Republican Governor Greg Abbott, just one week before the gubernatorial primary, is facing massive nationwide outrage and condemnation after ordering this week the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to investigate for "child abuse" anyone aware of certain medical treatments for transgender youth, in yet another example of Lone Star State vigilantism.

Parents, medical professionals, teachers, even neighbors could all face "criminal penalties" – not just for allowing or participating in medical care for trans youth, but for not reporting to state authorities any knowledge of medical care, Abbott warned, as NBC News reports.

On Monday Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared he has interpreted Texas law to deem nationally-recognized medical care for transgender youth "child abuse."

These two just have a fetish to put themselves into a person / family private life...and what is remarkable is that one has been charged with crime for over 6 years and has abused the law and he's walking around abusing everyone else when it comes to privacy....

6. "massive outrage and condemnation" - *FINALLY* something got him that!

After all the years of wingnut policies, things like:

* Refusing federal funds for the most needy (Medicaid for children)
* boondoggles (the Wall, deploying law enforcement & nat'l guard to the border)
* opposing Sanctuary
* anti-CHOICE
* gaining from fatcat donors
* negligence in the Grid, refusing to link to the national
* spreading guns
* much more...

********So finally SOMETHING gets him massive outrage and condemnation!

7. It's long overdue...

He and his QOP Nazi ilk have gotten away with hatred, bigotry and human rights violations for too damned long. It's about time someone speaks up. It's about time this four-wheeled thug gets condemned. He absolutely deserves it. The only problems are.... it should've happened years ago. And who or what does something to get Texbekistan and Florarabia under control?!
