Would just like to thank our glorious leader for fleeing texas during a hurricane.

he announced on the 5th that he was leaving that same day for Korea And Japan.    Note this is after a hurricane was projected to hit somewhere along the texas coast

 

Proud to announce Texas' next economic development mission takes us to Taiwan, South Korea, & Japan.I look forward to meeting with business & government leaders in each country to strengthen our economic & cultural partnerships.Together, we’ll forge the future of innovation.

Meanwhile as the eye barrels though his most populous city he posts about how much fun he is having..

 

Spent a very productive afternoon in Seoul. Met with @kita_net and business leaders from across South Korea to discuss economic opportunities in Texas to grow and succeed. I also met with executives from SK Signet to thank them for their investments in Texas.

Thanks for being you, asshat

It’s a shame he’s not around with all the falling trees.

I get that prominent political leaders have to travel out of state/out of country for high stakes meetings on behalf of their economies.  But a lot of us have done business with Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.  Their culture is such that if you are in the head of disaster relief as a massive hurricane barrels down on the most populated part of your state---their culture dictates that they reshuffle agendas to accommodate you. 

I've had business calls with folks there moved around because my child wasn't feeling well, and they were happy to do it.  Pretty sure 2mm without power and under massive flood warnings, this Asian delegation would have gladly said, "We can do it later in the month when the people you lead are safer."  

I mean, at least Ted turned around and came back right away.  Abbott's instagramming a fucking Fodor's update.

Wish Cruz would pull an Abbott and jump under a falling tree.

Because, every once in awhile---they need to be reminded of what it's like to have no Seoul.

I don’t see Abbott caring that much if Houston is suffering. And he will sacrifice the red counties to the S and N of Houston.

Care? If he could get hard, he would be at full mast seeing pictures and video of Houstonians suffering.

Too busy preening for Trump to care about Texas or Texans.  He will still come back and ask for federal disaster assistance money though. 

#14

This isn't even the first time he's done this. During the peak of the "invasion" at the border, when his office was desperately trying to start shit with the feds on a daily basis, he was on a trip to India. Of course that's a tacit admission of either being a gutless coward - running from said invasion - or that the entire thing was manufactured political theater. 

Abbott, Cruz, etc. consistently, openly insult the intelligence of the voters in Texas and are proven right for it, time and time again.

#15

It's surprising to you that abbott doesn't give a shit about Houston? Motherfucker has been actively trying to make the city worse across multiple fronts

True.

The only thing that saves Texans from Texas is the federal government.

Without it, we’d be fucked and probably would have elected new leadership a long time ago.

So is the conundrum of modern governance I guess….

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the federal government had to delay distribution of emergency relief supplies after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas because the White House could not reach state leaders to get the major disaster declaration request needed. https://t.co/fdUF2N2O8z

They will still blame Biden and it will work with a lot of people.

Greg Abbott went to Japan... during a hurricane that knocked out power to 2.7 million Texans... to learn about... how to deal with hurricanes???

 

#32

Hey, I moved to Spain for a year to get learn better Spanish even though it’s my mother’s native language and the first words I learned were in Spanish.  
 

Please tell me there is some footage of him at the East Asian hurricane breakout session.  Won’t make a shit in the 2026 Texas elections, but it’ll provide many of us, a lotta laughs.

No, it’s not.  You just have to know where to look.  On his way to the discussion of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere which rotate, counter-clockwise.  In which direction was Abbott spinning his political wheels?

When you come back hopefully you get learn better Engrish.

#37

Let me learn ya' something, Mr. Engrish.  First of all, I done come back already and it looks like we're all outta Spanish.  

Is there seriously some X-posts counter for how many more posts has made about Trump in the last 24 hours than he's made about Houston/Beryl/CenterPoint?  Seems about 3:1
