Well…damn, you are not going to believe how far down the fascist rat hole Texas has gone in the past week…after telling his friends that he was going to murder some protesters in 2020, a man in Texas did just that…he drove his car into a crowd of protesters and when one of then walked up to his car, he shot him 5 times…trying to use Texas’ “stand your ground” laws to protect himself from a murder charge…but just last week, a jury unanimously convicted him of murder…but here comes the twist…because tucker called out the governor abbott for letting this go to trial, abbott is now going to pardon this murderer because I guess it’s not a crime anymore for a repub to murder people in the street…and folks, this is what fascism looks like…where the in group can do whatever the hell they want without consequences because they control the government and have no morals or respect for the rule of law…and it is spreading into every red state…we need to vote these fascist assholes out and now….

There won’t be any companies left in Texas…
Well…the anti women lawmakers in Texas are at it again and are attacking companies who have pledged to cover the healthcare travel expenses for employees based in Texas…and yes that does mean abortion related care and have promised “swift and decisive action” against it…now what that action could be so far is just a threat but I think these assholes should be very careful when they threaten the second largest employer in the US, Amazon, who can very easily just stop giving them money…which they should do anyway…can you imagine trying to lure a company to Texas when you have a history of attacking them if you don’t like every little thing they do? I think if this crap continues, we are going to have an even more separated country with the red states only having businesses owned and run by assholes like Musk…and many company owners are starting to appreciate the stability the dems bring in states like California…even if they have to pay a little more in taxes, it is still cheaper than having to fight off all of the lawsuits that are coming from the vigilante laws repubs are passing in red states that allow anybody to sue for any reason…the party of business? That’s all bullshit and always has been…the economy and business always does better under dems…and now we can see another reason why….geez…
I’m tired of bailing out these idiots…
Well…with the explosion of omicron in both Texas and Florida primarily caused by the passing of laws in both states that outlaw vaccine and mask mandates, and the “feedumb” folks that refuse to be vaccinated or take any precautions against spreading the virus who are egged on by the governors in each state, now the tune has changed and Abbott and DeSantis are now begging the feds to come in and help with setting up testing and to supply more monoclonal antibody treatments for people who chose to not get vaccinated…and this just one week after Abbott bitched in public about federal “overreach” in fighting the virus…you know, I’m tired of bailing out these idiots when their actions caused the problems in the first place…if they would have followed the CDC recommendations and if they would have pushed for vaccinations with boosters, they wouldn’t be in the trouble they are in with only 56% of each state fully vaccinated….so basically they are saying stay out of our business until we screw it up with our ideological bullshit, then please, please feds…come in and save us with your science and money….I feel for the dems that live in these states and have their lives ruined by these assholes, but I have not one F to give about the morons who choose to spread the virus and take up all of the hospital beds so there are none for responsible people….geez…
Ignoring the virus isn’t working for the repubs…
Well…gee, who would think that ignoring the virus and doing nothing to fight it wouldn’t work for the repubs? In Florida, Ron DeSantis’ approval rating has plunged to the lower 40′s from the high 50′s in just a couple of months once the milestone of him killing more people than his margin of victory was passed…and, with 99% of those dying being unvaccinated and 99% of those being repubs, the damage is going to get worse….how the hell do you run on killing 50K people and doing nothing for anyone but your rich buddies? The ads write themselves for the 22 election and if Charlie Crist can’t win in this environment, he just needs to go away. Oh, and here’s a funny bit…with the trampling of women’s rights and voting rights in Texas, a new poll shows that Abbott would lose to…wait for it…Matthew McConaughey by almost 10 points if the election was held today…and Abbott’s approval ratings are flirting with the 30′s as many, many tech companies are re-evaluating their moves to Texas as women are turned into second class citizens with less rights than men….I really hope these morons lose and lose big next year…how can you live in Texas or Florida with these assholes in charge? Geez…
Let’s talk about Texas…
Well…I know I talked a bit about the new Texas abortion elimination laws yesterday but I didn’t touch on the part that makes vigilantes of every citizen of Texas and allows them to sue anyone taking part in the abortion for 10,000 dollars…even a taxi driver that can’t know what the women in his or her cab is going to do…or even women that talks to their friends about having an abortion….now the right wing Taliban on the court have said that it’s all peachy keen with them to have the law go into effect right now since it is a “new and very complex law” and would take too long to study it…and this has never happened in the history of the court, they usually put it on hold until they have time to study it and judge it’s constitutionality but these 5 morons said hey, we don’t care if it’s unconstitutional…lets just let Texas try this out for a while…who cares if it infringes on the 1st amendment and many others…it’s just too complex for us to figure out. So this is why the filibuster has to go right now and we need to expand the court by at least 4 justices and Biden can pick real ones that will follow the law and the SC would no longer be the right wing heaven the repubs just love….geez…
Hypocrisy on steroids…
Well…damn, I never thought the right wingers could get worse but then two things happened that revealed them to have hypocrisy on steroids. With the passing of Texas’s new law outlawing all abortions after 6 weeks and the SC choosing to not intervene essentially saying that the state now owns women’s bodies and can control them any way they want…and the right wing protests against vaccine mandates that have appropriated the women’s rights slogan of “my body, my choice”….I can feel the tsunami of hypocrisy from here…I am confused about all of this…no, I guess I’m not…it’s the right wing evangelicals who have turned Texas into Afghanistan after the Taliban took over….and it is eerie how much the proclamations of the Taliban about controlling women and taking away their rights reads just like the Texas law banning abortion…I guess religious fanaticism is the same no matter what religion is doing it….and it is sick that in 2021 women citizens can have their rights taken away from them by a tiny minority of religious zealots who vote every time while our side has to have to perfect candidate of we sit elections out…that is what gave the American Taliban the state of Texas and the SC that thinks it’s perfectly fine for women to have less rights than the rest of us….geez…
Biden to the rescue…
Well…as you’ve read here, the asshole repub governors of Texas and Florida are doing everything they can to get teachers and kids sick by forbidding any mask or vaccine mandates while threatening them with loss of pay and state funding for any school that tries to protect their staff or kids….but yesterday Joe Biden had his education secretary send a letter DeSantis of Florida telling him that any funding he cuts will be made up by the feds, essentially taking that threat away from him and doing the right thing by the staff and kids of the state of Florida…and that funding will be sent directly to the school districts so DeSantis can’t screw with the funding like he did with the 7 billion dollars Florida got from the coronavirus relief package and never gave to the schools just so he could have leverage to force people to die for his being an asshole. Look, if repub governors want to try to make sure their people die by forbidding them from using life saving equipment and vaccines by mandate, then Biden will do everything in his power to help the unfortunate residents of Florida and Texas who really would prefer not to have their governors kill them…geez…
Finally, a push for voting rights…
Well…after the repubs spent the first 6 months after the election trying to prevent dem voters from voting by almost 300 voter suppression laws, it looks like Joe is finally getting the idea that this is the most important thing to get done…part of the new emphasis I think came from the 50 dem Texas legislators who fled the state to DC to prevent the worst laws of all of them from being passed there…and who have been threatened with arrest from Texas’ governor for their actions. This afternoon, Joe is giving what is being called the most important speech of his administration and will be calling out the repubs as the un American pricks they are….and here’s the thing, they really are trying to steal the country since they have no ideas that anyone except for their rabid base likes…taxing the rich to pay for infrastructure and elder care is supported by 80% of Americans and yet that was the first thing the repubs wanted out of the infrastructure bill….and making it harder to vote is only supported by their fox news watching cult followers…where more than 65% of Americans want voting easier. So, as with the rest of us on the left, we need to keep up the pressure on every legislator to pass this voter protection legislation…or we will lose our democracy forever….geez…
Nope, nope, and nope…
Well….don’t repubs ever get tired of stealing from the American taxpayer? Just this morning, a rep from Texas was on one of the morning shows, when Dana Bash asked him about the egregious price gouging that was going on with both the electricity and gas markets in his home state that have left hundreds of thousands of people with 10,000 dollar electric bills for one week…due to the unregulated power markets that are a feature of Texas….and this idiot had the gall to say that they don’t have to worry about these astronomical bills since FEMA is going to have money to pay them…and my response is nope, nope, and nope! These bills are all fake and don’t reflect any increased costs for any of the power companies but is the result of power companies buying laws that gift them the power to outright steal in the time of increased demand and there is no damn way that FEMA or taxpayers should be paying for what is just an accounting entry…and giving billions to the power company owners…hey, I have a better idea, why not just re-calculate the bills at the normal rate? These thieves should not be rewarded for rigging the system in their favor…now we all understand why Texas wanted to keep it’s power system separate from the national grid….so cheap power from the rest of the country couldn’t be sent to meet increased demand…and to keep the system rigged so a few get rich while the rest of the state pays…not one damn cent of FEMA money should go to these assholes….
Ghouls…every damn one of them…
Well…god, just reading about this made me sick…as you know, there has been a humanitarian emergency from storms and cold in Texas where people haven’t had electricity or heat for almost a week now….and I wrote about the woman who had a 2,800 dollar electric bill for just two days with how the utility companies are allowed to charge in an emergency….just this morning the ghoul Jerry Jones, who is the ceo of a gas company that services Texas was heard on a company call just frickin giddy at how much they are able to charge with the gas shortage that was caused by his company by not winterizing their pipelines…”This week is like hitting the jackpot with some of these incredible prices. We were able to sell at super premium prices for a material amount of production.” Nothing about how his screw ups caused people to die from the cold but just giddily rubbing his hands that he is going to be able to bankrupt people with gas that is 100 times the normal cost…and this is the same Jerry Jones that got 500 million of the cost of the Cowboy’s stadium paid for by the taxpayers of Texas…1% welfare while the little people pay for it. I just hate these guys and the systems they have paid for that allows them to steal even more from the middle class and poor in an emergency…they are all damn ghouls for gleefully hurting people as they line their pockets….and they are all repubs….that’s all there is to say….geez…
