Well on the bright side if Gov. Pritzker wants to pull an Abbott and have Illinois Guard troops monitor "invading forces" like Abbott did during Jade Helm in 2015 he won't have to send anyone who can move that quickly...

Welp you know Anitfa will be able to outrun these dudes. Damn. I guess their leader didn't go to "Heggy-baby's" big meeting about fitness and standards.

That pic is great. Looks like cosplayers

After unloading from that truck, they went to the first fast food place they encountered and all ordered a liter of cola.

He's gotten another stay.  There was actually a surprising story on NPR (KERA) yesterday about multiple Texas conservatives getting on Ken Paxton directly about this.  It was nice to hear some people say "as supporters of the death penalty, it's our obligation to make absolutely sure it's only applied when 100% justified."

Quote

Texas’ highest criminal court on Thursday blocked Robert Roberson’s execution a week before it was set to take place, sending his case back to trial court.

Roberson was convicted of capital murder in 2003 for the death of his two-year-old daughter Nikki, who was diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome. He has maintained his innocence over more than 20 years on death row, with his attorneys arguing that the science behind Nikki’s shaken baby diagnosis no longer held up. He was scheduled to be executed on Oct. 16.

After previously denying his recent appeals, largely on procedural grounds, the all-Republican Court of Criminal Appeals granted Roberson’s request for a stay of execution under Texas’ groundbreaking 2013 junk science law, which provides for a second look when the science driving a conviction has since been debunked. The law has never been successfully used to secure a new trial for a death row inmate, though Roberson could be the first if the trial court in Anderson County finds that the evidence warrants one.

In its order, the Court of Criminal Appeals cited its decision last year to overturn a shaken baby conviction out of Dallas based on the evolving medical research of the diagnosis.

The only problem is they aren’t doing it out of the kindness of their heart, but because these kinds of cases can lead to the end of the death penalty.

Oh, I don’t think there’s any argument at this point that Oklahoma is better-led than Texas. And Oklahoma is a fucking clown show.

Greg Abbott is sending the Texas National Guard to blue states to help capture the migrants he illegally bussed to those states. He's a twisted piece of shit 

Is it too much to ask that he gets trucked and more broken by a 350 lb tackle crushing his crippled as while he's scuming up the Texas sidelines?

Paxton Files Lawsuit Against Man Allegedly Trying to Take Over Loving County

MENTONE, TX — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Malcolm Tanner, an Indiana resident accused of leading an effort to “take over” Loving County, one of the least populated but wealthiest counties in Texas.

Paxton announced Monday on The Walton & Johnson Show that his office is pursuing legal action against Tanner, who he said is using deceptive tactics to lure outsiders to Loving County under the promise of free housing and a $5,000 monthly stipend. Tanner leads a group called the “Melanated People of Power.”

“Indiana resident Malcolm Tanner has no right to try and take over Loving County with illegal schemes that endanger real Texans,” Paxton said in a statement. He described Tanner’s efforts as a “fraudulent plot” to influence elections and personally profit.

The attorney general’s office is also seeking a temporary restraining order against Tanner for alleged violations of Texas public health and safety codes.

According to state investigators, Tanner has been recruiting individuals from across the U.S. — including Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina — to relocate to Mentone, the only town in Loving County, with offers of free homes and stipends. Public records show Tanner purchased two five-acre parcels of land in the area earlier this year.

Like a 20 piece band with a horn section, back up singers, male and female lead singers, keyboards, etc.

Yep.  The backup singers are gorgeous babes with like 2-foot tall afros, wearing electric yellow bikini tops.  The bass line alone makes your ears hurt, but in a good way.

Godammit, now I'm gonna have to play some Funky Meters when I get home tonight. 

One of the loudest, most free-form shows I ever saw.  Saw em at Liberty Lunch back in the day.

I would say we were probably at the same show, but they played LL fairly frequently for a while there.

What like less than 10% of public university operating expenses are funded by state revenue? How about they have less than 10% of the power and stay in their lane.
