Fuck, I love the GOP Civil War. It’s like watching reality TV but with oil, guns, and a few sidekicks named Cletus.
In this latest episode of Republican-on-Republican violence, two of the most prominent oligarchs in Texas square off for a head-to-head match. Before we get into it, we need a little context.
Tim Dunn - Net Worth $2.2 billion.
Richard (Dick) Weekley - Net Worth over $1 billion
Tim Dunn - Amount spent on Texas politics since 2015 - $21,476,061
Dick Weekley - Amount spent on Texas politics since 2015 - $15,640,652
Dunn and Weekley are billionaires and have spent millions of dollars in Texas politics over the last decade. They are the same, two fat cows, each thinking they own Texas. They certainly own the Republican Party of Texas and have for many years.

I loathe this man so much. HE is the one giving all the money to Abbott to run pro-voucher candidates against anyone who is anti-voucher. Deliberately trying to run our public schools into the ground. And he donates more than the other 2 put together. And he's not even Texan - he's a billionaire from Pennsylvania.
