    I have a couple naturalized Chinese nationals in my family, so that's a gray area whether they'll be the round-up or not.

    Mostly, I'm offended by the violence she's done to the English language. My god.

    But it seems almost unfair to call her a "party official." A precinct chair is pretty much the bottom rung. It's the kind of role you have to pressure people into taking. I found the lady on LinkedIn. She works as a receptionist through a staffing company. Her last decent job was mail processing for USPS. That command of the English language is courtesy of SMU and Lonestar College (not sure she got a BA though). Looks like she can sing though. Nothing wrong with doing a service job, so I don't mean to run her down. Just wanted to give some perspective on the caliber of candidate for precinct chair out in a place like Cypress.

    So you don't think the same people would drive to register to vote?

    Have you stopped even trying to make sense anymore?

    Nothing confusing about you O's.

    It's pathetically blatant.

    What in the entire f***?! Republicans get pissy when those of us who aren't think they're f***ing crazy ass white nationalist, uneducated (many spelling and grammar errors throughout that nonsense), morons. There isn't a sane person that could look at that pile of horses*** and say, "Hmm...some good ideas in there."

    Wow, did you see the shoot and kill migrants crossing the border part? Calling them terrorist threats but so called "Patriots" storming the Capitol and beating down police are "in their eyes" pardonable innocent protesters. Says a lot about the far right turn of the GOP agenda and beliefs.

    The GOP has lost the mindset of American's and is now doing ANYTHING it can to stay in power - huddling up with dictators, imploring racism as a stance, just lost the plot.

    Even it's conservatism is gone.....there is zero integrity left.

    Most of these issues you are blathering about are concentrated in cities and counties that are run by democrats.

    I think you underestimate what percentage of America subscribes the current GOP mindset.

    I think two of the links he listed are local issues (local crime). The rest are all state (or joint state-federal) issues.
