Texans are waking up - maybe just wishful thinking. Things were totally different prior to '94 and hope things can go back. There is a lot of horseshit that needs to be flushed out. I hope I live long enough to see it . IT WILL HAPPEN.

...Unfortunately, every part of what the president said is delusional. El Paso has been one of the safest cities in the country for decades and fencing along the border, erected in 2009, didnt affect the rate of violent crime at all. But its not surprising that Trump got it wrong. For Trump, Texas is a backdrop and nothing more. Its the presidents Westworld. Thats a very peculiar thing for Texas to experience, because the state is accustomed to deference from Republican administrationsdeference it has earned. And the strangest thing of all is who is going along with it...
