As expected, Texas goes bigger than anywhere else. In trimming Democracy, whereas other Red states use puny Weed Wackers, Texas goes right for a heavy-duty chainsaw that would clear out a forest of redwoods. I imagine Texas lawmakers sing in chorus to Abbott, “He’s a lumberjack, and he’s so swell / He slash-cuts lib’ral laws to Hell“ … (apology to “Monty Python”)
If there is a god, when Abbott dies he’ll be spending eternity as a tiny useless, powerless speck (heck, he already is that) in the reincarnated Ann Richards, come back to govern Texass out of the 1600’s. Time would crawl past infinitely slowly. That would certainly be hell for him.
GOP knows they can’t get a win unless they cheat! They’re always in the “crisis” mode and running scared! That’s why they use any tactic to try to convince people.
What the ‘puck’ is going on in Texas? Is Trump starting his own hockey league? If the Governor wears a cowboy hat for a photo-op is that a hat trick? . . . /S
@Patjade= Right Pat. Along with having having former Jackass #1 as president being the final straw which also made us the laughing stock of the whole world.
Inside Trump and Eastman’s Jan. 2 ‘Big Lie’ call with more than 300 GOP state legislators
Trump was on the call along lawyers John Eastman — who wrote a memo outlining how Vice President Mike Pence could disregard the 2020 Electoral College vote and install Trump for another term — and Rudy Giuliani, who Michigan House Republicans allowed to lead a long post-election hearing airing myriad baseless right-wing election conspiracy theories.
The call with 300 state legislators was a strategy session on decertifying 2020 presidential election results. Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers approved in November President Joe Biden’s more than 154,000-vote victory over Trump and Michigan’s electors cast their ballots for Biden in December.
“You are the real power," Trump told the state lawmakers, according to the Washington Examiner. “You’re the ones that are going to make the decision."
The Post also reported that Giuliani ran a “command center" at the Willard, a Washington, D.C., hotel, plotting with Eastman and other Trump loyalists like Stephen Bannon about how to overturn the 2020 election.
McBroom told the Post he did not hear such evidence and didn’t support efforts to delay the vote count. However, a majority of the GOP caucus in the Michigan Senate went on to sign a letter asking members of Congress to examine baseless allegations of election fraud.
In June, the Senate Oversight Committee led by McBroom released a 35-page report concluding that there was no widespread evidence of voter fraud and debunking several conspiracy theories.
“Our clear finding is that citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan," the report reads. “The committee strongly recommends citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain."
Their project to cancel balloting in swing states is well under way and other Republican controlled state legislatures are following suit. Be aware — it’s going on now.

There’s no mask: They know it’s immoral, but are convinced that winning is more important.

Anything and everything to stay in power except: Values, morals, ethics, vision, and appealing to a broader spectrum of voters.
The Republican party has to take more extreme measures to stay in power because they represent a diminishing constituency.
