texans be like
I FUCKING LOVE HUMAN SUFFERING
Gregg Abbott you mean
Gregg Abbott is the manifested Primal of Texas, summoned by sufficient oil-aspected aether crystals.
Many Texans ask why Governor Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair. His story is one of triumph over tragedy.
On a summer day in July 1984, Governor Greg Abbott, a 26-year-old recent law school graduate, decided to take a break from studying for the bar exam by going for a jog in a west Houston neighborhood as he’d done many times before. While out running, a large oak tree along his path cracked and fell on Governor Abbott’s back, leaving him forever paralyzed from the waist down.
After being rushed to the hospital, doctors discovered several crushed vertebrae splintering into his spinal cord, broken ribs, and damage to vital organs.
As he lay in a hospital bed, throttled with incomprehensible pain, doctors worked to piece his vertebrae back together. They inserted two steel rods near his spine, which will remain there for the rest of his life. During his harrowing recovery process, Governor Abbott was reminded of lessons he’d learned all his life, especially the lesson of perseverance.
Through this experience, Governor Abbott learned that our lives aren’t defined by our challenges. Instead, we define our lives by how we respond to those challenges. His triumph over tragedy shows that Governor Greg Abbott doesn’t back down from challenges, but uses his lessons in perseverance to overcome them.
While some politicians talk about having a spine of steel, Governor Abbott actually has one. He’ll use his steel spine to fight for you and for every Texas family!
“Unless you’re poor and disabled, then fuck you, pardner! YEEHAW!”
…and he won a multimillion dollar settlement, then did his damnedest to pull the ladder up behind him…
Damn, wish he had had shittier doctors
They just want to put the disabled into camps along with the jews, minorities, lgbtq+ etc.
They’re literally making lists of trans people
:yea:
Serious question - how in any logical fashion does this make any sense?
I’m American but I’m not understanding this. Medicaid is federal money so in other words it’s basically free money for the state. I know the republicans love nonsense like owning the libs and “reducing the dependency on the government” but is there some kind of cogent argument here even in theory?
The cruelty is the point.It strengthens support amongst their voter base and is an advertising strategy for people who hate social welfare to move to Texas
Texas seems to be in a heated race with Florida to be the most planned and deliberate horrible possible place to live in the United States.
Had to pay for Ted Cruz’s vacations somehow
Okay, so make the money available instead to help people move out of Texas. Set them up in better run States where they can live with a little dignity.
Gotta find that another $20 billion somehow.
