Greg, why don't you go after the white supremacist gangs that deal meth all throughout the state? Haven't heard of a single initiative on that. 

So pathetically transparent

On the one hand, probably still trying to catch Trump’s attention, all the while nobody around Abbott will tell him the truth - that Trump doesn’t like people in wheel chairs around him.

On the other, and this is completely anecdotal, while dropping my youngest off this morning, I talked to one of the other parents, who is a staffer for a legislator, and she mentioned that her Republican counterparts are “concerned” about some down ballot races that they think Trump is putting into play.  And this was before todays “animals” comments. She said there is some scrambling over finances, donors are being asked to pony up directly to the Texas organizations and even to individual campaigns,  and not Trump Co., and that Abbott seems to give no fucks about the down ballot folks.

Doing stupid shit so that his base can masturbate to stupid shit. This dude can't roll his ass out of office fast enough.

1. His buddies hold up border bill.

2. Install razor wires as a publicity stunt.

3. Idiot base goes crazy. Republican voters are god damned idiots.

In an effort to prevent migrant crossings from the southern border, Texas installed a razor wire along its border with New Mexico, not Mexico — upsetting the southwestern state’s governor.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on September 14 that his state would be “TRIPLING our razor wire border barriers to deny illegal entry into our state and our country.” However, rather than installing the razor wire along the Rio Grande river bank that faces Mexico, KTSM on Tuesday captured footage of Texas Army National Guard troops installing it along a bank that faces New Mexico.

This newly-laid barrier extends from West Paisano Drive to the Texas side of the Anapra, New Mexico, according to the outlet.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, told The Independent in a statement that Republican Abbott’s latest move was a “political stunt” that will have “will have no meaningful impact on our nation’s broken immigration system.”

The Texas governor “seems to be pushing to make Texas its own country without regard for his neighbors or the fact that Texas is already part of a great nation—the United States,” Lujan Grisham said.

She continued: “If he doesn’t think that New Mexico is important to the overall well-being of Texas, then he must be forgetting about the Permian Basin and the oil industry that straddles our two states. I don’t see him laying concertina wire there.” The New Mexico governor then urged Congressional Republicans to “stop holding up the carefully negotiated, bipartisan agreement they are deliberately stalling in Washington at the expense of our entire nation.”

A legion of idiots is the most valuable commodity in the world.
