And what does TX have to show for it? Broken infrastructure, failing schools and an ever widening gap between rich and poor.

Money trumps integrity.
The party of family values and pro-life, just not your family or your life.

Abbott & the Texas GOP can’t even get potable water and electricity to some of the ‘colonias’ in dinky-town Texas. [TX Monthly] Abbott/ corrupt cronies only reward their donors, the fossil fuels dinosaur a-holes, and ignore the water crises all over leaky Texas w/our ancient plumbing infrastructure.

And they just essentially defunded public education by 1 billion dollars, which is paid for by....property taxes. This state is a grift and the leadership in Austin is the foundation for how to be MAGA corrupt with a monopoly on power that alludes should be voters who are barely making ends meet.

Abbott’s border performance art won’t pay for itself.

Wouldn’t it be great if all politicians would make public their daily medications like their tax returns? Abbott has to be on some heavyweight mood altering pharmaceuticals. All paraplegics are.

It would explain how he’s so easily manipulated by big business and fails to get promises done.

That’s just as easily explained by being a member of the GOP.

So, Wheel Chair Willy and his sidekick, Gov Jr lap-dog Dan Patrick, are doing what all good Goober GOPers do. Spend like drunks, f**k up revenue income - promise tax relief - gin up word salad bullshit along the way, and create a YUGE MAGA style mess. BTW: TX power grid? Still f**d up.

Abbot and the GOP are greed-addled criminals who have no human and planet-centered priorities or ethics. Fuck ‘em all.

Texas is broken since Governor Anne's term was up.

The stench of fake Christians is too great for any normal person to bear!

27 years in complete control and Republicans headed by Abbott still blame local governments run by democrats. W.E.A.K.

White male Republicans have been in charge of Texas for a long time by purging voters. Everything is under their corrupt management and yet they are somehow victims who never reach their campaign promises. Quiet an acknowledgment! The bar is so low for Texas GOP.
