More than half of Democrats in the Texas Senate earlier this week joined Dannie Goeb and all Republicans in supporting SB 990, which gets even more ghoulish about the death penalty in the Pointy Abandoned Object State.
For the unaware, the bill now means that killing a 10-15 year old becomes capital murder, even without another crime. It also gives prosecutors, despite their 96 percent conviction rate on crimes in Tex-ass in general, "enhanced tools." Fourth degree instead of third? It also "closes legal loopholes and gaps." Like, "Hey, he's 9 years, 364 days old, or 15 years, 1 day old?" What stupidity.
Stupidity and concern-trolling and virtue-signaling that 6 of 11 Senate Democrats voted FOR.
Before that, apparently ALL Senate Dems joined Rethuglicans in saying that K-12 public school teachers MUST tell their students about the "unique" evils of Communism.
What? They can't teach both sides, like the Southlake Carroll administrator telling teachers there to talk about "opposing views" on the Holocaust?
In reality, because SB 24 doesn't mention fascism (let alone capitalism) it's virtue signaling on those grounds alone.
It's also virtue signaling, because of what I said yesterday about national-level Democrats, that it doesn't mention Zionism.
Maybe I should be quiet, before Dan-o brings up another bill about Islamo-terrorism.
