Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Friday that he will roll back some of the state’s reopening as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continue to rise.

What a weak sister...come on, put on your big boy pants and stop letting the state slide into Austin...

PDJT, how about reaching out to Abbot and slapping him.

Market dropping another 500 pts today and doesn't have to.

Wow Abbott is ordering all the bars to close! Where are the freedom lovers in Texas these days? Nowhere to be found? Are they going to take this lying down?

What’s Abbot’s history? Was he ever associated with the Bushes or a never Trumper originally? or associated with Cruz?

I smell something fishy.

Texas hospital CEO: COVID inpatient count ‘misinterpreted,’ level of alarm ‘unwarranted’

Queries to multiple Texas hospital officials this week went unanswered. But leaders of several major hospitals in Houston this week urged the public to remain calm, suggesting that the extent of the outbreak has been overstated.

At a virtual press conference on Thursday, the chief executives of Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann Health System, St. Luke’s Health, and Texas Children’s hospitals stated that their hospitals are well-prepared to handle an even greater increase in patients than that which has emerged over the past few weeks.

Abbot is turning into a real disappointment.

The order includes the following:

• The order includes the following:
• All bars and similar establishments that receive more than 51% of their gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages are required to close at 12:00 pm Friday. These businesses may remain open for delivery and take-out, including for alcoholic beverages, as authorized by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
• Restaurants may remain open for dine-in service, but at a capacity not to exceed 50% of total listed indoor occupancy, beginning Monday.
• Rafting and tubing businesses must close.
• Outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people must be approved by local governments, with certain exceptions.

What’s Abbot’s history?

Made his forture sueing a homeowner after being injured while jogging past their house on a public right of way.

Answers: Few and far between. Pretty much. Looks like it.

The left can pretty much do what it wants with very few repercussions. In that sense, the left has won the war for the soul of the country.

The Left has the country by the 'nads.

The proper response is to ignore these commands at every possible opportunity and in every way possible. The alternative is to obey.

He’s weak and straddling the fence.

I could handle him being full-bore kitty cat and possibly even understand.

I certainly would love John Wayne (how I saw him prior) but this fence straddling?

...pshaw

[SanchoP]

Just in time for July 4th. Yesterday he basically bankrupted the healthcare system. Today he’s trying to finish destroying the economy. Wimpy has gone full blown ‘rat.

[bjcoop]

Scumbag move. Like the homeowner knew a lightning strike would occur and cause treee branch to fall on him

[fortheDeclaration]

Same here! Have you sent him a message letting him know? The guy doesn’t have a clue on what is going on and is a petty tyrant.

[fortheDeclaration]

Communism!

[fortheDeclaration]

I agree, there should be massive outrage over these acts. Abbott is acting without any checks and balances and is destroying businesses!

I just did. The slimy little bastard has pissed me off yet again. I had been thinking that a tiny ray of sanity had started to peek through the lunacy, but he's reverted to form. The only reason Abbott has an "R" by his name is because he knows he couldn't get elected as a democrat.
