Let me rephrase...  Please provide the continuum... as I understand it today:
Annoying/Catering to $ ------------------ Batshit crazy
Abbott -----------------------------------  West
 
Where is Huffines?
I know where Beto is... playing along at home, just like me.

Huffines is a true believer and off of the charts crazy.

Yep.  West is just going through the motions until he figures out a safe Congressional district to land in, or he figures out what the next state is that he plans on moving too and running in*

*The next state West will be living in is Denial

Jesus Christ, where to start?  
 

How about (near) the top of the list...Reform Executive Powers.  The rest of your list relies heavily on abusing Executive Powers.  So your list begins to fly in the face of itself right off the bat.  But then, that's how the Forest Trolls work, isn't it Manon?  Or whatever name you're going by these days.  I have followed you for all of eternity, emerging to run for Governor of Texas in 2021, A.D.  Bold move Manon, bold move.

Man, if those are winning issues with most Texans than I am really not aligned with most Texans because I don't give a shit about any of that stuff.

I'm cool with putting even more restrictions on our Governor.

When I saw the last one, I immediately thought national monuments, because that’s just where my head goes, and then I realized, oh, he means confederate statues. 

1234.

I think we should have a statue of General Custer along Shoal Creek, where he camped with his men.  We could pull it off - a bunch of MAGA would probably think it was for what happened at Little Big Horn, but the plaque at the foot of the statue needs to only mention that this statue is honoring the Union occupation of Texas after the Civil War.

A lot of that shit costs a lot of money. Yet smack dab in the middle of that is elimination of property taxes.

Allen West is looking at Huffines and is like "HOLD MY BEER MOTHERFUCKERS!"

https://www.kxan.com/news/texas-politics/texas-gop-candidate-vows-to-investigate-rrisd-police-after-board-meeting-arrests/

Quote

Allen West, a Texas GOP candidate, vowed in front of Round Rock parents and community members Wednesday that he would launch an investigation into the Round Rock ISD Police Department if elected governor. 

It comes after two men were arrested in connection to a RRISD board meeting. 

Quote

“Round Rock ISD coordinated with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, which was the arresting agency in this case,” a spokesperson for the district wrote when KXAN asked about the arrests Sept. 18. The same day the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office told us they “had no involvement in this case” but are listed as the arresting agency on court documents.

Quote

“If they continue to have a police force here at Round Rock, we will have an investigation into their authority and their jurisdiction — because I don’t think they have the ability to go out and do what they did,” West said, referring to the arrest of the two men. 

The comments came during a press conference outside of a RRISD school board meeting where the board was expected to go into closed session to “meet in consultation with legal counsel to discuss the employment and performance of the Superintendent.”

Quote

Outside, West also promised that he would fight back against school boards that try to “rule” over parents. 

“I will guarantee you this: if I am the governor of the state of Texas, you will not have any school district, any school board that tries to rule over you. I will make sure that they don’t have the funding and the resources and I will make sure that they are removed,” West said before the crowd.

Good job West, push that authoritarian bullshit that Republicans seem to thrive on these days.  You'll show those local school districts and officials that there is only one authority - that of the Governor.  Fuck allowing parents electing their local school boards.

WTH. How many idiots can the  GOP  get to run for governor? I thought elections have consequences.

That scene always creeped me out. It was sorta funny, yet very creepy.

Yeah, it doesn't fit with the rest of the movie.  But I always like Bernie in it.  I always liked Bernie in every scene.  I mean, just squeezing the guy's hands makes him eat $5,000 between the two vans?  Doesn't make any sense.  I think it was Bernie using half the charm like the other guys and then half sheer bullying.  But I liked that in all the films, he was very conscious of his beautiful hands. 

Anyway, Huffines looks like he's coated in lanolin hand cream at all times.  And not in a good way.  Not saying there's a good way.  Wait, maybe there's a good way...

Bernie was great in that movie, in all scenes including that one. It was just weird because like you say, it didn’t fit with the rest of the movie.

Bobby?  Is that supposed to be an insult?
Anyway, Beto is going to be at Republic Square Park tomorrow at 6:30.

Yes. It is supposed to be an insult.

I tested it by referring to Ted as Raphael when speaking to my uncle. He was fucking offended as fuck. True story.

That's because it's acceptable, nay, highly encouraged, for an Hispanic man to assimilate into the dominant Anglo-American culture of his youth but an unforgivable betrayal for an Anglo to do adapt to the dominant Hispanic culture of his. To do so must mean Beto is a self-loathing liberal who's ashamed of being white.

They won't say it, or even connect the dots, but that is how they feel without a bit of introspection.

Exactly.  That's why they don't like to be called racist.  They can't or won't connect the dots.

My god this state is so fucked up.

Yep.  You should get out while you can.

Will be interesting to see what happens as the GQP continues to fuck with education.  Texas kids coming out of public schools won't be qualified for higher education (a lot aren't now), and good luck getting a decent job.  If the younger generation doesn't wake up and get their asses out to vote, shit is irredeemably fucked.

Ick. That sucks, but expected. As said many times in this thread, Beto screwed the Democrats chances this cycle.   Really going to miss that down ballot energy he created during his senate run. 
 

the entire thing is so fucking stupid. Why guns?! I mean why.  Such a pointless topic.    Our great hope fucked us. Now we are stuck with god damn women hating republicans for probably eight more years.

From an article about it:

Quote

Cincinnati-based Kroger said in a company memo last week that unvaccinated employees who become ill with COVID will no longer be eligible for two weeks of paid emergency leave starting Jan. 1. Also as of that date, salaried employees enrolled in a company health care benefits plan who aren’t vaccinated against COVID will be assessed a $50 monthly surcharge for their coverage.

That's Republican as fuck - paying extra if you want to fuck around, instead of Socialist Marxists treating everybody the same.
