| Rep. Jonathon Strickland |
An abortion battle in the Texas legislature nearly turned into a fistfight on Sunday night after several Republican women changed their mind about a bill that would ban health insurance from covering abortions.
According to the Houston Chronicle, House sergeants had to stop Republican state Rep. Jonathan Stickland from attacking Rep. Byron Cook (R) after Senate Bill 575 did not make it to the House floor as he expected.
Cook had reportedly promised to move SB 575 out of the State Affairs Committee to the Calendars Committee if Stickland agreed to drop an amendment that would have banned abortions based on fetal abnormalities.
Although Cook kept his word, three Republican women on the Calendars Committee — Reps. Sarah Davis, Debbie Riddle and Patricia Harless — backed out of supporting the bill at the last minute and sided with the Democrats, killing the measure with a 7-7 vote.
At around 9:30 p.m., an enraged Stickland got in Cook’s face on the House floor. After a brief yelling match and nearly coming to blows, House sergeants got in between the two to prevent the scuffle from continuing, The Texas Tribune reported.
Yes you read that right this slack jawed asshole's original bill would have forced women to give birth to babies with birth defects. But he compromised, and instead settled for keeping insurance from paying for medically necessary abortions.
How big of him.
However when the Republican women saw what the bill would do they balked. And with good reason.

Damn it must suck when women refuse to stay silent and allow the men to run their lives and control their bodies for them.
Talk about literally "throwing your weight around," and isn't he the big tough guy in that last pic. Urp!
ReplyDeleteYeah,I cant control my eating,but let me control your reproductive parts. and ,i wear a gun !
Delete"But in the end, Stickland’s temper tantrum worked.
ReplyDeleteThe Calendars Committee reconvened after the House session and voted to move SB575 forward by a vote of 8-0. Two Republicans and all of the Democrats were marked as absent. Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle swung her vote in support of the bill, but it was not immediately clear why she had changed her mind. "
Um, he threatened to shoot her family perhaps?
DeleteTexas democracy in action.
DeleteWhy don't we just cut them loose and replace them with Puerto Rico?

"...He attended schools in the Birdville School District before getting his GED. He spent time at Tarrant County College and Parkland College studying sales and marketing...."
Evidently the finer points of debate and parliamentary rules did not sink in.
I am curious how many community college credits this HS dropout, with a GED, has earned.
DeleteTexas sure has low standards in EVERYTHING.
Hey shitwad, ya'll gotta keep your penis INSIDE your pants when posing for photos.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Texas have porno laws?
My thoughts exactly. I am convinced men who strut like this have serious issues and should be avoided at all cost.
DeleteI'll bet the jerk has one tiny, tiny dick!
DeleteNot that he's seen it in years.
DeleteNow now, SallyinMI! LOL!
DeleteI looked him up on Wiki; he's only 31. I'd be miserable too if that's as generous as Nature could be to me back at that age.
ReplyDeleteAnd this clear up a lot, doesn't it:
"In 2013, Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, managed in Texas by Cathie Adams, a former state chairman of the Texas Republican Party, rated Stickland 100 percent favorable"
Strickland is a member of the Texas House of Representatives. As such, he is part of "government." Stickland is getting paid by "the government" as a legislator, $28,200 a year for a regular session (thank you, Wikipedia!).
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, on his desk, Stickland has a big sign characterizing "the government" as stealing. Which makes Stickland . . . . (you fill in the blank).
A Texas Republicant?
DeleteWell, if HIS Momma could not abort him, wh should other women be helped? Lard ass looks like a fool, with that hige belly and the huge gun.

Another white, obese, Republican that is as creepy as can be!
ReplyDeleteAnd, from the State of TX! Are we surprised?
Hey, Bub, er Jonathon, how far along are ya', dude? You look like you're ready to birth a bastard any day now. Yea, I'd hate myself too if I looked like that.
ReplyDeleteMore like giving birth to a beer can! Will it be a Millers or a Budweiser?
DeleteNo, not surprised at all. Maybe the gun will just go off and the bullet will go through all that fat. Leave him with a little scar and maybe (but probably not) a whole new attitude.
DeleteBoom Boba Boba boom boba boom boom boom
ReplyDeleteI am a bit surprised that this sad excuse for a legislator did not brandish his weapon on the house floor. He IS a despicable man... and a lardass!
ReplyDeleteIf they work quickly enough, they can ban insurance from covering willful morbidly obese folks their lap-band surgeries and eventual quintuple heart by-pass for similar biblical exhortation.
ReplyDeleteI believe gluttony is still a 'sin' in there somewhere. Yes, looking at you Strick-outlandish!
Actually, the "seven deadly sins" aren't in the Bible.
DeleteHE looks pregnant.
ReplyDeleteNo, he looks obese. Grossly obese.
DeleteHe's about to give birth to a beer can!
DeleteI've got one eye on Weather Channel right now. "37 Texas counties declared disasters areas" due to floods. Somebody prop up Pat Robertson, will ya, so he can blame gay marriage.
ReplyDeleteAnd ISIS. And Obama. And abortion. And Planned Parenthood. And DC. And women wearing pants and having careers. And Obama. And atheists.
DeleteAnd don't forget.... BENGHAZI!!!
Deleteyeah...but....aren't a lot of texans holier-than-thou fundamentalist christians.....according to their logic, they must have done something really bad for God to be punishing them....I don't see a lot of torrential rain and flooding in the liberal parts of the country
DeleteTheir no load governor Abbott will be crying to the feds to bail texas out of their flooding problem even though he is all for annexing from the US. Fuck em'. Bail yourselves out.
ReplyDeleteSeceding.
DeleteAnd I say, cut them loose.
He may as well wear a sign reading, "TINY DICK!"
ReplyDeleteDon't be to hard on this down syndrome child . Why else would he struggle with the ability to stay in control.
ReplyDeleteUnless he is just plain stupid. Yeah,that's it. Fucking moron.
Try pushing a man who supports women as equal.
Like me.
Well, he did have trouble graduating from high school since he has a GED so he must have some trouble with comprehension.
DeleteI guess they should be glad he didn't stand his ground and shoot them dead..I'm sure the court would have ruled 'accidental discharge" and let him keep his cushy job.
ReplyDeleteThese chucklehead governmental leaders with "Don't steal, that's the government's job..." How do the people who vote for them not see the irony in that?
ReplyDeletePoor assclown, just because his mom carried a birth defected fetus full term (him), he think's it's normal. I'd like to see him get worked up, that belly fat is a heart attack in the waiting, let alone that huge hard gun he's got on his thigh. What a dufus.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blubber mound... Modeling his strap-on is right... Except, it should be around his head with the barrel in his mouth !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the flooding is not distracting them from their ongoing pinhead agendas. They're probably happy they have all this water to frack themselves with.
ReplyDeleteWoody Harrison starred in a movie where they hooked up a brat with a nursing calf! Lol there you go girls! Organize a 4-H tour!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the cowardly control freak POS didn't go after the women.
ReplyDeleteThis slackjawed asshole has been back in the news...
ReplyDeleteTexas lawmaker Jonathan Stickland’s apparently condone rape, seek weed ‘smoking buddy’
http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2015/12/texas-lawmaker-jonathan-sticklands-web-posts-about-weed-smoking-da-green-surface.html/
"Stickland also apparently said it’s OK for a man to rape his wife on a fantasy football forum, according to a post tweeted out by Quorum Report editor Scott Braddock."
You know: "“Rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend!” the lawmaker reportedly wrote to another forum user who complained that his wife would not perform the “reverse cowboy” position during sex."
Wonder what his wifey Chrissie thinks about all this? Has his back like Anna Duggar does Josh?
Also noticed this biographical detail, Strickland was a pest control technician.
What's up with that? Other legendary pest control technicians I can think of: Tom Delay, Chuck Heath, Corey Rossi and now this Stickland @$$hole!
Jeebus!
