The Far Left Texas Wrangle: Democrats and Republicans Behaving Badly


I fell behind this week, and there's just too much for one post, so I'm breaking it down into a few.  Opening with the duopoly's baddest actors, and when the fish rots, it begins at the top.


In Texas' case, such a statewide probe may be costly, with one estimate saying it could amount to some $250 million in taxpayer money. In November, $4 million was drained from the state prison system to help fund county election audits.

Maybe someone on the the call tonight will ask the SoS about this.


John Whitmire and Chris Hollins together might make for some fireworks, or they may just stick to the topic and stick it to John Scott.  ICYMI:


And in case you don't follow nonsequiteuse, she has crawled up Dean Quitmire's ass, pitched a tent, started a camp fire, and is roasting weenies for Molly Cook and her entire crew.


Passive-aggressively vicious. I love it.

This research is embarrassing the HouChron editorial board, but not nearly as much as their endorsement of the fellow who refused to talk to them.


Both the Whitmire and the Wesley Snipes Hunt endorsement are sell-outs to perceived future authority.  It's about the weakest, most disgraceful action they could have taken.


With Democrats like Ogg and Whitmire, who needs Republicans?  If you're a tuff-on-crime liberal, go vote the HGLBTQ slate.  Let Judge Bynum explain if you're not getting it.


Of course Texas Republicans have completely lost their shit, and Texas Democrats see more advantage in trying to recruit their dropouts than they do running on actual progressive policies.


Both Andrea and Kuffner climbed over the paywall to bring you the details.


And if it's Christian conservative sex scandals you're into, Shell Seas has your ticket.


Unfortunately for them, there's a lot of things that might be considered similar going on with the Donks in their primary fights.


The (Texans for Better Democrats Coalition) is made up of three progressive groups tied to organized labor: the Texas Organizing Project, Communications Workers of America, and Working Families Party. They are prepared to spend about $250,000 across the three primaries, funding field and mail programs in each one, said Pedro Lira, co-director of the Texas WFP.


Still don't understand why I call centrist Dems shitlibs?  Read the replies here.


On most issues, with the exception of the Biden administration’s border and immigration policy, majorities of the poll’s registered voters expressed preferences for policies that are to the left of those endorsed by Texas’s current leaders.

Frankly, that's schizophrenic.

Stace at Dos Centavos asks why two Latino GOPers are pretending to run for head immigration agent and why local Latino Dems haven't said anything about it.  And SocraticGadfly takes a critical look at "gotcha" social media about the not-so-great freeze, the subject of the next Wrangle.
