Now new and improved! Hey, remember how cool it was when Texas's terrible 2011 voter ID law was overturned as a violation of the Voting Rights Act back in July? The Justice Department and the state reached a compromise in August, allowing people to vote even if their state-issued ID was expired, or if they could otherwise prove they were eligible voters. Voters would simply have to sign a sworn affidavit stating they'd had trouble getting their documents together before the election.
True story - El Dad is currently rehearsing a play in which he plays a deranged, loopy congressman who says crazy stuff. Guess who he picked as his model?
Texas AG Paxton just filed suit against the federal government (this is the 41st I think, hard to keep track) for 'giving away the internet' (removing Commerce department oversight of ICANN, a non-profit based in LA).The Texas governor, lt. governor, and AG slots are training ground for national office. People in those offices (white Republican males) can pass any idiot law or regulation and Texans won't say anything. Eventually, though, the Hispanics will be a majority and the major urban centers will have a majority of non-Texans, people from all over the U.S. and even foreign countries!
depends on how you count. if you count ones filed by Abbott also too since the Trib started tracking them, it is 44. speaking of which, you don't have to keep track because the Texas Tribune will do that for you:https://www.texastribune.or...
finally, I wouldn't really say that to Dewey about the lt. gov. being a training ground for national office. you would totes hurt him in the feels.
Just want to express love and admiration for the Jimmy Crow cartoon, from the great Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury. Reading bound volumes of the comic strip from my high school library in the 1980s re-inforced my young liberalism, and explained a lot of the craziness of the previous decade and the then-current times. It was a day -by- day chronicle of American mores from 1970 on, from a liberal perspective, with tremendous humor and heart, incredibly well-drawn characters (I mean narratively, mostly).
Doonesbury is a great work of art and social history, and Trudeau is up there with Dickens in portraying the times he lives in, the now in real time. A marvelous thing.
"How YOU doin'?"
OK! if your point is simply to clarify that the extra declaration is on the same physical piece of paper - got it! Good to know!
Still - what Stanart said was fucked up! It being hot air does not preclude it being fucked up.

Yup... Louie and his Preznitial ties.
How much more plainly can they say that most people hate Republican policies, and they know it?
what's really fucked up is anyone taking Stanart seriously.
just havin some good old redneck fun Texas style - why would they care about laws - Trump doesn't -

Or you could just vote by mail like we do in Oregon. Not totally fool proof but probably Texas Fool Politician proof...
OT and late, but serious question:
In states that allow open-carry/concealed-carry, will people be allowed to bring loaded guns into or around a polling place?
Of course he told Fox News. Of course he fucking did.
Only if you're white.

Are there that many felons available for jury duty?
