    Nope, I said that was also wrong.
    Yes, I should have said it CONTINUES a terrible precedent. No one in their right mind can think it is good to have a Governer radically change the meaning of legislation by striking out certain letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation.

    It wasn't wrong enough to criticize until it was needed to criticize the Democrat.

    What Greg Abbott's Terrible Leadership Led To

    TX is the 8th worst state for healthcare & has the largest % of uninsured children & adults in the country. We rank last in mental healthcare, 1st in mass shootings, 3rd in drunk driving, and 1st in drunk drivers under age 21 involved in fatal crashes.

    Our high poverty rate, nation-leading percentage of people without health insurance and inadequate funding for natural disaster relief make us the 4th most dangerous state to live in.

    Bigger and Brighter my ass.

    $33,000 poorer? What a blatant lie, but Republicans could care less about the ave American.





    FACT
    ExxonMobil made a profit of $11.4 billion in the first three months of 2023, double the $5.5 billion in the first quarter of 2022. Shell and Chevron saw their profits rise about 5% year-on-year to $9.6 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively.

    Wait, didn't the Trump coup and GOP lash out against whistleblowers after Jan 6th. Didn't they threaten people who spoke the truth? Didn't they turn against their own party members for speaking the truth? Haven't subtle and not so subtle threats been made against anyone holding Trump accountable for his numerous criminal acts? Don't you guys slander anyone who brings up facts and truth about Trump and the attempted coup?

    You guys slander everyone, without facts, and without proof. Have you any idea how stupid you sound?

    I had never read about it or heard it mentioned. As brilliant as I am, I am not omniscient. I cannot criticize things of which I am not aware.
    Not at all. Many cases continue precedents. That is the very basis of stare decisis.

    Those 20% were already going to 100% vote for him regardless

    It's gotten to the point that I don't believe a dam thing any of them say.............they should have to have a fact checker sit with them during an interview and correct them each time they lie

    @Salvy it's just funny how utterly corrupt the MAGA folks truly are. Then @Os Trigonum will post some OPed about hunter biden. @StupidMoniker you folks accuse the Ukrainians paying off hunter to try to influence VP biden when the saudis are literally paying off trump directly

    I'm sure Joe rogan is sure going talk about it instead of spinning hunter biden low iq conspiracies. @AroundTheWorld will be posting the rogan video any minute now.
