It really tells us something - unpleasant - about ultra-conservatives and the MAGA-nuts…the “red states” are home to large numbers of Democrats, left-leaning independents and moderate Republicans!
I am blue in red Texas. They cheat, lie, spew the most vitriol, and hatred, often from a pulpit. It is hard to function and will likely get more difficult every hour of every day.
It’s sad…I have my problems here in Florida, but Texas having not elected a democrat to statewide office since the mid-1990’s, must make the spirits of people like Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan, LBJ and a few others…quite uncomfortable! Good luck and stay safe and let’s do our parts in trying to turn our states “blue” again!
Yes, Molly was smart and fabulous and died too young…and thank you JD for reminding me of Molly - talk about colorful, insightful and informatively interesting - she was more than that…”Raise Hell” Molly!

As Heather says above: “Tennessee governor Bill Lee is still lying that Biden delayed aid to his state, when in fact he delayed in asking for it, as required by law.” The leg’s new term starts today, & Lee’s is staking it on vouchers (Lee claims he’s a Christian). I’ve read two articles in three weeks about his eagerness to send the Guard to the border to help with deportation.

They have stacked the deck, it started with Rove in 1994. Before that Texas was great. Add Molly Ivins to the disquieted spirits

Both she and Ann, I remember thinking that the Gods were against us. Little did I know

“Christian” left out Christ. They are evil cretins at best.
Did Osteen actually purchase a million dollar coffee table? There is a rumor.....
His dad was a stand up guy for a preacher, this cretin is a crook.
Yet no thought of sending the Guard to California to help with wildfires.
Thanks for continuing the fight there JD

Sounds like Texas, they have rewritten history

That's right, something we should all remember.
