Abbott being Abbott

It was a hard copy mailer.  Be happy I don't know how to post pics to this site, I'd be even more annoying.

I don't know how to do facebook, but best I can do.  Recent TCRP dinner.  Nice pic, just found it odd to put on a mailout about working with the current leadership on school funding reform.  https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=670005428280196&set=pcb.670007624946643      Briscoe Cain really wanted to be in the photo, but first rule of political mailers...you don't put a guy two feet shorter than the woman he's standing next to in print.

But then the next photo was the Battleship Texas and her escorts

This is how Texas legislators want to spend their summer

https://www.kxan.com/news/texas-politics/gov-greg-abbott-announces-second-special-session-to-focus-on-property-tax-plan/

Quote

On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Special Session No. 2, calling lawmakers back to the Texas Capitol “to provide lasting property tax cuts for Texans,” according to a press release.

The special session begins at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The Texas House and Senate approved separate property tax plans but didn’t come to an agreement during the first special session.

Yes Greg, keep on calling special sessions until you get what you want.

“Unless and until the House and Senate agree on a different proposal to provide property tax cuts, I will continue to call for lasting property tax cuts through rate reductions and working toward eliminating the school property tax in Texas. Special sessions will continue to focus on only property tax cuts until property tax cut legislation reaches my desk,” Abbott wrote in the release.

Wait, aren't schools pretty much 100% funded by property taxes?  Forgive me for not paying attention to what he's been saying but how is this

working toward eliminating the school property tax in Texas

anything but an admission that he's trying to kill public schools?  Money's gotta come from somewhere if we're going to have schools and no school property tax. What's his alternative?

He doesn't have one.  Which is why he's somehow managed to make Dan Patrick appear to be reasonable in this fight.  No one wants it, but he keeps pushing for it.  He's going to piss off most of his own party over this.

This.  What Abbott is demanding has pretty much everyone scratching their heads.  He's said some magic words about the revenue coming from other sources, but he hasn't backed it up with anything but magical thinking.  It actually is kinda puzzling.  When your right-wing loony ideas even have DAN FUCKING PATRICK scratching his head and asking "WTF?", you've gone beyond off the deep end.

He is pissing off his party.  They have better things to be doing with their summers (and better places to be).  Why he's chosen this hill to die on is very strange, because there are better ones in terms of making a name on the national stage.  He so desperately wants to get noticed, but Republicans outside of Texas are going to look at this stuff and be confused as fuck.

It's all about the W.  Abbott is desperate to get a W.

FitLump is growing hideously. I tend to think of her as a classless organism in the most de-humanizing way possible. 

Foxy Troxy hasn’t aged well. All of those girls are meh at best and the 3 on the left are absolute dogs.

It’s amazing how truly dysfunctional the Republican Party is in Texas when trying to actually govern as compared to hurting people they don’t like. Everyone wants some version of property tax reform including homeowners, businesses, renters, etc. Everyone agrees that reform is needed and Texas has a massive surplus to spend. If Abbott, Phelan and Patrick weren’t crazy, they would get in a room and meet in the middle giving everyone a taste of what they want and no one would get everything.

It’s actually not complicated but the individual personalities have created an atmosphere where the various factions within the Texas Republican Party can’t negotiate with each other anymore.

Because the only platform of the GQP is “be batshit crazy and mean.” That’s fundamentally incompatible with “governing.” And the platform will ultimately win out.

And apparently they convened or whatever today after each chamber voted on the plans they had previously voted on, which means nothing happened, and Abbott is just going to get angrier, because that's what small men do when people won't do what they tell them to.

Maybe one of his aides will take him aside and explain to him that the legislature is a branch of the government, and he can't just tell them what to do.  Just kidding, his aides don't give a fuck either way and he wouldn't listen either.

So is she going to run for Governor or Senator?

I’m talking about hideous physical growth. Like girth. Like Huckabee Sanders. So I guess governor?

Is the original titty pic still around here somewhere?   I wouldn't mind a stroll down mammary lane.

Lance Armstrong stuck his dick in that. Remember that.

Armstrong and FitLump?  2 terrible people. Just because he stuck his dick in a skinnier version of that wildebeest doesn’t make her more attractive. She has no redeemable qualities.

Where is it again where this whole story is memorialized?

FitLump has grossed me out since Day 1. My post was more of a commentary on how sad it was that Lance, albeit a massive POS in his own right, decided he needed to fuck THAT.

Thank you Greg Abbott, this shining example of impotence in the form of large orange balls that won't do shit is exactly what we need to be spending taxpayer money on.

He is so fucking proud of this.

It's a good thing that nobody will swim under them.  Or try to go over them.

Although, since we're Texas, I'm sure it's going to kill a bunch of people.
