I have a long term commitment locally until summer of 2025. I'm going to look in earnest this fall about moving to D.C. or Minneapolis, maybe central coast California. This shit is too far and there's no signs of sanity returning to Texoma anytime soon.

Central Cal coast:  the Stache retirement plan.  I assume your savings are mountainous.  Second level humble brag.

Homestead Exemption change would be what I assume they are alluding to.

With Texas voters' approval of Proposition 4 on the Nov. 7 ballot, taxpayers' 2023 property tax bills, as outlined in Senate Bill (SB) 2, will be based on the value adjusted for: An increase in the residence homestead exemption for school districts from $40,000 to $100,000.

I would have thought that too, but he specifically said that wasnt the case:

HS exemptions are relatively minor given the appraisal…”

We are literally a year away from giving Texas teachers a $500 gift card that can only be used for art supplies or a handgun.

Because dude, handguns ARE art supplies.   There's no art greater than a blood spatter pattern.

Blessed be the firearms, for they are first among men.  First Rugerians, ch 5, verse 56.

Nevertheless, some residents in rural Hood County lost power. That included Hunter Sims, who lives a mile and a half from the plant and lost power for 9 hours, relying on a backup generator for his well. Sims was angered that he was without power while the mining operation continued unabated. Overall, he says his quality of life has worsened due to the facility’s noise pollution. “When I’m sitting in my living room, I can hear a loud humming,” he says. “You can’t really relax.”

Man, how the fuck are you supposed to live here when the Lt. Governor says completely off the wall shit like "Democrat deep state run by Barack Obama."

This isn't some fringe rep running in a primary in rural Texas. It's the damn Lieutenant Governor. Seriously? We're supposed to be an economic powerhouse and we're led by people talking about the Democrat deep state? Just seven years ago he would have been tar and feathered as being a batshit conspiracy theorist. Now it barely registers.

If Patrick is very publicly going all in on Qanon Deep State bullshit, then something has him scared and current Texas Republican talking points either aren’t working well, or even working against the Republicans.

Yeah, Bathroom Dan has always been weird, but he’s scared of something to push batshit Obama stuff.

Her lawyers had to negotiate with Paxton’s office to get a one-week extension to review the letter. Lowell ultimately declined to turn over patient information."

The only proper response would have been to send two brief letters, a couple of days apart.

"Fuck."

She had just dealt with an arsonist. I reckon she figured that, being in Georgia, Droop-Eye would have called in a favor from Clan Sporkfoot to come rolling down from Marge's district.

But yeah, this is Aggy-er than Aggy.

Your governor, on multiple occasions, has tweeted links the stories from the Gateway fucking Pundit. Not that you need me to tell you, but it's over. 

Dan probably thinks that he should get credit for claiming the batshit thought as his own, rather than just lazily posting conspiracy links. 

Forget the ideological differences...it's astounding how truly stupid these people are.

It's burned well over 1MM acres and has crossed state lines. I don't think he has a choice. And of course, as with everything he does, the political optics are the driver and the optics of refusing Federal aid would be pretty bad. Of course the Panhandle would still vote for him but still.

If we've decided that our "Texas spirit" is "borderline mentally retarded pathological lying racist misogynist"......yeah......count me the fuck out.

This was the "Texas spirit" I was raised with.  Amazing how we have turned it completely on its head:

Growing up in Texas, especially in small town Texas you hear and more importantly learn very early on in life that “A Man is Only as Good as His Word”.  

Truly fucking amazing that this is where we are.

I was being facetious. Abbot only accepts federal money when it helps rich people (landowners)

He has yet to accept Federal money to expand Medicaid because poor don’t donate to his campaign

Part of the 1M+ acres that have burned were on the Mesa Vista Ranch (Boone Pickens' old place) so he'll definitely accept federal money for that

Think back to high school. Now think of all those dumb motherfuckers (stoners, dumb fucking jocks, dipshit bitches, etc) who struggled to make Cs and lower grades. They make up half of population. The majority of those dipshits are Republican voters. 

2016 - 2024 United States is what happens when education fails, and those stupid people spread their idiocy via social media.

I hate to break it to you but things are not going to look any better next year even if Biden wins. The status quo is essentially the best possible outcome.

Even Fox News has to worry about what that woman was going to say next. 

I don't have an estimate but I bet a decent percent of the GOP would vote to take the right to vote from women. And other minorities as well.

Good to see a politician mentioning Yass's name, it should be brought up at every discussion about school vouchers, Greg Abbot is a billionaire Yankee's puppet

Quote

First, I want to thank my supporters, those who voted for me and those who supported me prayerfully, financially, and in so many other ways. It has been the greatest honor to serve this district.

The corruption that exists at the highest level of Texas state government would have made Governor “Pa” Ferguson blush.

Governor Greg Abbott has defiled the Office of Governor by creating and repeating blatant lies about me and my House colleagues, those who took a stand for our public schools. I stood by the Governor on all his legislative priorities but just one, school vouchers. For just one disagreement, and for a $6 million check from Jeff Yass, a Pennsylvanian TikTok investor, and voucher vendor, Abbott went scorched earth against rural Texas and the Representatives who did their jobs-representing their districts. 

My tenure in the Texas House included two general sessions, seven special sessions, redistricting, Covid, winter storm Uri, a Democrat quorum break, expulsion of a House member and the impeachment of Ken Paxton. It also includes a litany of conservative victories that made Texas safer, reigned in out-of-control government bureaucracy, lessened what had become a crushing tax burden on our families and businesses, and fostered economic growth.

I am not a good politician. I am just a Texas rancher who wanted to make a difference in my community. Who knew this simple mission would have resulted in three brutal campaigns?

Throughout my three campaigns, because of my unwillingness to be compliant with the two billionaire, “Christian” Nationalist, power brokers that run this state, I have been unmercifully slandered through the politics of unwarranted personal destruction on social media, radio, post mail, streaming sites, and cable television. 

In my first race the opposition was the Wilks, Tim Dunn, Empower Texans, and the entire enterprise of dozens of PACs and “non-profits” they financed. The race ended in a hard fought Covi-delayed runoff victory against Farris Wilks ‘son-in-law.

In my second race, my opposition was Wilks and Dunn, Empower Texans (rebranded to Defend Texas Liberty), and the Voucher Lobby, including the American Federation for Children and the School Freedom Fund (based in Virginia). In that race, we dealt with a runoff and an expensive, unnecessary recount.

In my third race the opposition was all the above, but now included a rebranded Defend Texas Liberty (Texans United for a Conservative Majority), vastly greater money from the Voucher Lobby, and Governor Greg Abbott. 

This time the millions of dollars spent spreading lies about my record and the non-stop false impugning of my integrity were just too much to overcome. The real losers in this race are:

1)Texas Public Schools; 

2) Rural Texas; and 

3) Representative Government.

This morning, I have no regrets. I believe in the words of Sam Houston, “Do right and risk the consequences.”

History will prove Ken Paxton is a corrupt, sophisticated criminal. History will prove vouchers are simply an expensive entitlement program for the wealthy and a get rich scheme for voucher vendors. History will prove Governor Greg Abbott is a liar.

History will prove that our current state government is the most corrupt ever and is “bought” by a few radical dominionist billionaires seeking to destroy public education, privatize our public schools and create a Theocracy that is both un-American and un-Texan.

May God Save Texas!

Speaking to Newsweek, Miller said: "This was a big night for us. It means that we are virtually guaranteed to see the Texas Independence Referendum Act filed in the next session of the Texas Legislature, putting Texans one step closer to a vote on TEXIT. It shows that we are winning the battle for the future of Texas."

There is a 0% chance that the n word is not spoken at that table. The woman is probably polite enough to whisper or even mouth the word, at least until the third drink hits.

i wonder if the Fox News now has a safe word that then the producers say to the reporters to abandon a live interview. In case the reporter is not realizing the danger.

When people are lemmings for team politics, the ruling party gets more bought and more corrupt.

 

https://www-dallasnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dallasnews.com/news/watchdog/2024/03/14/defeated-republican-calls-texas-state-government-the-most-corrupt-ever/?outputType=amp&amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1

After his stunning defeat in the recent Republican primary, State Rep. Glenn Rogers unloaded on the corruption of Texas government that reaches, he says, to “the highest level.”

Rogers, 68, wrote that he agrees with the statement by others that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is “a corrupt sophisticated criminal.”

He continued, “Our current state government is the most corrupt ever and is bought by a few radical billionaires seeking to destroy public education” and also “create a theocracy.”

 

Q: When you say “corruption at the highest level,” what do you mean?

Rogers: Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks are the two most powerful men in state politics. And they’ve created a compliant Senate for the most part. And they’re seeking to have a compliant House. The election results go a long way to a compliant House. That should be very alarming to Texans. Having a few billionaires have that much control over state government is not the Texas way or the American way. They finally spent enough money and told enough lies to defeat me.

 

Q: In your column, you wrote that current activities would make Gov. Pa Ferguson blush. Pa is considered Texas’ worst governor.

Rogers: It’s not the same corruption that occurred with Pa Ferguson. Now it’s more widespread. This is not targeted at Gov. Abbott. It’s targeted at the level of corruption that exists throughout the Texas state government right now — and with the way leaders, state officials and legislators are manipulated by Dunn and Wilks.

Q: You wrote that aside from privatizing public schools, the billionaires want to turn America into a theocracy.

Rogers: Lord knows we need God today with all the problems we have. But we don’t need these radical Christian nationalists’ beliefs that are really dangerous to democracy and religious freedom.

Q: You wrote that Paxton is a corrupt sophisticated criminal. You voted to impeach him.

Rogers: That’s a quote from State Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano. The House was acting as a grand jury. There was compelling evidence that this needed to be moved to the Senate for trial.
