MAGAt's can cry me a river! Their Commander in Thief has the most offensive nicknames and a Wikipedia dedicated to his slurs! 🤬

asshole doesnt stand for the anthem either

jstrw.bsky.social•24 days ago

She shouldn't have said it. People may not know, though, that she didn't make up the term; a lot of people in Texas call Abbott that. And she was making fun of the "hot" part of this common nickname, not the wheels part. But, again, she shouldn't have said it.

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

like, he's the fucking guy making a big deal about it!

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

he human trafficked thousands of migrants to blue states and pardoned a murderer because his victim was a liberal he is truly next tier scum of the earth

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

like actually though! https://bsky.app/profile/azery.bsky.social/post/3lla4zfywrc2n

Greg Abbott order the erection of barbed-wire barriers in the Rio Grande that led to several drownings and nearly caused a nullification crisis for his right to drown women and children

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

it would be really bad politics for Crockett to apologize though, ugly as it might be

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

that was the sense I was getting but thanks for verifying https://bsky.app/profile/honorabledoofus.bsky.social/post/3lla5botw722d

‘Can’t you take a joke?’ Should be the response.

oh she's having fun

justanotherdummy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Cool. What kind of language does this open up the possibility to use against non-white, non-male, etc Republicans?

myrrlyn.net•24 days ago

none.

hartsigns.bsky.social•24 days ago

I approve this ✌️

kimbellsmowgli.bsky.social•24 days ago

More for him. He is evil.

natbat71.bsky.social•23 days ago

Shame we can't do a poll of wheelchair users to see what their consensus is,

Because they're the ones that matter in the equation,

I think it's funny as fuck, because Abbott is a disgraceful excuse for a human being,

And two wheelchair users I just read in the comments said it's fine by them.

yeknomgod.bsky.social•24 days ago

What good is moral high ground when you can own the opposition with a dank meme instead?

carlwilhoyte.bsky.social•24 days ago

People do realize that Greg Abbott is a trash person *outside* of the fact he uses a wheelchair, right?

To me, all this does is say to other people with disabilities is that they're potentially not our allies. Real shitty look.

shadowjaq.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’ll sleep at night calling the fucker every insult in the book.

honorabledoofus.bsky.social•24 days ago

I won’t defend the hot wheels comments, as they are ableist. I will say that here in Texas even the most sincere PC progressives will insult Abbott’s disability at this point. It’s pretty par for the course to call him hot wheels or joke that he lost a fight to a tree. It’s at that point now.

hartsigns.bsky.social•24 days ago

I will.

chkenginelight.bsky.social•24 days ago

I call him Roller Nazi

corick.bsky.social•24 days ago

He can fucking walk
No Walter
He’s a fucking goldbricker
Walter no
Dumps his ass out the wheelchair

patriciakreger.bsky.social•11 days ago

When I read what Abbott did, a long time ago, it solidified my opinion of him. ‘Millions for me, but NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE’ doesn’t sound very Christian to me. But what do I know?

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•24 days ago

Nope. These people call us every name in the book and laugh about it. Can’t have it both ways.

collie.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m totally fine with calling republicans any name in the book because they call us pedophile communists

mellowcanuck.bsky.social•24 days ago

As a wheelchair user, I would flip Abbot's chair on purpose. And roll over his neck.

proptermalone.bsky.social•24 days ago

a problem with people coarsening the discourse is that then the discourse is coarsened

ericblyler.bsky.social•24 days ago

I don’t like it, but I’m very clear on how we got here. Republicans like to use this argument to say Dem hubris and lies are how we got Trump, but I’m also clear why their argument is absolute garbage. I can hold these two things in my head at once because I’m not a knuckle-dragging MAGA apologist.

ericblyler.bsky.social•24 days ago

Also, of course he coarsened the discourse on a golf course but at least it wasn’t a disc golf course!

anthonybecker.bsky.social•24 days ago

Coarse times I think

far-far-away.bsky.social•22 days ago

In an era when Trump and his stooges are sending out press releases saying Biden and Dems a stupid and morons and incompetent, I have no patience for Republicans (or anyone else) taking to the fainting couch

mattpb.bsky.social•24 days ago

I am in a wheelchair.

I am going to give you a nice, laminated card; it is your official pass to make fun of him.

merovingians.bsky.social•24 days ago

aw thanks

mattpb.bsky.social•24 days ago

Just give me your mailing address so I can send it. Also, your SSI number and banking information

j/k

hartsigns.bsky.social•24 days ago

👋 same!

whoopsexcuseme.bsky.social•24 days ago

Also, there has never in the history of social media been an Ableism Discourse in good faith and it certainly won't start now about Abbott.

shayhoffman.bsky.social•24 days ago

Lot of women dying because of him too.

perfectbleu.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’ll show respect for abbot when he stands for the national anthem

alpha-aurora.bsky.social•23 days ago

I know where I stand, I stand w Jasmine

bobbakh.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’m team tree

justanotherdummy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Doesn't matter. Dems have enough useable ammunition with these traitors that ableist, misogynistic, whatever the type, cracks against them are unnecessary.

I'm not responsible for Abbot's garbage decisions or hypocrisy, but I am responsible for how I discuss, and refer to Abbott.

pymundgenealogy.com•24 days ago

Might make a tiny bit of difference: I've seen Texan mutuals claim it's a long-time nickname of his, even by friendly sources

josephcw.bsky.social•24 days ago

I think any insults are excusable when directed at the fucking devil

azery.bsky.social•24 days ago

Against anyone else and I think outrage would be more justified but this guy is the disabled persons equivalent of an Uncle Tom

yallstopyelling.bsky.social•23 days ago

Just extraordinary hypocrisy

hartsigns.bsky.social•24 days ago

I don't mind lol

raspberry7.bsky.social•23 days ago

Disabled people can be horrible. Just other people. It’s not a good reason to use language that reinforces negative stereotypes. Just like most of us hopefully wouldn’t think it’s ok to use a racist term as an insult even if talking about a horrible person.

raspberry7.bsky.social•23 days ago

“That fucking asshole has paraplegia and claims to be Christian but he doesn’t want his constituents to have access to health care” is how I prefer to refer to him

too-blue4u.bsky.social•24 days ago

He also directly financial supports a group home known for trafficking children.

too-blue4u.bsky.social•24 days ago

Financially

icecreammonger.bsky.social•24 days ago

Just laugh at the insult and move on. It was directd specifically at him. They call people on the left worse so I'm glad to see some Dems hit them back and better with the insults.
