1. I don't like this guy at all, but we need all governors to send this message in all states

And we need it from the Dotard in Chief. Unfortunately he is clearly not capable of addressing the seriousness of the situation

2. Bye Governor Abbott!

4. Face covering...he can't call it a mask. Chickenshit.

Not enough. People are not going to heed his request because it has no teeth.

I hope it works, but we shall see.

5. Actually, it does..

Maybe not enough but..

According to Abbott, first-time violators will be issued a warning. If violated a second time, a $250 fine will be issued, said the governor.

6. Yea, I heard that, but we have a police union here in Harris County who, back when

the Mayor issued mask and stay at home orders, that they would not enforce them.

So I am not to hopeful that the threat of a $250 dollar fine will do anything more than act as lip service. Lots of our police here are just as christofascist as anyone else. I'm thinking that warnings are all that will be offered, but I fear that people will start fights and lash out with violence because they feel like their rights are being infringed upon and the anti-mask crowd will not be wearing masks.

I hope it works, but I remain skeptical because we waited to long and the message is muddled and anti-maskers now feel emboldened.

Thanks for the link to the article, I had read that earlier.
