"SNIP......

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) suggested on Sunday that H.R. 1, the sweeping election-reform bill recently passed by the House of Representatives, could eventually result in Democrats “using cocaine to buy votes,” the Daily Beast reports.

Said Abbott: “It is a way to commit voter fraud and it cannot be allowed.”

Maybe a large box of Godiva's every month to the end of my life.

I'm 72, and even if I make it to my 97th birthday (I have plans for that month) it's still not that expensive.

Besides, once I get in the voting booth . . . .

Just saying.

Abbott’s month from hell: Power outages, COVID and Republican discontent

.... Abbott .. was quick to find subjects for his blame: Wind power and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. The first was quickly debunked. But his finger pointing at ERCOT stuck, as some questioned why he wasn’t also scrutinizing the Public Utilities Commission, whose commissioners Abbott selected.

Abbott himself may have been warned of potential blackouts. An executive for a top power generation company testified to lawmakers he’d expressed concerns to the governor’s office on Feb. 12 ...

“(Abbott) seemed more focused on inoculating himself against a challenge in the Republican primary than worried about inoculating the public against the coronavirus, and that’s just a bad look,” said Cal Jillson, a SMU political science professor ...

Lifting the mask mandate was a way to shift the conversation ...

... in Orlando ... a straw poll was taken to see who’s favored for president in 2024. Abbott, long one of the most popular governors in the country, got zero percent of the votes ...

is that voting to defeat republicans is better than coke. coke is only good for a couple hours, defeating republicans can make you feel better for up to 4 years...

Abbott is an idiot.

The bill would protect access to voting by People of Color, Abbott seed a chance to buy votes by handing out cocaine, what a worthless asshole.
