That Escalated Quickly

Probably Paxton putting Abbott up to this.
Abbott is at best a right-of-center GOPer, he is not a Trump acolyte. But he can read the general mood of the country, and of Texas citizens in particular.
The best I've ever been able to say about Abbott is that he can generally be persuaded (quotes might be implied) to do the right thing. My fervent wish is that someday "real soon now" he won't require persuading. Not gonna hold my breath, but as long as Paxton is directing things behind the scenes and Abbott stays out of his way, this might turn out for the best. Now if we could just get rid of Phelan in the TX house, life would be a bit better down here.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

He knows who is buttering his tortillas...
At a certain point, he's locked in.
Turning Quisling becomes a terminal moment.

And 25 states answer the call.
Glorious.
