WTF is with these Texans? They all just a bunch of wussys? "Don't mess with Texas, because we will turn tail and run."

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Fun fact "Don't mess with Texas" is a state anti litter campaign

[-] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Fun fact, when our trash Govt leaves, it is effectively litter removal. Its the one positive they do for the state, going away.

He’s not bringing “billions” to TX. This fuck only looks out for himself. I hope another tree falls on him.

A tree fell on him, leaving him paralyzed. He sued & got a payout amount granted by the lawsuit settlement, totaling $8.9 million. He then championed legislation that limits lawsuits awards so a payout can’t exceed like $250,000, or so. I may be wrong on that figure but pretty much he said fuck you I got mine. He’s a piece of shit.

As of Monday, two people in Harris County died after Beryl caused trees to fall on their homes, authorities said.

May they haunt Abbott the rest of his days

Can you haunt someone who doesn't have a soul?

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Brought the labber up with himself, got it.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately he’s shown that he can handle one tree. I suggest doubling it.

It’s a fact finding trip. He’s doing research to see if he hates asians as much as he hates latinos

Cancun was booked up

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Why not join that other fella in Cancun? You know, that Rafael guy.

I mean I'm picking up what thr author is putting down but it's not the fuckin titanic and it's not like hes guna be a first responder. For how little politicians actually spend working I think it's commendable he's using his vacation time in such an efficient manner /s

To be fair, governors shouldn't travel to disaster zones as the city has to spend resources on them like for protection and it takes away from disaster relief efforts.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah but tax payers funding his trip to Asia during a crisis isnt good either. He should have stayed in Austin and helped organize the disaster response.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Most of us would gladly pitch in a few bucks for him to take a trip forever.
