Greg Abbott is a Failed Governor - and it's being noticed

Across our state and country, Greg Abbott is being exposed and called out more harshly than any Texas Governor in modern history. Abbott is seen as far worse than an embarrassment — he is a danger.

He's a fucking murderer who should be tried for crimes against humanity. 57,000 people? That's what third-world rulers get crucified for in the media.

But not here. Oh, no. Not with our media.

Fucking greedy assholes.

his "52%" disapproval leaves one wondering: "WTF" are those "48%" thinking?!?!?!
