Since Allen West is primarying Abbott he had to resign as chair of the Texas Republican Party. This clown that almost got his ass kicked on the floor of the Texas house a few years ago after saying he was gonna call Immigration on protesters is his replacement.
That quoted part reads like an email I get in Chinese at the end of each semester....only not nearly as much material required here.
Family friend who represents corpus and is a republican. Was fully ready to get pissed off watching this. Instead he’s actually explaining the quorum rules to his constituents and his Twitter feed is just him retweetung weather info for south Texas. And his website positions are all about working on suicide prevention and domestic abuse. Maybe they aren’t all bad
Democrats tried that during the regular session. It didn’t work. This session is explicitly for the ramming.
I know you don’t have the answer to this, but I’d be really curious to know what he views as a compromise to a problem that doesn’t exist at any level of statistical significance.
I went to college with his son. Good people. Hunter was one of Speaker Straus's top lieutenants. I believe GK is right, he would have worked to kill or neuter the bill, and failing that I do not imagine he'd vote for the bill like we see presented today. He is popular in his district but I doubt he could get elected as a republican anymore (not withstanding the fact that his district has since been redrawn to the point of being unrecognizable).
He is my sisters godfather He was chair of the calendar committee for a long time which meant he was able to kill a lot of bills that republicans tried to ram through Strauss and hunter are republicans in the sense that Texas is so gerrymandered that it is impossible to get elected if you run as a dem. If there is an actual moderate that still exists he is one of them
Is there a more undeservedly arrogant group of people than Texas high school football coaches? This article is amazing. They are all morons who think the world should revolve around them
Worked at Slaw for a bunch of Texas kids back in the 60s and 70s when y’all still had a team. Fingers crossed.
The good news is that every single person I knew that went to college and played sports did not give a single fuck about the opinion of the high school coach
lol our former kicker James Hairston is married to one of his daughters, and she made news for being kicked out of a catholic church a few months ago for not wearing a mask https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2021/03/29/deirde-hariston-holy-trinity-catholic-church-mask/
He’s waaaay worse than Abbott. Went on Steve Bannon’s show Friday and said if he were Governor he would’ve already sent the Texas Rangers to DC to arrest the democrats and seized their property. He’s a true believer. Abbott is a soulless politician.
