Poor Judgment! Poor decision! Poor Texan!

When a falling tree broke Abbot's back it also paralyzed his heart. Can't think of any other explanation.

YAAAAAAAAAAY !

And the great supporters are the first to blame Covid deaths on Biden. Keep voting for ignorance but stop blaming others for your failures

Same guy that ignored recommendations to upgrade the power grid so we froze 2 wks ago. He's just trying to change the narrative since his election is coming up.

Unless he is trying to kill off would be voters, who might vote against him someday.

Can TX get any more stupid? Let’s just build a wall around them and request they secede....

Worse then deregulsting power

Boom next thing CNN and co. Will start keeping fake data about the state to scare people living there, no wonder they have removed the tele data since thier man take over the WH , I pity anyone that only watch CNN and make final conclusion because they control your mind

I WONDER IF ABBOTT IS LIABLE. ANY INTELLIGENCE ONCE ACQUIRED HAS JUST BEEN DISCARDED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF UNNECESSARY DEATH. CONGRATULATIONS TEXAS YOU JUST JOINED THE LOTTERY OF DEATH AND MISERY. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANTED ?

Smart man! Watch how everyones minds get blown in a month when they see the of cases and deaths drop and people realize the mask and social distance bs wasnt and isnt necessary. It was just a way to generate billions of free money.

It takes one capitalist to kill many ..

scamdemic

Noooooooo

What selfish ass.

Definitely qualifies them as nominee for the Darwin Award. Natural Selection in progress. TX and FL have the highest number of new daily CoVid cases in all US! As far as I see it, the GOP is culling their voter rolls! More power to them!

would you like your Covid for here or to go ?🤣🤣🤣

Looks like Texans are ready to take their fate into their own hands. Bravo. Unfortunately I'm in California where there might be a sex lockdown soon since aids hasn't died out yet

Don’t visit Texas

Stand back and count

God bless America, PLS!

Looks like we will have to limit travel between states with states like TX dropping their guard.

Close the state border - don’t come to Louisiana!!

Tôi nhút nhát và ít nói . cuộc sống hôn nhân không viên mãn .

More people are gonna die from his ignorance😢

Now we need to observe data and stats, and we will see what how this really looks like

What an idiot, are we sure that branch that fell and paralyzed him did not hit him on the head first?

And it begins , other states will follow . The feds will try to smash the hammer but there are 50 states united let’s see how this plays out

Seems that common sense is breaking out in states all over the USA And yet in the UK!!!

At what point to we give this man the title of mass-murderer he clearly has earned?

Deflection from the power failure and licking trumps boots

tRump Bolsonaro kind of criminal.

Isn’t this going to be a problem for privacy, you’ll be able to tell political affiliation at a glance, mask on = democrat, mask off = republican?

Whoa

Let’s take our foot off the gas right before the finish line.

Death will be very happy with Texas in the coming weeks. How long will it takes Texas to reach the population of zero ?

Texas sounds like a 3rd world nation.

When will Texans finally realize.

Quarantine Texas! of cases/deaths are trending up, and of cases are expected to surge because of freeze. States bordering Texas should close their borders. All flights into/out of Texas should cease immediately.

This puts beleaguered Texans at more risk for what? GOP cue piracy? They seem to be the harm one another party. = Democracy is about caring for all

It's like watching an incoming car crash in slow motion.

Can we get a travel ban to Texas?

Goddamn Texas. I always it’s either Texas or Florida that’s fucking things up for everybody.

Can we get a travel ban to and from Texas?

Let them not turn beggars just like recently, was a hashtag. This is so politically annoying & just in deviance of POTUS sensible & common-sense safety guidelines to beat the virus that are now showing positive outcome on the amount of infestation.

“he's trying to save them. But these people are still linked to the system and that makes them slaves. And most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it' 'The matrix'

rip texas 🙏🏽 guess that winter storm wasn’t enough

If you're looking for me, I'll be in Texas

GovAbbott is derailing POTUS's efforts to get this country back on its feet. He has the same, Trump attitude, 'it is what it is' when it comes to caring about Texas.

Mandates should be lifted nationwide. Get back to life. We know what works and many will still wear a mask. Those that want vaccinated will get vaccinated. Educate and remember the right of autonomy.

hahahaha

Teachers haven’t been vaccinated yet. Groups 1A and 1B. Still a lot of people need to be vaccinated.

When will he be held accountable for any excess deaths caused by his decision?

Fear is. man's greatest disease ! Bold decisions have always moved mankind forward . Congratulations !

Luckily, only two bus loads of Texas Voters died yesterday. Maybe they better offer (very) early mail-in ballot voting? GoodbyeBoomers

Good.

Sounds like someone got a brain freeze

ENDLOCKDOWNNOW CCP_is_terrorist

The dam that they have done to the elderly and children is a national disgrace and they need to be held accountable for abuse ⚠️

Republicans have given up on your safety.

Great. He probably added an additional three months to the pandemic nationally.

GOP=GRIFTERS_ON_PARADE

Let's be honest, he probably has a stake in the funeral industry and wants to make sure his income keeps flowing. He is a real piece of work and needs to be removed. ditchabbott

He will just California our Texas. Mr Dumfounded over mask mandate lift. This is Texas McConaughey not California. Don’t serve your Californians.
