If you thought Texas Republican lawmakers couldn't be bigger assholes, you'd be wrong.

Dan Patrick, #2 asshole in the State is at it again.

“Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has launched a legislative initiative to ban all THC from being sold in Texas.
Senate Bill 3 will be legislation banning all forms of consumable Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, from being sold in Texas.
"Everyone knows that agriculture is part of the fabric of Texas. In 2019, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1325, by Rep. Tracy King, R-Uvalde, to bolster agriculture in Texas. Part of that bill allowed for the commercialization of hemp which might include un-removable non-intoxicating trace amounts of Delta 9 THC," said Patrick in a news release.”

1. Yet they do seem to keep "winning."

3. I used to believe that here were more good people in the world

than awful ones.

I no longer believe that.

It is a real loss, knowing that cruelty and greed will win most of the time. My circle has shrunk to only those who I absolutely know are decent humans. It is a very small number of people.

6. I still believe it, but I sure can't prove it.

4. Texas Republicans would vote for a cowpie if it had an "R" after it's name.

They’re just that indoctrinated. Facts, logic, consequences all mean nothing to them as long as no “Lib” holds office.

2. Will Rogan and Musk protest?

I’m sure they’ll be fine.

7. Sure, they'll just have a flunky drive up to Oklahoma for some stash.

Easy peasy.

5. Well, they get what they deserve in Texas..

Putting people in jail for possession is part of keeping Texas great.

8. We love us some prisons here, that's for sure!

Even gonna donate 1500 acres for TSF’s concentration camp on the border!

9. It's hard for me to say this without spitting out my coffee

But Oklahoma is more enlightened. Medical marijuana, with restrictions, is legal there.
