Since When Did Playing Golf Make You Jeremiah Johnson?

In fact, they were doing a better job than the Republicans. Why? Because the Republicans in Texas are only doing what Donald Trump tells them to do. They didn’t put their big-boy panties on and decide what’s best for their people. They’re just doing whatever Donald Trump tells them to do — no better than lackeys…
A pair of rich oil men from West Texas decided to screw over the public schools there (the only game in town) and in Texas by pushing Abbott to push vouchers, which finally got over the line, 25 years after it failed spectacularly before. Public schools will lose money (they already have. Two years ago Abbott couldn’t get his vouchers, and school finance didn’t pass. He refused to call a special session to fix it, until he got his vouchers. Now school finance is going to vouchers.) The Texas GOP have been lackeys for decades. Our local GOP representatives told local school district representatives to pound sand in a private meeting two years ago over school finance. They don’t represent their constituents. This is nothing new.

But the voters figure: at least they ain’t Democrats. Welcome to Texas.
Really never get tired of hearing that said.
And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch? It’s jaw-dropping how precious and concerned the New York Post has suddenly gotten. How the Wall Street Journal board is like, “Oh no, we can’t have this.”

I mean, what I hope is that we’re exposing it all. I hope we’re entertaining some people.
They’re entertaining me. 😸

    American journalism under the freest press in history turns out to be remarkably like the North Korean journalism. I don't thin even Putin or the Iranian regime has such a sycophantic journalistic presence as we've got here.
