Are you drunk?

Just an ever more emboldened asshole with each day. That's all the heel diggers have left. Oh, that and their fake facebook profiles... dumb enough to be republicans... smart enough not to let their IRL friends know they swallow orange kak...

I'd be more than interested to see how the same rubric would play out in California or Oregon or New York.

This thing with a 15 member "Volunteer Work Group" recommending what version of history the state's kids are going to learn seems to compel the question: "just who picked this group of "volunteers" in the first place?"

Who knew there was so much snow in TX?

Are they going to complain about the removal of confederate honoring statues from public spaces and how it's erasing history now?

Gee, let me think... The Texas Schoolbook Depository, famous for (if you believe the history books) being the place where the shots were fired that killed the last assassinated president of the USA and severely injured Texas' governor . Now maybe home to expurgated history nouveaux. Makes you wonder just what kind of fantasy land Texas might be.

How is first woman to be nominated by a major party in a presidential election not really notable? She's the first woman in the history of the union to accomplish that. That is a significant milestone for women's equality.
And she lost by a whisker, won the popular vote. But for some wacky twists of fate and the influence of nefarious sinister forces (Russian meddling certainly included) she'd be right now the POTUS. There's major devilish work going on in this country to keep people in denial, make no mistake.

The Texas Board of Education is to education what the current EPA is to the environment, so no surprise it is once again bringing politics and a culture war/victim mentality to the table.

Hillary, after all, did said several mean things about Putin, and we can't have that kind of disrespect for Trump's superior being exposed to children.

If Texas wants to seceed from the nation I won't lift a finger to prevent it. Let 'em go down like Slim Pickens on an H-bomb, beatin' their own ass with a cowboy hat and goosin' the boomer with their shit-kickers, all juiced on their cheap 'merican tequila.

First lady in a two-term presidency? First woman from a major party to win a primary and run in a federal election?

At best, you're exhibiting mindless partisanship; at worst, you're a sexist asshole. Take your pick... at least one of them is absolutely true.

She hasn't done anything significant, she and that jackass trump had no right to run for president. The fact this pisses off scum and filth like you is good.

Don't forget to clean the spittle off your monitor occasionally.

But for sure please tell us more about how these two candidates were legally disqualified from running for president.

Texas proves once again it is the home to people who should be replaced by Mexicans or any other culture not invested in the culture of dumbassery.

Well, it's Texas..

Family trees don't have forks in Texas.

Oh, nothing aside from becoming of the most active First Ladies in history, serving as both Senator and Secretary of State and shattering the gender barrier among major presidential candidates. Just those little things.

Sexist asshole. She's done more in a day than you'll accomplish in your entire life.

I guess that's a valid point - but at the same time that can be summed up in about 2 sentences, right? There isn't exactly much history there? First woman to get nominated by a major party. First woman to lose after said major nomination. That and "first woman" can be said for anything.

It's not like they are leaving out some smashing huge historical event.

Don't get me wrong though, overall it is stupid if this article is true. Part of me honestly sniffs some BS though.

not all of texas is totally backwards. it has some redeeming areas :p

i do lament whenever a texas senator/representative says something ridiculous (which is often). this state at times seems just barely better than florida, but that's not exactly a high bar. i will definitely be voting to try and change that in november :D

Yeah, neither was born in the USA. Trump in fact was born outside Moscow, is the illegitimate son of Putin's uncle.
