"Life Comes at Ya Fast" Wrangle from Far Left Texas


Just when I thought I would blog about Miller Lite, or Gene Wu's eating habits, or Donna Howard's, err ... laundry, the Texas House Democrats in Washington had to go and shift the narrative.


Someone -- a Republican, if you can believe it -- predicted this development, but because the TXGOP have no empathy, it's not influencing their snark much.


(Psst: He's a 'communicator' and a 'former DCer'.  So maybe the best they have.)


As time marches on, so do the Republican efforts to make a silk purse out of the remaining 18 days in the (first non-redistricting-related, thank you Guvnah) sow's ear special session of the summer.  The Senate passed the voter suppression bill, the bill curtailing women's reproductive rights, and the the critical race theory bill.  Oddly no action on SB10, the bill that would restore funding legislative salaries (that Abbott vetoed).  I suppose somebody thinks that would be a bad look during the quorum break.  On another bummer: with several remaining crappy pieces of legislation queued up, I can't wait to hear John Whitmire say "lipstick on this pig" for the 40th time.  Here's your exit strategy: all of these will suffocate until the House Dems return, and if/when they don't, then we wait for special session #2 ... unless something unforeseen happens.  Which, after the way last week unfolded, should be expected.

Kuff also had plenty to say about Quorum Break 2, the sequel.  No mention of the COVID outbreak among the caucus, however.

Never one to let someone else have all the attention, Joe Manchin stole the show back.


With Democraps like Manchin and Krysten's Enema, who needs Mitch McConnell?

Got much more obviously, but I'll stop here.  A separate post on the foibles of Governor Fish Lips, and yes, all of the previously promised.  Here's my calm-me-downs:
