    I mean I’m picking up what thr author is putting down but it’s not the fuckin titanic and it’s not like hes guna be a first responder. For how little politicians actually spend working I think it’s commendable he’s using his vacation time in such an efficient manner /s

    To be fair, governors shouldn’t travel to disaster zones as the city has to spend resources on them like for protection and it takes away from disaster relief efforts.

      Yeah but tax payers funding his trip to Asia during a crisis isnt good either. He should have stayed in Austin and helped organize the disaster response.

        Most of us would gladly pitch in a few bucks for him to take a trip forever.

      Fun fact “Don’t mess with Texas” is a state anti litter campaign

        Fun fact, when our trash Govt leaves, it is effectively litter removal. Its the one positive they do for the state, going away.

          As of Monday, two people in Harris County died after Beryl caused trees to fall on their homes, authorities said.

          May they haunt Abbott the rest of his days

            Can you haunt someone who doesn’t have a soul?

      Unfortunately he’s shown that he can handle one tree. I suggest doubling it.
