In the latest round of intra-Texas GOP drama, the Texas Tribune revealed Friday that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) plotted to get Gov. Greg Abbott (R) booted out of office.
That awkward moment when . . .
I found this amusing
Interestingly enough, though, there is a Rick Perry on the ballot ā but itās a guy named Ricky Lynn Perry who filed to have his name listed as āRick Perry,ā and his filing happened to be notorized by a supporter of one of Abbottās challengers.
Perry ultimately decided against joining the race.
Perry had bigger plans:
Rethug politics in Texas. Oops, donāt wanna step in that snake pit.
ETA. I guess heāll dance, if that is what thatā¤“ļø is, past it.

Woops
Whether or not Ricky Lynn Perry, like Rick Perry, isnāt ashamed to admit that heās a Christian and believes thereās something wrong with the country when gays can serve openly in the military but kids canāt openly celebrate Christmas, remains to be seen.
Wut?
Whatās wrong with the country is when people like the ersatz Perry present beliefs like his as a substitute for leadership.
So neither of the Rick Perrysā actual name is Rick Perry then. Former Governor James Richard āRickā Perry of āmy family hunting camp has the N-word in its nameā fame, and now Ricky Lynn āRickā Perry. This sounds like a knock-off of āThe Distinguished Gentlemanā (underrated political satire, IMHO) where Eddie Murphyās con artist character shortens his middle name to run for Congress to match the name of the former guy who recently died hoping no one will notice and vote for the name they know.
This isnāt too surprising. Despite Abbottās having Trumpās endorsement, heās not adored by Republicans in Texasāeven before his perceived mishandling of the pandemic two years ago and last yearās ice storm, Patrick and his ilk didnāt think Abbott was conservative enough. Thatās why Allen West thinks he has a shot. And Patrickās choice of Perry is an interesting one, as well: more opportunities for Perry to play Solitaire in the afternoons, if he were to win (the Texas governorship is the second-weakest one in the U.S.āthey just donāt have all that much to do), plus heād be a yes-man for Patrick and whoever Patrick might want to shiv.
Texas must be the state with by far the highest number of horses asses.
Way more horses asses than horses.
I know, been said so many times itās become background noise.
Fuck all of these miserable miscreants. Fuck āem all, everyone of them.
It takes two to be Beria and Malenkov, so why not Patrick n Perry.
When we thought the first shot in the 2022 Purity War had been fired?
When a father so loves his daughter that he had to do this to pay for her wedding. 
Republicans in disarray!
Hmm when you canāt hold an election because thereās a paper, special paper, shortage. Also not environmentally a good choice.
With Patrick possibly screwing up a bunch of GOP mail-in ballot requests too, it seems like heās the new pyrite-boy example of Foot-in-Mouth Republican.
