A classic backpedal by Abbott. Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner wasn’t “Just joking.” Kaepernick, the inflamed black Colon wouldn’t be the waterboy for the Dallas Cowboys. They love their county and their football more than they love protesting spoiled assletes. That schitt may fly in San Francisco, but not in…

See the thing is, the governor of Texas is one of the weakest in the country (if not the weakest outright). All he can really do is embarrass Texans and himself with his bad ideas. Which is why it was so darn funny when George W. Bush was able to jump from that largely decorative post to the presidency. The…

If you think Abbott is nuts you should learn about our Lt Governor Dan Patrick. In Texas the Lt. Governor has more actual power than the Governor in setting the legislative agenda. Patrick is about as crazy as Trump but is also a true believer in all that right wing crazy stuff. Never thought I would miss Rick Perry…

“It was intentional hyperbole to make a point: demonstrating the NFL’s own shortcoming of how they are disconnecting with their fan base by allowing players to disrespect the U.S. flag.”

He got a multi-million dollar judgement, makes about a half-million every year, and has championed pulling he ladder up behind him and making sure no one else isn’t helped by the laws that helped him. If it makes you feel any better, he has some 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his legs from spilling boiling water on…

I’ve been not-so-affectionately referring to Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick as “Wheels and the Legman” since the election. Makes me feel better about living in the state I live in...

I’m aware there is a difference, but to these idiots trying to impose laws on who poops where, it’s all the same. The rules are always about the gender on the birth certificate, so it would effect transgender as well as crossdressers.

The assholes who run Texas have never had a bigger boner than since Trump won. They consider it a free pass to unleash all the stuff they tried (and usually succeeded) to do sneakily ever since Texas stopped being run by the Dems.

I only attend sportsball games in a military town and there is usually some big military honor thing as part of the anthem (bringing guys/gals who just got home, etc), so I stand up lest I be considered rude. Even though I know that national anthem is not the military.

Seriously, stats show 3.5 million Americans identify as “transgender”? Which survey was that in?

I lived in Texas my whole life and never realized Greg Abbott was in a wheelchair until a few years ago (when I no longer lived in Texas). I guess him being so heartless and cruel, I didn’t expect he had ever overcome his own adversity.

He’s caught Trumpitis, the belief that you can just make crap up on the spot, and make your own rules, regardless of legality, and get away with it.

I thought it was obvious it was a joke/intentional hyperbole from the start? The issue wasn’t that we thought he was serious, it’s that it’s a weak argument, it’s insensitive, and it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison.

No, you misunderstand. He doesn’t want to keep politics out of football. He wants to keep football out of politics.

The super-rich will have to keep up the pretense that national politics might someday make a difference. Since economic decisions are their prerogative, they will encourage politicians of both the Left and the Right, to specialize in cultural issues. The aim will be to keep the minds of the proles elsewhere – to…

I’ve gotten so confused about where it’s permissible to pee. I keep urinating on Greg Abbott’s lawn, but judging by his reaction that’s not what he wanted. I only hope he’s not upset when he finds out where I’ve taken a shit.

“C’mon guys, that was obviously a joke. You know, like the Texans.”

Schrodinger’s Douchebag:

Why the uproar now?

I’m reminded of a story years ago about how Theo avoided arbitration at all costs. He didn’t want to ruin the organization’s relationship with a player by sitting in a room and arguing they aren’t worth much to the team.
