Luckily it's pretty easy to fool the GOP base. All you have to do is scream about socialism and the poors driving Cadillacs, and the base freaks out.

Taxes pay for stuff! Stuff is good!Speaking of fracking, that's another way Texas stuck it to local government- cities cannot ban fracking. Denton tried it and got smacked down. : (

Holy crap. Around here, when you comment on the stench of oil & gas production in the air, some asshole invariably says, "That's the smell of MONEY!" Hardy-har-har.Also, too: you said 'Titta' *snort*

Fucking retards!Not the Texas Legislators that passed this Draconian bullshit. But rather the Texans who voted for these assholes. And those who sat on their asses and didn't vote!There is ample stupidity to go around on this one!

Of course this is a purposeful delay and I think other state(s)went that route first, too, so it is progress.

No surprise Texas which is a Pharma Vaccine minion would pull funding from its most vulnerable people. How heroic of the state to pick on those with little ability to fight back.

... as long as that internet percent calculator isn't made by Texas Instruments, even though, apparently, they are still "a thing".

Are we taking bets on whether the "thosese" person identifies as Christian? Of course not, we KNOW they do.
