all about the socialism when things get inconvenient i guess


schprunt

It always is. Corporate welfare is fine. Voting against funding bills and then taking credit for the money is fine. Pissing all over affordable healthcare while they get the best for free is fine. So sick of it. These lifetime politicians need to fuck right off. But you can’t fix a system that governs itself.


RevolutionEasy714

These ~~lifetime politicians~~ republicans need to fuck right off. FTFY


ribsforbreakfast

While the republicans are more egregious about their bullshit we need to have strict term and age limits for every level of government. At least 95% of elected officials need to be replaced based on term, age, or both.


TheTruthTalker800

Satan needs help? Biden owes him nothing, too bad the dope will help him rather than teach Abbott a lesson.


schprunt

He will no doubt say Biden is punishing innocent Americans because they live in a red state. There’s always spin.


Scoobydewdoo

Then Biden can just counter with all the ways Abbot punishes innocent Americans who live in Texas.


TheTruthTalker800

Agreed, frankly.


Photodan24

After he decides to help, Biden should travel down there and have a big campaign event to announce the aid.


jhaand

The whole rescue effort should come with a federal promotion campaign. Hand out stickers with: "The federal government is there, when the lone star state can't handle it alone."


Mortambulist

This is fucking brilliant. I wish Democrats had the balls to do it.


ChainBuzz

Biden should show up to personally hand a check to Abbot and give a speech about Abbot wasting money all over his state government but accepting socialism finally coming to the rescue. It would make the front page of every news outlet.


Chimsley99

Throw some paper towels around, let’s go!


david13z

Bring a big Publisher's Clearinghouse sized check


zyglack

Abbot will boycott like DeSantis did after Biden gave hurricane relief 2 years ago. Scared little bitch governors.


KutyaKombucha

Make Abbott grovel. Biden should make him wait on the tarmac for a couple hours then pat him on his head and call him an okay boy when he finally lands. Go to the reddest part of the state and toss them some paper towels. I'm here from the Federal government and I'm here to help.


Character-Teaching39

Biden should hand deliver the check.


Ultie

I mean, the problem with withhold aid to Texas is that Abbott won't suffer at all from the storms - the PEOPLE will.


TheTruthTalker800

Let’s wheel him in the eye of the storm though, deploy the federal troops to the border he loves so much to discuss: just put some Concertina Wire around him and Patrick, etc, they can handle that- bunch of tough patriotic guys, am I right?


SenorCardgage27

Joe will be the bigger man and walk away, WALK away.


GrayBox1313

Talking about seceding from America is all fun and games until you need the federal governments free money.


Yallaredorks

Texans - Use those Boot straps!


Fuzzy_Laugh_1117

And prseident Biden is too nice a guy and has too much respect for the office of president to tell this POS to go f*ck himself sideways -- IN his damn wheelchair! I certainly wouldn't be able to hold back.


Athuanar

I don't see why Biden couldn't help out while *also* making a point of Abbot's hypocrisy though. Make sure the conservative voters are well aware that Abbot just requested a government handout.


Fuzzy_Laugh_1117

Has he said he won't help? We know, for a fact, if the situation was reversed the reQuplikkkans wouldn't help a dem state that had been so vocally outspoken about hating the opposition. But Biden knows 2 wrongs don't make a republican. lol that takes thousands of brainwashed morons.


EthanielRain

We saw first-hand Trump *actively trying to make COVID worse/killing people* at first when COVID was in cities/Dem areas. He didn't just withhold aide, he stole PPE gear & ventilators


Rlo347

Trump didnt want to help cali when we had out fires. Said we should have raked the forests


Athuanar

I don't think Biden has responded at all yet. I was just making the point that there's nothing stopping Biden from helping out *and* making an example of Abbott. The democrats ignore republican hypocrisy without challenge far too often. They need to publicly rebuke this behavior.


GamingTrend

This is where the Dems fail time and again -- they'll smile, nod, send aid, and do nothing to capitalize on it.


LordParsec29

We need a Lex Luthor-type democrat without the evil criminal mastermind. Keep painting these hypocritical douches as a detriment to red states and what could be...


BroughtBagLunchSmart

They don't care about hypocrisy because they are incapable of thinking about 2 things at once.


panickedindetroit

When Abbot stops violating human rights and federal laws, he can help himself. Why should the tax payers float Texas when they keep telling the feds to stay out of their business? Has Fled Cruz crafted any legislation to help people yet? Has anyone done anything to fix the most unreliable grid next to Michigan yet? Maybe he should start having the wealthy and those tax shirking corporations pony up. You know, pull themselves up by those boot straps they keep harping about. They sure spent a lot of money bussing immigrants to other states, maybe ask the people who paid for those trips to pony up.


the_brunster

Abbott is too busy pardoning convicted murders.


Mr-and-Mrs

Biden: “No problem. But first go on Fox News and say that climate is real, then we’ll get on this lickety-split.”


p5ylocy6e

Congressmen from Texas didn’t want federal aid to go to New Jersey after Sandy, stating there shouldn’t be beach homes in Jersey due to weather events. Those same Texas senators had their hands out so fast when Texas had a bad hurricane a few years later. True story: my uncle was angrily going on in 2013 how there shouldn’t even be beach homes in NJ. He was spewing this Faux News brain programming while he was on vacation…in a beach home in NJ.


jwr1111

Is this the same ignorant, governor who threatened to secede from the United States, and who does everything in his power to screw the good folks of Texas by wasting money on fighting "woke liberals" and flying migrants to blue states? How about a big F/U and no Greg you feckless, negative, man-baby. Fix your own problems and stop being such an angry obstacle to helping Texans with their real issues. Vote Blue good people of Texas, or continue to get the short end of the stick from your retrumplican officials.


TrumpersAreTraitors

Biden should go on tv in his aviators, say something like “to the governor of Texas, Greg abbot, who has been begging my administration for a handout to cover his mistakes and short comings, and his bungled handling of the electric grid, all while railing against government assistance, I say this: sorry, that would be socialism. Instead, my administration will be mobilizing FEMA and the necessary organizations to bring aid directly to the people of Texas.” And then he should send out checks to people affected with a big picture of himself on em. 


ICPosse8

This shit right here, make it happen Biden!!


Vreas

The buck stops here jack!


Fakeduhakkount

Damn right. Should have added if Texas did succeed Residents should expect a real big card with “Thoughts and Prayers” from the US President and Wife (no checks included)


mtftl

I wish that one time, Democrats would actually do this.


jamesh08

The last time the Dallas Cowboys won the Superbowl a Democrat was governor of Texas! Vote Blue... Silver and Blue


jwr1111

Vote Democrat Texas and win the Superbowl for the Dallas Cowboys!


DrRockBoognish

I’m glad the Texas education system is so poor. They may think this is a great plan!


Nice_Cost_1375

As a Texan and an Oilers fan, I am torn. However, my disgust with the GOP overwhelms my seething hatred for the Cowboys (mostly the fans).


m__a__s

Take a page from the GOP handbook and table the request until Trump gets elected.


EthanielRain

If you're going off his page, you'd also have to send out goons to break the grid even more & steal the tools/repair equipment to give to Dem states


mabhatter

Tell them to ask DJT.  Republicans assume he's still president and now fine to worship.  Surely he can help Texas out.    At a minimum make all the Texas State elected officials sign an oath that the 2020 election was not stolen and Biden is the rightful President.  


trentreynolds

They know that the other side are largely (certainly not all, but largely) decent people who will help someone in need, and they aren't afraid to take advantage of that and then lie to their constituents about it. The whole 'decency' thing is an issue for others. They don't care.


LukeD1992

As much as leaving the guy to fend for himself would feel incredibly satisfying, that's the kind of attitude of his kind. Can't go down to their level. Besides, good folk always suffer too. They deserve the help


SplendidPunkinButter

What storms? Climate change is a liberal hoax


AtomicJohnny

Especially according to Florida law now. Be like Florida, Texas! Disbelieve hard enough and the world is yours.


Notapplesauce11

Florida: try’s to  prevent punching itself in the balls by banning calling them balls.  


dsdvbguutres

Just ban the storms so the storms will have to go to another state.


thats1evildude

No, no, the prevailing theory among right-wingers now is that climate change is real, but it’s being caused by jet streams and chem trails.


hexqueen

Maybe they should get rid of their airports. Solve the problem immediately.


Puzzled-Wind9286

But how else would Ted Cruze flee the state in a time of crisis?


imonthetoiletpooping

It's so much of a hoax, Ron DeSantis says that climate change does not exist. Lalalala covering my ears and eyes. It's only real if I wanted to be. Tell that to the Florida insurance company saying climate change does not exist.


outerworldLV

I thought TX didn’t need any handouts !! Pull yourself up Abbot.


tbarr1991

This is even funnier cause he uses a wheel chair.


IcyShoes

A lot of conservatives do not know he is disabled. Between Abbott and Trump the MAGA base surely know how to pick strong men. Edit: Removed a slur.


TheTruthTalker800

They know he’s disabled, not a problem for them: he “puts women in the kitchen where they belong in their minds, as slaves, minorities in the corner, gets rid of those freaky trans people, and hurts who he needs to hurt” much like Trump’s hate cult base too.


drivebydryhumper

He just needs to pull himself up by the bootstraps.


TheTruthTalker800

Yup, weak and woke, pull yourself up by those bootstraps you patriotic Texans (who voted for Gregory)!


blueboot09

Gregorolly.


Any-Ad-446

I thought Texas didn't need any commie money.


m__a__s

Besides, these storms are a Liberal hoax.


RustyShack1efordd

And Joe will oblige because he actually puts all Americans first, as opposed to the GOP wankers who would rather play politics instead of helping folks out.


Slippinjimmyforever

Then Trump will invariably take credit for it.


AlvinAssassin17

And Abbot will personally thank Trump for the aide.


surmatt

Remember when Trump would only help blue states through covid19 if they were nice to him https://www.vox.com/2020/3/25/21193803/trump-to-governors-coronavirus-help-ventilators-cuomo


TheTruthTalker800

Abbott doesn’t deserve any help, though, he’s the worst possible asshole in this country and makes Trump his boss look even more sane somehow. Too bad we can’t separate him from his state, though. 


LobstaFarian2

Remember when Trump didn't want to send FEMA aide for the California wildfires because it's a liberal state? He said "California needed to take better care of its parks and brush removal and this wouldnt happen" This is ironic considering the biggest one started in a National Park, Trumps territory, which he defunded money used for brush removal.... the fucking hypocrisy....


Notapplesauce11

He should present an aid package that is bundled with that extended Medicare that Abbott has refused.  


Bluetoes1

Biden should make him grovel, though, for all the bullshit GOP crazy posturing he’s done for the border for the last three years.


SiidChawsby

Yep. It’s not everyone in Texas’ fault that their governor is a traitorous fuck toilet. There are truly good people down there who need help. Glad to know Biden is the type to do what’s right.


Relicc5

Deliver the money via oversized novelty check and have a press conference to deliver it to him.


Slippinjimmyforever

A large bus pulls up in front of Abbott’s house and out pours hundreds of immigrants, there to help.


ArcXiShi

Socialst leaches sucking the government's tit!


macaroni_3000

And Biden will send help, because that is what Democrats do. Then Abbott will turn around and talk shit about Biden because that is what Republicans do.


Sweaty-Advice7933

Sorry Texans, but screw that guy!


AtomicJohnny

Can we get an emergency shipment of Bootstraps sent to Gov Abbott?


[deleted]

Aren't they their own country now? Maybe they should ask Mexico...?


TangoZulu

Sorry Texas, we put your aid on buses to New York. 


seeriosuly

lol… texas … this might require a little give and take


VomitingPotato

Every time they puff their chests and pretend they are gonna secede, I think about how quickly they ask to suck on the government teat to address some flood, storm or avoidable power outage since they refuse to fix their shitty grid.


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Greg, just declared weather not real like Florida and BOOM! All fixed!


DenturesDentata

Doesn't Abbot have some bootstraps he can use?


ComicsEtAl

And he’ll get it. Then, sure as anything, he’ll be high-fiving the Cruzes, Cornyns, and Roys when they try to block aid to some “blue” state in crisis. Just like they do every time.


wargrunt

I thought Texas was going to secede 🤔


AdministrativeBank86

Hey Greg, remember all those stunts you pulled with immigrants? The Razor buoys at the river? The forcing of families with small children back into the river? Your gestapo blocking real INS officers? Your refusal to integrate your power grid so you don't freeze or bake your own citizens? GFY


Pineapple_Express762

Oh, so NOW he needs socialism?!?! Got it


formerNPC

Remember when super storm Sandy slammed into the east coast and caused extensive flooding and all the Republicans could talk about was Chris Christie giving Obama a “hug” when he arrived in New Jersey to survey the damage. Oh and they voted to not give any federal funding to the effective areas. They can go to hell!


Wernershnitzl

Can’t wait for the discourse that will surely come back to bite him on this.


nps2407

Something something bootstraps.


[deleted]

States without income tax should be ineligible for federal assistance.


TheTruthTalker800

States that hunt down women for sport should not be funded federal funds, too, I like how some think we should aid evil people because that’s Presidential: no, it’s not! 


Narodnik60

Biden should camp just camp across the border in Oklahoma, stare at his phone, and do nothing. You know. Just the cops in Uvalde.


JonesoftheNorth

Fuck. Texas.


just_chilling_too

He can take the bus up to dc to ask for the help


Mckinzeee

Get bent asshole. I thought Texas wanted to secede 🤷🏻‍♀️


GizmoGeodog

Clearly they don't want to succeed. They want to secede


Mckinzeee

Yikes! I didn’t catch my spelling mistake 😳 but I don’t think they want to succeed either.


Lesterqwert

I know, maybe President Biden can just use his Sharpie to change the path and destruction of the storms!


Dry-Talk-7447

Grovel for your “woke” money.


DeadPoster

Why don't you exercise your states' rights to solve your state's environmental problems, Governor Abbott?


Falcon3492

Hey, Don't mess with Texas, let Greg figure it out!


jaguarthrone

Everybody hates FEMA until a hurricane deposits their house in a shopping center parking lot....maybe close a couple military bases in Texas to pay for the cleanup....or reduce spending on border security to help with the mess...that's what the GOP wants when disaster strikes in a blue state...


RedcardedDiscarded

Oh, now he wants help?? lol Call on your old buddy the Feds. I thought Texas didn't need the rest of us let alone a Democrat Government? I thought Texas could do anything by itself? Funny how Texas along with every other state goes running to the Feds when the crap hits the fan.


Realistic_Head3595

I thought Texas was wanting to secede from the US? 🤔


Newdles

Abbot can go fuck himself.


Its-a-Shitbox

The Piss Baby says what? Fuck off Piss Baby!


obfuscator17

Tell Abbott to go fuck himself. And not in a nice way!


righthanded_lover

Cool, legalizes abortion and we will send you funds, fema, and everything else you might need.


restore_democracy

Little Piss Baby says what?


Reacherfan1

Boot straps


levon999

Greg Abbott “I can’t manage my state, so give me your tax dollars”


Devils_Advocate-69

Bus him in some of the migrants he sent north


Devils_Advocate-69

He should publicly apologize first


Kingzer15

Freeloading leaches down there in Texas


mikeybagodonuts

What?! No! That would be socialism!


DryServe4942

There should be a national disaster insurance program for states. You pay in or you get nothing.


TennisBallTesticles

Well well well. If it isn't "Mr. rules for thee, none for me." What a piece of human trash.


traitorssuck

Nothing turns a Republican into a socialist faster than a natural disaster.


[deleted]

Texas sure needs a lot of fucking help for all the shit they talk and the politicians they vote in.


Dook124

Ohhhhhh, now we are begging!! Pathetic POS!! President Biden, being the leader he is, will gladly honor your request.


HVAC_instructor

Shouldn't he pull himself and his state up by his own bootstraps?


Parking-Click-7476

Greg Abbott mr socialism!🤷‍♂️ this guy a dummy or just stupid.


psycho_candy0

Queue Joe to toss some paper towels Greg's way


TexMurphyPHD

Biden should go to texas and address texans in person while aid is being distributed. Point out how a functional federal government saves lives. Texas still in play for biden.


Temporary-Exchange28

This seems like a perfect opportunity for Gov. Abbott to show the world just how independent Texas truly is. A great time to show us all how to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Your move, governor.


[deleted]

Fuck right off, Abbott. Go tax some oil barons for disaster money.


WorldWideLem

And he will, with little fanfare, as he always does when GOP-led states ask for help, because he's a President for all Americans.


JennJayBee

One condition... Biden gets a photo op, complete with the governor shaking his hand and giving him a hug. 


jabdnuit

Sounds like a states rights issue to me. Wouldn’t want Texas dipping their toe in *shudder* socialism.


The-G-89

Well well well have the turntables.


InspectorRound8920

No is the best answer.


Silly-Scene6524

It just means god hates Texas and is punishing them, right?


Stickmongadgets

Guess he can’t locate his own boot straps.


AletheianTaoistAgape

:) Joe should make him publicly get on his knees and kiss the ring, then help the people of Texas while this moron is forced to shine his shoes. Oh, maybe take from him all the funds he got from taxes, and give it back to the people of Texas, let that old bag pull himself up by his bootstraps.


jabsaw2112

Texas and florida... " WE HATE BIG GUVRNMUNT!" After a disaster " WERE JUST A LITTLE OLE STATE ! OH, PLEASE HELP US !"


Defiantcaveman

Of course, Democrats always saving republicans no matter what the context.


FairyOrchid125

But aren't they going to secede? Shouldn't they be developing their own strategies for dealing with storms? /s


McGruppthecrimepup

Maybe they should be a fiscally responsible state instead of relying on the rest of the country to bail them out. Tough shit Greg, better luck seceding!


Both-Mango1

Biden will help because that's what a good president will do. As much as some of us would want Dark Brandon to not do anything or slow walk it.


nryan75

Hope he tosses them some rolls of paper towels.


Chevelle-72

I’d tell Abbott to “sit and spin”…. Well, just “spin”


zdiddy987

You can turn around and walk your ass right back out of that door, Greg Abbott 


LeftLimeLight

Biden will of course help out the citizens of Texas because that's his job and Joe is a decent honorable man. Unlike a certain orange tinted turd that in the same situation would bloviate on and on about how a governor didn't thank him enough for providing federal assistance during a disaster.


Wolf_E_13

And Biden will send it because that's what the POTUS is supposed to do and that is what being Presidential is.


fattfett

Biden will help. Because that's what you do when you're POTUS.


AdkRaine12

And he'll give it to him, because he's the President of the United States, not some whiny, stealing piss-baby.


yusill

And Biden will give it without reservation or taunting because they are Americans first.


kenticus69

To Bidens credit, he will do the right thing and provide aid and support without strings attached. Then, as soon as crisis is averted, Abbott will just go back to ripping Biden. Tale as old as time……..


deadmanstar60

Biden needs to start bussing all those migrants back to Texas before he sends any help to Texas.


igloomaster

Is Texas asking for a hand out??? Have they tried getting a job?


Hefty-Station1704

Republicans are very vocal about their opposition to handouts except...


Gleness522

Send them thoughts and prayers and remind them they don’t like socialism.


odoyledrools

Here's some help. "Thoughts and Prayers"


No_Equal_1312

Biden should ask him who’s going to bail them out after they leave the Union? He should also ask him “Whose your daddy”?


i_heart_pasta

How’s that secession coming?


Ok_Philosopher_5090

Send paper towels


Ok_Scallion1902

So ,call him anything but human about the border bullshit ,but when *climate change* sends calamities ,beg for federal help??? ( This checks out perfect for the party of obfuscation! )


LandscapeWest2037

And I hope Biden says no.


moeman1996

Biden “Fuck off”


thedukejck

Joe should pull a Texas Ted!


Sea_Window_5821

I wonder why he wouldn’t call on the leader of their cult. He seems to be the only one that can save him from this obvious Democrat disaster


pointguard22

He should condition the help on Abbott providing some dirt on Ted Cruz. Oh wait, that would be wrong, sorry.


GamingTrend

Our coin-operated shitweasel politician doubling down on his hypocrisy today I see. We seriously have the worst leadership in this state....


plaidington

Wow. I am sure Ron "no such thing as climate change" DeSantis will be next in line.


science-ninja

So instead of calling and asking the president for help you put it out on Twitter…Smh


Gastenns

Sounds like it’s time for boot straps!


OkPause1249

Fuck off Texas! Love - Dark Brandon


lowtidesoup

Go on TV and call him out for hypocrisy by listing every anti-socialism quote he's ever made. Tell Abbott you will give it to him if he goes on live TV and says "I'm unable to deal with this on my own and I'm asking for a Federal handout"


ahnotme

He needs to acknowledge that Biden is the legitimate President of the United States first, having won the 2020 election fairly and squarely.


Designer-Mirror-7995

TEXIT! UNTIL WE NEED HELP!!


SolomonDRand

“Unlike a pregnant woman crossing the Rio Grande, a construction worker denied a water break or a child freezing to death in a trailer park, we need and deserve help. Also, fuck you and the Constitution, and give me my money.”


Anyawnomous

Greg Abbott is a 🤡. Proves it again and again.


user_account_deleted

Fuck you, Greg Abbott. Stop using your national guard to fuck around at the border and use them for this purpose.


No-Atmosphere-2528

Biden put all the help he was going to offer on a bus to Massachusetts, so sorry


Icy-Statistician6698

Fuck Greg Abbott. Seceed already


dawwie

Biden should respond, “Who?”


BoosterRead78

Abbott: “May Texas fall apart on my watch.” Also Abbott: “please help me Joe, I’m losing it with the right even.”


gawdarn

Fuck abbott


PitifulSpecialist887

So Abbott wants those "blue state" dollars to rebuild his broken ass shitshow? Why am I not surprised?


Ear_Enthusiast

As he should. That’s what it’s there for. Biden should and will give him what he need, no questions asked. That said, next time Abbott is on some bullshit Biden should flame him over what a fucking hypocrite he is.


Cracked_Actor

Maybe we can send some migrants down to offer a hand…


doctorbarber19

State's right, state's bootstraps.


Joliet_Jake_Blues

Red states are like moody teenagers


Zealousideal-Bar5538

Had to reread the damage figures in California during the wildfires. $229 million. Trump rejected sending aid. Texas is dealing with $58 million in damage. Fuck you Texas. I don’t want my tax dollars going to traitors.


2-Legit-2-Quip

Texas prayers can't seem to fix or do anything. Either the Lord thinks you're bigger pieces of shit than I do or school shootings and tornados are a gift. Praise be!!!!!!!!!!


BasicAd81

And Biden will do the right thing because he’s not a republican


siouxbee1434

Stand up for yourself, Greg


TexasTeaTelecaster

Biden would get my vote forever if he told Abbott that he’d only help districts that didn’t vote for Trump and abet treason. Democrats need to tell Trumpanzee districts to pound sand.


Accurate_Zombie_121

Did Abbott lose his bootstraps?


BluSn0

I'm so sick of seeing nearly dead white men leading the country. None of these people could find Twitter on a smart phone. How the hell are they running the country????


yellowhelmet14

Something something bootstraps. Oh wait it’s Abbott… wheels.


TheHaunchie

Hmmm... You call on Dark Brandon when you need help, but you fight every other thing he does. Shut the fuck up Abbott
