didn't ban airplanes. But I have to take off my belt and hold up my fucking pants before walking into a time machine just to get on the plane. right after I dumped the water out of my Yeti.
And took anything in a semi-liquid form and put it in a sandwich bag.
By the way - why can't we all just take our guns on the plane? 2nd amendment rights and all...
Same reason you can't smoke.
Is there a constitutional amendment protecting my right to smoke?
You can bring a gun on a plane though. Has to be checked luggage.
Lotta good that does me when a bad guy with a gun shows up on the plane.
I'm not understanding this. They check you baggage for that.
I'm being a smart ass because I'm pretty sick and tired of a bunch of scared mentally challenged idiots thinking they need to run around with a gun at all times in order to feel safe.
Funny - same asshats were telling people that wanted everyone to wear masks during a pandemic to just stay home if you are scared. I got that same message for those that need a gun-muscles.
That's one of my favorite things to laugh (so as not to cry) about. "Don't live in fear!" (armed with three guns at Wal Mart).

just a little contradictory isnt it?
from A Letter From An American for Sat June 18
“[T]he former president and his party are today a clear and present
danger for American democracy,” Luttig reiterated to NPR’s All Things
Considered.
And, as if in confirmation, delegates to a
convention of the Texas Republican Party today approved platform planks
rejecting “the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and
[holding] that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not
legitimately elected by the people of the United States”; requiring
students “to learn about the dignity of the preborn human,” including
that life begins at fertilization; treating homosexuality as “an
abnormal lifestyle choice”; locking the number of Supreme Court justices
at 9; getting rid of the constitutional power to levy income taxes;
abolishing the Federal Reserve; rejecting the Equal Rights Amendment;
returning Christianity to schools and government; ending all gun safety
measures; abolishing the Department of Education; arming teachers;
requiring colleges to teach “free-market liberty principles”; defending
capital punishment; dictating the ways in which the events at the Alamo
are remembered; protecting Confederate monuments; ending gay marriage;
withdrawing from the United Nations and the World Health Organization;
and calling for a vote “for the people of Texas to determine whether or
not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent
nation.”
Luttig said that Republicans must start speaking to
Democrats as ”fellow Americans that have a shared destiny and shared
hopes and dreams for America.” “We cannot have in America either
political party behaving itself like the Republican Party has since the
2020 election.”
My take is they are Pro Birth and after that you can all go fuck yourself unless you are a white Republican extremist.

The
delegates also called for the repeal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,
which was passed to end discrimination against Black Americans at the
polls.
Separately,a
party platform presented to convention delegates labeled homosexuality
“an abnormal lifestyle choice.” According to the Texas Tribune, the
platform also advocates for children to learn in school about “the
humanity of the preborn child,” promoting new messaging after the state
has taken steps to vastly restrict abortion.
And
less than a month after 19 children and two teachers were shot to death
at a Texas elementary school, convention delegates adopted a formal “rebuke” of Sen. John Cornyn (R) for engaging in bipartisan gun control talks. Attendees also loudlybooed himwhen he gave a convention speech Friday when he tried to explain potential legislation.
The convention resolutionsand platform carry no force of law butare
intended to serve as a mission statement for GOP activities in the
state for the next two years. It also offers a window into how the
Republican grass roots have been edging further to the right and how the
rejection of Biden’s 2020 election victory has become a key principle
for the party.
The
rhetoric on gay rights in particular represents a reversal after years
of growing comfort within the Republican Party with equal rights for gay
Americans and polls showing large majorities of voters now support
same-sex marriage while opposing discrimination.
It comes amid a surge in hate speech and violence directed at LGBTQ people and a new push among staunch conservative circles to attack even the mere mention of sexuality as somehow “grooming” children.
The Texas Tribune reported
that party delegates rejected an effort to soften the language on
homosexuality from a delegate who said it would not help the party.
“We
are the Republican Party of Texas, not the Westboro Baptist Church,”
the Tribune reported the delegate said, referring to the extremist
church whose members travel the country to hold anti-gay rallies at
public events. The Tribune said other delegates at the convention, which
lasted from Thursday to Saturday, laughed and booed at the comment.
Votes
from the more than 5,000 delegates in attendance on whether to formally
accept the language into the platform have not yet been tallied, but
party chairman James Wesolek said planks presented to delegates are
generally accepted.
The
party also blocked the Log Cabin Republicans, a long-standing group
representing gay Republicans, from having a booth at the convention, a
decision that drew a rebuke from Donald Trump Jr., who said in a
statement to Breitbart that it amounted to “canceling a group of gay
conservatives who are standing in the breach with us.”
Intraparty divisions were also on display ina
video circulated by right-wing personality Alex Stein showing Stein and
supporters accosting Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tex.) in a hotel hallway,
calling him traitor and “eyepatch McCain” — a slur coined by Fox News
personality Tucker Carlson. For months, Crenshaw, who wears an eyepatch
because of an injury sustained while serving as a Navy SEAL in
Afghanistan, has been heckledas a Republican in Name Only, or RINO, like deceased former senator John McCain.
In
response, Crenshaw tweeted, “This is what happens when angry little
boys like @alexstein99 don’t grow up and can’t get girlfriends.”
Although
a wide range of Republican figures stepped forward this weekend to
denounce the treatment of the elected official and military veteran,the confrontationwas
a reminder of internal divisions within the Republican Party and how
activists now reject even previously popular and loyal figures.

Sorry to be off topic, but does anyone know why I'm not seeing embedded Tweets, anymore?
I often don't see something where someone has obviously copied something there. I have no idea why. It seems random. Sometimes it will show up when I reload the page, sometimes it doesn't. But this only happens when I'm at work.

i saw a headline where texas gop did something to make it easier for them to secede from the union.
let them go. they would be giving up maybe 12 gop house seats and 2 senate seats. i'd gladly trade texas for new states of puerto rico and washington dc.

no need for a link, but the whack-a-doodle Eric Grietens campaign ad is just off the wall. or is it?
yeah that guy was my governor for awhile until he had to resign due to sexual assault accusations. the dumbasses in my state will probably elect him to whatever he is running for now.

This should be mentioned here. Read the end of Heather Cox Richardson's letter date June 20, 2022, the whole letter but especially the last two paragraphs. WTF next?
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

Where do you see that?
A quick look tells me that while red states tend to be "recipient states" and blue states tend to be "donor states," Texas appears to be a donor.

At Texas GOP convention, loyalists embrace far right, anti-gay rhetoric
