I would just call them Looney Tunes. As I was reading your article that is all I could think about. Or am I disrespecting the real Looney Tunes?
Anyway; the GOP is scary! I guess Nutters is best. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that the candidate that is running for the Democratic Party wins in November! I might have to pray the rosary for October 3rd until November 3rd, Election Day.
First, comparing Arrington to Frodo is unfair to hobbits. Second, please warn progressive delegates to be careful what they sign. A minority of the Rules Committee wants to “pull”, i.e. block, the Texas Progressive Caucus from being represented on the SDEC. We are both members of TPC
It passed, but Angel Smith has been warning about a floor petition being circulated in hopes the full body will vote against us “dirt bag left,” to quote Fetterman
So exactly what did the reorganization for Rules Committee say. If it passed was it a rejection of the Progressive caucus and don't we get to vote on that as delegates????? I know a member of the Rules Committee; guess I should just ask her.
My understanding is that some people will be circulating a floor petition to try to force a vote to block Texas Progressive Caucus from having seats on SDEC as an affinity caucus. If it were to succeed it would force a floor vote late Saturday afternoon which could lead to a quorum challenge. I won’t be there, but my first state convention was 1978; I’ve seen shenanigans
Here's a quick nutter story from the Frisco mayoral election. It was between normal person Mark Hill, an attorney and longtime Frisco ISD trustee, and Rod Vilhauer, a retired construction company owner. Vilhaeur campaigned on preventing Muslims from buying large tracts of land, building any more mosques (there are two), and establishing Sharia law in Frisco. Far right Indian Hindus rallied to his campaign because they do not like Muslims, particularly Pakistanis, and agreed with him. Vilhauer was taken aback by this development, and stated publicly that he honestly didn't know that Indians were not Muslims, until they told him. He thought that he was campaigning against the Indian community in a city that is at least 45% Asian and South Asian. You can't make this stuff up! Thankfully, Hill won 59-42%.
This one is a real beaut, Michelle!!! I saved it to post on bsky until just now.
Nutters is perfect! Jonathan Swan doing the book tour w/ Maggie Haberman on MSNOW reminded me of another Britishism I'd forgotten which is often useful. "Sweet f___ All!!!"
That's precisely what many you described know about WAY too many things.
I'm eagerly awaiting your Wed post & have 'advertised' it a bit on my bsky post.
Thank you! I will continue to read all the comments about our convention & I thank you all for helping keep me aware.
Keep coming with the names.
I am ready for it! I need to laugh and not cry. Countdown is on.
Let’s get Kendall re elected (as well as more Progressives to keep fixing this state party). Then on to November.

I thought they already voted on that. Did it not pass?
I was just at the CD-24 meeting. I think they said it passed. They also said the count of RSVP's to the convention is now 8,700.

Ew.

I just love your descriptions of some of the Republicans! 🤣 “Three tacos short of a combo plate” is my new put-down when I need one!
Another favorite.
Thanks for the laugh, Michelle!

Wow
I am so put off by these people who are not from here in these offices.
Carpetbaggers are strange people.
I emailed you.
