That health care is legal under Texas law, but this is election season. Cynics who think politicians will say anything to get reelected have a new, sparkling piece of evidence......
But most of those arent sexy election issues. Paxton is in a runoff. Abbott faces a well-known, well-financed Democrat in November. And as The Texas Tribunes Patrick Svitek has reported, they think theyve got a hot item to entice Republican voters.
This is a winning issue, Abbotts top political strategist, Dave Carney, told reporters last week. Texans have common sense.....
How is that considered child abuse to accept them and love them? one mother told them. How can they overstep their power and try to come and tell me how I should love my child?

(1,962 posts)You cannot use the airwaves to tell people how to steal, or to commit election fraud. Making death threats and terrorist threats are crimes. Therefore, you cannot use the airwaves to broadcast threats.
So, right there, in plain view, Fox has committed two crimes (well, more than two, but let's just focus on this tweet): The first is calling for people to be violently attacked. The second is using the airwaves to broadcast said threat.
Anyone in this country still want to believe they're "news"? They're terrorist propaganda and are no longer hiding it.
We're way past the time to shut these fuckers down and start arresting these monsters, starting with Fucker Carlson.
LOCK THEM UP!
