"YOU MUST ALLOW US TO BE CRUEL TO CHILDREN!"
And yet these people keep getting re-elected.
Baffling.
And yet these people keep getting re-elected.
Because children don't vote /S
But in reality, kids that grow up in abusive atmospheres also go on to abuse others. It's a vicious cycle.
They represent the values of the people who vote for them. Keep that in mind.
And actually, if you read the bolded part, it's very interesting what they are suing on and I think it could set a good precedent if they get thrown out, but I'm worried that they won't
They represent the values of the people who vote for them
Given how low the voting turnout has been in the last decade or 2, that is far from a majority of the population.
Aren't they essentially saying they are okay with this type of bullshit? If they were not, they would vote him out.
What they're saying to me is they DGAF about how the city/state/country is run.
Not only that but Paxton was voted in again after being known to be a scammer. He still has pending cases with the FBI. Yet Republicans in Texas do not give a shit.
Because they always twist everything into a conspiracy. I'm sure they think he's only being investigated by the FBI because of a "political witch hunt."
FFS Texas stop it.
I'm so embarrassed that I'm represented by these hateful people.
Same, homie. Same. As a Texan, I'm consistently pissed.
Texas: 0 days since last embarrassment
And it will be 0 tomorrow
This summer, I am taking my Master's in Math along with my 17 years of experience as a secondary math teacher and college instructor and moving to Portland with my trans teen. Sorry y'all, but we're just fucking done. She is going to be happy, god damnit, and I won't rest until she is.
Fuck that pug-faced little bitch pissbaby.
Our entire local government needs to just be gone
