Governor COVID


Since I'm an atheist, I'm not supposed to believe in karma.


I do wonder who among this enthusiastic crowd might contract the virus, be hospitalized, but not be able to buy access to Regeneron or monoclonal antibodies.  Or a third shot.

Greg Abbott's selfishness, greed, and dark, hard heart is eclipsed only by his rank hypocrisy and his malignant sociopathy.  If, as so many devout Christians believe, their fate vis-à-vis not protecting themselves medically and scientifically is demonstrative of their powerful faith; that they are placing their lives and well-being in the "hands of God" ... then God just clapped his hands together and crushed a mosquito.

Not that our governor is a bloodsucker or something ...

Seriously, he's going to continue to be a lot better than okay.  The rest of us?  Well, we have to take our chances on dying for freedom.

Abbott likes to say, in another context, “the most precious freedom is life itself.” We agree. More than 54,000 Texans have lost theirs now -- some because they believed vaccine conspiracies and some because they believed political leaders who claim a face mask is more tyrannical than a deadly infectious disease.

The governor is reportedly feeling fine ... He seems to be in good hands. If only we could say the same for Texas.

The Epic Failure Wrangle from Far Left Texas


It looks the same wherever you are standing, whether that's inside the Lone Star State or outside of it.


Q isn't sending their best into the streets to protest, it seems.  But they still get their grievances heard ... and approved.


News item: Eastern Harris County lifts shelter-in-place after "mysterious odor"

Update: "What in the sweet libtard hell is this" ... why, that's Briscoe Cain, demonstrating once again that long-term exposure to the fumes in Baytown have damaged his brain.  See, there's a reason why I post cartoons: it's for (those with the intellect of) the children.


One more snarky bit.


One climate update (with more snark following):


As if there might actually be a god, and she's sending Austin Rethugs a message, there'll be another quorum call this afternoon in the Texas House.  Those attending might ought to wear galoshes.


And Stace at Dos Centavos posted some facts about asylum seekers as Abbott and the TXGOP spread COVID lies.  Perhaps there might yet be a political price to be paid by Governor Strangelove for his kow-towing to the lowlife in the GOP.


Don't count on Texas Democrats to capitalize, though.


Okay then.  Probably should post a few items regarding the redistricting/gerrymandering data that dropped last week.


Kuff also took a look at census data.

Wrapping up today with these.
