So he's playing dress up, what a child.

Telorand , in Texas Republican vows to pass bill on Ten Commandments in public schools

Bet, Dan. You know that bill in Louisiana is going to get thrown out, and that's why the Speaker you hate so much won't bring the Texas version to a vote.

They already put "In God We Trust" in classrooms. 10 more years there will be nothing but scripture on the walls if we don't get our shit together.

Spoiler : We won't.

In 20 years time the south will look like the handmaid's tale.

Telorand ,

I disagree, but only because giving into cynicism helps them win, and that's not something I'm willing to do. I would rather be optimistically deluded and try than apathetically complicit and give up.

And based on the voting numbers in Texas, "apathetic" sums up voter turnout for the most part. Vote, y'all.

Im willing to bet money that if more people simply vote wont turn the trajectory of the state around. There is waaayyyy more conservitives that you think. Texas is destined to be a conservitive shithole. Rather try and get out than try and make a change cause this state aint worth it anyway.

Telorand ,

I understand, but I'm unfortunately financially tied for the next few years. Moved here as a Christian fundie planting a church, now left the religion and stuck here for a while.

So I gotta make due with what I've got. When life gives you lemons, make lemonades.

isaz , in Family of taekwondo instructors saves Texas woman from sexual assault

Around 4 p.m. in an open store a sexual assault in broad daylight? How glad I am to not live in such places!

atx_aquarian , in What are you having?
@atx_aquarian@lemmy.world avatar

Ranch water made from Topo Chico lime + Pantalones Tequila. But I prefer the black peppery hints of Don Julio, so I tried dropping a few whole black peppercorns in the bottle of Pantalones, and I think it actually got the flavor closer to where I wanted it. Or maybe it was in my head.

Anyways, cheers!

I live near here, the cops were probably very busy running radar guns around town and took a while to deal with something as unimportant as sexual assault.(this is sarcasm)

But An’s dad, a taekwondo grand master, held down the attacker for 10 minutes until law enforcement arrived, he said.

Wow, the police are pretty quick in that area!

Eww me too

qarbone , in It just somehow makes sense

Makes sense for this being a Texas community. None of yall are okay and your opinions are deranged

TexMexBazooka ,

You just generalized a state larger than most countries, even worse, you did it in a community of people that are the most likely to want things to change for the better.

Shut the fuck up and take the bigotry elsewhere

TexMexBazooka ,

I agree about inept and malicious leadership, I’m telling you not to be an asshat to the population that doesn’t agree with that leadership, especially if you want anybody to take your side on anything.

A good rule in life: don’t be a dick

qarbone ,

A'ight. Cheers, have a good one.

I don't think it tastes like that. which barbeque sauce? maybe the kind I'm thinking of is different

That is wild. Dodged us here in Houston, despite the warnings. At least the hill country got a little wet, I know y'all needed it out that way.
