WTAF is wrong with Greg Abbott?

[Fresh Water Falling]

He's trying to kill people! What's next, stomping puppies to death? Jesus, I think Jeff Bezos is a mad dictator for not allowing piss breaks! But allowing employers to prevent their workers from getting water on a brutally-hot day? That puts him on the Mao-Stalin-Hitler spectrum!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

1. And with what is happening with the heat..

somebody is going to die of heat stroke.

I don't think the grieving family will not just stop at suing the business. Abbott will also be.

[Danmel]

2. What is this about?

'Abbott has blood on his hands': Beto O'Rourke slams Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for river buoys - MSNBC
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017847452

"It's effectively a drowning device," Beto O'Rourke says of river buoys placed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to deter migrants. "They've also placed barrels wrapped in razor wire under the surface of the river... Greg Abbott has blood on his hands." - MSNBC Reports - Aired on 07/21/2023.

[Danmel]

5. That is seriously f'd up

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I know! Abbott has been responsible for several deaths and injuries among migrants seeking asylum

And here we thought it was horrible when DeSantis put migrants from Texas on planes and let them off in a northern "sanctuary city" - without letting the city officials know they were coming nor letting the migrants know where they were going. And this includes families with small children.

[Danmel]

15. The cruelty is the point

Sick, sadistic mfs

[Bluethroughu]

19. Omg!

I just gagged!

This is a real life chainsaw massacre movie, and Abbott's the psycho in real life!

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Exactly! His cruelty and disregard for human life defies description and he was reelected as governor

Not to mention he did nothing to improve the power grid despite the number of deaths when Texas was hit with a terrible snowstorm in 2022 and so many residents lost power (the one where Ted Cruz left for Cancun) - and he allowed the NRA convention to continue in Texas (though he made his appearance virtually) immediately after the mass shooting of children and their teachers in Uvalde.

[Bluethroughu]

25. Texas is a wasteland, until the people stand up and purge these psychos

From their legislature. I do understand Gerrymandering, but they voted for him in majority so there is a problem with the majority of Texas.

[raccoon]

4. C'mon, yall, let's get this on Greatest!

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. A tree fell on the sumbitch, so now he's going to take it out on everyone.

Do I regret that? Yeah, I regret that God didn't have better aim.

But I always think back to, "Yeah, he's a piece of crap, but he didn't just fall out of the heavens. People VOTED for this particular piece of crap." And then I despair.

[Boomerproud]

14. You hit it right there. It's the people who support and vote for him

That deserve contempt and cause despair. They are loving this.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. God's pretty much a sadistic fuck. Perhaps God meant to have Abbott do all of these things.

.

God could have changed everybody's minds to the way he desired. Instead sends what is to be his son to be killed in a most brutal way. Just to return to re-assume the role as the Good Cop in the duo.

[Skittles]

7. but....but....he's CHRISTIAN!.....and PRO-LIFE!

[Eugene]

8. Abbott is simultaneously involved in four WTF-level acts of depravity.

no water breaks for workers

another busload of migrants

pushing migrant kids back into the Rio Grande

razor-wire topped buoys in the Rio Grande

[justgamma]

10. I thought this is what was being talked about.

House Bill 2127 passed the state Legislature and Gov. Greg Abbott promptly signed it into law on June 14. The bill, which goes into effect in September, strips construction workers in Austin and Dallas of the right to water breaks every four hours and time to rest in the shade while on the job.Jul 7, 2023

[pfitz59]

37. I supervise employees who work in the hot sun

They all get water bottles and can drink whenever needed. They also get 10-minute breaks every 2 - 3 hours and a half hour paid break every 5 hours. No one's died on me yet. Abbott's actions can only lead to never-ending lawsuits, and immeasurable suffering.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Whatever is wrong with him is also wrong with the Texas...

legislature that passed this and the Texas voters that put them in office.

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Your move, DeSantis... nt

[MissMillie]

24. no kidding, eh?

Who can sink the lowest?

[Nululu]

13. That and throwing babies into the river. Kindling pregnant women

Who's next?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

16. What ISN'T wrong with that's murderous idiot?!?!

[paleotn]

17. Repukes in their truest form.

Rip off the mask, and they all look like Abbott. They really are that fucking evil.

[malaise]

18. He never forgave that tree

and is mean, nasty and hateful.
Just saying

[LymphocyteLover]

20. He is possessed by an evil demon, much like deSantis and tRump

The demon known as MAGA

[Bluethroughu]

26. Hell is empty and the devils are all here.

[LymphocyteLover]

34. Ah, that explains it!

[Bluethroughu]

35. Yeah, Shakespeare saw it for what it is.

[HAB911]

22. He can't stomp anything

maybe that's his problem, a chip on his shoulder because he can't even walk

[MissMillie]

23. Oh, he's just showing what a good Christian he is (/sarcasm)(/nt)

.

[LiberalArkie]

27. He is just a Dixiecrat or maybe a Dixiepublican. Whatever. I remember how they treated the people

in south Arkansas. Take the chain gang out during hot and cold days to work the roads. Damn, if they dropped, they just whipped them until they got back up. This was in the 50's and early 60's. The city work gangs had mostly kids in them. Shoplifters etc.

Greg, and Sanders, and DeSantis - yes they get off on power, the Dixies always do and really enjoy death. Lynching was a slow death by strangulation. Not the modern hanging where they try to break the neck, this was put a noose around the neck and a group of people pull the rope until the person of off the ground and then they watch the show of a person floundering around.

The Dixies have always enjoyed a good show.

[mopinko]

28. that water shit- wtaf is wrong w employers?

whose idea was that law, anyway?
but saying it’s not required is 1 thing. ppl actually denying water is an individual carrying that out.
what kind of person does that?
what a shithole state.

[rubbersole]

29. Abbott has Molly Ivins absolutely spinning.

She would be irate. Miss her.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

32. Nah

She made a very good living from writing about people just like him.

How do you think she got so famous, anyway? She had endless material to skewer in the Texas government.

[Blue Owl]

31. He is one SICK FUCK

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. DeathSantis and Greg Abbott are in a contest to out asshole TFG

This is Greg's latest stunt to try to get noticed

[NowISeetheLight]

36. Saving America

He's saving America... White America that is... from the Great Replacement Theory. Stop "Those people" from getting in.



Forget being a human being and having empathy. Cruelty and hate are the new GQP order of the day.

[Initech]

38. What's wrong with his Christian right enablers?

They're the ones letting him get away with this bullshit and they'll elect someone worse as his successor. Something is truly rotten in this country and it's way past time to start fixing it. I personally blame the MAGA Christian right - the source of all of our misery since the Nixon administration.
