Sobriety is my specialty (6 years, IG: soberassociation). Alcoholism (and drunk driving) is such a problem, especially in Austin and rural Texas. But we refuse to tax it further (low alcohol excise taxes), and still promote the heck out of alcohol businesses. My Senator, Schwertner (R), was arrested for DWI last year
This has been said by many people : I paraphrase John Stoher
"Instead of leading public opinion, the Democrats outsource that risk and responsibility to an amoral ......press corps that we can only hope will communicate,accurately and in good faith, all the harms done by the Republicans. "
what we might want to do is like protest...go stand in front of these odious characters home with a sign..when their kids are coming home from school.......oh no i can hear the cries from Dems..."thats bad form"
it thinks it less about decorum and more about we are just too lazy to protect our democracy
Every one has stories in their counties...In my county I couldn't get one Party officer to post 1 critical comment on the FB or X regarding our Jewish and MAGA wanna-be Congressman........He coasted to victory having never been asked how can u belong to the "Jews will not replace us' party" along with all the other anti-semites in MAGA . No one would take the 45 second it took to post...i even composed the post.......
Especailly in rural counties i don't think they can get away with being a wreckless drunk...if someone will make an issue of it.....
Sigh. Thank you for this, Michelle. I knew they were all evil as hell, but I didn’t know that they were also drunk and stupid.
Yep, all of the above.
while u were sleeping , sinister actors afoot
kind of like in the Warsaw ghetto
