Abbott was extremely aggressive about forcing himself into the toss.

Bigger jock-sniffer... Cruz or Abbott? I mean, both are pathetic, but...

Abbott’s nose is perfectly positioned at jock level for optimized sniffing.

Seriously, fuck that pos.

Looking at it again, it looked so pathetic - putting aside him being in wheel chair and so down low, he looked like a small man who thought he was more important than he was, and it didn't seem like anybody around him gave a shit about him.

It's an analogy for his political career... inserting himself where he has nothing to add and getting in the way of the people who do.

This piece of shit is more worried about his own power than he is about the state possibly executing an innocent man. How Christian of you, Greg.

Spoiler

Gov. Greg Abbott condemned the actions of a bipartisan group of Texas legislators Monday, breaking his silence in the pending execution of Robert Roberson.

Abbott in an amicus brief supporting the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's plan to execute Roberson last week, said the lawmakers “stepped out of line” when they intervened to save Roberson’s life.

Abbott argued the power to grant clemency in a capital case, including a 30-day reprieve, lies with the governor alone.

"Unless the Court rejects that tactic, it can be repeated in every capital case, effectively rewriting the Constitution to reassign a power given only to the Governor," Abbott argued.

The Texas Supreme Court halted the execution of Roberson last week after members of the Texas House committee subpoenaed Roberson to testify in an attempt to save his life, setting off an unprecedented legal battle.

Roberson was convicted in 2003 in the death of his chronically ill 2-year-old daughter Nikki. Had he been executed last week, he would have been the first person to be executed based in a case related to shaken baby syndrome, a diagnosis that many experts and lawmakers say is no longer supported by scientific evidence.

Roberson has maintained his innocence for more than 20 years on death row.

Yes, you're perfectly happy to demean others when you think it gives your supporters a hard on, while ignoring yet another actual duty of your job.  Just fuck all the way off with this.

Glad to see somebody put it in writing. I know it is clear to us that Abbott wouldn't actually do anything to hurt his top donors from the home construction business.

The thousand yard stare photo ops at the border are particularly farcical considering all the construction in downtown Austin. Just walk in any direction from the Governor's Mansion. "Hey Greg! I found them!"

Abbot would roll his chair all the way to Huntsville to push the button and fry this guy himself just to prove the point that he thinks he should be the only one to step in and grant clemency and stop an execution...

Seriously. Read that Texas Monthly article if you haven't. It's all political theater. The Texas economy would grind to a halt without undocumented workers.

I mean I know this. Our immigration policy is a disaster, completely divorced from reality and needs of our country and economy, and for various reasons neither party is able to solve it. The Democrats because fixing it would force them to acknowledge that tons of work in this country is being done by sub-minimum wage workers and they don't really want to solve that.

By Republicans because their base is just anti-immigration in general but the economy needs the cheap labor.

So everybody is a big hypocrite and lets the current situation continue.

But I will read it @David Dennison if you think it will give me some new information.

I don't know how much you'll learn, but it's a well-written piece that provides further evidence that Republican lawmakers in Austin are perfectly happy with the current border "crisis" because it provides them with an issue they can demagogue incessantly while their corporate donors benefit from a seemingly bottomless pool of cheap and exploitable labor.

He won't release the money TX public schools are budgeted to have. Why would he spend that extra money on schools?

Yeah…a better question would have been “do you know how many campaign donors be can give a 10x ROI with preferential spending of those dollars?”
The regime is corrupt, to its core.
