A Really Lousy Week Wrangle


It's too late for me to catch up on all the atrocities that went down since the last non-toon post, but like our pathetic Democrats in Washington and Austin trying to pass some gun safety legislation -- or anything approaching that -- I'll give it a go anyway.


As you know, Beto did his best to capitalize on all of these blunders.  The blue partisans and the media got honked up about it, but some of us saw it for what it was.


Then there was the NRA convention here in H-Town, which was filled with its own theatrics.  Inside and out.


If I blog any more about this topic at this length it'll be about the cops and their failures, coverups, lies, and whatever other corruption gets uncovered in the days to come.


Be reminded that absofuckinglutely nothing will be done to stop the next tragedy.




There were some other bad things that happened while I was away.  You probably noticed.


I would like to think that after he leaves Congress early next year, we will have heard the last of Louie.  But I doubt it.


Cuellar has survived because of the assistance provided by Republicans Nancy Pelosi, James Cyburn, Steny Hoyer, and Joe Biden.


But there were also some good things.  And some of those involved Texas Democrats.


This is an embarrassing defeat for Matt Angle, who had taken to calling Jasmine "Crypto Crockett" in his slimeball attempts to wedge his chosen Blue Dog into this seat.  Crockett isn't even all that progressive; nobody's talking about welcoming her to The Squad's cast of pretenders.  She may not be as shitlibby as Colin Allred or Lizzie Fletcher; we'll have to wait and see.


A tough road still ahead for Zapata against Chip Roy.  She's made all the right moves and the winds seem to be prevailing.  She's one of the very few I would say: help if you can.


That's enough for now.  More on Monday.  A couple of soothers:
