So, wait. He wants to secede, but also supports the US military spending money to sponsor an event in his state? Do you want help from the federal government or not, Gregg? Or did the tree hit more than your spine when it fell on you? Though I suppose both can be true…
Conservatives want a government that's only large enough to force their beliefs on you.
You mean the tree limb that fell on him, sued his neighbor, got a massive payout (millions) and then got elected to higher office only to turn around and pass laws to make sure no one else could get payouts like that? Fuck Greg Abbott. I hope the tree comes back to finish the job.
the tree did nothing wrong, and in fact I hope it goes further
#TeamTree
You can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Hypocrisy and double-think are the bread and butter of Texas Republicans.
Just another lead-addled piece of shit.
Greg "Jade Helm" Abbott? The chucklefuck who said the US army was invading Texas?
"We don't need your money here. Especially not when we re-legalize slavery."
Uh, the for-profit prison system would like a word
So, if Abbot thinks he has the legal authority to tell people they can't go to texas... that could be very interesting.
the US has a right of travel. States can't ban people coming into their state for any reason.
I don't think he believes any such thing as his words being legally binding.
He's just being your run of the mill petulant childish Texan politician with the "nuh uh YOU ARE!" type rhetoric.
Well then Austin can secede from Texas and then the more conservative neighborhoods can secede from Austin. Secedeceptions all the way down. Why not?
Fuck him.
No problem.
