Of course, Texans are talking about Russia. Perhaps not in your very tiny circle of friends.

Texans are also talking about your support to TAKE WAY their Health Care.

I can remember a time when Texans were very concerned about even the appearance of our elected officials getting too cozy with Russia. Times have changed.

and the tax cut for mega rich dressed up as a "health bill"

If he answered the phone or let constituents in his offices he might hear the talk...why bother with voters though

He's only listening to republicans apparently. The only time they talk about Russia is stating it's a nothingburger and blasting Democrats.

JUANITA JEAN HEROWNSELF – Juanita is owner of The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc., Fort Bend’s only professional political organization. Her main qualification to comment on Texas politics is that she owns pink cowboy boots. Not just one pair, but several. Most likely, you don’t.

Through diligent research, it has been discovered that Juanita is the daughter of Judge Clyve T. “ByGawd” Bell and his bride, the lovely and talented Lillie Jean Bell, who was known in a four county area for her unique ability to lasso while singing opera.

Juanita graduated from Elite Beauty School in Del Rio, Texas, (whose motto is: We never heard of you either) first in her class, and after a brief stint with the Buck Pochek Professional Waterskiing and Ring-O’-Fire Extravaganza, she settled down in Richmond. Her first husband, Bubba Hank, died in a semi-tragic Nascar pit stop accident. Juanita has found no good reason to remarry.

Only my niece, the wingnut, is incapable of seeing the truth. Cruz is lying, as usual.
