Greg Abbott Attacks Biden During Texas Synagogue Hostage Crisis

Greg is an asshole and an idiot




White House officials said about the situation in Texas, ”

The President has been briefed about the developing hostage situation in the Dallas area. He will continue to receive updates from his senior team as the situation develops. Senior members of the national security team are also in touch with federal law enforcement leadership.”

There is no good reason for Abbott to be tweeting lies about President Biden and the police while residents of his state are being held hostage. President Biden has been consistently supportive of the police.

It was classless of Abbott to launch such an attack at the moment when at least four families in Texas are wondering if they will ever see their loved ones alive again.

Greg Abbott has put the people of Texas last during his time as governor, but one would think that at least during a hostage crisis in his state, he would have something on his mind besides attacking Joe Biden with lies.

No need to be sorry. Even us furriers can see what
a total asswipe Abbot is. As far as that dickhead is
confined to a wheelie is concerned, I have no empathy
Governor Hot Wheels, gotta love it. Total scum.

(and deserved) payout for his grievous injuries, then worked to make sure that NO ONE ELSE in Texas could be fairly compensated for grievous injuries. He's a dick.

I kinda hate using such a fine upstanding word for a guy like that. Or snake either, because a lot of snakes are useful (not copperheads though, unless you want to kill and enemy). Slug kinda works, because they infest your garden are slimy and hard to get rid of. Or tick. Or the ovbious, cockroach, which serves NO useful purpose as far as I can see.

I once invented an insult for a guy I knew who had done something really monstrous (molested my friend's son) and used it on him in public: "I'd call you a perfect a**hole except for two things--nobody's perfect, and a**holes serve a useful function." The look on his face was priceless. That was a lot of years ago when I was a lot more publicly outspoken than I am now.

Seriously? This is definitely NOT the time to be injecting politics into a situation, and yet he does? FFS, that is low, and beyond shitty. Of course, given who he pals around with, I probably shouldn't be so surprised...

whether Abbott is bootlicking his base or just succumbing to an involuntary eruption of his inner asshole. The smart money is on both.

The man is straight up deeply mentally ill. This is the time for the following:

1) The Governor is monitoring the situation and is supporting our brave man and women of law enforcement
and is looking forward to a peaceful outcome.

2) The Governor has no comment at this time.

Christ that is such a stupid move on Abbott's part. He has just brought the POTUS into an extremely delicate
situation and given the hostage holder some leverage and publicity.

Real assholes serve a vital purpose. Abbott does not.

Abbott is a self-serving, heartless, opportunistic bullshit slinger. He serves no real purpose beyond furthering himself.
