Do you, or anyone else on here, know how to assist in these lawsuits?
Same as Lee in Tennessee. I can understand Abbott not having a spine; it was crushed by a tree. Lee has gone into full pnssy hat mode.
I don’t, but if you find out, let me know!
I did contribute the House Freedom Caucus, which is linked in the article.
Absolutely correct analysis, well-stated, and sad. I, too, was a bushie - campaigned for him, paid my own way to the inauguration, stood in rotten weather to cheer his election. I wouldn’t shake his hand now if he begged me on bended knee.
We certainly are!
As a Colorado transplant since 1970 to Texas, I respectfully submit you don’t have a clue what we’re doing here. We’ve been melting the phone lines telling the Governor exactly how we feel, as well as the mayor, and county officials. Doesn’t mean they listen, much to their detriment...
“Abbot is either being controlled/compelled or his allegiance has run afoul and common sense thrown out the window under the political pressure from the RINO’s that care only for their own political expediency.”
Is it possible that Abbot is shacking up with a liberal bimbo, and she’s got his balls in a vise? Just asking.
I’ve seen this on Indian reservations where warriors turn into weenies.
Great information Kaslin. Abbot is a clown who only runs as a Republican because he knows he couldn’t get elected dog catcher as a Democrat.
I have been completely disregarding all the signs saying "you must wear a mask to enter" and other such garbage. So far no one has said anything at all to me about it. No one cares.
“Curious about Abbott’s motivation on this one.”
He doesn’t want Texans to die of the Coronavirus.
Gov. Abbott is strongly pro-life for the born, as well as the unborn. Maybe he’s being too careful, I don’t know, but right or wrong, I hope the citizens of Texas don’t forget what a great governor he has been.
This entire thing hasn't lived up to the hype. The projections were all horribly wrong! It's so bad that the Left is now terrifying citizens with the number of new cases. They don't mention death rate or recovery rate. That wouldn't scare you enough into submission.
Interesting. I didn't think Abbott was like that. I always thought he was a strong Conservative.
Of course, what do I know? I thought 'W' was Conservative enough that I made him my FR screen name........ 😬
“He doesn’t want Texans to die of the Coronavirus.”
That’s so very naive and of childish idealism to believe that Abbot doesn’t want Texans to die form Coronavirus. And if that were even remotely true then why doesn’t Abbot close down the highways and roads to prevent automobile accident deaths; outlaw alcohol, cigarettes, and abortions.
If Abbot/government cared so much about saving lives then government MUST outlaw cars, murder(human free will), trains, planes, cigarettes, alcohol, abortions, illicit/most drugs, suicides, obesity, candy, ice-cream, steaks, pizza, carcinogens, sodas, poisons, chemicals, knives, guns, clubs, ropes, hammers, axes, sheets, pillows, piano wire, fishing lines and on-and-on. Yes, anything that can be deemed a means that could risk health/death or be used by individual-agency to cause the same. Indeed, eventually free will, choice, leaving your home and walking would be heavily regulated in the name of health and saving lives. Indeed, just think of all the lives government can save from bad habits and bad choices?
LOL! How much more absurd and ridiculous do you want to get?
I take coronavirus(COVID-19) no more seriously than the 1000’s of pathogens I am exposed to EVERY SINGLE DAY. As well as EVERY risk to my life from the choices I make to the acts of God I cannot control. I am at risk of harm and loss of my life every time I drive my car... every step I take, every moment of every waking hour of every day of my life. It’s called... ‘living’! Yes, that’s life! And the only way I cope with the everyday exposure of life’s risks is to ignore it all and just live.
Contracting COVID-19 is NOT a death sentence. No more a death sentence then any influenza virus contracted each flu season. Over 50,000 die in the US every year from complications caused by influenza, and an annual WORLDWIDE influenza epidemic that results in 3-5 million cases of severe illness and mortality upwards between 350,000 & 500,000 deaths... EVERY YEAR! That’s just from the influenza virus strains alone.
Good grief! We risk death EVERY day when we get behind the wheel of our car, travel on a bus, train, plane or simply by walking. We risk illness/death every day to pathogen exposure when we engage in free-roaming personal movement; social/trade/business commerce; continually exposing ourselves to infection through numerous common contagion venues. Do you think twice about that risk; that you could die!? NO! If you did, you would never leave the house having locked yourself in a sealed bubble!
Be it old age, an accident, by a choice, bad-luck or god... life is full of risks. And one day death will finally find you, and that is 100% inevitable.
Allow your immune system and nature to do its job. A virus will be a virus. It infects/spreads and then fades-away/burns-out. Naturally built immunity along with herd immunity is what causes the virus to lose its virulence... not by wearing stupid porous masks. You can’t hide from or run from COVID. Sooner or later you WILL be infected. If you feel so insecure than STAY HOME! It is YOUR responsibility to be vigilant using personal precautions if you feel at-risk or vulnerable, NOT to have government force everyone else to be a wall of protection built around you for the sake of YOUR safety!
Quarantine is meant for those who are clinically sick with a virulent life-threatening disease ... NOT for those who are asymptomatic and healthy.
So grow up everybody, use common sense and stop being fear-mongering ‘Karen’ control freaks... and leave the mask shaming hysteria at home.
Government isn’t Mommy, and we aren’t children that need protection from life’s choices.
Unless you are clinically-ill with quarantine... it is YOUR choice to wear a mask and YOUR choice to leave your home. It is NOT the responsibility or authority of government to control/impose either in the name of ‘saving lives.’
That’s pure BS!
“.. the Left is now terrifying citizens with the number of new cases. They don’t mention death rate or recovery rate. ..”
I know that, and I don’t like it either, but what does that have to do with Gov. Abbott wanting to do the best for his citizens?
He’s been a great governor, and only hindsight will show if he is right or wrong at this moment in time. He DID open up the State, because of the recent setback, and is just being careful for awhile. He is sincere, and he is brave. In fact, EWTN praised him for his bravery on his fight against abortion.
We still don’t know everything about coronavirus, so Abbott is being prudent. It would be easy for him to just give in to the opposition. Just as he was brave in fighting for unborn babies, he is brave now.
No politican is perfect, but if you look at his overall record, you will see that Gov. Abbott is quite close to perfect.
“..If Abbot/government cared so much about saving lives then government MUST outlaw cars, murder(human free will), trains, planes, cigarettes, alcohol, abortions, illicit/most drugs, suicides, obesity, ..”
We don’t know that much about coronavirus, and it’s still NOT OVER. Governor Abbott is just being careful. He opened up Texas, and is only having a pause because things are getting worse. Maybe he’ll be able to open things up again soon.
Perhaps you SHOULD take the virus more seriously, and I’m glad many governors are.
But to pile on such a fine governor so easily is downright scarry. Some here are acting like the liberals, that if a politician does not agree with them 100%, they are bad.
They ought to have a governor like Andrew Cuomo for awhile, who won’t allow physicians to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine, probably the best treatment to fight Coronavirus. AND by Executive Order Cuomo caused the deaths of 6,200 New Yorkers to die from coronavirus by forcing nursing homes to take COVID patients.
Texas has a fantastic governor, but some don’t appreciate him because Gov. Abbott doesn’t agree with them 100%.
BTTT!!!
He and the media are preparing an onslaught nonstop campaign claiming that because he kept the state (and all the other states), under mandates, that it was a success. This all is vs. Trump
In other words, that will use the exact statistics in this article, and sinisterly, use it against Trump. Vile.
In other words, they will use the exact same statistics in this article, and sinisterly, use it against Trump. Vile.
