Come join in to discuss how this proposal aligns with your core Republican values of decentralized government along with evidence that "Dems are for murder in Portland."

Abbot once again is full of shit and pandering to his moronic base while making people long for the good ole days of Rick Perry. 
 

He needs to go roll around river oaks under the large oak trees in some more thunderstorms. This time he wont get 10 million for being an idiot. Largely thanks to himself and his fellow tort reform idiots.

So the state is going to take on the cost of running Austin's police department, which is about one-third of the City's budget?  Fucking sign me up!

Of course, this has absolutely no chance of getting through the Legislature.  Abbott, as per usual, is just saying shit that he has no intention of following up on.
