did you see abbott try and steal Joe and Jill's moment and the town told him to FO

[demtenjeep]

President and Dr. Biden were laying a beautiful arrangement of flowers and everything was quite and respectful.


abbott tries to wheel his way into the scene and the people started to tell him to fuck off.




Why did he have to do this today? He has been there since Tuesday but he waits until President and Dr. Biden lay their flowers?



pander

[dchill]

1. Probably because he's a miserable piece of shit.

Just a guess.

[questionseverything]

2. Me thinks that's a good guess

[demtenjeep]

3. he wants some good press

riding Biden's coattails



but the people KNOW better and that he is a piece of shit

[hamsterjill]

6. No, using the words of Don McLaughlin, Uvalde mayor

Abbott is a sick son of a bitch

[Takket]

11. you nailed it!

[sarge43]

22. Trump Lite with a soupcon of self awareness n/t

[MyOwnPeace]

28. And a damned good guess it is!

[Warpy]

48. He's a terrified, miserable piece of shit

He knows damned full well who rubber stamped the legislation tht allowed that twisted punk to buy his guns, no questions asked.

He wants to put down a $5 stuffed toy in the tope it will make all that go away.

I mean, it usually works, right?

[Grins]

54. He thinks he's Trump. Remember him in Europe pushing...

…aside other foreign heads of state?

[demtenjeep]

18. thank you

for the video

[Irish_Dem]

5. A toxic narcissist desperate for attention and good PR.

I am surprised he didn't knock Jill and Joe over to steal the spotlight.

[txwhitedove]

8. Yep, watched it. Abbott, Cruz, Repub's now have ahold of a hornets nest. They won't

be able to fix this.

[calimary]

20. ... unless we forget or get sidetracked.

[Sogo]

31. It's the only reason Mitch McConnell has told Senator Cornyn (TX) to begin

"bipartisan" negotiations with Senator Murphy (of CT) on a measure for gun control.

They know the sentiment is turning in a big way against unregulated guns.

I believe McConnell, being aware that more Hispanics are leaning Republican, wants them to believe the Republicans care about what happened in Uvalde and wants them to see Cornyn as the one taking the lead in TX.

[txwhitedove]

32. Agree completely.

[TheBlackAdder]

37. It's temporary, until things cool a little, then McConnell & Reps will block everything again.

[2naSalit]

51. Time wasting tactic.

That shit needs to end.

[ShazzieB]

57. OMG, I hope you're right about this.

I really, really hope you're right!

[Lonestarblue]

9. Abbott is one sick man. He will do or say anything to be reelected.

Uvalde is typically a Republican county. Perhaps this incident will convince them that Republicans bring nothing but harm to their communities.

[KS Toronado]

16. Wish we could

convince all Independent voters (who decide elections) that reQublicOns bring nothing but harm & chaos.

[Samrob]

19. Many themselves have been brainwashed about "the others" meaning black Americans. They don't

realize how they have been used and that they are a large part of "the others" as seen by most whites. Sad. I have some in my own multi-racial family. There is no changing their minds even though they married into a black American family and their children are mixed. They really see themselves as different especially if their skin tone is light.

[rso]

10. Abbott

Abbot is just spinning his wheels, he has no leg to stand on.

[NQCowboy68]

15. He's pushing too hard. He needs to put the brakes on and slow down.

[winstars]

21. I see what you did there... Nice one...

[sheilahi]

27. Hey Madison, you okay under there?

What's he doing? Sitting on top of Cawthorne?

[onecaliberal]

12. President Biden didn't acknowledge him.

The crowd was yelling at him.

[maxrandb]

13. Uvalde voted 60% for Donnie Dipshit

Heard someone on NPR this morning implying that President Biden wouldn't be welcomed there.

Call it the power of Hate Radio and 24/7 Faux News.

[GoCubsGo]

24. The NPR folks probably missed Donny Crappleseed's NRA appearance.

I'm sure a lot of that 60% are having regrets about their vote after seeing it. And, judging from what I have been reading and seeing, it does not appear that Biden was not welcomed there.

[GoCubsGo]

49. Thank Stephen Colbert for that one.

He has a new one pretty much every day.

[dchill]

34. 60%? But who counted the votes?

[True Blue American]

36. Fooled them didn't he?

They were so happy to see him, they crowded around hi.

One of the victims parents turned down Abbott. They said their daughter did not like him.

Abbott looked desperate today. Beto must ne gaining.

[Meadowoak]

43. im guessing, a lot of Uvalde is undocumented and can't vote.

[txwhitedove]

58. More than 1 elementary school in Ulvalde. Texas was Mexico before it was Texas U.S.

Many have lived here for generations. Most recent stats show 92.19% White. Only about 40 miles from San Antonio though.

Research.

[wnylib]

52. I heard that on NPR. It was another example

of NPR's anti Biden bias. Sounded to me like they were hoping that Biden would be booed.

[gratuitous]

14. Dear Texas

Can you find it in your collective heart to vote this sad sack son of a bitch out of office? Preesh.

[Cozmo]

23. Texans will never learn. They've had multiple opportunities but insist on screwing themselves

There is no hope for them, ever!

[flying_wahini]

44. Excuse me? Texan here. You must not understand what we are up against.

[electric_blue68]

59. I hear you. I have a long time Liberal Texan friend who...

lives in a small town in Dallas's orbit.

After Biden was declared the winner she posted on
FB ... I'd dance in the street, but I might get shot!

😳

So, yeah...

[Magoo48]

17. ReTrumplicans are always playing this low IQ, sociopathic game. Now,

I’m not the highest card in the deck, but the game they are playing is way beyond my reach.

Nevertheless, I do know disgusting when I see it.

[spanone]

25. Because he's an evil shit.

[XanaDUer2]

26. He's a zero, not a hero nt

[Celerity]

29. fuck that RW POS House Rethug Tony Gonzales too

[Tickle]

30. He's in a wheelchair? Nt

[UTUSN]

38. You didn't know? When he was a college student jogging, a rotted tree fell on him

and he became a paraplegic. He sued the landscaper and property owner, fine, and got ($15?) millions, fine. But when he got into politics one of his earliest projects was to get a CAP of $250K put on damages for similar lawsuits.

He's been a prick on anything having to do with disadvantaged people from Day 1 - slashing services, serving donors/fatcats, refusing Federal funds for Medicaid, and on and on. But zooming to get photo ops (think "mariachis" ) with minorities after every slash. All for guns and anti-Choice, and constant flirting with White Supremacists.

But he's got a killer SMILE. Plus, besides being in a wheelchair that exempts him from criticism, he's married to a half-Latina (her mother Mexican-American; father White), such that he's also exempt from criticism on racial grounds, although she hasn't been seen since his first inauguration, while the old mother-in-law was paraded through tons of campaign ads (now deceased?).

[Tickle]

39. I never heard that

but then again I’ve only recently started reading about him in politics

[vlyons]

33. 2 words

no class

[True Blue American]

35. He was there at the coptor to greet The Bidens, then took offwhile they were still talking to people

Then tried to butt in on their laying flowers and talking to people.

[LiberalFighter]

40. Is that oak tree still around from 1984?

[Rebl2]

41. Yes!

Made me so angry! Guess he’s thinking he’s getting back for Beto interrupting his news conference earlier in the week. What happened though was the crowd screaming at him-abbott.

[BlackSkimmer]

42. But he wasn't at the press conference with the head cop.

Coward.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. I am glad that Abbott was booed

[MustLoveBeagles]

46. Yes and the townspeople weren't having any of it

[Skittles]

50. Abbott doesn't care about slaughtered kids

he cares about photo ops, and disliked being upstaged by Biden - not a good look for the cult he performs for

[Blue Owl]

53. That little fuckweasel

[Javaman]

55. Because, as I have said in the past many times

Repukes are nothing more than craven opportunist sycophants.

He gives less than zero shits about the kids and the teachers that were killed, he’s was trying to get some of the real empathy to rub off on him from the Biden’s.

Asshole abbott is, as most repukes are now, either a sociopath or a psychopath. He can’t do empathy, he has no idea what it is.

So rather that emote, which is impossible for him, he goes for the craven photo op.

He’s a fucking pice of shit

[louis-t]

56. Flipping thru channels today, 700 Club came up.

They were playing a video of Biden and chants of "DO SOMETHING!" from the crowd. Not sure if it was manipulated or if it actually happened. I doubt they played a video of Abbott being booed.
