Discussion: Texas Lt. Guv Calls For Schools To Ignore Obama Trans Student Policy

And that whole thing about treason and sedition, let’s ignore those laws also. And fraud, that one can go, too.

The more that Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick raises his public profile, the more I imagine Dan Patrick the sportscaster must be looking into a name change.

Patrick was also heard to muse “Hey, whatever happened to all the shoeshine boys?!”

The Lt. Governor also advised the school districts that he would immediately call for the state legislature to pass a $10 billion tax increase to replace the Title IX funds they would lose by following his demand for sexual discrimination. Bigotry is not free but as true patriots we must be willing to pay the cost of freedumb.

He’s an idiot and a demagogue, but he has a right to be. The federal guidance was just that–an opinion on the law, not a binding interpretation. That’s what I believe to be the flaw at the heart of the suit that states have brought over the guidance: until some state or local government actually loses, or at least is threatened directly with losing federal funds, there is no case or controversy for the state to sue about. By the same token, school districts and states are free to ignore the guidance and risk loss of federal funds should the federal government choose to take that route.

I REALLY dislike these little FKs down in Texas…that being said, can we stop sending them money for education if they refuse to obey federal law?

When someone told him there were new federal guidance policies, he thought they said “federal guy-dance policies,” so he flipped his lid.

I’m really beginning to think there’s more to this than just trying to excite the GOP/TeaParty base. Why the obsession with public toilets. What is it about where someone goes to pee that causes so much anxiety in these folks. Of all the issues facing the states of Texas, NC, Tenn etc. why toilets and gay marriage? I think a lot of this might be due to that fact that folks like the Texas Lt. Gov. have something in their past that they are ashamed of and this is his attempt to get right with baby Jesus. Could it be that Mr. Patrick has a Denny Hastert problem in his past?

Thought experiment: Caitlyn Jenner is visiting a Texas school to give a speech about whatever.

Which restroom does the Lt. Gov. prefer her to use? Bruce Jenner’s restroom, or Caitlyn’s?

Imagine watching and listening to a lying contest between these two.

I think Donald “There is no drought in California” Trump would give them a run for their money.

By the time I finish my song: :notes:

Lyndon Johnson.
Sam Rayburn.
Bob Strauss.
Barbara Jordan.
Henry Gonzalez.
Ann Richards.
Dan Patrick.

(Hint: Think “Towering Public Servant” vs. “Empty Suit”.)

It’s not clear what power, if any, Patrick thinks he has over local school policies as lieutenant governor.

This is what happens when a former sportscaster/ AMH8 radio host gets elected to office. They’ve no clue.

I’m sensing (or it may be just wishful thinking) that many of us are just starting to ignore Patrick. He is showing his limitations beyond being a talk radio host. Most of the big school districts (those with budget and power) will just tell him to stay out of their business. At least here in San Antonio, we have the House Speaker on our side to push back.

Is it just me, or does this guy look gender-abiguous?

Proof positive of the power of prayer, save for a slight timing difference. Perry’s success was not lost on their neighbor to the north which is confidently proceeding on the knowledge that "If we take care of the morality, God will take care of the economy.”

Trump, too with his frequent little thumb/index finger gestures.
