Texas asks for federal help

No it was correct the first time it is the federal government's job for the government to answer Texas’s call for help. to do this.

FIFY again. When somebody helps you, the polite response is “thank you.”
 
Us helping ourselves is not something I need to be thanked for. Giving back a little bit of the money that they stole from us is their job Thanks to the Federal Government for giving us the help when we needed it. Being a part of a collective is objectively better than some fantasy of individualism that has never existed outside of people’s imaginations.

FIFY again.
 
Biden cut back on supplying Florida -Texas doesnt stand a chance of getting that (MAB) help from the feds
after Biden is POTUS for a YEAR -there was never a ramp up of testing either
Why ramp up testing for a mere cold, nothing more serious than the sniffles?

Why should anybody thank the government for returning the wealth they stole?
 
Can someone truthfully explain the run on getting tested right now?

A lot of people are traveling, and visiting with family, including elderly family members.

On top of that, some employers are starting to enforce the vax/test mandate.

It's not complicated.

You must be a hoot when anybody helps you.

Stranger: “Hey man, looks like you’ve got a flat there, let me give you a hand.”
Clax: “Goddamn right you will. And you’re not ‘giving me a hand,’ you’re doing what you owe me.”
 
What has he done to deny access to testing and vaccinations and personal protection? As far as I know he just forbade mandates of it and that's a good thing.

I’m trying to respond while watching the last of the Alabama game and getting ready for the Georgia game.

I’ll be brief but we can discuss more if you like tomorrow.

DeSantis is another elected official who talks small government and independence while enforcing his big government desires.

He signed directives preventing school districts from mandated masks. He threatened legislative action to prevent state universities from mandating masks. He defended invitation only vaccination sites in wealthy communities who were strong supporters of DeSantis while areas with higher population density but easily less white, less supportive and relatively poorer had no sites. He prevented researchers from the University of Florida from making Covid data public and ordered the data destroyed. On and on.

So he banned mandates by governmental bodies. That's good. If you want to wear a costume and take a non vaccine you can he didn't prevent that.

If somebody returns what they stole from me I don't consider that help.

This only applies if the stranger slashed my tire.

The only money government has is what they stole from the people.
 
Izzat the second time for 2021 or the third? So self reliant those Texans are.
Just because the cripple Abbott requests funds for Covid doesn't mean the money ends up helping with Covid.

And the way you would see it is that he did slash your tire.

Analogies really aren't your thing, are they?
 
So every disabled person is bad because government Abbott is disabled?

If he was black would you call him the N word?
Where did she say that?

And you really need to start proofing your posts.

It's about abortion for me. The cripple should have thought about that BEFORE he pissed me off
 
Yeah every penny the federal government has it took away from someone else.

That is the apt way to see it.
It’s the way for you to see any help you get. It allows you maintain the myth of the “rugged individualist.”

I don't care for Abbott either but you don't need to toss around epithets like that
