I might not say this if I lived in Florida. Greg Abbott is as big a LOSER as Donald Trump. Abbott is a “whiney little bitch,” as Bill Maher says of Trump. Business Insider reports that Abbot said in an appeal to the Biden Administration: “While the Biden administration has cut supplies of monoclonal antibody treatments and testing kits when they are needed most, the State of Texas is urging the federal government to step up in this fight and provide the resources necessary to help protect Texans.”
Okay, lets cut through the horseshit here. Firstly, when you grovel for aid, it is unseemly to attack the entity from whom you are begging help, Pendejo! Secondly, the Dept of Health and Human Services is out of the single antibody infusion that is effective against Omicron. Thirdly, the scarcity of at-home rapid antibody tests for COVID affects everyone in every state. This isn’t a matter of withholding or “cutting supplies” of these supplies from Texans. EVERYBODY is fucked – not just Texans. Maybe Greggy boy should have considered the possibility that mass vaccinations would have left fewer Texans in need of antibody treatments and tests before deciding to engage in a pissing contest with scientists. But, No! Because this is Texas and MAGA and FreeDUMB!
“Back in October, Abbott issued an executive order that barred any Texas entity, including private businesses, from issuing COVID-19 vaccine mandates. That ban came after Biden announced plans to require private businesses with more than 100 employees to require COVID-19 vaccination or weekly testing.
“In yet another instance of federal government overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’s continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster,” Abbott said in the order at the time.” This is the most stupid Texas Governor that I have experienced in 72 years as a Texan. And, they include Bush “The Shrub” and “Oops, I can’t remember the Department” to which I am going to be appointed Secretary,” Rick Perry.
Texas politicians are largely rich white boys with lackluster academic and career resumes. Alas!
