Like Rottenhouse, this walking shitpile will make bank on the wingnut welfare circuit and claim that he was the real victim.

Like our lovely Kyle, he will eventually find himself unemployable outside his precious little bubble.

None of these assholes has the wherewithal to rise to the coveted heights of the winghutosphere where their outrageous behavior is more than another fifteen minutes of fame, at most.

On a similar theme…NYT’s deep dive on how we got the point where settlers can murder Palestinians with impunity.

I hate it when they make me wish there is some truth to that Judeo- Christian nonsense so I could gleefully imagine these motherfuckers burning in hell over that " Thou shalt not kill" thing.

TBF, that's probably the very same reason why most believers believe. It's really hard to live with a reality the good are punished as evil prospers, and there is no ultimate justice to be had.

I'm in the reddest part of a deeply red state and I'm always impressed with how they hate each other even more than they hate us. They feel that 10% tithe buys them a ringside, season pass to the Lake of Fire and they can hardly wait!

As a social Darwinist, I see no need to support White cripples.

Abbott is scum, just like 99% of the Rethug party.

Ta, Robyn. I read this story at work while I was eating lunch. It made me sick.

Abbott also whined about not being able to kill migrants crossing the border.

Trump, Abbott, even Alito, they're all the same. They have no respect for the rule of law, or for our Constitution.

For crying out loud, please vote blue, in every single race.

Vote these psychopaths out.

I broke the rules by just thinking about the appropriate comment.

It is not just Greg, it apparently is much of Texas.

As many have said just this evening on the news -- this is not a Texas problem.

This is an American problem.

In a questionable tribute to Roger Corman, Texas makes Death Race 2000 a reality

Perry was also sexting with underage girls. Because of course he was.

I wonder: Aren't the differently abled also on the MAGAt hate/exterminate list? They may not be first to the gas chambers, but they'll be close enough that Tim Scott will be able to turn around and wave goodbye from the front of the line. What is it with Abbott's delusion that the theofascism he's enabling won't turn on him?

Can you imagine what sheer hell it is when Trump has to do things publicly with Abbott?

He doesn't want to be in the same room with disabled people.

For the defense, Greg Hupp, a forensic psychologist who examined Perry twice in 2023, testified during his sentencing he diagnosed him with complex post-traumatic stress disorder and autism spectrum disorder.

And they're restoring his rights to carry a gun?!?

Not to excuse anything about the case, but CPSD and ASD very frequently occur together. CPSD is often the result of having to exist with ASD in a world that is very unfriendly to autists.

Because of social stigmas, for example.

Autist here. Nothing excuses the murder Perry committed. Nothing.

Exactly. I have two autistic grandsons. They, and most autistic people, don't go around killing those they hate.

Neither do most people in general. Too bad that the GOP has become a party of sociopaths.
