Bussing people across the country like they're livestock as part of a political stunt devoid of any real policy solutions, then exacerbating supply chain issues making the lives of truckers & all Americans harder & somehow, Greg Abbott thinks this is good governing.

The election will tell us. Voters do not seem to have long term memory when they go to vote. Case in point is the loss of their electric grid in 2021 which resulted in hundreds of deaths. It constantly amazes me that voters vote against their own best interest.

This is wrong, seems unlawful.
As a Texan, having lived here since since before this man was ever born, I don't know what to do.
I know he must be removed, but what do we really do?

There should be thousands of all of us on all the streets. Oh well........
Tears.

I do need to add, I can truly say he is most evil politician I've run into in my lifetime, and I'm soon to be 65.
