Something to remember about politics here in Texas, the true power is the Lt Governor and then the Speaker of the House. They decide which bills come to the floor for a vote and set the agenda. The Governor is just a nominal office, he can sign bills on his desk or not but has no control over what comes his way. So this dipshit is the true power here and all too typical of Texas politicians. I live in Austin and have to put up with it firsthand.

Mr. Patrick, the only things you delegitimize with that talk is yourself and your party.

It’s time to roll the R’s. Vote.

Dude says this on the day Texas surpassed 2016’s record turnout, with still one early voting day left… plus… you know actual election day.

Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report said on Colbert last night that a sitting President’s final approval rating almost always tracks his vote percentage in the general. In my state of Florida Trump’s approval rating is 47% which seems to be tracking the latest Florida state polling data.

Don’t know why anyone listens to this nutjob. His days are numbered.

Has the fat motherfucker resigned or dropped dead?

This is extremely dangerous rhetoric. This is laying the groundwork for the crazies to lash out when the result doesn’t go their way, The plot against Gov. Whitmer and the killing of protestors in Kenosha were not an aberration. They were just ahead of the curve. When they lose Texas, all of the preppers and militias will march around with their toy soldier outfits on and their guns with the safeties off. Somebody will die.

“We’re gonna use COVID as an excuse to steal the election, and that’s what they’re trying to do everywhere,”

True that. Did Abbott ream him afterwards for being too truthful about the Republican strategy?

one less asshole to invite to the table to discuss matters that concern reality
