Clay Bennett for March 23, 2024

I long for the days of Ann Richards.

And then there is Oklahoma, Texas little brother trying their best to copy them.

You ought to hear what the rest of the world thinks about your politics and politicians.

I wish there was a color Key to indicate the level badness!

Texass isn’t the worst. But it’s certainly in the bottom 10, probably 5.

I think TX and FL are trying to outdo each other.

Good luck finding an OB / GYN in that state, which declared war against women and health care professionals.

Fact check for the Fern Troll above, zombies are not actually real, in case you missed the memo.

If Texas is so bad, then why is it and Florida gaining electoral votes, when California and New York are losing electoral votes?

Then there’s Idaho, et. al.

No, I’m satisfied with government in Pennsylvania. I vote and keep up with politics.

There seems to be a competition between Red states for which one can take away the most freedoms and liberties, while rigging the election process. Can someone explain either why people put up with this or how people can turn this around? Texas and Florida would be 1a and 1b in this contest, with Arkansas, Idaho, Alabama, and Oklahoma close behind.

Alaska, Alabama, California, New York and Texas were the top five least desirable states. Oct 5, 2023

Google: what is the least desirable state to live in

Latest poll: Finland (a socialist country) voted happiest place on earth to live, 7 years in a row. United States fell from #15 to #23 falling behind Kuwait.

I guess.

I thought I’d miss Texas when we left in 2014; but it’s gotten so much worse that I miss only my friends. We’re in TN now, though, and the state government here is vying with TX for worst state in America. Vote Democratic in November PLEASE! Stop the movement towards a fascist USA because it’s the ONLY way we’ll be able to stop this plunge to rock bottom.

“Old People Should Volunteer to Die to Save the Economy”

dan patrick, lt. governor, texas, MARCH 24, 2020

What a truly texas, “let’s execute as many as we can, and then get volunteers” idea.

In case I forget tomorrow, happy anniversary, dipshlt

Rabid Red States……..Laboratories of Autocracy? or Christo-Fascist Political Movement?

California has some of the best natural beauty in the country, coupled with a desirable climate, yet people are leaving there. Texas is not a very beautiful state at all, and very hot in summer, yet people keep moving there. Hmmmmmmmm……..

I recently worked with a client who had relocated from Illinois. I asked her why she moved, one word, “taxes.” She said she saves at least $10,000 a year living in a free state and has a nicer home to boot!

Texas still has roughly 49% of non-republican voters. What’s sad, in texas and elsewhere where the elephants maintain control, is that they do it via egregious gerrymandering. When you KNOW your ideas won’t win, you do anything else you can do to stay in power.

Nice artwork today.

the bigger the mob the lower the IQ.

“Stupid is as stupid does” (F. Gump aka Winston Crooms).

Florida is trying to be #1 but has strong competition from the poorer red states.

I’m in Florida and I shudder to think how much worse The Florida Fuhrer, Con DeSatan, could make it. Florida is Where Freedom Comes to Die.

I love my state.

I am a bit confused by the color choices for California in particular. But it was easy to identify the red states altho not sure NH is THAT bad when Alabama isn’t read and Florida is not red. Give us a legend!

I remember when Ann Richards was the Governor of TX in the 90s; And she held the reins after it went from Blue to Red in the 70s.

Oh Clay… now a lot of people from Texas are wondering why Alaska is so cold!

With President Bump’s into Walls the entire country is in trouble……..

Alberta is getting pretty bad as well.

Depending on the results of the November gubernatorial election, we may have to add North Carolina to the list.

yeah? i’m in Florida

Just say it’s the RED states and you won’t be lying.

LOL. I used to live there, so yeah.

That’s what happens when you always vote republican.

Maybe we should change the name of our country from United States to Untied States. /s

Florida is right down there with it.

And New York has that beautiful skyline.

That donald trump built, according to donald’s son eric “eric who?” trump

To be a Texas Republican, one has to believe that it’s a good idea to arm teachers with guns, but teachers can’t be trusted to choose library books.

Great strip

Texas was a great state until 9 million lay abouts moved in.

It is said that the unofficial motto of the Great State of Alabama is, “Gratias ago Deo pro Mississippia” (Thank God for Mississippi).

(The rather truculent official motto, “Audemus jura nostra defendere” (we dare to defend our rights) has a strong Reconstruction Era whiff, but it was in fact proposed in 1923 but not officially adopted until 16 years later.)

Bennett Knows his subject, we live in the so, so district.
