I had Bonevac for Contemporary Moral Problems AND got a B so this hits close to home…

    I think that it’s now safe to say that we Texans now live in a failed state.  30 years of GOP rule, setting our own standard, living the “Texas Dream,” which they’ve bragged about relentlessly…and let

    My daughters and I talk about this. I’ve always been puzzled about where the idea of on-campus indoctrination comes from. I don’t think humanities and liberal arts faculty are any more or less toleran

Professor Bonevac won’t be on staff in 2025.  No matter how hard he blows Regent Eltife.  I’m sure he’ll go on to other opportunities and publish.

As Texas inches closer to the potential of flipping blue, we will see more and more extreme protections attempts by the gop. They can’t envision a bigger disaster than every statewide office being a Democrat. I have no doubt that they want one county=one vote as we always see their lame maps showing how much land overwhelmingly votes for the gop.

I think the best (not perfect) analogy to what we see with the GOP here is how long / how hard Jim Crown and all its tentacles were to remove.

When you consider be fact that the GQP is the most anti-democratic, anti-voter party to ever exist inside our borders (and note, the American Communist Party is indeed a thing, and is also MUCH more democratic and pro voter than the GQP)…this all checks out.

I’m pretty sure Loving County (and the other bottom 20-30 counties);gets a little help from the rest of the taxpayers of Texas in keeping their school, road and bridge and what not maintained.

But just like when I swore off tequila after vomiting bile for 3 hours, this time I mean it!  

Everybody cross over and vote for more moderate Republicans.  Yeah, yeah...none exist and are all evil incarnate.  But be an adult and understand the range/spectrum.  At least draw back the damage being done, wait for the 2032 post-census, post-redistricting changes along with demography.  And you should be good to go.  Throwing $75mm at Beto or Wendy or Allred isn't gonna do a fucking thing except piss away the handful of competitive districts in our state for now.  Oh wait, maybe the youth vote will turn the tide.  That thing that's never happened, ever in the history of Texas.  I know I'm a repetitive pessimist.  But you can primary some of these fuckers out of office for the next 8 years but gotta pull a D-ballot to vote for that uncontested Harris County judge to get your sticker.  They accidentally left a mechanism in your lap with open primaries and the straight ticket decision.  It's just waiting there to be used because they won't make it available for much longer.  They are going to close that loophole.  I promise you.  The pre-filing has already begun.  But we'll fuck it up like we always do.

The person who doesn't understand the range/spectrum of the Republican Party is you. 

The range/spectrum goes something like this  [Traitorous Fascist <----> Traitorous Fascist]. 

Everyone else has left the party.

So there’s like an after-party then?

so ignorant racist rednecks with shitty food, why am I not surprised

For any of you who don’t keep close tabs on state political happenings, just a heads up we’re about to go all gas no brakes turbo effed. I mean ya, this state is already very boned, but just watch this 25 session when democrat input is completely voided and the house is remolded in the vision of Patrick/paxton/abbott. There will be zero checks/balances or consequence either.

The Republican Party of Texas believes it, else they wouldn’t be looking to create a mini-electoral college in Texas where candidates have to win the majority of counties and not the majority of votes.

If moderate Republicans were actually a thing in this state, they would have as much of a chance winning a primary as I do becoming the queen of England.

Failed state ?

no, no a full blown maga gqp banana republic …..

 

I'm not a judge.  I'm not a lawyer.  But I presided over an impeachment hearing.  

No sense of irony, Dan?  

He read up on jury instructions?  I guess the senate was acting as a jury in that case.  Did he give instructions?  It wasn’t a real trial, with a real jury selected by a real latin term.

was his instruction “don’t vote guilty unless you want to lose your seat?”

So all Patrick has to do is get a copy of the check that Merchan endorsed and that GUILTY will be forthcoming?  

He's got that, right?

Dan also believes that the Trump jury deliberation wasn’t long enough. Um, do we really believe that the Texas Senate spent more than 5 minutes deciding on Paxton? I know they took longer for appearances but it wasn’t really a longer deliberation than trumps jury. 

This is exactly what Abbott / Patrick / Paxton want ….

 

Wait, on a college campus of 52,000...there are some hetrosexual couples over 18 having consensual sex?  

Holy shit, this is groundbreaking information.

And while I would assume that these plaintiffs will say that the man should also be punished, it will only be the wicked woman who is.  Under His eye.

If you’re gonna allow that reasoning, you must punish out of state travel for all healthcare. Don’t be a pussy, go full fascism and get it the fuck over with.

UT is going to be become Abbott's mouthpiece for right-wing extremism. No one takes aggy seriously, so this is the route they're taking.

If this simulation has any hint of humor, it will tell Ken Paxton that there is a life-saving eye surgery available just over the border into New Mexico.  But he can't go

Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals."

It seems asking this dude under oath if he planned on voting for a felon to be hired for a government job would be germane.

Watch out, you’ll get called a helpless dumbass for posting the D candidate needs to make up 5.6% percentage points across Houston, Dallas-Ft.Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso. Probably get called a slut too if you mention first election post-Dobbs.

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero, so one would think it would also go for GOP one-party rule. As for Dems ever winning statewide elections in Texas again:

If that trend continues, the D vote should be right around 48% this election. Add in the unlikability of Trump, 34 felonies, post-Dobbs enthusiasm, and a weird independent candidate that appeals to a lot of rightwing conspiracy theorists, and maybe there's a chance in 2024... 

If nothing else, 2028 might put Texas in play if the trend continues in 4 years. (assuming we still have elections)
