1. Abbott is truly the south end

Of a north bound horse.

2. He didn't tell Texans to do it he told corporations to do it

6. Oh, Underpants, how can you ever forget?

Millions of "good ol' boys and gals" will never forget nor forgive how OSHA took Atlanta, leaving a trail of orange barrels and yellow "work area" tape all the way to Savanna. The chickens won't lay nor the cows make milk in Vidalia even to this day. That's why they worship onions and the tracks are still "tore up".

3. Dear lost irony, where art thou?

"....Texans' right to choose..."


Do these menz ever hear themselves?

4. I know, it is mind blowing. Now Texans have a right to choose.

Damn hypocrites.

5. I thought he is busy eliminating rape.

I hope we are beginning to see the end of this banana republican.

7. The owner of my son-in-law's business is a BIG Trumper and he will be thrilled with this

decision.

He wants his employees to be vaccinated because the paid time off and costs to their self-funded health plan for Covid infections is KILLING him financially.

This way, he can shrug and say, "I have to do it - that guy Biden says so" and act like he hates it, but be silently thrilled.

8. I think it's time to kick some Texas ass.

They're acting like Texas is another country. They'll just make up the laws as they go along. Let's remind them that they're still part of the union.

9. Ahhh... if only... (n/t)

[Scrivener7]

13. Or just stop that Federal aid. Give them back only what they put in, dollar for dollar.

They are a taker state. Let them survive on their own funding.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Texas is attempting to overthrow the US Constitution?

Give me our freedom and the right to die from COVID because the federal government wants to vaccinate us and save us?

This is a POPULAR idea in Texas?

Really??

17. I recall from my years in the Lone Star state that the issue of secession was often on the ballot.

I asked about such an outrageous thing and was told by the natives it was business as usual. At that time(late seventies)it was dismissed as just another fools errand by the crazies. They couldn't imagine how such a rag-tag bunch of kooks would ever wield real power.

Fast forward to Abbot sans his Costello.

12. Somebody seriously misread this post and needs to rethink it.

You know who you are.

[left-of-center2012]

16. I know exactly what you mean

14. What many are calling a "rights"

Are merely "priviledges" they assume without the burden of responsibilities they carry.

[gab13by13]

15. It's also time to bring OSHA back

by funding and staffing it again. I was hoping that would also be the president's plan. OSHA has been gutted for a long time.
