Texas Officially Loses It, Bans Tampons and Diabetic Supplies from Senate Chamber, Guns OK

[Galraedia]

I don’t even know where to start with this pathetic display of nonsense from the Texas Legislature and Department of Public Safety. It seems so much like something ripped from The Onion, but sadly, it’s not.

The Texas Department of Public Safety forced women to hand over their tampons and pads before entering the Senate chamber today. Not only that, but they were also forcing diabetics to hand over sugar packets and other diabetes supplies which are lifelines when dealing with low blood glucose levels.

And the kicker — those with concealed handgun licenses who wanted to enter the Senate chamber were not only allowed to keep their handguns, but they were allowed to bypass the long lines and enter through a “special” CHL (concealed handgun license) line.


Priorities, Texas style.

1. You can kill a man with a tampon, and drain him of his manlihood with a catheter.

And, let me tell you, it ain't pretty.

2. No tampons in the Texas Senate, but douches perfectly okay

to be there apparently.

3. They should have brought guns loaded loaded with tampons and sugar.

6. Be careful about he string hanging out of the barrel.

I just thought of something - That string could look like a fuse and the tampon... Well you know.
