Abbott being Abbott

God I hate that guy.

I know a huge chunk of it is his desire to please Jess Yass and the West Texas assholss, as well as trying to get Trump to notice him, but I think a major part is he probably feels like life fucked him over, so he’s going to take his misery out on other people.

Was talking with west coast tech folks and I’m getting the impression Abbott and Patrick have screwed up royally. Originally, Austin was seen as a great destination for tech companies because of the favorable business climate combined with more central politics. 

Unfortunately, the far right policies of late, and the over the top political posturing have soured the tech community on the city and state. A lot of companies have now put on the brakes on future business plans in Texas. 

Dumbfucks.

I can easily leave Texas.  Leaving the US is a completely different kettle of fish.  It's a false choice, but Abbott in the Governor's office is far more tolerable than Trump in the White House.

I hate Abbott as much as anyone, but if he's stopping more Tech Bros from coming this way, I may only wish a short painful death on him.

The only tech bros we’re still attracting are the worst of them - crypto bros

This is Abbott’s Texas.  If he could get aroused, he would be anroused over seeing cops beating another Texan that he doesn’t like.  He wants these protests.

They are not real Texans in his mind.   Or people.

Well, the hipster UT prof that authored that CNN editorial sure knows where his bread is buttered. Just another middle-of-the-road professor. 

Citing W as some kind of intellectual role model is laughable, not to mention lauding Civitas (et al). His editorial seems reasonable and well-intentioned, until you read deeper and realize it is grounded in philosophical appeasement. 

The "Mack Brown Distinguished Chair” out front was the warning…

Scares ya to death!

Ha, I need to tell him that someone think he's a hipster UT prof. I can understand for someone like you, he's way too middle of the road. With that said, I'm also biased cause I'm in one of his classes in grad school.

the people attacking higher education always seem to forget these same institutions managed to produce THEM.

Gotta pull that ladder up after they get in the boat.

And I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything - Abbott has got to be just seething with rage after seeing Paxton hanging with Trump today.  That impotent little man will be looking to see more people hurt in Texas because Daddy Trump ain’t showing him any love.

Damn straight. 

And within the police/military/national guard, you can bet there are tons of Oakley-wearing goateed goons licking their chops at a chance to bash the heads of liberal UT students.

Nothing more symbolic than MAGA goons cracking skulls on the campus of the state’s flagship university. 


woke liberal ut students !!!!!!

very non white woke liberal ut student in there because of DEfuckingI !!!!

A feature not a bug. Continued influx of West Coast people and money threatens the evangelical wackjobs’ death grip on this state. They’d much rather Texas be a poorer, more backwards state they can rule than a wealthier more progressive one.

As a reminder, the Texas GOP literally made "removing critical thinking from schools" a priority because it "harmed parental control"

Wait - now A&M is the woke home of raging libtards and UT is the safe space for intolerant fascists?  
And Abbott actually makes me long for the salad days of Rick Perry?

Signs and wonders.

Think about all of the aggy out there pissed off that a Longhorn Governor is threatening their funding, but at the same time, they don't like that aggy is being labeled as woke.

Maybe they'll transfer their allegiance to Tech?

Kinda weird that Abbott, of all people, doesn't seem to understand how the PUF works.  Ironically about as well as the pro-Palestinian campus protestors understand it.  We're one business week away from him not allowing paralympic games anywhere in Texas because it violates his notion of fair play in sports.  

Can somebody please update the Simulation Version because this current one is getting weird even for me.  And that's saying something.

I dunno. Tech opened a gleaming, new, stand alone, one of a kind Black Cultural Center until Abbott made them close it

These motherfuckers.

You knew it was coming.  Be MAGA.  Shoot a minority.  Get a pardon. 

They aren't hiding who they are anymore.  Like, not even a little bit.

But, rest easy.  It's going to get much, much, much worse.  And you might be thinking "hey, even if the GQP wants to start pardoning lynch mobs and such, at least the feds will be there as a backstop to ensure that justice is done."  Not so fast, my friend....

He'll be an elected official somewhere in this shithole state within 2 years.

4th&Five gets it.  His campaign will be all about the LiberalSorosBiden witch hunt that wrongfully sent him to prison!  He went to prison fighting for YOU!  They came for HIM, and now he's running for office to protect YOU from the WOKE MOB!

He will waltz into office.  WALTZ.

Uh, I'm just gonna say it.  We all know it.  I hate to post it as a sibling of a disabled person myself. 

But does Greg know he's already in the perfect position to blow Trump without having to release a murderer out on the streets to impress Donald.

Of course. Because Abbott and the christofascists running the GQP in Texas want more deaths. More unrest & bloodied bodies in the streets = more chances for them to look tough on crime. They're sure as shit not interested in governing.

Oh, and Abbott has already signed the pardon.

Lesson: if you commit a crime that MAGA approves of/kill someone who MAGA would like to kill, you get off scot-free.  Full pardon, as if nothing ever happened.

MAGA has a license to kill in Texas.  They WILL use it.  Message sent and received.

Let's just go down the list of murders you can now commit in Texas:

If you hear a dr. provided any trans therapy -- from counseling to gender affirming surgery, or anything in-between -- you can kill that doctor to "protect society."

If you see a gathering of "leftists" demonstrating for ANYTHING, you can shoot them all because they were about to riot and burn the city.

If you see a black man being black, and we've all seen the statistics, black men are dangerous, you can shoot him because he's obviously a threat.

If you see a brown person in ratty clothes anywhere near the border (that is, anywhere south of Dalhart), you can shoot him because it's reasonable to conclude that he's a rapist drug smuggling invader.

 

What I typed above should be ridiculous hyperbole.  Within the next 2 years, at least one of those examples will be reality.

The worst governor of all time. 

While I agree, incredibly he's at near all time high approval rating (for himself):  https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/greg-abbott-job-approval-trend#overall

so the guy is not only a murderer, but also a pedophile?  Can we get Chris Hansen a gun in this fucking computer program?  What in the fuck is happening?  I'm going more insane than Brisket, and that's fucking saying something.

Oh, but remember, the GQP is SUPER-into going after pedophiles.  Why, it's the greatest threat civilization has ever seen!* THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO SHOOT DRAG QUEENS!

 

*  Except it's totally not a threat, and should be completely ignored, if the pedophile is MAGA, a GQP official, or works in/for a church.  WHY ARE YOU COMMITTING RELIGOUS PERSECUTION GOING AFTER THESE PEOPLE ANYWAY???
