    Might as well group these guys in one thread. I'll start with Abbott. Voter fraud is obscure compared to all the murders around our state, but suppressing voters and making guns easier for criminals and crazies to get is your focus. You Texas Republicans all need voted out. The sooner the better!

    The South Padre border masklessspreadfest is what you should be worried about when it comes to Covid Greg. The migrants at your border aren't spreading it freely among Texas or carrying it back to other states around the country. You can't blame your stupid reckless policy on anyone but yourself if our cases start rising again. All we can hope for now is that Biden continues to get millions of shots out to us all.

    Look up at the pictures above Ken! The border Covid problem is your Maskless Texas spring breakers. Don't deflect this on immigrants. They didn't make Texas mask free. Texas Republicans did!

    Did Biden tout no masks, no social distancing, and injecting bleach? Even if Trump had not lied about Covid or gathered masses of mask free Covid spreaders at rallies for months, did he make it a peaceful transition?

    Who's lying Dan? You know Trump holds the record for that, right? You probably didn't notice what was going on because you were too busy trying to suppress the voters, gerrymander, spread lies about Stop the Steal, join the lawsuit train, make insider trades, and vote against impeaching the leader of a coup of Q crazies, white supremacists, and traitors. Some Patriot you are. Not!!! Quit kissing the ass of that sociopath who we voted out.

    Again this is all pure deflection. As other Rightwing sources have claimed that Biden's policies aren't different from Trump's.

    The border isn't open. The Biden Administration is turning people away except for unaccompanied minor and those are being held in custody. While that is a problem that needs to be addressed it's not the problem that Abbott, Paxton and others TX Republicans are claiming.

    It's obvious to me that they are deflecting from the terrible job that they have done on the deep freeze, the terrible job they have done on COVID-19, and from Paxton's legal troubles.

    Republicans just want people to believe Democrats want to seize every gun in America. That's simply not true. There does need to be a better way to ensure more guns don't get into the hands of mentally ill, criminals, felons, and kids.

    I'm trying to think of a prominent Texas Republican that is not a total national embarrassment, and I'm coming up empty.

    You have simply not waited long enough for Ted Cruz to make his move.

    The Morally bankrupt party who don't want you to see what a ****ED UP job they did with the energy grid and are trying to deflect to immigrants while thousands of kids are at super spreader events on the beach.

    It will be different this time?

    I like to think a stronger party would make the other stronger but it's a bona fide race to the bottom.

    We gerrymandered our way into the most laziest and apathetic form of government

    He said the rioters weren't Trump supporters, along with the guy who made the tweet. From the very beginning that's what Republicans like Paxton did, but we saw how that ended up. Trump supporters were in mass.

    Kay Bailey Hutchinson was ok compared to other Republicans. She voted the party line but she tended to work with other members of the Texas delegation (including Democrats) to pass priorities. She certainly was a hell of a lot better than Ted Cruz who doesn't really consider passing legislation as one of his duties as a Senator.
