Abbott being Abbott

Who the fuck autographs their own bracket?  At least he didn't have Rapeylor all the way to the Final Four?  Probably best leave the rape to his Foster Care System?

Everything Abbott is doing, he's doing because he's trying to imitate DeSantis in some way, just in a really weak way.  DeSantis sticks it to Florida schools, Abbott goes after HISD, etc.

hot wheels should go after the major oil companies like Exxon.  piss boy went after Disney.  

[Beau Vine 53978]

That's an incredibly chalky bracket.  What a pussy!

I guarantee you that Abbott has bitched about Obama filling out a bracket every year.

$50 says Abbott makes a deal with the Ohio Governor.  They win, he gets 100 pounds of phenomenal smoked brisket.  We win, Abbott gets a lukewarm plate of shitty skyline chili.  Abbott is actually a smart guy but he has the negotiating prowess of cosmo kramer at a coffee headquarters.

Watch what happens.  Bussing undocumented folks up north has been costing on average almost $2000/rider.  These folks will magically get here on a bus costing $35/person.  

Tuesday is gonna be lit as fuck at the Capitol between the Pro-Trump Protestors and the School Choice folks and the Kids Play Day which I suspect will be canceled in about 3 hours time.

doesn't matter anymore.

but in the 'huh. well would you look at that.' category... very rural east Texas (think Palestine suburb lol)...

i mean, fuck Greg Abbott.

Indeed. Huge density of those signs on lawns in West U in Houston too.

What I always love about Republican politicians is they love to focus on personal responsibility when cutting social programs, but they never, ever actually take any responsibility for anything.

Abbott and company shit the bed, fuck over the Texas consumers and orchestrate the largest killing of taxpayers via their specific moronic Electrical grid plan.  To be more accurate, the usual lack of regulation in preference of giving GOP donors the ability to pollute and gouge consumers allowed Abbott to simply let the taxpayers pick up the tab.  When the state of course had massive reserves that you would think a fiscally conservative government might use for the easily anticipated emergency. Self-created and designed in this case.  But accountability? Fuck no!

As a bonus Abbott told a bald faced lie on the cause of the Electrical Grid collapse.  Because Republicans no longer are concerned about facts, and there is not accountability nor responsibility within the Republican political landscape.

Uvalde - Abbott comes out and tells the State and the Nation a bald faced lie about police response.  Even today the Governor has refused to give the parents of the dead children an accounting of what actually happened to their children.  Why you might ask?  Because telling the truth about what happened would make at least some folks want some degree of accountability.  So expect complete and total stonewalling on allowing the facts to see the light of day.  Because then lies about how great Abbott's leadership is would be clearly rebuked.  So lie, hide, and spin.  That is what now substitutes for responsibility and accountability from Abbott and other Republican leaders.

It's sad to me that there is no accountability nor personal responsibility for Republican politicians by Republican voters.  None at all.  And now Abbott and the GOP have created a situation where it is better to lie, because they KNOW that Republicans would rather believe most any favorable lie, than even glance at an unflattering truth.  Imagine how fucked up the kids are these Republican parents are raising today?

If you really want to know about the true scumbag that Governor Greg Abbott is?  Look at his record of taking care of the children in his care, in the Texas foster system.  A system where if a parent provided the level of care that Abbott feels acceptable, the parent would lose custody of the child for endangering the child.  It's a sad and sick record.  But in the next breath Abbott vows to wipe out rape, so he can pretend that the abortion laws he supports are not as draconian as they actually are.  Imagine if you had a woman that did not take care of her children, but wanted more and more children NOT to take care of?  That is the world Greg Abbott lives in, and he thinks it's fantastic!

With all due respect to teachers groups, Democrats, and other education advocates---this was largely Phelan from the Top Rope as a fuck you to Patrick & Abbott.  

When the tide finally shifts away from the hate-mongering cunts in a decade or so, those two will be long gone.  Phelan sees the long game.

Veteran working for Uber, Daniel Perry, carrying a weapon that is against Uber policy for passenger safety, drives his car into a peaceful protest, shoots and kills another veteran. Veteran, Garrett Foster, courageously runs into the terrorist attack and loses his life defending others as well as his quadriplegic girlfriend in the process of responding to Daniel's act of violence.

Daniel Perry is a hero for ridding the world of one BLM Protestor.

[Scheiss Meister 8398]

My daughter and her fiance moved to Oregon because of this shit eater and his shit eater Republican cronies.  Fuck them, each and every one, and every shit head who votes for them.

ETA - You just know that Abbott and the leaders of the legislature are looking for three Black Democrats to kick out of the legislature to show that they won't be outdone by Tennessee.

Abbott is essentially issuing conservatives a license to kill their political opponents in the streets with this pardon. All they'll need is to conjure up some bullshit "castle doctrine" defense.

Which is, to my great chagrin, entirely legal in this great state.

LAW & ORDER!*

*unless you are on my team in which case I'll do whatever I can to make sure nothing comes of it.

Holy shit. Why even have a trial Abbott if you're going to immediately overturn the result? The effect is that you can commit crimes, as long as it would be politically favorable for the right wing. That's anything but law and order.

I'm not even saying Perry is innocent or guilty. My understanding is that's it's very murky and I also didn't sit through a trial to see all the evidence -- and neither did Abbott. But to just turn around and spout this 24 hours after a citizen jury came down with this decision? Wow.

[topochico 1049]

Regardless of political preferences, everyone should have a problem with a governor interjecting themselves before sentencing or the appeals process to expedite a pardon. The next time I am summoned for jury duty, I am going to show up and request that Greg Abbott serve in my stead. I have never been a huge mass protest guy, but if a third the state refused to show for jury duty in protest, that would be awesome. At the very least, everyone claims a bias that they will be unable to fully participate in the proceedings because we now understand that the judicial process is entirely meaningless and ultimately only subject to the whims of a single person. Of course, Abbott would just send us all to jail for contempt of court. 

[Beau Vine 53978]

Quote

Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator on Fox News, covered Perry’s conviction on his show Friday evening. Carlson said he had invited Abbott to discuss whether he was considering a pardon for Perry, but said the governor declined.

“So that is Greg Abbott’s position, there is no right of self-defense in Texas,” Carlson told his viewers.

[ChuckNorrisActionJeans 2659]

That's right, there is no right of self-defense in Texas. JFC these mendacious pieces of shit that short-circuit the brains of the rubes. It ought to be criminal.

[Paper_jam 828]

Gee, y'all are being so negative. I'm totally sure that if a BLM or other liberal activist had driven into a crowd and shot a conservative protestor, Abbott would be taking this same action to pardon the liberal activist. Why y'all gotta bring politics into it? We all have the same rights under the law, so there's no way that the Governor would selectively apply them to protect conservatives and/or tacitly endorse the murder of political opponents.

 

 

[TexPx 2309]

I’m confused. I thought we supposed to be tough on crime.

[Ghost of LL 15469]

We are getting progressively closer to civil war with this. What Abbott is saying with this is that political murder is ok if you’re on Team Red.

But that can go both ways. All it takes is the DA announcing that he may not prosecute anyone who shoots a Republican officeholder in Travis County, and it’s game fucking on. 
 

And frankly, anybody shooting Abbott would have a better claim of self-defense than Daniel Perry. Between his handling of Covid, the ongoing catastrophe that is DFPS, his insistence that criminals and lunatics have as many guns as they can carry, and his prevention of people getting the healthcare they need, Abbott has killed more Texans than Santa Anna.

[mchookem 16184]

wtf is he even talking about, 'rogue DAs'?? it's not like the DA just declared the dude guilty...it was, you know, A JURY OF HIS PEERS. i mean it doesn't even partially make sense!
