We are two polls and a tweet away from the idiot hordes refusing to be tested as a sign of support for him. You know that he’s also asking for ways to actually punish states for testing–an EO, a ban on funding for highways if people access them to get tested, demonstrations outside of facilities that provide testing…

Sadly and absurdly, even if he is trying to lose in November by doing the most outrageous and horrible things, his die-hard supporters will still vote for him.

But they’ll do it none the less, and they’ll be quite proud about it.

As a native Houstonian, I’m really proud of the world class medical center. And Houston as a ‘blue city’ has done a fair job at pushing back.

But this pisses me off. The Texas Children’s Hospital is admitting adults. Cause the regular hospitals are backing up.

I did say rankest cess pool to be found. They can visit the exquisite scent of their dear leader. Like flies to dog scat.

Texas Children’s Medical Center here in Dallas has had to turn about half it’s capacity over to adults with COVID.

Perhaps in Wacko, Texas, or East Texas, but not in Dallas. The nice white church going middle class ladies of the Dallas, North of Houston, North of San Antonio, and Austin & Hill Country SUBUARBS/EXURBS have been pulling the R lever for years.

People have been jailed for life or taken to the gallows for similar crimes. It’s just that we don’t have experience with a chief executive of a liberal democracy doing anything like this. We never thought to make it a crime.

Yeah, it used to be purplish - at the least. Think of Ann Richards. But fucking Tom Delay with his mid census redistricting gerrymandered us into where we are today. Most non - Texans don’t know that.

I didn’t think I could be more sickened by the federal response. Guess I was wrong.

Well, assuming that we didn’t do that just to cover up that we took him alive to a secret location where we’ve had people hanging out with him and dragging every last bit of information out of him that we can.

When it comes to our Constitution’s checks and balances system, Mitch is only interested in the “checks” part.
