Freedom in Texas is largely, "leave me alone to do as I please" but "if I (rich people or big corporations) have specific need then the freedom of the other is less important than mine own and let me show you how (wink, wink Mr. Politician in my back pocket)".

It's maddening how we over and over and over socialize risk for the well-to-do meanwhile our K-12 schools suck, our teenage birth rates are the highest in the land (or nearly so) and we have the highest rates of people without health insurance in the country.

If we didn't have shedloads of oil, we'd be goddamn Mississippi.

Why is Flynn still receiving a military pension when he is trying to overthrow the US government that is paying for it? He should be court martial and all his military credentials and pension removed.

Former Trump advisor Michael Flynn said the US should have a coup like Myanmar, where the military overthrew the democratically elected government

At a QAnon conference in Dallas, an attendee asked Flynn about the coup in Myanmar, where hundreds of civilians have been killed by the military.
