They Don't Love Texas They Love The Sound Of Their Own Voices

Republicans hijack a mental health bill to rant about genitals, again

There are only 12 days left of this legislative session. Thank goodness, because I am SO over these ridiculous Republicans. How ridiculous are they? Yesterday, a bill came up to expand and enhance the state’s loan repayment program for mental health professionals in Texas. And the Brainworm Brigade (led by Steve Toth, this time) turned it into a fight about children’s private parts.

Ridiculous and sick.

If you have to see it to believe it:


God forbid we do something useful in this state.

SB646 is a bill about loan repayment for mental health professionals, literally just a program to help get counselors into schools and rural clinics where they’re desperately needed. We’re talking about counties where there isn’t a single licensed psychiatrist, where kids in crisis have nowhere to turn, and where suicide is one of the leading causes of death for teens.

But instead of addressing that, Rep. Steve Toth and the Brainworm Brigade decided to hijack the conversation and turn it into a fever dream of “social transitioning,” cross-sex hormones, WPATH conspiracies, and the horror of school counselors doing their jobs.

1. They are quite happy to be cruel and obnoxious to anyone

that dares not submit to their ignorance and stupidity. It has been a slow progression for the last 30 years and will continue until the people of Texas stop electing these disgusting human beings.

The first and easiest way to change this State is for people to get out of the beer-joints, the mega-churches, and music festivals and VOTE. We have some of the lowest voter turnout in the nation. Not surprisingly, these people like Abbott, Paxton, Cruz, Patrick are more than glad to dictate to them how to live and act unless they stop supporting their re-election.

It is so sad to see Texas turn into such a shithole over the last 3 decades but it is real and the evidence is your face.

I'm embarrassed to be a Texan...and no I'm not leaving or going to thump your self-righteous bible.
