The Texas Republican primary runoff ran for the open Texas Railroad Commissioner position was too close to call as of Wednesday morning, with extremist candidate Bo French leading the incumbent by less than 15,000 votes, according to the Associated Press’ tally. Whoever wins will face Democratic nominee Jon Rosenthal and Libertarian candidate Arthur DiBianca in…

Reports say the crazy Bo French took it.
And Ken Paxton is the nominee for the Republican candidate for the Senate race in Texas.
Corruption and crazy still roll.

If the GQP put up the very worst candidates, as they seem to have done here, the Dems have nothing to lose by going all out to discredit these miscreants. This is the Dems’ election to lose.

Phew! Thanks to @davidn I avoided the responsibility of being first. But was otherwise gainfully engaged in getting the hell out of the hospital after a knee replacement yesterday.

All the best on healing up on that. My friends say to be sure to do the physical therapy.

The only job requirement to be a republican politician is to be an racist and unqualified mediocre white guy with no scruples.
Preferred canidades will have a history of sexual assault, domestic abuse, treason, and/or fraud.

Thanks. Rigorous devotion to the PT is definitely the path to success. And thanks for breaking the silence! Everyone must have had a great weekend while the Pubs were covering themselves in glory. (Looks like I’m missing a day there - which started at 0400. )

Or the first couple looking to pay with chickens. Another wackaloon GOOPER idea, though as I recall she didn’t get too far. It’s a crowded field.

Not to say the problem they’re talking about isn’t real. One of the (multiple) things broken in our current health care system is that so much of it is paid on a per-procedure basis. The more procedures you perform, the more money you get. The skewed incentives that creates are pretty obvious. Also, it financially disincentivizes the very kinds of doctors that we need a lot of: the family practice, general practice kind of “just plain old doc” doctors. Specialists are where the money is.
It’s just that the proposed solution is not just wrong, but catastrophic. It would incentivize doctors to treat only patients with a good chance of recovery.

enough pressure to cause geysers of wastewater to erupt from the Texas soil.
What a lovely state! And a guy named French too. Worried about Islamification, he is. Yes, Republican politicians from Texas need to rule over all of us more. We are so ignorant and selfish.

Ken Paxton is not a bad candidate for Texas, indictments, scandals , warts and all, he has been elected Attorney General 3 times. Why? Because he delivers on what Texans care, guns for everybody, harassing the immigrants and owning the libs.
No doubt French is going to deliver on those as well.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday that foreigners in the U.S. who want a green card will need to leave and apply in their home country, barring some unspecified exceptions.
The announcement, which potentially affects hundreds of thousands of green card applicants a year, was the latest immigration policy unveiled by Trump’s Republican administration to stun and confound lawyers, advocates and immigrants. It’s also part of a pivot by the administration to target legal pathways to immigration, after focusing since last year mostly on migrants in the U.S. illegally.
My company spent a lot of time yesterday on the phone with our immigration attorneys We have several very qualified employees who have applied for green cards and at least one whose wife might be impacted by this ruling. The process is long and arduous and this makes it even worse. Stephen Miller strikes again.

But if Texas is fed up with these people, the GQP has written its own obit for the midterms.
Stay tuned.

There is no evidence that Texas is fed up with those people. One thing is for sure, Texas is not going to vote for a vegan.

Not a problem since there isn’t one on the ballot, though you wouldn’t know it by listening to the lies dribbling out of Paxton’s pie hole. The anti-vegans are already in his fetid corner so no loss, but Texas is still sliding left; an energized Hispanic vote for Dems could send Paxton home to lick his wounds.
