I hear that Texas is going downhill politically… but then, I hear stories like this one.
Mess in Texas: A Theocracy That Enshrines White, Male Power
By John Casey, 2 September 2021
Sounds good to me.
What is going on in Texas has many likening it to a third-world country… Governor Greg Abbott, a Trump minion and prot?g?, is trampling over freedoms and laws in the state in an effort to pass legislation that makes Texas arguably less tolerant than North Korea or Iran, and that is saying an awful lot.
That DOES sound good. What’d they do to earn this cat puke… ban abortion or something?
Yesterday, Texas’s new abortion law went into effect, essentially making abortion illegal after six weeks.
They DID ban abortion!!!
Many women don’t even know they’re pregnant at six weeks, and the law makes zero exceptions in the cases of rape or incest. What makes this law even more warped and evil is that Texans are now charged with being abortion vigilantes. They can report anyone who is seeking an abortion, and with a cash reward of $10,000 if the person is convicted.
THEY CRIMINALIZED THE WOMEN SEEKING ABORTIONS!!! What I’ve been saying for years! Sweet!
And just in time for “Labor Day”, haha!
This is absolutely monstrous. And speaking of monsters, the Supreme Court in a midnight decision voted to uphold the law, predictably with Alito, Gorsuch, Coney-Barrett, Thomas, and Kavanaugh in the majority.
Aww, does poor widdle red diaper doper baby not like government happening in the middle of the night? Who did those conservatives get such an undemocratic idea from?
Trying to have the court appear somewhat even, anti-abortion Chief Justice John Roberts voted in the minority. This means, for all intents and purposes, that abortion is illegal in the state of Texas . the second largest state in our country. The implications of this, not just for Texas, but for abortion rights, will be catastrophic.
I.m not a lawyer, but I can differentiate between thoughtful and nonsensical writing. If you read the majority opinion, it blathers on like some irrational run-on sentence. If you’re interested, and you have a bucket and Pepto-Bismol nearby, you can read it here.
I’m not a lawyer but unlike a bureaucrat, I can understand concepts that I’m not professionally licensed to understand.

The applicants now before us have raised serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law at issue. For example, federal courts enjoy the power to enjoin individuals tasked with enforcing laws, not the
laws themselves… it is unclear whether the named defendants in this lawsuit can or will seek to enforce the
Texas law against the applicants in a manner that might permit our intervention…
…Neither it nor its executive employees possess the authority to enforce the Texas law either directly or indirectly.
Nor is it clear whether, under existing precedent, this Court can issue an injunction against state judges asked to decide a lawsuit under Texas’s law… Finally, the sole private-citizen respondent before us has filed an affidavit stating that he has no present intention to enforce the law.
Translation from lawyer-ese, the plaintiffs demanding the law be stopped didn’t have standing before SCOTUS, also, SCOTUS can’t pronounce on state/local legislation.
The abortion ban is great and the precedent of federal courts not having authority over state courts could be earth-shattering.
More feminist cat puke, please!
End segue
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was ruthless, and rightfully so, in her dissent. .The court’s order is stunning,. she wrote. .Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand..
Where in the Constitution is abortion? Nowhere.
Abbott has done anything but bury his head in the sand. He has been flagrantly and sinisterly busy this summer doing his best impression of Kim Jung-un. Abbott has called special sessions of the state government throughout the summer in an effort to pass bills and proposals that severely erode freedoms in the state, trample on civil and LGBTQ+ rights, and ignore the protection of the state’s citizens from COVID-19 and the Delta variant.
Together, with the state’s authoritarian-friendly legislature, they passed restrictions on vaccine and face-mask requirements in schools. This as states around the country send more than 8,000 contract health care workers as hospitalizations from COVID-19 in Texas approach the record set last winter. This is all being paid for by the state’s taxpayers, who are ending up sick in record numbers. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to encourage people to get the vaccine and wear a mask?
Yay Texas! You did a thing! Now ban contact tracing, suspend elections and then make room for one last American fleeing Commieland!
And how is the no mask mandate working? Consider what’s going on at the Humble Independent School District in Texas, where masks are optional, and which violates a local mask ordinance. Instead, school officials told CNN the district is following Abbott’s pandemic-related executive order banning school mask mandates, and since the start of the school year, more than 1,800 Humble students and 350 staff have tested positive for the virus.
In related news, 2,150 more people are naturally immune to Covid.
If COVID doesn’t kill off half of Texas, the new voting rights laws will shut out the voices of many in the state. The new laws, which Democrats in the state’s lower house went to great lengths to scuttle, are considered the strictest in the country.
And we check off election de-frauding, too.
YEEAH TEXAS!!!
But don’t worry, feminists! Covid will kill them all! It’s already spreading, right? They’re all going to die within a month, wheezing their regrets on a ventilator, right?
Yeah, bitches, even you don’t believe that Covid is a killer. You’ll never admit it… but you aren’t laughing at them for not following “the science” either, now are you?
According to the Texas Tribune, once the bill is signed into law, there will be stricter rules for voting by mail, no drop off boxes, increased protections for partisan poll watchers, and a rollback of local voting initiatives meant to make it easier to vote. These are squarely aimed at abolishing rules implemented by Harris County, where the city of Houston is located, that made it easier for people of color to vote.
Future 2022 headline: “Alt-Right Not-Sees sweep Texas elections, hang Socialist traitors to America. Women most affected!”
The dogmatic Abbott also signed a divisive bill that advocates how Texas teachers can talk about current events and America’s history of racism. Texas is one of a few states across the country that have passed such legislation, which aims to ban the teaching of “critical race theory” in public school classrooms.
It’s like Christmas in September!
Finally, Texas is one of the least hospitable states for LGBTQ+ individuals. Gender identity is not included in the hate crime law, and even though federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, there is no statewide law banning anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
And no law banning pro-LGBT discrimination… but liberals can’t be happy with coexistence… so they want to force the issue… might not go the way they want.
And while the state legislature failed to pass broad bans on trans-related medical care, they are still considering a bill to restrict transgender student athletes. In regard to the medical treatments, Abbott is brazenly working around the law. Last month, he asked a state agency to decide whether allowing transgender kids to have gender-confirmation surgeries is child abuse; a false flag since such surgeries are not performed on minors. Unbelievable.
It was barely a decade ago that you feminists were crying at the Taliban for child genital mutilation. Now it’s the latest trendy civil right to be discovered over Thomas Jefferson’s dead body.
Actually, all of this is unbelievable, unfathomable, unthinkable, and incomprehensible.
Mmm. Your whine is sweeter than strawberries on a summer afternoon slice of cheesecake.
According to Bloomberg, these new draconian laws have forced businesses and chambers of commerce to step up in protest, not only against the narrowing of voting rights and the anti-mask mandates, but also to demonstrate their inclusive values, and these include Hewlett Packard Inc., Microsoft Corp. and American Airlines Group Inc.
We.ll see how far corporate America goes to punish Texas for all their discriminatory work.
Wow. We Manosphere types have already been calling out the Fascism taking over the United States… but here’s a named feminist shill calling on his corporate lords TO OVERTHROW A STATE GOVERMENT. Texas, no less.
If you put all of what’s happening in Texas together, under Abbott’s leadership and the consent of the Republican legislators, it’s barbaric, anti-American, anti-Democratic, and anti-everything else.
Anti-New World Order. Anti-Great Reset. Anti-Lizard Queen. Anti-Satan. But pro-Christ!
The Texas governor and legislatures are taking the state back to the 1950s, when people of color were prevented from voting…
No.
…when white history was indoctrinated…
Yes.
…when LGBTQ+ people were forced to hide their sexuality and true gender…
Do they even know their true gender? That Q is for questioning.
…and when there was no treatment for an avian virus the killed millions worldwide.
Yeah, H1N1 was kinda bad. Oh, wait.
All of this is meant as a last gasp effort to keep the white man in control of a populous that they prefer to be in ill-health, ill-informed, and ill-equipped. The recent Census data about the diminutive growth of whites, and the increase in Latinos and people of color have scared the bejesus out of the white angry men in charge of the state.
So they admit it. In a fit of rage at one state out fifty slipping their noose just for an hour, they spill the beans.
