I just hope he bough Raphael a ticket too. That guy HATES being in Texas when the people there are suffering more than he legislates for.
Abbott rolls out as Beryl rolls in.
Someone, please think of the comedy!
Greg is definitely not a stand up guy
Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.
Greg Abbott is indeed the littlest and pissiest of all the little piss babies there ever were
I'm sure they don't enforce handicap rules in that shithole state, so I truly think he actually is a piss baby. Greg Abbott that is.
I'm glad my Tax Dollars paid for his Vacation instead of LITERALLY ANYTHING TO HELP ANYONE AT ALL IN THE STATE!

This is the guy whose very own Lieutenant Gov Dan Patrick suggested during the peak of Covid that the elderly should unretire and get back to work!, sacrificing themselves for.. the economy. Seriously, that's not a joke, that actually happened. Both Abbott and Patrick are likely technically of "elder" age. Mother Nature clearly demands vengeance by way of Texan blood, even if it's the blood of hate filled shit-donuts like these two. We can round Cruz's age to elderly too, because fuck it
That's so Texas.
I give it a one-star rating.
"If I could give it less stars, I would. But one is the minimum."
It certainly seems like the governor fancies himself president of Texas. Heads of state means leader of countries not US states.

isnt it kinda par for the course that republicans abandon texas in a natural disaster, and rush off to some safe, comfortable country until it passes?
Meanwhile the evil liberal democrats aid organizations are on the ground before the rain stops giving help and aid to their constituents, who take it, then go home and cry about the evilbad demoncrats
Yeah republicans are really embracing the "evil cartoon villain" vibe the best that they can.
nah. Just embracing the deplorable.
Not even Cartoon Villains would fuck kids.
it's because they are utter cowards and are unable to face their constituents.
Why should he care for his people? They were stupid enough to vote for him once (at least enough of them, fuck the others), they will stay stupid enough to vote for him again.
As long as he continues to persecute people with melanin and women, he's fine. The insurance will cover the storm damage and they'll blame the liberal media for the fifty percent increase in premiums that follow.
Source: lived in this shit hole for twenty years and counting.
and they’ll blame the liberal media for the fifty percent increase in premiums that follow.
They'll probably blame the Democrats for the storm in the first place: "It's the Democrats that talk about this climate change nonsense, and now they have created this hurricane to support their hoax!!!"
"Trump would have nuked it for us!"
And then they would have complained about the nuclear fallout, created by the LibDems.
Ignorance is bliss, defund NOAA!

Maybe they can blame wind power again for their failing freedum grid.
Texans really like people who don't care about them, just like the people in my state of FL.
Its the "Free State of Florida" now per the new interstate signs.
I mean he's already a ghoul, is this that surprising? He's been racing to see whose state can out-suck Louisiana, with him and DeSantis neck and neck for last place.
Don't mess with Texas, especially when there's a crisis!
Or what, they’re gonna fuck their grid up even more? Secede?
I wish they'd just shut the hell up and secede already. It's like having an abusive spouse who just won't stop threatening to leave. Just leave, we don't want you.
Don't mess with texas, the ones with money will just leave
Is Cruz with him? Seems about time for him to jet off somewhere too.
Isn't he already in Cancun again or was that just a joke?
Does this count as elitist in the minds of the cons? They have so perverted the term.
Tickets to the Philippines and then Cancun Mexico please....
Greg Abbott didn't earn the nickname "hot wheels" for nothin.
He should go see some sawtooth oaks while he's there.
