Things getting testy in Texas!

Texas voters: You don’t have to like Democrats, but you do have to vote Republicans out


Since Gov. Greg Abbott took office, my property taxes have nearly tripled. His administration wastes billions on ineffective border initiatives and turns away billions for Medicaid expansion. Through our property taxes, urban homeowners bear the cost of providing health care to the 18% or so of Texans who don’t have insurance. Independents and reasonable Republicans: You don’t have to be a Democrat. You don’t have to like Democrats. But you must vote for Democrats this fall to rid Texas of Greg Abbott and his wrecking crew. They’ve run Texas for 22 years, and they’ve run it right into the ground.

Don't believe Trump and the GOP: Biden and the Democrats are winning
The fight for Democrats to maintain control of the Senate isn't lost yet.

The Senate?? The GOP has already thrown that away with their bad Trump endorsed candidates. GOP had decent shots at Dem held seats in AZ, GA, NH and NV, but threw away any chance in AZ, GA which should have been a lock is leaning toward Warnock, NH and NEV are still tossups. But the real problem is holding Republican seats in OH, PA and WI. So at this point I expect the Dems to pick up 1-3 seats.

The house however will go GOP.

I wonder how many missiles, rockets, bombs, etc. are in the bottom of the ocean? You always here about all these countries testing weapons. They all have to go somewhere.

What about ships sunk while at war, pretty sure they had weapons that were unexploded when they went down.

Ships is another good question. Even ones without bombs. Just the total number.

The bottom of all the oceans would be an amazing thing to see. And likely also quite depressing.

Good read for my liberal friends here.

Loved the intro - Trump wanted his military parade to be free of crippled soldiers - because he thought it would make him look bad. That guy definitely had his finger on the pulse. I can't believe the generals didn't honor his request! I don't like seeing cripples either, they gross me out. I prefer soldiers who didn't die or lose a body part in battle.

Not only for Liberals. I sent that to my Trumpy (who denies he's Trumpy) co-worker today. We've known and discussed about much of the stuff for years. They didn't even bring up the comment about soldiers being suckers in this article. This is the primary reason I could never vote for Trump and will vote for Biden again, even as bad as he is as a President, if Trump is his opponent.

I'd be interested in Chico's comments on this article.

Too remind you of how stupid you were to elect him and how stupid you are to want him back!

Agreed. I don't think it's just for Liberals. It's probably a decent read for anyone who may fall outside the Trump 'cult-like' circle.

I really liked Mattis...

The military - Generals in particular - were put in impossible situations during his Presidency, but overall I think they handled it the best they could...as you would expect most Generals to do.
