Thanks to Trump and the no mask no social distancing, no lockdown stance he and his party took up, along with no National Stance to stop the spread of Covid, you all have blood on your hands. The US has lost 25% of the total deaths in the world, but only has 4% of the world's population. Your Covid response was a failure in all sense of the word. You don't care!
That aged well Dan. You ignore reality. Money and power drives you. Lives don't matter. By the way, since May 21st The US is averaging 2.5 more deaths per day and your state of Texas is averaging over 8 times as many deaths per day. May 21st / Jan 15th (7 day ave of Covid deaths) Texas 36 / 301 US 1,324 / 3,384 Since May 21st the US has quadrupled in deaths, but your state of Texas upped the ante with over 19 times as many deaths. You and your GOP "open er up" fools have blood on your hands. May 21st / Jan 15th (Total Covid deaths) Texas 1,666 / 32,292 US 98,965 / 401,856
Just another GOP idiot. Numbers don't lie. But, it was never really about doing more to save lives was it?
You let it get so bad here by letting the spread get this bad and doing so little. Oh, but you made sure you got your vaccine first.
Reading through the NYT article on the US response to COVID-19 the past year is really depressing. It’s not just the failure of national leadership but the states too and how trying to control a disease became a culture war issue. This pandemic struck at the worst time for this country. When anti intellectual attitudes where high, political divide was already high, and worst of all a President who frequently lied to the country and governed by chaos.
They need to give a shot to everyone. Even a single dose will work 50-80% of the time. Less people that have it the less it can spread. Trying to target specific people is not working.
Or the best of times. When the wound was exposed before it was allowed to fester and kill the patient
What a jerk. It's guys like Paxton and Cruz who are licking Trump's boots even now that he's gone and quick to criticize Biden and Democrats. If they had half the maturity and care for Americans that Biden does then they would have all done the right thing months ago to set an example, set mandates, and masked up themselves instead of coddling to Trump and joining the anti-mask no lockdown stance. Texas wouldn't have over 26,000 new Covid cases today and 440 more dead. All that bootlicking and no pardon for Ken.
I can't find another thread for this, so here it is (not COVID related): Keep a watch out for other Dan Patrick shenanigans, after this bullsh!t https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/13/texas-senate-republicans/ The Texas Senate on Wednesday approved a fundamental alteration of its rules, ending the minority party’s ability to block legislation it unanimously opposes in the Republican-controlled upper chamber. In a 18-13 vote, lawmakers voted to lower the threshold of support that legislation needs to make it onto the Senate floor. In past sessions, the Senate required a three-fifths supermajority, or 19 votes, to bring legislation to the floor. But after the defeat of Sen. Pete Flores, R-Pleasanton, reduced the number of Republicans from 19 to 18, lawmakers lowered the threshold to 18 members — a move Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had been pushing for. Patrick moved it from 20 to 19 a few years ago after the GOP lost a Senate seat, btw.
Yep! The sad part is that not a single one of those no mask stance Trump loyalists ever tried to do the right thing in protecting Texans, and stopping the spread. Now we have 1 out of every 62 Covid-19 deaths in the world in Texas. That's terrible, considering there are 7.8 billion people in the world. Do they care? I wouldn't know, because they never mention Covid. They are too consumed with doing all they can to keep their power and defend a party of traitors, liars, gerrymanderers, white power racists, and Covid spreading morons.
1,200 more Texans died these past 3 days of Covid. Thanks to you, Abbott, Paxton, Crenshaw, Cruz, Trump and all the no mask let it spread, weed the old, Grandma can die power mongers. My 83 year old mother can't even get her first vaccine. There is no reason you or any other GOP politician should get shots before anyone. There is also no reason for any state politician or representative to get vaccinated first if they are under 75.
Paint the picture how you want Greg Abbott but in the past 24 hours 1 in 8 Americans who died of Covid lived in Texas. My 83 year old mother still hasn't been able to get her first vaccine. Over 29 million Texans and less than 3 million vaccines given. Texas is a mess and it's because of guys like you, your Trump loving GOP, the no mask Trump sheep, and the bar hopping partying no mask fools who never gave a damn about Covid. Weed the herd, and let Grandma Die. Over 39,000 Texans dead on your watch! It never should have gotten this bad. June 5th our 3 day ave for Covid deaths was 34 a day. Do you know it's over 12 times worse now with 426 Texans dying every day? Do you care? It sure doesn't seem that way when you leave out that part in all your tweets.
WTH is wrong with Abbott? He's talking about lifting the mask order soon even though it will be July before most get vaccinated. In fact, over 300 Texans died in the past 24 hrs of Covid. That's almost 1 in 7 Americans. Only 30% of those over 65 have been vaccinated. Over 10% have been under the age of 40. Abbott doesn't care about saving lives. He got his shot.
I saw that headliner. Wow, Republicans are intentionally trying to kill more people. We don't have covid under control and we might not ever.
Yeah, it defies all logic. I don't know what his game is, but it's certainly not doing the smart thing, the right thing, or the responsible thing for Texans. These guys all need voted out. They really don't care.
This is Abbott's play to draw attention away from his disastrous response to the Arctic Blast that Texans are still struggling to recover from. Some of them never will because they are dead, thanks to Greg Abbott. So he comes out with this monstrous idea in an attempt to change the subject. The man is a sick, incompetent fool making a mockery of the Peter Principal.
If there was ever a time for tinfoil hat chemtrails or fluoridation of water this is it. Bring on Jade Helm.
