Just called Pat Curry’s office.  I’d recommend you all harass them too.  Fucking insanity 

Here’s the number - 512-463-0135.  They have some kid answering the phone.  He was cordial, but I want to shame him for working for a dickhead

Great idea. Maybe if enough people call their elected leaders and voice their outrage it’ll have absolutely no impact whatsoever.

I don’t disagree, but it made me feel better for all of 1 minute and for the minute it took me to type my post haha.   These people answering the phones deserve to hate their jobs at least…

Kinda surprised you got an answer right away on the phone, have heard some rather astonishing stories of how far the phone skills of the fresh meat Gen Z new capital staffers have fallen...

I harangued the staff of my State Rep, my State Senator, and my U.S. Rep late Friday afternoon. It felt so good to unload on them, I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it a weekly thing to call just before 5 pm while they're getting ready to leave the office for the weekend.

For all the fuckupedness Texas politicians demonstrate, I have an equal disdain for New York and South Carolina idoit politicos. The three states have produced some of the most craven windbags in the history of this nation. A pox on all of them.

The lege is really going after the furries and the anime dorks (probably quite a bit of overlap in that Venn diagram) this session.

The bill transfers all employees and current appropriations and property to other agencies.  It doesn't save a nickel.

The real reason here. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/texas-lawmaker-deer-breeder-abolish-tpwd/

All in the name of protecting deer breeders, like himself.

Piece of shit.

 

Can't edit.  Some things I learned.  Native deer are legally publicly owned, regardless of the "living" or "breeding" conditions.  TPWD thus regulates even private herds as game animals.  This can be unpleasant and expensive for deer breeders, especially if some mad cow crops up.  TPWD can order destruction of the herd.

Curry wants to have "private" deer herds that are (un)regulated as livestock.

That's the whole reason for this.

It always boils down to corruption in some form or fashion. If sanity is ever going to prevail, "corruption, corruption, corruption" has to be the leading message to the masses...on repeat and ad nauseum. There's nothing ideological about it, and everyone "gets it" on a gut level, so the head-in-the-sand independents, low-information voters, and the conscientious conservative crowds could, theoretically, eventually comprehend what the fuck is going on if hammered home consistently and constantly.

It will only work if this admin causes them pain - in meaningful numbers.  And that may actually be happening.  Hammering anyone by saying shit does jack shit.

Oh yeah, of course, they've got to feel pain, and I'm all for that. That's a given which should go without saying. But I'm also suggesting we "shape the battlefield" or "condition them" so they're more amenable to the idea when each of them gets burned. And it will. And God help them when it does. Repeating the word "corruption" a) is fucking true, b) has no ideology, c) plants the idea, and d) will be fertile fucking ground. Even the non-evil numbskulls of the bunch will get it. Shit, the idea that everything is fucking corrupt is what actually brought down the Iron Curtain.

Why in the flying fuck would this state need to breed deer? Every hill country neighborhood is overrun with scrawny malnourished deer scrambling for water and food.

To put it succinctly since I'm derailing the thread: money.

Less succinctly, the way I understand it has to do with a messy convergence of private property rights, high vs. low fencing, canned hunts on large tracts of private land (where one can introduce those bred deer), and a general trend towards serfdom in rural areas wherein a few wealthy landowners (either individuals or corporate) own swaths of land and the remaining smaller outfits exist to provide services (plumbing, HVAC, etc). If one essentially creates a barrier wherein wildlife cannot escape, then it's been argued that the situation resembles the sheriff of Nottingham and the monarchy wherein the public no longer can access 'their' deer and it is the possessive 'their' that is the sticking point. Wild life as was mentioned were considered as belonging to the state, but some landowners having gone to the trouble of feeding them and whatnot, considered them 'theirs.' Thus when enterprising folks began breeding deer, it introduced a whole 'nother level of complications. Add CWD to the mix and the usual corrupt nature of Texas politics and here we are.

(I didn't even get into the whole poaching and/or setting up blinds near fence lines type behaviors. I don't have a dog nor deer in this hunt, just things I've observed and if I'm off base, feel free to chime in)

It is about corruption. According to FOX voters, Biden had the most corrupt administration ever, after Clinton and Obama.

Among the less braindead, we have bothsiders who believe both sides are corrupt and that money rules politics, which it does. Nevermind that democrats are the only party that wants to do something about it.

That story has a common thing I've noticed among conservatives - he came in with a notion that they were serving tons of children but has ZERO evidence to back it aside from his """sincerely held belief""". So much of their horse shit is backed by belief and not reality or evidence. They're so goddamn vulnerable to disinformation so long as it fits their worldview, it's maddening

Don't forget to watch Texas "DOGE" today, 1030am house.texas.gov/videos

Clickable Live button will show up in the DOGE row at 1030

 

Not to be confused with the Sunset Commission or DIR, despite clearly duplicating the purpose of both existing functions

Johnny:  Teacher, what does "adultery" mean in the seventh commandment?

Texas Public School Teacher:  Well Johnny, adultery is what President Trump did when he raw dogged a porn star's worn out vagina with his mushroom dick while Melania was home taking care of little Barron.  It's also what Ken Paxton does with his mistress because his wife Angela doesn't want to stick a finger in his butthole when she's sucking him off.   

Johnny: [insert WTF gif here]

Note to self:  Look for substitute teaching gigs.

Hell, they should add a picture of Trump winking next to each of the commandments. He's probably hit for the cycle.

Gov. Greg Abbott praised President Donald Trump’s efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday, waving away concerns that the move would create uncertainty for funding and civil rights protections in public education.

Lost in the public voucher debate, Abbott has kept special education underfunded across the State for a decade now, despite having the "surplus" to fix the funding gap. Department of Education was monitoring the State for this issue.

To be fair, the underfunding I believe started during Perry's term, where they declared that Texas Teachers are so amazing and Texans must have a superior breeding stock that we have ~50% fewer cases of LDs.    The erosion of the DOE is the removal of guardrails which will allow the school systems to no longer even try for a minimal educational component and services for students with special educational needs.    And as always the poors and middle class will get fucked over the most, the kids with behavioral issues will be disruptors in class or booted out only to have a future as an inmate in our private for-profit prisons.  

This is America.

Also worth noting that with the federal support for segregation (starting with contractors - for now), this will finally open us up to the opportunity to put them back in their place.
