SocraticGadfly: Texas Progressives discuss Warmonger Joe and more

Texas Progressives discuss Warmonger Joe and more

As shown in the Louisiana governor's race, Black Democratic backing for Warmonger Joe is getting softer. There, turnout was way down; nationwide, Biden's percentage of support is softening. I think that's in part because, contra turd-polishing on the economy by the likes of Krugman, lower income people of any race are facing economic headwinds.

Warmonger Joe is getting the support of Warmonger Greg in Tex-ass, as Abbott tells Texas public schools to teach Zionism propaganda courtesy of the Anti-Defamation League and others. (Is Tim Dunn OK with this? Former Fetus Forever Fuckwad Jonathan Stickland and best bud Nick Fuentes?)

Speaking of? SocraticGadfly said he would accept no new Speaker of the House, even a government shutdown in a few weeks, if that's what ti takes to block $100 billion in new foreign aid bribery. 

And, lots of Arab-Americans of all religious backgrounds, along with Muslims of all ethnicities, who voted for him in 2020 appear likely to take a pass on Biden this time. I'll assume they're not voting Trump. Since Justin Amash opted not to run Libertarian, that means Green or Cornel West wherever he might be on the ballot. Bob Jr. also cuts blank checks to Zionism, so that's not happening.

City of San Marcos has to cough up $175K to Wendy Davis, three others, over 2020 Trump Train incident and city police non-responsiveness. TML is paying half on insurance; the city's half, under $100K, meant no city council vote needed. A bit weaselly! Police officers required to undergo training re voter intimidation and related policing issues.

So far, Colony Ridge is a nothingburger.

Wingnuts pissed off that Denton ISD is starting a school health clinic funded in part with Medicaid money.

Art Briles, bullshitter extraordinaire. The former Baylor head coach and football player sexual abuse facilitator claims he knows nothing about his ghostwritten bio, among the BS. (The ghoster has called Briles a liar.)

Off the Kuff gave a couple of campaign finance updates for Houston City Council.
