"Destroy the left?"

Isn't the role of the Attorney-General of any state to uphold the laws of his/her commonwealth, protect all its citizens from harm, and seek justice for victims?

"The former Justice Dept apparatchik for the nefarious Trumpf junta has fantasized about wearing "OAG emblazoned windbreakers" while raiding any public institution "pushing tranny insanity," "run out all Kwanzaa-aligned elements poisoning our state," and launch "counter-jihad" against Muslim groups. Reitz recently threatened to revoke House Democratic leader Rep. Gene Wu's citizenship, and sparked pushback for his comments on the "invasion" of Indians to Texas."

Muslim-Americans make up a scant 1.34% of the entire US population. That's it. Per capita, there are more turban-wearing Sikhs in Canada than Muslims in America. Where does all this hysterical Islamophobia come from and why? Link: Islamophobic Texas

Oil-rich Texas: Blames minorities, executes convicts, allows proselytization in the classrooms, hates Muslims and LGBTQ people, lets firearms kill thousands of people a year, and takes more money from Washington DC every year than it sends in. And the Lone Star State automatically gives America two sickening Republican US Senators every six years. Texas: The gift that keeps on giving.

The GOP campaign commercials in my part of Texas are fear-mongering sharia law.

As if sharia law has any attraction to the phalanxes of Baptists that live here.

As if Muslims aren't rarer than snowmen in July.

It takes NOTHING to make some people, lots of people, deathly afraid.

Do you MAGA ever become ashamed at what wussies you are?

The Muslim population of Texas is approximately 313,000 people or 1.1% of the state's total population; 1.34% is the total Muslim population in the US. By average the Lone Star State has less than the rest of the US.

The Islamophobia is out of control.

Faux News, AIPAC, One America News Network, Larry and David Ellison's CBS, Laura Loomer, et al and ad nauseum have done a remarkable job of hatemongering.

Well, gotta keep the weapons and money flowing to Israel somehow, I guess.

All the Republicans in Texas seem to take AIPAC money, some way more than others.

House Democrat Jasmine Crockett (TX 30 CD) takes no AIPAC money but votes to send money and weapons to Israel every chance she gets. Why she has no compassion for the 72,000 killed in Gaza is anyone's guess.
