Goes to show you can be a heartless differently-abled asshole. It’s all about individualistic needs. Who gives a shit about anyone else, if I get what I want. That’s the Republican mentality.
It's easy for him. He got lucky when he sued for million$ after a tree fell on him. He can take care of himself, and he expects every other disabled person to take care of themselves. just go hire a $1000/hr lawyer and sue God!
His attorney general is leading the charge and is asking the 5th circuit to rule that section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is unconstitutional. This is a direct assault on disability rights. Section 504 is a foundational law that underpins the ADA. https://dredf.org/protect-504/
Eliminate all wheelchair ramps and elevators in every state building in Texas and see how fast that changes his mind. Oh wait, he'll just have one of his security detail carry him.
Not really. Closeted gays were first in line against gay rights. It’s usually those who are scared the most of being “found out” being the loudest. Rich sociopathic guy with a disability probably hates other people with disabilities as a reminder. He never had to fight for resources to stay alive.
He is indeed. So are that crook Paxton, Dan Patrick, Cornyn & that fucking fucker Cruz. I'd also include all Rs in the lege + that asshole Kasmaryk in Amarillo who thinks he is supremely qualified to decide what meds women are allowed to take. They can all take a flying leap into Lady Bird Lake.
@governorabbott.bsky.social got everything he could for his legs (his disability? he is an absolute cunt) then went after the system that helped him, to take it away from you. DEI was good for him, not for you. May he find a hill and a large cliff soon! Small, hateful little excuse for a man
Abbott is an ignorant, grifting, narcissistic asswipe! We keep trying to get rid of him, but voter suppression, gerrymandering and throwing millions of democratic votes out is how he stays in. 😩
TX Gov. Greg Abbott is a lying psychopathic POS like trump & musk. That tree limb that fell & put him in a wheelchair should’ve finished him off. Yes, I said it.
My 3 daughters have no insurance in Texas, as well. One of them is a family of four with no insurance. It's not the way we raised our family. It's sad to me that they don't have any insurance.
Luckily my son has insurance through his dad, my ex. I work for a nonprofit as a 1099 and don’t get benefits. I can’t afford a deductible even if I could afford the monthly payments. Abbott refused to expand Medicaid, so there you have it.
Not to mention, it’s all being announced by a White House press secretary, who is a woman and doesn’t believe in supporting equal rights for women, which is the very reason she can have the job she has.
Jesus. They’re like cockroaches in an apocalypse. .. ahhh. I hear you. Perhaps one of his little soothers that puts up with his stink ‘cause somehow she thinks it will help her “get places”.. 🤮
He certainly is he insists his State is a sovereign. Therefore the Constitution doesn't apply to them. Seems like they joined the US somewhere back in the 1840s. I guess he must have received his Wound back in the civil war. He's so demented he believes he's the lone star.
Pretty wild Gov Abbott sued for millions for his personal injury, then made it so nobody else in TX could.
Now people seriously injured & paralyzed through someone else's negligence have no help dealing with the astronomical health costs of their injuries.
Cruelty is the point.
Or Musk take away tools for kids like him with Autism.
Tech savvy is Musk but the 53-yr-old who can't hold still is a definite danger to the United States. He has no impulse control.
I 100% agree. A strong characteristic of people on the spectrum are altruistic. He does not display any of that. He is a Manipulative liar who exploits.
Speaking as the stepparent and grandfather of autistics and special education educator I, sadly, have to disagree. People on the spectrum can demonstrate self absorbed and selfish behaviors as well as have superiority complexes. That said, they are rarely evil for the sake of being evil like Musk.
Self-centeredness comes easier to autistic people due to their problems with forming social bonds; withdrawing into a world centered around themselves is easier than struggling to understand and be understood by others. That said, most autistic people i know do their best to be altruistic [1/]
[2/] because they're aware that if they don't pay attention to their acts and words, the could negatively affect those around them *and* themselves. As a result, they're usually overly careful in their interactions with others util they've managed to establish clear boundaries with the other party.
I’ll buy he’s on the spectrum and I’m not quibbling w/someone over their diagnosis &how they got it. However, being autistic doesn’t preclude being a dick. You can be both. None of what he is doing to destroy our country for his own greed is bc of autism. It’s bc he’s a greedy pos.
idk how to tell you that autistic people are every bit as capable as being liars and abusers as allistic people. Sweeping generalizations such as us all being altruistic is dehumanizing. We tend to have a strong sense of justice, but that does not mean we believe in the same "good" justice.
I have no way of knowing that for sure so I don't know if I can agree. I don't know how much it really matters at this point, it's just one more shitty thing on top of the mountain of shitty things he done.
Okay, I see how my wording came off as overgeneralizing—that wasn’t my intent. I know autistic people, like anyone, can lie or scheme. My point was about Musk specifically and how his behavior stood out to me. Let’s not make this bigger than it is.
I'm not making it anything. I just assumed that if you cared about autistic people, you wouldn't mind if one, such as myself, found something wrong with your line of thought and wanted to educate you.
I was replying to the person below you on this thread, actually. idk why it showed up that I was replying to you but regardless I think you need to calm down lol
I told my sister the same thing. She was like, "something is off with Elmo, isn't he on the spectrum"? I told her "nah he's a liar. Most of those on the spectrum are usually pretty selfless. " He's the devil incarnate.🤷🏾♀️
He's not even tech savvy lol, he's just an investor larping as an inventor. He did a good job tricking a LOT of people into making himself look like Tony Stark, but he's actually a dumbass
Well, someone just needs to tell him to walk it off. He can make a run for office again, but I dunno if he'll be able to stand up against angry disabled people. He'll need special security to give him a leg up on the threats. He can't just take this laying down, right? Gotta be 1 step ahead of ppl.
“My take: An ungrateful, self inflicted, disability! Not the kind that is visible to the naked eye, but the kind, that has become his innermost, soulmate! An unrelenting, disability of the heart! That about sums up his legacy!” @democrats.org @maddow.msnbc.com @houstonchronicle.com @dallasnews.com
Abbott learned nothing from his personal tragic accident.
While jogging as a Vanderbilt student, a tree fell, hit him causing him to be confined to a wheelchair.
Instead of developing empathy, he freakishly became hard-hearted & mean-spirited towards his constituents w/similar challenges.
Just like he did after his accident, when he put in place legislature so big insurance didn't have to pay accident victims (he got million$$ btw) more than $250k!
Immigrants sometimes have just as many assholes among them as the rest of us do. They enjoy taking away the ladder they used to get where they are. It’s disgusting. Priti Patel in the UK is a great example of this and she was their Home Sec. It’s being that tiny bit higher than the lowest minority.
I know a few immigrants, they usually are pretty selfish once they get their citizenship. Their attitude is usually, mine was hard to get so theirs should be too. They will never say that but it's implied.
This kind of thinking will never help progress society. Just because something was hard for you does, not mean you should make it hard for everyone, that's selfish and vindictive.
After his accident, lame Abbott sued and made millions. Then he made sure that other people with debilitating accidents couldn’t do the same.
He’s scum, lame scum.
No, he will never stand again 🤭

He may want to rethink this one just a little bit while the whole do onto others thing this could be interesting 😂😂😂
Currency has the value a society gives it. This is mine until further notice. I’ve mailed a few RTS for my bills. I got a new rocks mail out the other day to send to some people in the mail. I always enjoyed getting mail. I hope they like the message they are getting from me. I found their address.
I think, technically, it was Jimi Heselden, the guy who bought the company from the guy who invented the Segway, who drove the device off a cliff. Still, at least semi-apocryphal.
Gerrymandering and voter suppression is out of control in Texas. During the pandemic, I personally ordered mail in ballots the first day you could do that and we received them after the election post marked the day they were to be post marked for return in order to be counted for the 2020 election.
Ken Paxton is as dirty as the day is long and has admitted to blocking mail in ballot applications. Every single R the state house in Austin is a cowardly criminal. The state has turned to sht. 🤬
Also the amount of apathy in Texas. I moved long ago, but I remember a great number of people who just didn't engage at all, ever. Like politics wasn't for them. And a lot were conservative just cuz they were supposed to be, not because they were paying attention to what was actually happening.
None of GQP are. It’s a rouse to get Evangelical followers. Evangelical pastors don’t even follow Christ teachings. Gateway my old church prime example
Your mistake is placing him in the category of the average American child, teen, adult , senior and mentally impaired. The difference is he may be in a wheelchair but he has the money to hire a one on one, a personal nurse and a live in housemaid, WE DON'T
I honestly don't think they know any of the protections equal employment actually provides
The propaganda campaign focused on DEI being unfair to Caucasians.
Not knowing at all it was meant to prevent any discrimination
I agree Sue, begs the question, how can so many people (MAGAts) be so abundantly ignorant and misguided to allow themselves to be manipulated to such a poor standard of living. How is this normal? I seriously don’t understand their ignorance!
All they've been hearing is DEI, CRT. Race, diversity, all bad stuff. They heard it so often including propaganda that it was discriminating against whites (men), consistently, for years. Pair that with them damn illegals coming in?
Gens x,y, z know nothing about the EEOC.
Oh very true, you’re clearly referring to right wing extremism media and of course Fox News. What doesn’t get talked about much is how much influence right wing radio has in rural areas with farmers and religious types. They’ve been conditioned to believe Trump is the savior to fix it all.
I posted a news story about Trump giving a pardon to former Democrat Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted on several federal charges of corruption and fraud. Surprisingly, I've not had any comments full of excuses and butwhataboutisms from Trump's uneducated base.
I keep hoping if I get to the root of their anger I can make them understand they are supporting a group that does not have their best interests at heart.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

There must be something really big in it for Abbott, perhaps immortality.
When you can con someone into shooting them selves in the foot, it’s cultish!!
It is, indeed... but then, Gov. Greg is nothing if not impressive. I guess he's confident that he'll always have 'people' to pick that chair up and help in get on up there. 😂
I live in Texas and have been seeing this since that jackass became governor. You have no idea. I’ve never met anybody who was disabled, but hates other disabled people.
I remember during the pandemic he ordered all restaurants and bars to open to the public, removed the mask mandate and put the lives of service industry workers at risk. Meanwhile his governor’s mansion closed to the public for tours during the pandemic and did not reopen until 2022.
As a Texan, his behavior is nothing new. After he cashed in from the lawsuit he filed in 1984 after a tree crushed his spine, he has spent his time in public office tightening tort law in favor of defendants and placing caps on award amounts for pain and suffering losses. He’s genuinely hated.
Paxton is suing four public school districts in Texas that explained to parents and citizens the impact Abbott’s school voucher initiative would have on public schools. My son’s school district is one of them. 91% of people in our district oppose the vouchers now that they understand the impact.
I guess if something horrible happens to you there are two paths to take. The first is to be compassionate and relate to other's suffering. The second is to become so bitter and angry that you WANT others to suffer.
Why do these creeps keep winning in Texas? Visiting Houston to see our son. It is a beautiful vibrant city but couldn’t wait to get out of Texas and back to NY
A relative was 💀 by a tree but since they were but a laborer and not a millionaire, it's just another day. Tree didn't sleep on my fam, but one definitely messed with Texas. Sadly.
Gerrymandering and voter suppression. He and Paxton went so far as to remove ballot drop off boxes during the election with Beto, not sending out mail in ballots until past the date they were due back to be counted, and even removed drive thru ballot drop offs.
I’ll never forget watching Beto at one of those town halls making an impassioned argument against gun madness. Some in the audience laughed at him as he paused to continue and he just yells “you may find it funny motherfucker but I don’t.
The place erupted in applause and cheers
honestly if I was in the same room listening to him spew his bullshit, I would just shrug, go "Ok" and then dump him out of it down a flight of stairs.

He's a spoiled, rich idiot who paid everyone to do everything for him.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t know wrong from right. He clearly does. And he’s getting off on how far he can go.

He doing autismface to play super nerd.
I'm calling HIM a liar.
You're reading way more into my post than I wrote. I'm not dehumanizing or generalizing anything.
Autism is a rainbow just as gender identity and sexuality is.
I don't believe him because he chooses to use it as well as his kid as a shield.
You are a so right about musk!
I won't believe a single thing that man or his family has fed anyone.
He lies. They lie. And they like to pay for "proof" for his lies.
Like using his baby mamas to say, "Yes, he is good at video games, I totally saw."
Just watch him get alienated. Investors aren’t going to stick with him. Stockholders will start bailing. Just my opinion.
So... he was always going to lose at life.
Here's my differential diagnosis: he's an asshole, no additional comorbidities required.
Or, if we want to get fancy, check out Cluster B in the DSM. That fits him far better than ASD.

It’s all so fucking stupid.

Shouldn't take to long for him to realize... oops Karma really is a bitch
If not him, who is?
💙
Gosh, if only there was some indication of his hypocrisy...
He just doesn’t give a fuck about anyone who isn’t rich. Like all Republicans.
He then worked to deny others enormous compensations like he received.
He’s a greedy, heartless bastard. 🤬
they listen to someone else interpret the Bible for them
the people who lead the congregations/parishes may want more money and power
many people have been manipulated and betrayed

It's a Republican thing. If it's not about them or for them they couldn't care less.
Why should he care?

They've bought up small market media all over the south, Midwest.
They're MAGA.
I'm referring to the MAGAts. America's ignorant electorate who were convinced immigrants are evil
I don’t know if there is another governor in a wheelchair so I assume you are talking about dumbass Abbott
Because God forbid anyone else get helped!! Kick that ladder over!
Irreparably. Fatally. Damaged.

Caitlyn's rich enough for her own bathroom and leadership doesn't send their kids to public schools; a governor in a wheelchair is fine
The is no level of cruelty he won't do.
Running fast out of superlatives to describe it all
And Ken Paxton, holy shit. Is there a more openly corrupt state than TX
Le mot juste
