It's refreshing to have a President declare a federal emergency without extorting praise

President Biden just doing his job for ALL AMERICANS(whether they voted for him or not) even in a state where succession is on the table and one of the state’s Senators tried to overturn the election.

AUSTIN, Texas (KWTX) - Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the White House has issued a Federal Emergency Declaration for Texas in response to the severe winter weather throughout the state. The Governor submitted a request for this declaration on Saturday to assist the State in response efforts related to the storm.

President Donald Trump says he’s willing to help blue-state governors who are struggling to contain coronavirus outbreaks — but only if they’re willing to stop criticizing him in exchange.

“It’s a two-way street,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. “They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, ‘Oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.’”

a lot more than we realize, in one form or another. To admit it to the press as if it's something to be proud of, or even acceptable, is mind-blowing.

This could lead to a federal take-over of the entire region, just like Jade Helm didn't. Hasn't Abbot learned his lesson?

JFC. When your theories and fever dreams are congruent in any way with those of Louie Gohmert, you, or someone who looks out for your welfare should recognize that you need help.
