Someone tell the mayors of NY and DC to stop whining. [View all]

Yes, abbott is an ass and a piece of human waste.

But nothing helps him with his base in Texas like having the mayors of Democratic cities whine about his tactics. First the whining doesn't fix the problem. Second, it only makes the Neanderthals of Texas laugh and slap abbott on the back and give him more money.

They could have turned this around on him. Suppose they said:

"We would like to thank abbott for spending Texas money to send these poor people where they can get some decent care. We understand that you don't feel like you are up to the task, and applaud you for admitting your incompetence. We will give these people the care that you can't, the care that America can deliver when racism and bigotry aren't your principal values. We just wish that you had consulted and worked with us to be ready for these people. We know that foresight and planning aren't things you can handle (I mean look at your electrical grid), but we will use our acumen to deal with the problem. (Oh, and thank you for the jobs that our people will be filling to do this. We would have thought that Texas would have liked to have those jobs.""

Then from Biden: "Since Texas has admitted their inability to handle their duties as Americans for the asylum seekers, we will be diverting money from Texas to New York and Chicago and Washington DC to deal with this. Texas tax payers seem to want to foot the bill for busing rather than receiving Federal Funds to use in Texas.)
