Fucking hate it here. Texas will be much better off when Abbott and his ilk are no longer in office.

People like him have been in office for decades. This is Texas culture.

Doesn't have to be. "it's always been that way" is defeatist and unacceptable.

You’re projecting anxiety. I’m not being defeatist, I’m being a realist. There’s every chance that things can change if enough people get sick of the status quo but that’s a fairly tall mountain.

All it takes for abbot is an inconvenient fire and a convenient staircase.

For fucking fucks sake bathrooms are the least of our fucking concerns right now. This, again, is a tactic to waste time in legislation just like the stupid ass kitty litter in schools legislation.

Abbott needs to be chucked into the river. Not his wheelchair though, leave that for someone who actually needs help.

Might as well tack on 50 million for the "perverted arts".
