A Christmas Special: Greg Abbott Hates Little Children
As you’ve heard, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is trying to extort charities and faith based groups in Texas from helping Syrian refugees.
Now he’s taken it a step further and people with triple digit IQ’s predict he’s gonna end up as the legal centerpiece at Christmas dinner with a candle in his butt and sufficient tinsel to cover Dallas.
… it’s worth flagging a different suit by Texas against the federal government, filed late Wednesday, that seeks an injunction barring the resettlement of Syrian refugees into Texas — on the ground that such resettlement would violate 8 U.S.C. § 1522, …
That provision in the law says the federal government must engage in “some consultation with states on refugee resettlement matters.”
The federal government replied that they did, indeed, consult with Texas, and if Texas can’t listen that’s not their problem. Additionally, among many other wacky things that Texas is whining about, Texas can’t show harm. In fact …
Texas can’t show any irreparable harm (“Since fiscal year 2011, 243 Syrian refugees have resettled in Texas. Yet Plaintiff does not explain how these specific refugees—mostly children, their parents, and in one case their grandparents—pose a danger to anyone anywhere, let alone to the State of Texas.”)
Yeah? Well, they scare little man Greg Abbott to death. Especially those children. You never know what kids are going to do next. Hell, one of them might even point and giggle at the coward in the Texas Gov Shack.
Thanks to Scott for the heads up.
Republicans have got to point to somebody to be afraid of. It’s how they get people to vote for them: by promising to protect them from the big bad monsters. Why those voters also need to arm themselves to the teeth to go to church and Walmart, I don’t know. I guess they just don’t trust anybody in gubmint, even their own.
1Dayum! How many more trees are needed to hit this dufus, before he before he declares a war on wind and trees? He’s a snacilbupeR, so we cannot expect him to accept any responsibility for his situation. One could almost anticipate his war on trees, but little children? Dufus has a bad case of misdirected anger.
Have a toothpick, Greg, and deal with it.
2Is that a taper candle or a great big pillar candle?
3Cheryl, I would suggest an M-81.
4I have this picture and cannot get it from my mind. Greg Abbot with a candle in his butt and an apple in his mouth.
5Just the other day I heard that TX had accepted the fed’s assertion that all regulations had been satisfied by the fed and TX was backing off on their rejection of a family of Syrian immigrants. Of course, leave it to Ab-but who is addicted to lawsuits to pull this kind of stunt. It is so obvious he ain’t gonna get away with it! And yet he howls and whines and that is just plain p.a.t.h.e.t.i.c!
6If I ever lose my sense of humor over the idiocy that is “Texas” I may as well curl up in the fetal position, and stay.

Enjoy!
7I think he confused “Suffer the little children” with “Make the little children suffer”.
8Abbott as a centerpiece on my table?
I’ll light the candle but then I’m eating out.
9No room at the Texas Inn for middle eastern families looking for shelter. Maybe Abbott’s got a stable in a detention camp for them. How easily and often the rwnj KKKristians cast aside the lessons of the New Testament and show that they are not what they claim to be. It’s Advent, you moron.
10I am at a loss to explain Mr Abbot’s election as our Gov. Not a person I know owns up voting for him. Hth did he get elected?
11I lost track of the times the gov has lost to Obama! Yet, we taxpayers keep paying!
12As a gay man, let me clearly state no matter how you serve up Abbott, with or without candle or apple, there’s nothing there I’d care to eat. Thank you.
13Cheryl- During my hippie days I used to make sand and snow candles. You could make them, more or less, in place a practice I’d recomend for the guv.
14Good answer JAK!
15I know a bunch of folks who voted for Abbott. Not sure why but they admit it, brag about it. They like his policies. Pick and choose which policies they like.
16Great link Miemaw! Wonkette does not mince words or make nice with the certified I-Dots of faux news or other snacilbupeR dimwits.
17p.s. He hires people to comb laws hunting for obscure laws that can be used for his purposes. And besides, he don’t like Democrats.
