Wait, are you saying that although another Republican governor was caught blatantly lying about the exact same situation that we need to hold off on judgement on a second one doing the same thing?
I’m saying that there’s not much legal ability to prosecute a governor for their official actions they take while in office.
Which is absolutely stupid.
I mean, okay, but calling it stupid doesn’t make prosecuting Greg Abbott a good idea. Personally, I just root for tree branches to finish the job
Wait, so you’re saying “don’t prosecute him, just execute him extrajudiciously by lynching?”
More like crossing my fingers that another tree branch falls on him. I don’t support political violence. I just will nature to do a better job next time.
I live eight miles from the Texas border, it’s dark humor.
Fair. “Tree branches” carries with it certian…connotations… Not to censor you or anything, but personally to convey the same meaning without that possible misunderstanding I’d borrow from the ACME corporation from Looney Tunes fame, as in an anvil, piano, or safe accident. Or just “I straight up hope he has a fatal accident.” Or anything that could be fatal but not read as purposeful, like the ambiguous “tree branch” that could involve either simply gravity, or rope and gravity.
I agree with you, political violence is not good, nature is another matter.
Yeah it’s a very local joke, you’d get it if you lived in the area. He’s paralyzed because a tree branch fell on him. Real proof that being disabled doesn’t preclude someone from being an absolute ghoul
Yeah it’s also a joke in my area of the south…not that I enjoy spending time with the racist people who make that joke in my area, because in all of the south that I’ve been to they didn’t have your hyperlocalized version of it where it isn’t a reference to lynchings.
The internet is bigger than TX, most people won’t get that you mean “a tree branch falling on him” when in more locations it speaks to lynchings (which in this case wouldn’t be racist but would be political violence.)
By all means you do you, but you may want to be aware how that inside joke sounds to outsiders who are only familiar with the more prevalent meaning, especially when you do not denote that the branch fell rather than supported his weight.
