This is, clearly, not a problem.

Not a problem at all.

The court battles will be plenty and there’s precedent that shows that Republicans can’t even be subtle about their goals.There’s also precedent that this SCOTUS won’t give a flying fuck about it. 🤢

Yes, but that might well be people fleeing the coastal elite libtard hoards for Real America™, which would just increase polarization a bit more. But the redder states also picked up seats, and will be able to gerrymander the fuck out of them.

Did SCOTUS tell Paxton to get his ass in court and face those felony charges yet? Not that I don't LOVE what they have done so far today.

By now he's probably convinced himself that he could have taken the shooter out with a well-placed shot from the outfield before the AR-15 was raised into position if only the Congress members had been packin' on the diamond.

I think he said that God had saved him, so we don't need no laws.

I've worked with people like that but I'm a bitch and just tell them - No I won't approve without being there and no I'm not going to be there now, so Yes you had better reschedule.

Rumor here is Scalise is looking at a governor run once Bel Edwards is termed out. I'm sure he's throwing red meat at all the western parishes.

As we have seen the place is alive with cameras. Anyone who let someone through armed would be discovered in short order and be part of the assassination conspiracy. They're not that devoted to the cause when push comes to shove. They'll stand aside and let the mob run rampant but they aren't taking the fall with them.

Whenever I think of Scalise I get that Butthole Surfers song "Pepper" in my head.

well, charges have not been filed in the FBI investigation and that has been extended because of his attendance at the treason hoe down on 1/6. so that's the federal end.

the other charges are state charges. SCOTUS doesn't have any authority there.

people like to use TX and CA as campaign ATMs which leaves us with not enough money to cover the multiple very expensive ad markets in the state to mount an adequate challenge.

so it's not exactly what's wrong with Texas, it's what's wrong with everyone else. please tell your candidates to try to get most of their campaign cash from inside your states.

thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
