Both Governor Greg Abbott and Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton were embarrassed by House Republicans this year. The heck with beating the Democrats, they’re going to war with fellow GOPers!
I occasionally miss the fantasy of Texas legislative politics. Thanks Deece for bringing it to me in all its non-glory. Such complete lay-out of the issues and the truth, as always. And yes, the Bum Steer of the Year and the description of why, is if not Pulitzer quality, at least mini-Pulitzer level.
You can't tell the players without a program. Thanks, Deece, for laying it out for us. And for providing the virtual beer and Cracker Jacks to help us with this information.
Deece, thanks again for spelling out both the shitshow that is our state Republican leadership and the great information on who's running for what in the 2024 primaries. The stuff you laid out on political vendettas in the Republican primaries sounds a lot like a Mafia war, doesn't it? You cross me, so I'll have my hired assassin take you out - no muss, no fuss - and then I'll have my new consigliere kiss the ring. Kinda interesting to hear the (usually) quiet part spoken out loud. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
The names no longer resonate with me. Worked for two different Reps in the 70’s, but knew it was time to bail when my last boss changed parties to keep his job. At that time it was shocking and betrayed a major disloyalty that was apparently never “a thing”. I thought he was one of the good guys, voted right most of the time and was a nice guy to work for, smart and funny. Oh well!
