    I don't want to vote dim o crap but I don't want to vote Abbott either. Since Abbott removed my ability to straight ticket vote, it will be easy to remove my Abbott vote and catch any good ones still running.
    Yes I know this in effect results into a vote for the dim o crap. So shut up!
    Only an idiot would vote Abbott IMHO. I'm getting too old to vote the lessor of 2 evils. I'm tired of voting for evil altogether. I'm willing to give the next generation the government they want.

    Vote Prather in the primary and if Abbott wins then just abstain from voting for him in the main election. Who cares if a dem wins. You didn’t vote the dem in and was a clear response to the conservatives staying home. The fault lies clearly on Abbott and the GOP not getting him back in line with the conservative base. Let the chips fall where they may. A dem or a rhino is the same thing with exception to what they preface their name with.

    That's how the worst possible scenario comes to pass.

    How so? If the R is gonna act the same as a D what difference does it make?
    You really think they are going to act just the same? Across the board.
    How naive and shortsighted.

    Just because you dont like Abbots wuhan retard syndrome decision you think that makes him act just like a Democrat across the board? I think it makes him a phuktard who made a stupid decision that pisses me off and he hears about it. I may even support a different candidate in a primary but I dont for a second think installation of a democrat is going to be no different than abbot.

    That's as ignorant and shortsighted as those who vote 3rd party or dont vote at all for president.

    I use the words naive ignorant and shortsighted in their literal definition not as pejoratives.

    If you cant vote for one then vote against the other. Support a primary challenge, run yourself but dont screw everyone by helping to install the worst possible outcome.

    IMHO ofcourse .

    I recall talk (maybe rumors) early on about Chinese people with the flu going around trying to infect people.

    Who here is honestly okay with people, knowingly sick, going about their daily lives?

    Schoolteachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, hospital employees....

    That place east of Waco....
    Brooks County says they'll arrest anyone who's tested positive for covid19 and doesn't self quarantine. I wonder how long before Abbott decides that's a good idea statewide.

    And what happens if that person resists arrest? Are these officers willing to kill a person, or be killed, enforcing this?....because that's a possibility anytime an order like this comes down.

    The key is to get involved in the very early phase of the primaries. Find a good alternative. Tell folks about them. Kick in some campaign funds (this is where the outsider will struggle most against the incumbent).

    And how would they know that any given individual had tested positive?

    Or is that Phase 2 of the plan?

    Back in the beginning, they were posting online, individuals in Montgomery county who had tested positive, along with how/where it was thought they caught it.
    No, names weren't posted, but ages, and other info.

    Interesting. The article ended thusly:
    "There's a number of statutes out there that can be used so once you test positive, stay home," Garcia added.
    Stay home until what?
    14 days? You have three consecutive negative tests? Hell freezes over?

    They can’t arrest anyone unless they want to lose their job. Read the order on tx.gov

    From the last quote, it seems like they are under the impression that they may have a workaround. Whether that is successful or not would have to be seen.

    ...Who here is honestly okay with people, knowingly sick, going about their daily lives?...

    Humans have done that since the beginning of time and the same question has been asked. Using police powers in this manner is the local .gov workaround to not being able to impose martial law.

    Tell me exactly how this would work without violating HIPPA and due process? Now, let’s take it a step further...your test is a false positive, but you’ve been arrested. You can’t go to work and your one call is to an attorney and not your employer to arrange for some PTO/vacation in the slammer, so you lose your job.

    Things are hurting in the monetary department b/c you’re like most Americans and don’t have an emergency fund, so with the legal fees on top of the regular bills, you go bankrupt, your house gets foreclosed on, and the car gets repossessed. Wife leaves you, and all the kid knows is it’s because daddy went to jail.

    Your day in court comes and conviction is guaranteed because how do you prove the test was a false positive until weeks or months later when you don’t have the antibodies. Meanwhile, you just kind out you got the gonoherpasypyles during one or more of the times you got raped in the jail. That shit follows you around for life, don’t you know?

    All this happened because you put on your no-kidding American made 3M N95 mask to go with your wife to get your kid some anti-diarrheal medicine right before the local drugstore closed.

    Somewhere in Texas!
    City of Weimar, Texas, having the police at business locations going after people without mask. I will not wear a mask. When the other people are wearing masks that DO NOT STOP the virus, what is the point?

    I wrote a scathing letter to the morons of the city government, no response. I have decided to not do any business in that town, which includes the car dealership (I have been a customer there for 31 years), I buy a new truck about every two years, the local stores, grocery, bakery, liquor, lumber etc. I may only spend about $400 a week in town, not counting when I make large purchases (truck / lumber for building projects), but I refuse to support this shit.

    My BODY My Choice! Works for the abortionist, WORKS for me.
