Obama’s Still Comin’!
Y’all, Texas Governor Greg Abbott does not think you are terrified enough about Obama coming for your guns!
Here’s the whole scare-people-for-money email, but here’s the Reader’s Digest edition:
President Barack Obama is FURIOUS.
On January 20, he’s going to hand over the reins of our federal government to Donald Trump – a man he clearly despises.
But with nothing left to lose, I’m afraid President Obama is going to spend the final weeks of his administration looking for every opportunity to go around Congress and destroy our Second Amendment freedoms!
As your Governor, I’m committed to doing everything I can to protect our gun rights – both in this upcoming session of the Texas Legislature and by taking every legal action possible to stop Washington, D.C.’s assaults.
Yeah, that dude is going door-to-door to get your guns. I mean, he doesn’t have a lot of time to cover the whole country so he’ll probably just sneak in, shoot you, and then make off with your guns. Or give them to gay people wanting abortions while burning the flag.
Also, Texas law says you can’t give the Governor campaign contributions while the legislature is in session so you better hurry up because after December 10th, you can’t give Greg Abbott money to fight Obama until like … I dunno, this summer, and by then all the damn guns will be in the hands of illegal aliens who want to vote.
GIVE GREG ABBOTT SOME MONEY, DAMMIT!
The best part? He whines that the Supreme Court is “deadlocked.” Now, whose fault is that?
There is subliminal messaging in his message…I just had the urge to send money to Democrats running for office…I must obey….
1Wow. It must be something that Abbott is drinking (he really shouldn’t put his hooch through that old radiator. Lead)cause he’s becoming more and more delusional. Can’t that miserable coward just shut up. As for money, it’s a strong incentive to give give give to democrats.
2Morons like A-Butt and Texas wingnuts are too stoopid to possess guns. A guy that lets a tree fall on him is not all there enough to play with dangerous toys.
3Oh, Texas. You sure can pick ’em. BTW: The new Prez is comin’ fer yer womenfolk! Hide ’em, boys! Cuz he’s a grabbin’!
4If Santa can deliver toys to every abode in Murka in the span of a few hours on Christmas Eve, then Obama can snatch every weapon over the next few weeks. You just don’t know how eeevil he is. Obama, not Abbott.
5Butt, butt, Ab-butt, I thought Obama got all the guns last year when his UN forces invaded Texas from shuttered Wal-Mart*s.
What a 24×7 lying a$$hole this governor is!
6Dear God,
7The first tree branch didn’t work. Please send another ASAP.
Thanks,
Texas
“It must be something that Abbott is drinking (he really shouldn’t put his hooch through that old radiator. Lead)cause he’s becoming more and more delusional.”
close to my first thought, “Is this guy all there? Has anyone demanded a psych eval on him recently?” and I say this only halfway in jest. I suspect he suffers from some pretty serious on-going pain, for which he is probably taking something like Oxycontin (the time release version of Oxycodone), pretty serious pain meds. and in that I do empathize with him. I take them as well, for long-term, inoperable shoulder pain (other than that, I think he’s a tortured, flaming asshole).
It wouldn’t at all surprise me to find out that, over the long-term, those meds have had adverse affects on his mental faculties, not that I think he was necessarily totally normal to begin with……………….
“If Santa can deliver toys to every abode in Murka in the span of a few hours on Christmas Eve, then Obama can snatch every weapon over the next few weeks.”
I was kind of thinking, “Hey, Santa’s done by Christmas morning, all over the world. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument that, taking time zones into consideration, that’s the morning of the 26th here in the US. That gives us 24 days, between Dec. 26, 2016, and Jan. 20, 2017 (I took out Jan. 20, because Obama would kind of be expected at the actual Inaugural ceremony). What if Obama sub-contracts with Santa, who’s got hundreds of years of experience quickly moving all over the globe in 1-2 nights? Just doing the US, in 24 days, should be a piece of cake by comparison.”
what do you guys think about this plan? granted, going back up a chimney with a full, rather than an empty sack, presents some issues, but I believe they can be worked around. Also, Santa’s real big on Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men and all that, so I feel this would be a job right in his wheelhouse.

9I don’t know. On a larger scale we need something more like the plot of Superman IV. Trump of course as Lex Luther.
what a f*$)(^& lying jackass for a governor
10They’ve been screaming for eight years that OBAMA IS COMIN’ FER YER GUNS!!!! Time’s running out to beat that dead horse for money, so they have to up their efforts. Anything to get warm bodies into the gun stores for their lords and masters, the gun industry. Ever’body what’s got a couple dozen guns, run git more! Right quick!
They must be disappointed that Clinton “lost”, because they can’t scream the same thing for another four years.
11epo, just for the record, a tree fell on me. I got 60 stitches and a permanently dented skull, and I have no interest in playing with guns, but it doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I don’t think so, anyway; when I got home from the ER, I could still do the WashPost Sunday crossword.
12Rhea: I don’t like to talk about the Abbott tree incident myself. I think he was this stupid before that happened. And the tree branch didn’t hit his head, so yeah, I’m probably right.
13JAKvirginia, in Abbott’s case I think the tree branch can be mentioned, even as Truly Texan did, because Abbott got a pile of insurance money afterwards but then pushed (and got passed?) a law preventing other injured people from collecting a similar pile. So it’s like outing a gay politician, who should be allowed to keep his private life private until he starts using his position to make life hell for other gay people; then he’s fair game.
14@ cpinva:
15My theory is that President Obama will dust off the time machine he invented during his twenties so he could go back and plant that birth certificate and those birth announcements in Hawaii in 1961. He can just keep resetting it and voila! No rush, no bother, he’s got all the time in the world to grab all them guns, dontcha know.
All they’ve got is fear. Nothing positive, nothing good, just FEAR.
16Rhea dared to be different. I noticed onion had particular parts of trees appled with vigor to some somewhat lower extremities, as a youngster, which caused an definite rise in IQ and pain threshholds if the skin was cold enough and the switch was thin enough.
I have guns but I have no desire to hump them in public (or private) and see no need to advertise their prescence since I don’t have a hunting license.
17Ironically, for the first time in my life, I’m considering getting a gun.
I’ve never before felt that I might need one. But I’ve never before been faced with the prospect of a President that I fear.
All the whacko gun nuts’ fears have been proved irrational, with no basis in reality. I hope that my own fears will prove to be the same.
18@Lunargent: I’m sorry to say I must agree with you, especially in light of the bullying of defenseless women in hijabs, and the rantings of the unhinged on airplanes, subways, etc. (Not to mention the idiot at the Comet Pizza place. SMH)
Teddy Roosevelt comes into mind:
“Wear a safety pin and carry a weapon”
19I have a .38 special revolver. I have 2 locks on it, trigger and cylinder. I haven’t fired it in 10 years. Should probably give it a good cleaning. I don’t have a Minnesota permit for it because I’ve never carried it anywhere in this state. As lunargent said, I’m suddenly thinking I might need it.
