@BasedMikeLee Fuck no.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@rayagustin Too soon. 🤣

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@MajesticResists @jayhawk4life519 Or maybe a store that sells fine guitars.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@MajesticResists @jayhawk4life519 Or a camera store.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@westphillybabe @MsErline @_dottt_ … and we’ll-metered off camera flash.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@emilyebytx This is the correct take.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@brianeharrison @NateSchatzline @Burrows4TX Like last session? Where Democrats accomplished basically nothing?

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@GeoRebekah I learned how to produce a weekly long-form podcast during the pandemic. Kept it up for about 18 months — prepared for the interview, recorded the interview, edited the interview. It was very well received, at least on a regional basis. But it’s a ton of work for no pay.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

Yet, you want to give $1 billion to private orgs with no accountability and no transparency. True fiscal conservatism, this is not.

[Brian Harrison @brianeharrison]

Property taxes in Texas are unethical, out of control, and should be abolished.

But...

We must CUT SPENDING to do it.

We'll never eliminate property taxes if we keep increasing spending like both the House and Senate just proposed.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@sbellsnyder I’m NOT a conservative anything. But this is exactly how I view vouchers. I cannot believe that my father’s Republican Party is pushing for a scheme that will put hundreds of millions of dollars into a program with no accountability, no oversight, transparency. Unbelievable.

@JamesQuinteroTX @bearabe5 Given the vitriol coming out of part of the GOP, we don’t do much democracy at all.

I’m over here streaming the second season of Star Trek Discovery. We’ll return to the second season of Star Trek Prodigy tonight.

I know I’m supposed to pick a non need station to watch today.

Cartoon Network seems appropriate.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

Oh, shit

@politicscutie Hell, it’s 28 here and I’m on my back porch drinking coffee.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@ianbremmer Serious question, @ianbremmer, any chance of an Independent winning the White House in this political environment ?

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@sbellsnyder @JimGBoyle I hate to use foul language here, but this session will be a shit show.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

Will his be printed in Hebrew? Yiddish? You know, closer to the original text?

Texas lawmaker revives Ten Commandments in public school bill.

Let’s do it. https://t.co/VJ0A5eUFfC

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

@lyndonbajohnson I believe that this is the way. On the plus side, I’ve largely ignored news about him since the election and my blood pressure has gone down 20 points.

[WilCo Blues @richard2456]

This is the correct take. Pitchforks must be kept sharp; torches must be oiled.

Reminder: Wilks/Dunn puppets always knew they wouldn’t win Speaker, they just needed to create the false perception they could.

Their goal was not to actually prevail, but to perpetually create reasons to keep whining — bitching is the only reason they stay employed. #txlege
