I'm really hoping Beto can whoop his ass in November. He may just have a shot, especially if Abbott keeps giving him ammunition like this.

I wonder if Beto is starting to make him nervous. That could help explain why he keeps pulling one crazy stunt after another, each one crazier and more over the top than the last one!

Abbott doesn't have a Disney so the border will have to suffice as a prop in the contest to see who can hump Trump the hardest

In my lifelong study of wingnuts, the big takeaway is that they don’t care about rule for the public good, don’t care about a healthy economy, care only about POWER and retribution. So ABBUTT’s big stunt of shutting down the ports of trade entry already resulted in billions down the toilet and will now cost the denizens of Texas BILLIONS more. But the wingnut perpetrators and their flying monkey voters don’t care.

Mexico says they can’t be hostage to “someone who wants to use trade as a political tool.” --- Things that make you go “HMmmm,” I wonder WHO they’re referring to?!1

As for PUTEEN passing power for 2-3 days to the worse version of himself, pictured. Gosh, these Russians look like parody villains, same as when the first picture appeared of Drumpf’s MANAFORT. So if ABBUTT were to pass power, who to – Dan PATRICK or Ken PAXTON, yeah-yeah I know which one is LT Guv, but same crap either one.

Mexico Shifts Trade Railway from Texas to New Mexico over Abbott’s Enhanced Border Checks

Mexican officials said they will move plans for a cross-border trade railway worth billions of dollars from Texas to New Mexico after Texas Governor Greg Abbott began enforcing “enhanced” safety inspections of commercial trucks crossing the border last month. ….

In response, Mexican Economy Minister Tatiana Clouthier said the T-MEC Corridor, which will connect the port of Mazatlán to the Canadian city of Winnipeg, will run along the far edge of West Texas up through Santa Teresa, N.M. rather than through Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News.

“We’re now not going to use Texas,” Clouthier said at a conference last week in Mexico City, according to the report. “We can’t leave all the eggs in one basket and be hostages to someone who wants to use trade as a political tool.”

Mexico is Texas’s number one trading partner: $39.5 billion in goods were trucked across the Texas-Mexico border in February in both directions, the Dallas Morning News reported. ....

Russian strongman to undergo cancer surgery, transfer power to ex-police chief: report

…. Putin will transfer control of Russia’s government to Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Russian federal police’s Security Council, while he is incapacitated during and after the procedure, according to a video from the mysterious Telegram channel “General SVR” on Saturday.

The channel — which is purportedly run by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service lieutenant general known by the pseudonym “Viktor Mikhailovich” — reported that Putin has been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation. ....

“I will say that this is the worst option,” the narrator adds. “Patrushev is an outright villain. He is no better than Vladimir Putin. Moreover, he is a more cunning, and I would say, more insidious person than Vladimir Putin. If he comes to power, Russians’ problems will only multiply.”

“Viktor Mikhailovich” ominously hinted that he and his allies “will make certain efforts so this does not happen, and I hope we will succeed.” ….
