The special session has one goal – to increase rancor and division among Republican legislators. Even if – especially if – nothing passes, the state will be worse off.
You know I'm gettin to old for this crap. Somebody needs to slap the spit outta them idiots in Austin. Or, give em' an over the knee spanking. Seriously, I'm at the age where not too many people are at my age, and I've just about reached my tolerance for ignant. Gov. Abutt has got to go. Now he wants every pistol packing law man in the state to be an INS agent. The real asylum seekers won't have a chance and I won't have a place to sleep on Saturday night caus' the jails'll be full of 'em.
People of this state need to understand, the freaking voucher program is just that a gd voucher. It ain't gonna pay for the whole thing. The poor little bastards mamma is still gonna come outa pocket, or he's gonna have to bring in a lump of coal for heat. We ought to just pay to fix what we know is broken without opening another can of spiders. Oh, and get the sons a bitches out of Harris county.
Colony Ridge? Hell, what did the state do for the east side of Shenandoah when they didn't have running water or sewage. The poorest mofos in state livin' right across I-45 from the richest. But Colony Ridge needs special attention cause some of it's citizens speak Spanish huh?
Deece, you summed it up when you said millions of dollars. I wish I could win the power ball on one of them extra good nights. I'd give the pole cats in Austin a million each to go pound sand. I'd win my money back betting a place to pitch a tent couldn't be found on the beach.

The problem is the Lege, of course, but it's also the voters who elect them. Two tranches: 1) rural voters who, no matter how bad Greg Abbott is, think he's better than Hillary Clinton, Karl Marx, or whomever bugaboo their media machine is feeding them; and 2) non-voters, be they young, Latino, or whatever, who are maybe registered but do not vote.
Great explanation for Special Session, Deece. This gathering should be nausea-inducing.
Oh, BTW: R-You Kidding Me? Classic.
Thanks, John! Like a demolition derby, it will be interesting to watch.
Thanks Deece.

Are you following along as you did with the impeachment trial, or are you taking a mental health break?
Not in that detail. I will be following and reporting on the internecine warfare in the Texas GOP that will provide the undercurrent for the session.
I’ve always thought it odd that a governor can force the legislature into a special session. Abbott seems to relish this power.
