Democrats Take Control Of Washington Legislature Meanwhile In Texas...

Saw that which you see here this morning via the Seattle Times.

A Democrat with an unusual name defeated a Republican with an unusual name, in a district which had been reliably Republican, with this Democrat win giving Democrats control of the Washington State Senate, and thus control over both the Washington House of Representatives and the Washington State Senate.

And the Washington Governorship.

We can only hope this result is a harbinger of the near future for the rest of America, saving us from the Idiocracy and its False Orange God and his worshiping Basket of Deplorables.

Washington's Governor Inslee says with this Democrat win he plans to initiate an ambitious climate change agenda, whatever that means.

We can hope that this further swing to the Washington left means my old home state will be increasing its leadership role as one of America's most progressive, liberal states.

Meanwhile in Texas...

In Texas, this morning, via Facebook, regarding Tuesday's election, I read a Texan comment that "Wish cannabis law reform would happen here, but Texas is so assbackwards it will never happen."

Texas will continue to be assbackwards, compared to the progressive states, as long as Texas continues to elect morons to state and national office. How can this be the same state which gave America LBJ, Sam Rayburn, Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and other intelligent, progressive, liberal, decent-minded leaders, and now is the state which foists the embarrassing likes of Ted Cruz, John Cronyn, Rick Perry, Kay Granger and Greg Abbott on America, to name a few of the Texas embarrassments?

But, there is hope in Texas, a lot of hope. I have met a lot of Texans who are not morons, who are embarrassed by the assbackwards embarrassment Texas has become. Methinks the non-moron Texans are going to soon be back in control of this formerly great state.

This morning I read a letter to the editor of a Texas newspaper lamenting the idiot Texas elected governor...

‘Idiotic response’ from governor

I don’t think we’ll ever hear a more idiotic response concerning this past weekend’s tragedy than from our cowardly governor.

Obviously scared of offending the NRA, and losing the financial support given by them, Greg Abbott dropped the responsibility of preventing these tragedies squarely on “more prayer and forging a stronger connection with God?”

That’s his answer for dealing with this kind of tragedy? No mention of tightening up and enforcing gun laws? That’s the same “thoughts and prayers” route that our nation’s legislative branch has been using in dealing with this for years. That doesn’t seem to be working very well.

My old home state of Washington has not been immune from the national tragedy of senseless mass shootings, though, so far, not on the Texas, Vegas scale. If, after one of the Washington senseless shootings Washington's governor said something so idiotically stupid as suggesting preventing such required more prayer and forging a stronger connection with God I can pretty much guarantee that that idiot governor would be scorned with a scorn level which would have him laughed out of office and the state.

Meanwhile in Texas...
