Colorado is making about 20 million a month in weed taxes. Texas has about 5x the population. Could help with reducing property taxes or funding schools…..but nah. We will just keep funding Colorado’s schools with our weed tourism. They have a fund that uses the excise tax money to renovate old schools or build new ones.

Know it's probably going to just find its way into the round file but just sent a message to the Governor's office urging him to Veto SB3 and send it back to the Lege to come up with some regulations rather than full ban on THC. Think I made some decent points that this is just handing an 8 billion dollar industry to the Cartel, showing contempt for small businesses by shutting them down with the stroke of a pen eliminating 50,000 jobs, and is going to push thousands of Texans back into the hands of opioids and other dangerous prescription drugs. Likely spitting in the wind but had to at least try...

I sent an email to Ted Cruz once. I was immediately added to so many far right email lists that the block button wouldn’t really work. Various mutations of email addresses sending propaganda 10x per day. Eventually abandoned the email account. So, have fun with that.

Well if using the contact page on an official state website like the Office of the Govenor gets me put on a ton of spam lists think I may get to lawyer up because that doesn't sound very legal...

We had a fund for schools as well once - the lottery.  At least that is how it was sold to voters 35+ years ago.

Not alone, but they give our native shitheels a big assist. The portion of the folks we take in fleeing pronouns and masks heavily outweighs the normie portion. 
 

Also, my state rep is from upstate New York.

Having met almost every local GOP activist in Montgomery County, I learned first-hand that  way too many Trumpkins hail from other states, and just couldn’t wait to get here and fuck shit up.

Nah native Texans are also shitty, stupid and selfish.  Go read Texas History.

Yet another example of what lefties don’t see because they don’t make a point to understand Texas Republicans:

Even the politically active R’s are sick of this shit and are begging  Democrats to be competitive and giving strategic pointers. 

“Their insanity may turn Texas blue after all.  All Democrats have to do is use Brian Harrison’s rhetoric against the R’s and talk about what people really want…property tax relief, public safety & safe schools & roads. And get rid of vouchers.”

For every Republican voter that sits out an election or even votes blue, there are enough transplant assholes to make up for them.  The crazier those fuckers get, the bigger the margin of victory.

Texas Democrats, as a political party, are retarded losers and their incompetence and hubris is how we got here. 
No offense to you, but I’d rather be a part of an opposition with skin in the game, and calling 30 years of losing and self-inflicted damage a “Republican problem”  tells me you don’t have any.

Cool. I think how we got here is that a bunch of “libertarians” voted for shitty republicans for several decades and now blame the Dems for not catering to them while they supported people like W. And then they post about it on every single topic.

Yeah, the social conservatism that is so "aTexan" sort of crept into a more traditional conservatism aided and accelerated by fuckstick carpetbaggers until it's all social/culture lunacy all the time.

However, those Texans, native or otherwise, that haven't come to their goddam senses yet are now fully complicit and blameworthy.

Exit polling in the last Senate race concluded a majority of native Texans voted for Beto. The last presidential election showed rural Hispanics shifted their support to turnip in numbers that could mean the majority of native Texans voted R. I haven’t seen, and not for lack of trying, a report definitively saying so, one way or another.

But, I too am represented in Washington by a carpetbagging coprophagist. Paxton and goeb are both carpetbagging grifters. While Abbott is believed to be  born in Wichita Falls, many people are saying his mother actually pushed him out in Oklahoma, but sucked enough ass in Wichita Falls to get his birthplace changed,

Wait- I’m a libertarian now? That’s rich. New here?

Whether it’s 2000 when I was at the TDP convention in Ft Worth knowing that the ticket was toast front top to bottom and watching them congratulate themselves for “keeping their powder dry” for the 2002 “dream ticket,” or physically ejecting out of state Clinton ringers from my precinct caucus in 2008, or seeing how they abandoned Chris Bell in a year when Perry was beatable, or later promoted Lupe Valdez as a viable candidate, or now, watching these losers work to avoid contested primaries and seeing how they discourage good candidates from running, I know what I’m talking about and come by my contempt honestly.
 

Republicans did not win Texas. Democrats lost it, period.

I actually like Allred but he’s a terrible statewide candidate. He has proven completely incapable of motivating the Democratic base to vote and doesn’t generate any excitement.

It’s about fucking time they passed something like this.  Now all the troubles of this state, dare I say the world will be solved.  Can’t wait for the Texas law saying you have to pray to Jesus before your food is served at a restaurant or you get arrested.

They should include a list of all the ways that Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick have broken them to hang next to them

Tell em how that would violate any law.

Hint: it wouldn’t. Not in the slightest. Make it an interactive learning exercise, just here to educate the children.

Unmet need for secular private schooling in Texas- approximately 10k per year tuition, maybe?

just be prepared for the state to close that loophole as soon as it gets their attention.

I was told this ban is all because our buddy Danny Goeb was late to the pot party and wound up with poor position in the thc market. So he’s going to burn it all down, then once the backlash happens he can bring it back with his own corporate friends. He will be a hero to those who forgot he tanked it and then also be much richer. The bearer of this message occupies a “Lobo-esque” (the cartels are coming after Ole Googly Eye, dontcha know!) position in my personal circle of friends, so take it as you will. But it has the air of plausibility around it.

I am getting ready to place a very large order before the Republicans once again pass a bill the majority of Texans are against.

Fucking assholes will not put it on the ballot because they know they will lose.

Same with vouchers and gambling.

I fucking hate Republicans and if you voted for one I hate your ass too.

While there are some who are behind another Allred run, I say the majority are gunshy of it at this point.  He burned a lot of bridges trying to play the bi-partisan game.  Beto has been rattling his sabre some.   We shall see.  I'd personally like to see Crockett take a swing at it.
