a look at the produce shelves at our local market give mute testimony to Abbots idiot blunder.

‘Economic arsonist’ Greg Abbott slammed by Beto O’Rourke over supply chain-threatening truck inspections

Act first ,think second! Abbot’s motto.

Republican platform: Do more harm

95% of so-called ‘conservatism’ is stuff that right wingers make up and then are OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!! about it.

.

Abbott’s own contribution to this list was when he sent out the ‘Texas Guard’, or whatever it was, because Obama was invading Texas.

And now, he has ‘decided’ that commerce with Mexico suddenly must be f’ed over because, uh, something?

And all so-called conservatives are OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

Obama was born in Kenya!!!! He must be impeached!!!

OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!!!!!!!!!

And Mexico will pay for it!!!!!!!!!

Climate change is not real!!!!!

Widespread undetectable voter fraud!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats are pedophiles!!!!!!!!!!!

Vaccines contain microchips!!!!!!!!! Bill Gates!!!!!!!!! George Soros!!!!!!!!!!

Ivermectin prevents COVID!!!!!!!!! Also cures it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats are trafficking children in the basement of a pizza place!!!!!!!!!! (built on a concrete slab) And drinking their blood!!!!!

Saddam has nucular weapons!!!!!!!!!! And did 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn’t and insurrection, it was riot/tantrum/tourist excursion!!!!!!!!!! And ANTIFA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandy Hook never happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, what would you expect from a “governor” who allows the people of his state to get sick and, in some cases, die!

Migrants are voluntarily accepting a free bus ticket from Texas to places like Miami at TX taxpayers’ expense; and now Abbott is disrupting the import supply chain cause that worked so well for the Canadian truckers.

Remember that it was Abbott’s Texas Republican Party that inserted into the party platform a few years ago a statement opposing the teaching of critical thinking in public schools .

One would think that a blunder like this would end Abbott’s ambitions, if not his political career entirely. Unfortunately his Trumpist minions will blame everything on President Biden, ill informed Texas voters will believe it, and a far better qualified candidate will lose to him again in the next election so that Republicans will be proclaiming him presidential material.

Did the people of Texas really choose this inept twit over Wendy Davis?

Bus leaves Texas with 32 immigrants. Bus arrives in D. C. with 3 people on board. Thanks for the ride, Gov.

So, who has a border policy that helps the United States? Biden or Abbott?

DeSensitive and Abbutt seem to be posturing to see who can get the Trumplican votes with the most asinine stunts. I was going to say they were both in the running but that would be insensitive, but they are both posturing for the a*****e of the year.

Greg Abbott’s truck inspections an utter failure as state admits no traffickers were found

Stunt pulling republicans are hysterical nitwits.

It appears Governor Abbot plum ran out of ideas. This one looks to have backfired. But I do give him credit for his attempt again ! to keep National awareness on illegal immigration, drug smuggling and shooting conflicts across the border with the cartels. This is a big problem that is soon to get much bigger for every one of the Southern border states.

Commentators: Hold your armchair criticisms unless you are willing to swap places tomorrow with any one directly involved with either policing the crossings or in-taking the thousands of individuals successfully immigrating into the United States.

Per recent estimates of 18,000 immigrants per day starting after Policy 42 goes away — that is 6,570,000 people in one year. Every community in the U.S. needs to accept and adopt new neighbors. And they are families meaning that the 1st year’s number will increase considerably in the next year compounded by the next year’s in-take in yet larger numbers driven by world-wide famine exacerbated by the loss of grain crops due to the war in Ukraine.

Within the U.S. we need to increase production in all industries to provide new jobs and more income. Income will produce taxes that will fund government. This can only be accomplished in the short term by alleviating regulations and policies that restrict business growth.

Get out of the way, government, you are only slowing things down! Free markets will solve the problem faster and better with less unproductive bureaucracy.

He’s already rolled that plan back. I would have said “walked” but that would be cruel…

I can F up more in a day or two with my spectacularly imbecilic RWNJ border policy than any given presidential 4 year term in this century ever came close to.

And I KNOW this is a great accomplishment — just listen to me toot my own horn about it every time a microphone is within range of my blabbering pie hole!

AND we have 206 days until election day, 206 days in which the Guv will feel the need to demonstrate to his GQP base that he is more Trumpian than his Republican primary and Democratic general opponents. AND he also feels the need to be more Trumpian than DeSantis, Rubio, Cruz…oh Lord, save us from the greed of an ambitious man!

And the truly scary part is that of the three most powerful people in theTexas Government Abbot is the least bad! Paxton is a crook, and Patrick is an even bigger Regressive Zealot than Abbot!

Willfully destructive idiocy!
