yeaa
Biden isn't a law enforcement official. He's not a DA. He's not a police officer. He doesn't have the ability to have you arrested. I suspect Abbott knows this, but his constituents are too fucking stupid to understand the difference.
Biden is human though, which apparently disqualifies him from the Republican Party

"I'd totally murder people, but that evil federal government would lock me up for murder? Can you believe the audacity?!!! I really want to murder these people, but they won't let me. Total government overreach! Whatever happened to states' rights?"
Stupid Biden... enforcing the... checks notes ...Seventh Commandment.

Just when I think Texas can’t be any more of an embarrassment than it already is a Texas Republican opens their mouth again.
As a Texan, I hope Ken pushes Abbot off a cliff and dives down after.
Isn’t there something in the Bible about not murdering?
Only if they're not Christian, American-born, white, and right-leaning - other than that, the Bible states it's "open season". /s, just in case
Edit: I can't tell my left hand from my right hand. They're hands, please pardon me for my confusion.
Plus darker skin don’t count. Everyone in the Bible is pure white so those with darker skin aren’t saved

They must be working to toss that rule in with the "wearing mixed fabrics in one garment" garbage bin.

As fucked as it is, I hope someone pushes this fuck off his wheelchair.
“Let me tell you something else. I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A fucking goldbricker. This guy fucking walks.”

Over a cliff.
It's not fucked. Abbot is an unapologetic monster and a threat to all Texans. I hope he dies in a slow, horrible fashion. Ken Paxton too.

Uh chaps, are you aware that your country is derailing faster than a train with toxic shit in Ohio?

This guy is unhinged
It's much worse than that - he's accurately assessed what his voters want to hear.

I thought the Bible was the only thing keeping Texans from killing people, but apparently it’s Joe Biden.
From now on this is going to be my response if a Christian asks me what’s preventing my atheist self from doing all the murdering I want.
“That pesky Joe Biden.”
I'd shoot Abbott if I could, but it's immoral, and I'd get charged with murder, so I won't.
Is that how that goes? We can say that as long as we admit we won't do it because of the repercussions? Oh wait, this racist white racist trash is just pissed at the repercussions and not the immorality of the act. Fuck this peg leg piece of shit.
Imagine if mexico started mowing down americans travelling across the border. Or canada shooting americans at the border

So he's saying that Biden cares about the Constitution and assholes like Abbott do not?
Will Christian Conservative Republicans like Abbott ever recognize that killing goes against their Gods Commandments? It seems these bloodthirsty degenerates conveniently overlook it.
They twist the bible into what fits their agenda and ignore everything that doesn't. They are not good people.

These people will literally apply the death penalty for jaywalkers as long as the jaywalker is "them* (i.e. non white l, male, or just someone they slightly disagree with) and then scream online about how theyre protected from censorship by the first amendment.
It's so Christian to want to do that to poor people but to not do it to prevent legal trouble. Like Jesus said once in almost every page of that playbook...speed holes!
WWJS: Who would Jesus shoot

Shit states gonna shit state
Right, because I wasn’t already aware that republicans are worthless shitbags.
What about just shooting nazi's instead of migrants? Are we allowed to do that? What about nazi's in wheelchairs? It's not murder if it's not human, right?
Conservatives don't see normal people as humans, but boy do they hate it when that dehumanization is applied to them.
the Republican governor told former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch on her radio show last week
Both trash people.
Greg Abbott is the only cripple I'd gladly push out of their wheelchair in Phoenix and watch them suffer.
“And we’d be murdering these folks but the radicals in government consider murdering people who have the right to do this to be murder”
And yes people who believe they qualify for refugee status have the legal right to illegally cross borders in an attempt to enter a safe country.
Why morons get leadership positions. A lot to digest
