There's nothing in the state constitution that bars someone that wears a suit that says "Griftmaster 5000" on the back from becoming attorney general.

He can still be the Attorney General, even if the famously woke cucks at the Texas State Bar Association disbar him.

Why shouldn't an ancient demon known only as "The devourer of children" be our secretary of education? He claims that his school lunch program for fattening up children will keep them off the streets and away from crime.

Scroll over the spoilers to see why I've never felt more pessimistic about the possibility of the Dallas-Houston train...Janet Miranda for the Houston Chronicle posted:Houston-Dallas bullet train could be built within the next decade, Amtrak says

I think for most of the project's lifespan Amtrak wasn't in charge of it, but I guess now they've taken over it? I also still think that if they really believed in the idea of a train between Dallas and Houston, they could just reopen the normal speed rail line in a couple months and see immediately how people deal with it, even though it'd sure be cool to have high speed rail and give a lot of people a weird sunk cost fallacy where now they HAVE to try to use the rail after a lot of money got spent on it.

People aren't going to take a train between Houston and Dallas when it takes 2-3x longer than driving or a bus.

Oil! posted:People aren't going to take a train between Houston and Dallas when it takes 2-3x longer than driving or a bus. Also, there was never a direct Houston-Dallas line. Even back in the day it was Houston -> Temple -> Fort Worth -> Dallas. So there's nothing to really "re-open". Also, even then all the rail lines are owned by freight companies and Amtrak has to be low-priority (pulling onto parallel tracks to let freight trains pass). The big advantage of the new line, if it ever exists, is that they would be owned by the passenger rail lines and wouldn't have to deal with freight traffic. Even if they don't make it a high-speed train, having direct service that is the top priority of the rails on which it runs means that it would be faster than driving.

Don't worry, they will find a way to get freight trains going 35mph on the high speed line.

https://x.com/lmcgaughy/status/1782837308204494932 Great implications here - you can't even have basic human rights if you travel out of state because we're all Ken Paxton's property. He's like that abusive ex-boyfriend who threatens your boss at every job you get so you can't stay employed. Also, in related news Idaho has started just hospital helicoptering women with serious pregnancy complications out of state. We have that lawsuit law on the books, so I assume Paxton will sue any hospitals, helicopter pilots, etc. who offer transport to an abortion.

poemdexter posted:gently caress this, i want high speed freight so that derailments leave craters where towns used to be. The derailment only happen purely from neglect from the railroad companies cutting corners by having trains operated by only one (probably sleep-deprived) driver and AI "Conductor", not doing the required maintains on rails and trains because the FRA has no budget or teeth, and our railroads being overloaded by these trains running 100+ when all the infrastructure supports 50 on any given day.

I know of one of the trans activists who got knocked down by DPS and arrested. They ended up leaving the state and are still pretty traumatized. No danger, legislature just wanted a fancy show of force against them queers. I think this summer with the protests will keep getting ugly with the police force, but I sort of wouldn't be surprised if DPS beats the poo poo out of a few teenagers in a committee hearing or something.

The general development of riot police with specialized equipment over the last 50 years has generally been to prevent some random jackass from making another Kent State happen even when they want to crack down hard on a protest. I'm sure if Abbot could call in the national guard to take potshots at random college studients, he would've done it three years ago.

In Kent State: What Happened and Why, author James Michener recounts the litany of rage-filled letters to local newspapers. “The National Guard made only one mistake,” one said. “They should have fired sooner and longer.” Why would the university want to venerate the victims? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/fifty-years-ago-kent-state-massacre-changed-university-forever-180974787/
