[Hostage]

Explain. There are many waiting to hear about this.

[ConservativeMind]

No, he's trying to look like he's doing something after all the deaths and flooded homes from his hand-picked cronies through the stupid power crisis in February.

[Bulwyf]

As an infantry vet, I never even looked at that. Sometimes a funny comment is just meant to be funny. There’s always someone who will be offended.

I’m confident they weren’t trying to disrespect Jim or anyone else.

[ryderann]

There wasn’t anything offensive in that comment.

[LIConFem]

No work, no pay. Sounds reasonable to me.

[abbastanza]

Abbot is a good Governor. Our little weasel is Cornyn.

[Pajamajan]

Good.

[Ron H.]

Trying to regain conservatives he angered, like me.

Aka pissed me off royally when he caved like a wet tissue to the sky is falling crowd and shut our state down and destroying thousands of business's and livelihoods in the process last spring. He's still operating at a deficit with me for that cowardly costly stunt. Let's see if he draws a worthy primary opponent.

[wbarmy]

Wow, Just wow!!!

I am a 22 year retired veteran; 1 deployment to Iraq and 3 deployments to AFG.

I used to joke with my five children that the worst day of their lives would be if I lost my legs and had to get a wheelchair.

Cause I would be rolling and their toes would be in danger.

You really need to get a sense of humor because adults take everything in stride. I wasn’t going to let my fear or possible repercussions stop me from having a life.

[Ron H.]

He’s pretty inconsistent.

Yup!

[sauropod]

That’s the thing, Mr. Golden.

Abbott did what needed to be done.

[Ron H.]

.....He’s been governor since 2015. He’s had plenty of time to pass pro gun laws. ......

And the only reason he's doing it now is because his polling numbers took some big hits when he shut down the state and caused so much pain and suffering to his core constituency. If it weren't for that we wouldn't have these new gun reform laws now IMHO. He's just trying to pull his fat bacon azz out of the fire he landed in and salvage his next run.

[D Rider]

Are we really now that woke?

[Ron H.]

As an infantry vet, I never even looked at that. Sometimes a funny comment is just meant to be funny. There’s always someone who will be offended.

I’m confident they weren’t trying to disrespect Jim or anyone else.

I agree. As a 100% disabled combat veteran who has had to use a wheelchair off and on through my life since combat I wasn't the least bit offended. Cheers, and be happy! You can't please everyone all the time I've learned.

[PIF]

That’s the same tactic Dems used against Wisconsin Gov Walker and the Act 10 anti-teachers union bill. Didn’t work then and even backfired

[TangoLimaSierra]

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Or maybe because the 2022 election is only a year and a half away.

Ding, Ding, Ding.

Ringing the bell of correctness so hard it is making it sound like the slots on a casino floor.

[DoodleDawg]

...it’ll be added to a special legislative session later this year...

For which, if I'm reading this correctly, none of the legislators or their staff will be paid for.

[Rannug]

“Much ado about nothing”.

[DoodleDawg]

No, he's trying to look like he's doing something after all the deaths and flooded homes from his hand-picked cronies through the stupid power crisis in February.

Bingo.
