  performative theater.
context: What about the $1B he wasted to help the Trump administration fundamentally paint border fence?  What a loser >
  
  Not one penny more.  Not one.  You've proven that you are a despicable human being.  One that cares nothing for those who are suffering.  You don't deserve to be Governor of Texas.  You don't deserve to be a resident of Texas.  You don't deserve to be a citizen of this country. >
  
  In April, Abbott began chartering busses to drop migrants off in other parts of the country, like Washington, DC, and Chicago, without giving those cities any notice — a program that Texas has spent millions of dollars on.
  Texas had spent $12 million on the efforts as of August, the Texas Tribune reported at the time. By November, the amount spent busing migrants out of state had risen to $20 million, according to local outlet WFAA. >
  
  They are incompetent and throwing more money under their control just means that his buddies will get richer and still blame Biden >
  
  Maybe they should use some of the State of Texas’ $8.7B rainy day fund? Maybe the money they’re begging for should go to fixing the grid, like they were supposed to do ten years ago? Maybe they should spend their ESF on addressing Texas’ Maternal Mortality Rate, which happens to be the worst in the fucking country. 
  Fuck Texas. >
  
  What a rolling pile of shit >

  Texas, proudly earning it's one star year after year. 
  Texas should just make it illegal to hire undocumented people and enforce it like an abortion ban, problem solved. 
  Oh wait, Texans hate Mexicans but love exploiting their labor, I forgot. >
  
  Biden just needs to say it would be fiscally irresponsible to give Abbott more money after wasting so much shipping migrants to other states "for the lolz". Repubs love when you bring up fiscal responsibility, remember? >
  
  If he’s got money for political stunts he doesn’t need more federal money. He can ask his own legislature to increase taxes if he misspent and has run out of money. >
  
  So he went from owning the libs to begging the libs... >
  
  Hey, it's Texas' border! It's a state problem.
  Asking for Federal money is just plain old socialism. >
  
  How else is he gonna send busses of migrants to  Pelosi?
  Bus drivers need income too >
  
  Socialism works but only for Texas? >
  
  sounds like that's his problem. >
  
  It seems crazy that he has spent millions on that. Seems like an audit should be in order >
  
  Maybe worry about your state's wacky power grid first. >
  
  Bussing people all over the country isn’t cheap. Neither is not maintaining your grid so it requires costly repairs when it fails. 
  You’re on your own Mr Lone Star. >
  
  I live on the Border.   Safe. Clean. Low Crime.  “Wheels” as we affectionately call him around here is just a troglodyte. >
  
  Spend some of that oil money on it >
  
  The thing is, enough people in Texas are single issue voters and/or too full of the Flavor-Aid to vote against him. That, and (while I applaud the moment of emotional honesty) Beto shot himself in the foot by saying he would advocate for disarming people. It's becoming easier to talk about, as seen by crowds in Texas applauding him; but we still aren't there yet >
  
  The hypocracy... >
  
  And don't forget what it cost to totally wipe out rape in Texas. I'm sure that was expensive >
  
  Damn, guess that means you'll have to raise state taxes. >
  
  Better luck next time, giant tree branch. >
  
  Maybe Texas should have an income tax and use those funds. >
  
  He will spend any amount of taxpayer money for campaign stunts as will most other GOP elected officials.  The GOP will not spend any making the people's lives better. Vote in 2023 in all local and state elections. Every election matters from the school board to the white house. Vote every time you can. >
  
  Those bus fares really add up! >
  
  What an utter arsehole he is. >
  
  How about no >
  
  One of the many reasons my wife and I are actively looking for a place outside this festering shithole.
  Reminder that Abbott, our shock-jock-turned-lieutenant governor Dan Patrick, and criminally indicted attorney general Ken Paxton all won re-election by double digits. >
  
  Honestly, I thought Texans were not a fan of big government stepping in.  Let Texas pay for whatever they want to do.  As someone who lived in Texas for 15 years I totally understand how much the Republican party lie to their people and how much they want to remain independent from the federal government.  So screw them.
