It's funny how Stickland (who is hard-core Forever-Trump btw) can be so critical over Twitter

It's funny how Stickland (who is hard-core Forever-Trump btw) can be so critical over Twitter. While he has always been critical of everyone (this clip is old, btw) he recently has seemingly gone manic with the Paxton impeachment. He is making A LOT of accusations of Republican Reps over twitter recently, over drug usage, and mostly accusations of infidelity, and he is even naming names. (LOL, see https://twitter.com/RepStickland/status/1699124850554458120 ) It's indeed entertaining to watch the Texas GOP implode on itself - the label of "RINO" is being thrown back and forth - but given how old this clip is, perhaps the civil war within the fractured GOP was always inevitable šŸ¤” On the right, you have the Republican "Establishment" (aka, the "RINOs), vs the wide-eyed Freedom Caucus (aka, the "True Patriots" or "MAGA"). And they both hate eachother! šŸæ šŸæ šŸæ šŸæ šŸæ

Patterson, do you care about this piece of legislation? I do deeply, sir. Deeply? Yes, sir. Deeply enough to lay out your own committee substitute? Yes, sir. Well, it says right here you didn't do that, Representative Patterson.

Do you think that's a point of order? No, sir. Why not? Because it's not, sir. It says right here that the committee substitute was laid out by uh Representative Allison. Representative Allison's a great member of this house, sir. So is is the House resource or organization wrong?

I'm not sure. It says right up here, committee substitute for House Bill 674 by Representative Allison that it was laid out by him. Yes, sir. I'd be happy to review that later, sir. What if we have the parliamentarian review instead of you? I'd accept that, sir.

So why did he lay out your committee substitute? I believe I wasn't available at the time. I was in another committee, I believe. You weren't available at the time, or that's just common practice that someone lays it out and then you explain it. Do you know the difference between laying out a committee substitute and explaining it, Representative Patterson?

Yes, sir. Let me ask you another question. How many education centers are there in the state of Texas? Well, there are 20 different districts, sir, and my district has been a good thing. Yeah, I know. But how many centers?

Because this is dealing with education centers. How many are there? There are 20 districts. And what part of the Texas Constitution authorizes you to even do this piece of legislation? Well, I'm a duly elected House member, sir. And uh who was absent?
