also split Williamson between 31 Georgetown and Round Rock 17.  If we were all together there would be another D from Texas.

    All they care about is making you live the way they want you to and feeding at the grift trough. 

    Playing christo-fascist games is the means to the end of feeding at the grift trough.

    It's a mixed bag. The judges are the biggest win. They are getting smoked.

    Some incs are fine. Some are going to runoffs. Some gonna lose. 

    I'm not ready to bail out yet. 

    What?  All the ones Paxton endorsed on Criminal appeals court are winning

    What if this is what Texas has always been?

    Ann Richards was once Governor.

    Let’s make it so.

    And yeah, in Travis county, I just checked a box selecting which primary I was voting in (being that the Monster Raving Looney party has no presence here, I voted in the Democratic primary).

    I'm in the Gerrymandered part of North Travis County and my Congressperson, State Rep, and State Senator are all R.

    And I'd bet anything just over one year ago they hadn't even thought about school vouchers.

    She gave off the parochial school mom vibe and wants a subsidy for her decision to private school.  I said we already have school choice, just don't pay for it with tax dollars.  and then I waled away.

    You're in Boerne, right? So Troxclair vs. "What Slaton did was not that bad"?

    Yes, I get the choice of Troxclair holding Abbotts water but voting to impeach Paxton vs a real shitstain. One of her supporters was at the polling place and waved a sign yelling vote for Ellen.  I said "sure but she needs to change her mind on vouchers because tax dollars should not go to private schools"  The supporter started an argument with me over the policy even though I said I was voting for her candidate.  SMH

    Actually, to expand on my previous answer, I think we're fucked if the Republican party gains control of ANYTHING at the federal level. Even if, say, Nikki Haley wins. Because they'll just pardon and then hand-deliver to Putin's lapdog everything he wants.

    Even if we fine him into the poor house now and throw him in jail, Republican victory means he gets back in business and out of jail.

    Maybe that's why I'm not worried about the cases being delayed. It's the election that matters.

    And it's the election, above all, that I'm bullish about. I don't WANT Haley to get the nomination; that gives the Republicans a chance. Trump, on the other hand, sinks the GOP. Permanently. They can't get rid of his strench any more. He's bankrupting them financially, morally, and politically.

    I'd feel bad about it if my politics hadn't slowly slid left over the past three decades.

    He's going to get the nomination but Haley staying in the race and getting 30-45% of the votes along the way will weigh on his ego.  The true weakness of a sociopathic narcissist personality disorder

  9. I want to vote on the R Primary but it is hard when you are weighing the Paxton supported candidates vs the Abbott supported ones.

    Paxton wants to get rid of anyone that supported impeachment. Abbott wants to get rid of anyone that is against his voucher scheme. Finding a candidate that was for impeachment and against vouchers means going to the Dem primary.  

    Is there a place to look this shit up instead of reading the crap that comes in the mailbox?

    Reminds me of a picture I once saw about a camping trip to Yellowstone with an old open top car that had rows of seats like that. For some reason I thought it was Teddy Roosevelt
