"Gay hoopla" sounds like something a bunch of old fart white Republicans rant about on the regular.  "The homogays, what with all their gay hoopla, gaying around everywhere...it's just not right!"

Paxton’s and Abbott’s separate vendettas against house republicans may backfire bigly. I have heard from a source I trust that there is a broad and growing consensus amongst those who were in safe seats and those who survived primary challenges to exact revenge, and they have significant monetary backing from some big name traditional (non loony billionaire) big business republicans 

 

I am cautiously optimistic

Phelan is confident enough in keeping the speakership to comment publicly, meaning he has all the dems plus enough republicans to get a majority of votes. Which means they can do some damage if they want and stay together 
 

And business interests are really sick of this christofascist nonsense and these nutcases putting their money at real risk.

like I said cautious optimism

I would like to enter evidence that Texas is a failed state based on Ted Cruz's political ads I have been seeing today during the football games.  Nothing about immigration, the economy, making people's lives better.  All it talks about is Allred voted for boys to compete against girls in sports and Allred voted to allow boys in girls bathrooms.  There are way too many Texans that listen to this kind of ad and that is the clearest sign to me that Texas is a failed state from the government to the people living here.

I don’t think that’s anything exceptional about Texas (or the US, for that matter-that kind of shit is getting play in campaigns across the western world).  
 

Frankly, I’d rather Cruz be running those ads than one promising a tax cut under a Trump presidency more appealing to the “hold your nose and vote R” voter.

This is almost 40 year old Liberty County gossip, but top center’s Dad was rumored to have left his family for a gay relationship (back then the whispers would have added “in Houston no less!”, as it was commonly presumed Houston was a place of permissive immorality).

Tribune posted last week that the GOP had committed millions in ads against Dems in Texas focusing exclusively on LGBTQ+ stuff

I’m somewhat optimistic as well and I’ve heard similar stuff from various people, including a neighbor who is a staffer for a legislator - there’s some serious anger at Abbott over the school funding and voucher nonsense, among other things, especially from the rurals, and a lot of these guys do not like Paxton and Abbott trying to fuck them or their friends over like they’ve been doing.  And throw Patrick in the mix as well - lot of anger at him as well for a lot of reasons.

There are plenty of non-crazy big-business Republicans who don’t like the shitshow this state is becoming and Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick have all forgotten that even if these guys are only in session every two years and for only part of the year, they don’t take kindly to being threatened, and they damned sure do not like to be threatened with being primaried because they didn’t suck up to Hot Wheels or do exactly what Paxton said.

Especially when a lot of this shit is being done to appease only a handful of people (one of whom is in fucking Pennsylvania) or because they are trying to be noticed by Trump.

January is going to be interesting.

Just so everyone knows what’s going on. Corey DeAngelis pictured above is in a film where the plot is to to race, against other men in the room, to ejaculate from jerking himself off. This movie did not do well at the box office, and he didn’t make too many more.

Corey was recently a lobbyist who goes state to state, using all kinds of methods to weaken public schools by creating favorable taxation, funding and rules for charter schools. One of those methods is using gay and trans panic.

Now I don’t think he would have one of these races in a public school with underage children, but Corey should not be trusted in a restroom with your child. Not because he’s gay, but because he is a Republican. They have proven time and time again that if they aren’t grooming your underage daughter, they are trying to finger pop your boy’s asshole.

More than a fair number of GOP voters are mad that some gay/trans agenda is overwhelming them. Of course they can never point to a personal examples other than the 1-in-a-million school athlete from a Fox News story or bathrooms. They've been told it's a problem so therefore it becomes a priority for them.

The hearings will) expose how these programs and their curriculum are damaging and not aligned with state workforce demands

If Patrick already knows the outcome, why does he need to form a subcommittee?

Because we don’t have government, we have theater. Which actually makes sense, when you realize that 90% of the GQP lege is self-loathing closeted gay men.

14-6 at halftime, and my irritation has led me to this thread, because I need to proclaim that there is no thread I hate more than this one.

In order for Texas to realize its full potential, much work must be done in black and brown communities to educate non voters. Spoke with my sister yesterday after her routine visit to the doctor. She had this exchange with a young Latina RN who graduated from Angelo State:

Sister: isn’t it wonderful to see Jimmy Carter celebrate his 100th birthday?
Nurse: Who is Jimmy Carter?  
Sister: He’s the former POTUS

Nurse: I’m not into politics, although my brother is trying to teach me more about it.

I’ve had similar dispiriting conversations with young (and old) black people when canvassing neighborhoods for votes.

We have many years of Texas high school students who were only taught to pass the TAKS and then STAARS tests. They don’t know anything about Carter. The answer to any question about the Carter administration is Iran Hostage crisis but I doubt Carter warrants more than a couple of paragraphs in a history textbook.

Overall Carter is a relatively minor presidency surrounded by more memorable people and events. He had JFK, LBJ, Vietnam and Nixon before him and Reagan and the Cold War ending afterwards. Yes, I ignored Ford. General history will pretty much ignore Carter too.

a deeper dive into history would be kinder to Carter especially in an ideal of selfless post presidencies.

My niece got her nursing degree and then a doctorate in physical therapy.

She once said the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard a person say. She asked me if there was a bridge to Hawaii. You know, because it doesn’t look that far from California on a globe.

Speechless.

It was too depressing to add she said she heard of George Bush but didn’t mention Obama. These grown people know nothing about the world they’re living in.

Geospatial awareness and representation is not one of their strengths. It's ok, we are all different. My wife cannot navigate anywhere on the planet without GPS. 

But if it told her there was a bridge to hawaii should would probably drive off it.

Texas state universities are supposed to require six hours of US history covering colonial times to roughly the present.

Wtf, Angelo State.

Don't mean to be Debbie Downer on an awesome page, but Abbott is probably the only person that can save an autistic guy who was failed by the hospital/doctors that he took his daughter to.

https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-lawmakers-urge-mercy-for-autistic-man-set-to-be-executed-in-childs-death/

Knowing Abbott, he'll let the guy die, even though Republicans and Democrats both believe he needs to grant him clemency.
