Why is "hot wheels" and Orange Adolf letting this happen in the people's republic of Texas?

Republicans in Texas are more concerned about Sharia Law -- from Muslims who are 1.43% of the US population -- is taking over the country.
Never mind screwworm, environmental problems, or gun control. In an average year, 4,471 people die and 7,726 are wounded by firearms in Texas.
These are wartime casualty amounts.
In 1965 Vietnam, 1,928 US servicemembers were KIA in combat.
The Lone Star State sees twice as many gun-related fatalities in a year than a combat zone.

Texas is a combat zone.
The old, frontier Texans strove for generations to get past that.

"When you have 15 cows with screwworms, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."

You know i have been told from the highest authority that if you would just stop with the testing this would not be even a problem.

Has been since Biden was elected, but it's getting better now that the border is sealed.

Biden? He was worse than Obama? But ... Obama took your guns!
Also, when you write, "now that the border is sealed." What exactly does that mean and how was it achieved?
I don't want to call you a stupid ------- liar. I really don't want to.
But, here we are, and I'm not sure what the alternative is.

No, he didn't take anyone's guns.... He just made them more expensive.

Stupid idiots did.
Out of fear America would run out of guns, conservatives bought every gun they saw.
You voting for 7th generation Texan and good human being, James Talarico?
Or you gonna support the pedo cult and vote for Ken Paxton?
I've got money on you voting for Paxton.

This guy is just another bag of hot air. Here's his list of priorities, with not one single detail of how he intends to accomplish any of it. Pie in the sky politician who outright lies about his donations right there on his official page.
No go ahead and make your excuses for this clown.

I knew you supported Ken Paxton as soon as I found out he supports and defends pedophiles.
They're your people.
The worst people in America.

Because Ken Paxton supports and defends pedophiles.
But maybe that's not a good reason.
After all. You're still a Trumper.
Raping children really doesn't bother you.

Ken Paxton (R) is a Texas member of the Epstein Administration, a cabal of sexual perverts, pedophiles, pederasts, white supremacists, and blasphemers.

These are the qualities republicans, like Turds, want from their elected representatives.
People just like them who share their values.

You could not support someone like Talarico.
You would have to have actual morals and care about pragmatic governance, religious morality in politics, and localized economic relief.
Maybe learn to care about someone other than yourself and get some morals first and then ask us to tell you why.

(But then you'd already know why you should support him and you would not even need to ask).

Well, Paxton's another sociopath. But you've proven yourself comfortable with that sort of thing, so you be you.

This is a difficult ask for most people.
But absolutely impossible for Trump supporters.

Depending on how badly this spreads, expect beef prices to climb higher.

Yeah, beef prices will go higher. Because Texas ranchers are having cattle die.
Tell me that you understand this.

It's almost like putting a ketamine fueled sociopath in charge of cutting government programs was a bad idea.
Just saying.
Everything Pedo47 does is f***ed.
The most incompetent administration ever.

Don't forget a pedophile rapist protector so he fits perfectly in MAGA culture.
