He’s not bringing “billions” to TX. This fuck only looks out for himself. I hope another tree falls on him.

Another?

A tree fell on him, leaving him paralyzed. He sued & got a payout amount granted by the lawsuit settlement, totaling $8.9 million. He then championed legislation that limits lawsuits awards so a payout can’t exceed like $250,000, or so. I may be wrong on that figure but pretty much he said fuck you I got mine. He’s a piece of shit.

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?

Brought the labber up with himself, got it.

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