 Oh JHChrist, they are praying at the Texas Paxton Impeachment Trial.

Dan Patrick is now explaining this is SOP in the Texas Legislature.

No Separation of Fundamentalist Evilgelical Charismatic Charlatanism and State in the Corrupt State of Texas.

Simple answer, "Third Party Spoliers" kiboshed two elections in Pauly LePew's favor.

One such Spoiler received GOP funds, coincidentally. Maine fixed that with instituting RCV, Rank Choice Voting.

Like Vermont, Maine is a predominantly white state. 98%+/-

Native Americans & POC make up the other 2%+/-.

We had the Koch Brothers Tea-Party supplied, "America's Craziest Governor" for 8 years. He was renowned for racially biased pronouncements.

One of my co-workers, (pre-retirement Maine) used to rail about the 'Welfare folk'.

I shared with him the actual statistics, that 98% of those receiving benefits were Elderly, Children, & People with disabilities, & white.

Ronny Raygun along with Lee Atwater were successful with their "Southern Strategy" in coded dog whistles, "Welfare Queens" are black.

Yes, Qevin admitted the quiet part on the Hannity Show. That was the first time he was voted off "Speaker Island".

After having found the Immunity Idol during his visit to MAGA Lardo, Qevy thought he was safe from being voted out of the tRUMP tribe.

Qevin contradicts himself at tRUMP speed.
