A tale of a self own: Greg Abbott's border sabotage


 

So Im sure you guys heard about it already.  It was all over the news and if you live in Texas it was pretty evident what was going on.  So king clown GOP governor, Greg Abbott, put on a big show.  Operation Lone Star where he deployed Texas National Guard soldiers to the border.  Why?  for a fiasco, a political stunt to make Democrats look bad but there was only one ass here.

Not only did the National Guard Troops chew him out for the deplorable conditions at the border and also for a very unclear mission.  But his orders included extra inspections on commercial vehicles entering Texas and truck drivers were stuck at the border for over 30 hours.  Hungry, Tired and those hauling perishables may see their freight spoiled upon reaching their destination.  Costing Texas and the US millions of dollars.

BUUUUT, it does not stop there.  The HDIC (Head Deplorable In Charge) also decided to send a bus full of illegal, undocumented immigrants to Washington DC as a political "statement" which in a way was helpful.  No, it wasn't helpful to Texas or the US because most of these people would have wound up in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina anyway so I'm sure they are thankful for the free ride.  Mr.  Governor if you are going to waste tax payers money why dont you put it to good use.  Send everyone in your state a stimulus check, feed the homeless, or help with housing.  You know, something useful.  

Anyway, what was this all for?  Owning the libs.  Im sure someone came to him and thought it was funny,  It wasn't.  He wanted to manufacturer a border crisis to try and make Democrats look bad but he was the one who wound up with egg on his face.  Both acts were incredibly stupid.  For one, the intense inspections which caused a bunch of delays and cost these truck drivers time.  Most truckers are paid by the freight, they are NOT paid by the hour.  So not only did he introduce these truckers to their OWN financial hardships but he also cost everyone.  Then with this bus full of immigrants, I hope he vetted them.  Because the last thing I think Gregory wants is to knowingly send just ANYONE to the nations capital.

So what can Texans do?  Vote for Beto.  Look O'Rourke may have his own issues and while I think overly optimistic is one of them at least he isn't brain dead.  I mean Jesus Christ.  Dude, stop trying to out Trump everyone else in the GOP.  This little stunt just shows me Abbott is incapable of independent thought.
