American papers are filled with pundits speculating about the horrors the Taliban may inflict on the people of Afghanistan, particularly its women. Less attention has been paid to the horrors Texas Republicans — the Taliban wing of the Republican Party — are inflicting on the State of Texas. In total control of the state, Republicans have a free hand that they’ve used to enforce extremism.
Dubbing them the Texas Taliban isn’t just name-calling. The parallels are chilling. The Taliban scorn democracy. They see their opponents as heretics and heathens. The Taliban are bigots, rejecting people of other religions. The Taliban enforce a religious zealotry with suppression of women a central tenet. The Taliban invoke religious law to supplant the civil law. The Taliban reject modernity, scorn science, and seek return to a fundamentalist society that never was.
In the last two weeks, the Taliban honored an agreement to help the U.S. military get 123,000 Afghans and Americans out of the country and promised to do more as they seek to work with other nations.
In that same period, the Texas legislature and Abbott sought to restrict voting and take away a woman’s right to self-determination. Who are we to not trust a newly emerging Taliban as it seeks its place in the family of nations while being asked to trust a Republican Government of Texas that attacks democracy and the rights of women?
It’s the old tried-and-true Confederate State of Texas, the last state to inform its slaves they were free, for which we now celebrate Juneteenth.

Skulls for the blood god!
He has taken his hackery to a new low with this one. He condemns Texas Republicans for being as bad as the Taliban, but then redeems the Taliban because they have allegedly cooperated with the evacuation and are “struggling to find their place among the family of nations”. That makes Texas Republicans worse than the Taliban and probably beyond the hope of redemption. Cute. I wonder how long it will be before he pays the Taliban a visit.
Romans 1:29-31: “being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;“
Abortion checks a fair number of those off.
I thought the Taliban are now a legitimate government that we can negotiate with.
Keep bragging on Texas. Maybe it will keep you commie b******* from moving here. You call yourself a “reverend” and spout nothing but lies and hate.
What a LOSER.
JESSE IS A LOSER.
People are not listening to this clown anymore so he’s going more left and stupid.
Chicago deserves him .
Agreed 47.
He’s a loser.

Meantime, when the left overtly and egregiously shove their horrific agenda items down our throats (as they do daily), our “representatives” more or less say “well, there they go again”, followed by a plea for cash.
I would put that on ‘you know where’, but they would just say it false/disinformation.
That was NOT a single shot rifle.
EXACTLY.......
You forgot the barf alert
The only publicity he gets anymore shows how low he has sunk on the Dem totem pole.
The Taliban? Really, Je$$e.
Howz all ya kidz across the land doing?
Once a scumbag, yada yada
In this photo he looks like someone took him for a Vidor drag.
You’d think they would be smart enough not to bring up Afghanistan or the Taliban right now.
