BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.

A New Low in Americans’ Capacity to Think

Published

Many Americans believe that the water delivered to our homes in five-gallon plastic containers brought to us in diesel-powered trucks is the best way to keep them hydrated.

Every ounce of water in the United States exceeds all potability standards.

Reverse osmosis filters that cost a couple hundred dollars installed under our kitchen sinks purify that water to even higher standards.

Not sure who’s stupid enough to think they need “Primo.”
