    It’s Greg Abbott. He’s crooked AF.

    Wanna hear a fun story?

    He’s in that wheelchair because a neighbor’s tree had a limb fall on him in '89. He sued and has gotten over 8.9 million dollars out of the deal. After he gained a position in the Texas government, he passed tort reform laws in Texas that capped everyone else’s max payout to 250,000. He’s the definition of a “Fuck you, I got mine.” Republican.

    He’s my governor. But I sure as hell haven’t voted for him.

    I hope his caretaker forgets to lock his wheels and he rolls off a stage, down the street, and into a fire caused by CenterPoint’s lack of vegetative maintenance.

      It’s funny. I’ve always heard getting struck by lightning as being described as an act of god. Which really just makes me wonder… would the Secret Service or FBI notice that giant tesla coil left randomly on stage?

        Look, if you want lightning I’ve got a model rocket, a guide wire, and a weather tracker.

        Just tell me where you want your act of god and I’ll get it all squared away.
