There are two weeks left in the Texas legislature’s biennial legislative session, and a raft of hard-right bills stand to get passed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) desk.
Q: Why do all the trees in Oklahoma lean south?
A: Texas Sucks
Don’t you just love the cowboy cosplay?
You don’t wanna hear the toothbrush joke.
Republicans in Texas are certainly close to passing a law dissolving local government authority from all cities and counties larger than El Paso. Then they will give the state legislature the authority to govern the cities.
The state’s famously popular high school athletics departments — football most notably among them — have mobilized against the proposal, recognizing that it could lead to a drop in attendance, and a drop in funding for public education. It’s led to groups of coaches who otherwise vote Republican but oppose the measure.
No ifs about it, voucher programs are all about defunding public school systems.
The only surprise is that it took this long for them to realize the impact it would have on their Friday Night Lights culture.
Yeah, they really aren’t very bright, are they?
That goes to the second aim of the session’s immigration lawmaking: trying to get a test case before the Supreme Court which might upend national immigration law, granting Texas the authority to enforce the border itself.

The blue Texans deserve better!
How are cowboy hats like hemorrhoids?
Eventually every asshole gets one.

Not a single woman in that photo.

“For more than five years, as cities stepped outside their jurisdiction, the pandemic pumped the brakes on our economy, and uncertainty plagued the business environment, our small business owners have done their best to keep their doors open, take care of their employees, and serve their customers,” NFIB state director Annie Spilman said in a statement.
Executive Branch Republicans in Texas were consistently behind the curve on public health preventative measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. County Judges and County Commissioners in Harris, Travis, Dallas and El Paso counties et.al. were out in front. A Republican incumbent County Commissioner in Harris County got beat last November after winning in November 2018. The rural population in Texas is shrinking and GOPs in Texas have to get more extreme at the state level to hold on to power.
I refer to them as porta potties. Turn 'um upside down and the wearer can increase his IQ.

These MF-ers are bound and determined to flip this state as fast as possible.
When I look at all those men sitting around the table in their cowboy hats I think of how much I loved mine when I was 6. I also had a Fanner 50 cap gun which was the last “gun” I ever owned.
