Maybe Governor Abbott should file a restraining order against the Delta variant because it’s stalking his state with impunity. 🇺🇸💉
@Vote Fraud Joe lol… wrong you racist
@David Quesada I don’t want my kids to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle.
– Sniffy-in-Chief 10% Big Guy
Perfect Republican logic, except they will want to give covid a tax cut.
@David Quesada If the kids are kept in cages, how can you catch the virus from them ? Don’t tell me you went to visit them …. in their cages ?!?!? Hard to believe !!!
Exactly and the same with anyone giving aid and comfort to the virus.
“The enemy is not Gov. Abbott…” Really? “The friend of my enemy is…” seems to be applicable here.
@The Blade Yep. Another convincing win for the “Survival of the Fittest” theory, and clearly, that’s not Texans.
@M. Lewis nice copy and paste
@Richard Chase….I agree. Abbott is a big part of the problem because he’s catering to a base who is anti-democracy, anti-science, anti-truth and anti-everything that benefits us all.
@The Blade stay in your own yard
@Daisy Mae You don’t get sick from eating Covid… not at *ALL* how respiratory illness works.
Who in their bloody right mind takes medical advice from a politician ? Republicans don’t need doctors or hospitals when they get ill .. Just go to your governor’s office ..
Yes, and breathe on him……profusely, without a mask on!
@The Blade wasn’t the lone ranger who wore a mask from Texas
@Price is Right Did you inject yourself with chlorine as the one-term president told you ???
@Jake Childress I think you spelled your last name wrong….. Jake Childish. Don’t wear a mask man, don’t get the vac. But you should go on a cruise and please take your entire family.
@Jake Childress You really look like those guys who attacked the Capitol on 01/06 ! Same look, same rhetoric !
Love how supposed anti big govt Republicans are literally stripping local govts of their own governance power.
Nothing will save Biden and the Democrats next election.. they are out .. wait watch and see .. the US 🇺🇸 will be saved by its citizens .. wait watch and see .. Democrats are mad as Hades here in Texas .. voting anyone but Democrat !!!!
@Darwinsom what about the birds? Why are the songbirds all dying?
States rights? I guess not so much.
@Faux Que i guess you are anti laws prohibting drunk driving and anti seat belts too huh?
Yes. Only when it suits their agenda.
Thank God for the judge.
Thanks for helping keep the kids safe
Finally people are waking up. It’s their job to keep themselves, the kids and community. May God bless n the real leaders of the world.
Humorless integrity vs self-serving charm. Gee.
Greg ,Ron and Donald all need to live together
@David Quesada Last time I checked Hunter Biden was not elected to any political position 🤷♂️
@agf1700 I wonder how many crack pipes and hookers him and Joe swapped back and forth.
Hunter Biden is not a criminal.
@David Quesada yes the White House with the padded walls and ceiling they can take turn wearing the straitjacket…
🤣👍
I was thinking of Prison myself
I’ll take my medical advice from doctors thank you!
Isn’t it bad enough that Abbott didn’t do a Damm thing about the power outage in his state that killed innocent people now he wants to do same thing about not wearing masks! And still the same people keep voting these clowns in😂
No in Texas they are voting him out asap they decided that when he killed them with the power outages.
In a medical disaster, healthcare professionals are forced to make heartbreaking decisions on which kids get those beds… All the while these GOP politicians are making it their job to keep this pandemic going and killing kids. The motto of the GOP has always been pro-fetus not pro-life.
The world is screwed up , when a governor needs a restraining order because he is trying to encourage people to do things that can make them get sick.
There’s got to be a higher standard for people runing for office because America is only as good as the people we vote for and put in office….
The system works. He is actually representing the majority of the people in his state, and he will be re-elected.
@Toby Williams i would bet against that
Do you mean the majority of the people that were freezing to death because of his bad choices or the people getting covid because of downplaying the virus and the mask-wearing and vaccination…
it won’t be long before he will need to ask the Federal government for help again so much for being against big government but if you’re happy that great 🙄
@Ron Pennington see you on November 8, 2022
@Ron Pennington are you a Texan?
From where I stand, Governor Abbutt seems to be allying himself with the enemy and making it political. I understand why Jenkins is talking sideways though. Because, politics.
That’s my Judge! Abbott can’t stand him because he calls him out.
Those who voted these Republicans into office have been lied to, let down, misinformed, unprotected, and list goes on. Please, RID your governors ASAP you and families are in danger of dying.
Sorry but these people will vote fore these carnival barkers in mid terms
I say, if Abbott and his fellow “Texans” want to get Covid, let them. Just keep them in Texas where they “deserve” to be.
Isn’t that what the governor wanted a judge to do since he realized he made a mistake signing it?
Is “enemy” hyperbolic? At this point, it’s apropos.
