haven't heard what prompted your comment, but I assure it is justified.

that's exactly what he is doing. The man has no soul. I live in Texas.

Says we should pray

Interesting.

You said you were sorry to call one of the worst Republicans an asshole. It's an odd comment.

being DU member expressing their outrage.

And I didn't say there was anything strange about expressing outrage. As anyone reading can clearly see.

and human being? JHC. There are so many of them out there. It would take 100 of us just to keep up with one SOB.

No foul. You just sounded like you were trying to start a fight. Sorry if I am wrong.

Unless you’re brown skinned.

What a load of shit Greg - what a load of shit.

Not that they did anything to restrict gun purchases.

What a motherfucker!

I am a strange mix of angry and numb. But that fcking hypocrite Abbott woke me the hell up.

It's important to do what we can, but we are never going to get rid of guns.

no emotion

...it sounded insincere and had the feeling of a bland stump speech that he'd repeated dozens of times.

He broke out in the Southern Baptist Preacher cadence those of us who escaped from that shithole cult grew up with. I just about came unglued. God, and love, and coming together. And later had throw in the mental illness thing. When was the last time an Islamic dude was excused as mentally ill!

Did you see his look when they gave the Microphone to their congress person, who was not invited to sit at the table, you’ll notice. And a Democratic Member.

She pretty much said it’s early, but if what are reading now holds up the shit is going to hit the fan. I especially liked when the Mayor, who I think is a republican, said this guy came from another part of Texas. He was not an El Pasoen. Or whatever they call themselves.

That Texas Governor is trash. Could tell in 2 minutes. All he was ‘concerned’ about was the optics.

I mean, why are you sorry?

Dump

Greg Abbott
Donald J Trump
Dee Margo

Bet that chief of police had a real story to tell

Oh, and fuck you.

And he's an actual preacher.

Plenty of Texans have always known that Abbott is a U.S. certified grade A prime filet of asshole.

I give you Steve Scalise. Shot by a gunman at softball practice. Yet still supports the NRA and gun madness. These people are hopeless.

Greg Abbott is a festering asshole.

At this point I will gladly tell them where they can shove their thoughts and prayers....

how everyone outside Texas should know that Greg Abbott is a piece of shit. Unhelpful to say the least.

Tex-ass is open carry. Where the fuck were all the good guys with guns?

Wait, white shooter gets caught. Unarmed black guy gets killed.

Last Republican governor this state will have

His response was to warn antifada protestors who he heard were planning a border protest not to come. He said they are not welcome in Texas ever, but especially not now. He must have been confused about where to direct his anger. Can’t go after white nationalists, oh no.

I understand completely what you mean. You're not sorry for Abbott,
but it is a very sorry situation. DUers who have been here a while
should know your opinions better.
I missed the speech and I'm glad I did.

didn't say "That's what you get, El Paso, for letting all those criminals cross the border every day and make "fine people" angry. And not giving everyone guns so that they could have defended themselves.

And/or “Democrats are responsible because they didn’t fund the border wall. If they could build the wall then this guy wouldn’t have become so angry.”

I'm in Texas and I emphatically agree.

He's worse than an asshole. Mean as can be, imo, and views a variety of Texans, like me, as unworthy of basic levels of respect. All the while, he's been wearing a smile that's increasingly dopey and annoying as the years go by. He's been a glass of ice water poured down my back more than a few times.

I'm working up to what I have to say about him in full. I'm not there, yet. Am still processing this day.
