1. Goddamn tree didn't do its job

[underpants]

15. No.

There’s NO reason to take that POS’s feelings into consideration.

[StarryNite]

30. The tree had one job to do and it failed.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. What is he referring to?

Sounds pointless.

[rurallib]

7. my recollection is that Abbott made his money when his neighbors tree fell on him

and then Abbott sued for a huge sum

[Frasier Balzov]

11. Yes that's what Wikipedia says.

I'm certainly not against compensation for injury.

But his bellicosity toward Canada seems entirely gratuitous.

Is he just being a wheelchair-bound MAGA asshole?

[LeftInTX]

20. I'm with you. I see no connection between his accident and his remark at Canada.

Maybe he's just being an ass?

[underpants]

19. Yep

He sued the homeowner and a tree service company, resulting in an insurance settlement that provided him with lump sum payments every three years until 2022 along with monthly payments for life, both of which were adjusted for inflation.[292] As of August 2013, the monthly payment was US$14,000 and the three-year lump sum payment was US$400,000, all tax-free. Abbott has said he relied on the money to pay for nearly three decades of medical expenses and other costs.[292]

28. Tree missed its mark.

[applegrove]

3. I'm sure Canada can get parts for oil platforms in Europe.

[Frasier Balzov]

14. Oh, is THAT what he's implying? Embargo?

Trusting in Trump so backing up Trump no matter how pointless, stupid and harmful?

[applegrove]

25. I just assumed. I don't know that for a fact.

[bluestarone]

4. So many to wish death for!

So many. How did we get here?

[bronxiteforever]

5. Careful Abbott

Canada is a country and not an immigrant child (Abbott’s victim of choice)

[SheltieLover]

29. This!

[malaise]

6. Canada should send a tree that knows

How to finish a job

[Lovie777]

8. Careful Abbot ...................

California sides with Canada.

[spanone]

9. WTF you gonna do greg?

This guy couldn't be a bigger asshole.

[Irish_Dem]

10. A nice change of pace from Abbott waging war on Americans.

[MagickMuffin]

24. Or his fellow Texans, like myself

He only governs for a slim majority of Texans. The rest of us he holds in contempt, especially us women!

[Irish_Dem]

33. Like most MAGAs he loathes women.

They terrorize and threaten women for fun.

[Dave Bowman]

12. So is California and New York. Personally I would prefer to do business with them rather than Texas.

That being said, go to hell Buttman.

[Irish_Dem]

13. These MAGAs just love hating and fighting with someone at all times.

[LSparkle]

16. That is all they have: hate and violence

[Irish_Dem]

21. And they don't seem to care who they fight, women, children, doctors, etc.

[surfered]

17. Another embarrassment for Texas

[William769]

18. ...

[Raven123]

22. Should be interesting to see how this plays out

Given the relationship between Texas and Canada per Canada:

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if some states figured a way around the tariffs to trade with Mexico and Canada. Wishful thinking, but I believe the GOP would have no problem with this strategy if Biden was doing what Trump is doing.

[Hitorque]

23. Can I just say how fucking sick and tired I am

Of politicians thinking they're actually "doing something" by typing out a snarky tweet? It's so fucking lazy and dumbs down political discourse...

Hell, I contend Donnie never would have gotten close to the White House were it not for Twitter

[Skittles]

27. it is so fucking unprofessional

I would have been FIRED from my IT job for garbage like that.

[Skittles]

26. so busy busy humping Trump

disgusting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. Abbott is what many of us call a Texas Shithead

Someone from that state whose mouth is bigger than his brain.

[SheltieLover]

32. I am amazed by how enraged they become when someone (individual, state or country) refuses to kow-tow to their abuse

Entitled little fraidy snowflakes...

[Dan]

34. Be careful ABBUTT, Trump might soon identify you as a DEI hire.

[everyonematters]

35. They only have to outlast if for four years at the most.

They will probably have to take on some debt, but I would bet they could do it.
