San Antonio v El Paso - Shots Fired

Oh, man. 

Did you see what happened last night?

Some little guy named Julian Castro from San Antonio beat-up on y'alls boy, Roberto O'Rourke. 

First, San Antonio took Sea World from y'all.

Now, it is San Antonio's third-rate presidential candidate that beats up on your second-rate presidential candidate.

The worse part of that exchange between Castro and Roberto was that it was about immigration.

Beto can see Mexico from his house.  One of his besties is married to an immigration judge.  This shit should be home field for Roberto.  

But no. 

The guy that looks like the busboy that last shook hands with RFK before RFK got popped schooled y'alls boy.

When does it end, El Paso?

 

Vero and Beto

I gotta dumb question.

Did your CongressX, Veronica Escobar, endorse Beto as a presidential candidate? 

If not, what's the hold up?

If she has...ok, cool.

 

Is Mary Leaving?

Below is a picture of Texas Tech officials and members of your delegation announcing funding for your new dental school.

Notice anything?

 

Your delegation's only budget-writing legislator - Mary Gonzalez - is NOT there.

You would think of all people she would be there to celebrate her achievement.  And rightfully so.

But she is not. 

Wat means?

Short of some announcement that she will be running for re-election, this absence just might mean she is not coming back.

So if you want to get ahead of the game now, I would just start calling Claudia Ordaz "State Representative".

 

 

 

Tariffs! OH NOES!!!

I used to be a free-trade whore.  

But less so now especially when the rest of the world does not exactly play fair.  

As Ralph Nader would say...we have managed trade, not free trade.  

But I am not coming from the angle of "worker's rights".

No, I am come from trade at very different angle. 

I have seen my nephew's bedroom. 

It is littered with toys.  

A bunch of cheap plastic shit that gets cycled out rather quickly.  

And a good chunk of it comes from...the Middle Kingdom.  

All these toys will end up in the landfill. 

But for free-trade jerkoffs, they do not care about tomorrow.  They just care about right now.  

"You are going to fuck over consumers if you trade WAR the land of China!"

Maybe we need a trade war. 

Not so much to shore-up industry at home, but maybe we need to spend a little less.  

"You want the economy to fail!"

On one hand, that is what Trump detractors want.  They want a bad economy to improve their chances of fucking over our President.

But on the other hand, those same Trump detractors all say the economy is not working anyways for the majority of Americans.  

I know. 

They can't get their shit straight.  

Either way, we talk about people not making ends meet and blah blah blah.  

Well, maybe if some things were a little out-of-reach just maybe we might live within our means.
