Can we expect this show of humility and gratitude from Abbott?..... Probably not.



BTW, how's that lawsuit coming, Abbie? Perfect timing, chief.


https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Gov-Abbott-calls-Biden-s-energy-plan-a-15906623.php
Gov. Greg Abbott vowed on (Jan 28) to fight the new Biden administration’s climate change agenda, calling it a direct threat to the state’s energy sector.

“Texas is going to protect the oil and gas industry from any type of hostile attack launched from Washington, D.C.,” he said after a roundtable meeting with industry leaders in Odessa.

I guess we can just colonize another planet or something. They don’t care. They’ll be dead when it all goes to pot.

so he could run in 2016.

Although I do believe he was thankful.

The Texas Gov sucks but so does Christie.

had moments of humanity and knew how to work with people. I don't feel like the same is true of Abbott. After all the demands that governors kiss Trump's ass to get any help with covid last year... it's frustrating that you'll have hard liners refusing to budge.

I am really happy that so many people around the country are mobilizing to help texas, though. They need the help.

They also need to start voting other people in. People who actually care about their well being.
