The head of reopen Texas council will fucking did the state into oblivion potentially making him and the taxpayer the richest fucking people on the planet. Abbot doesn't want to fuck this up.
Its not only the laws its the people who jump on social media and "shame"/fuck with anyone who has a different view of the situation. Social media is equally as responsible for the pandemonium as the orders.
Asshole posting pictures of his Tesla during the shutdown. "Hey Elon Musk help us with some ventilators!" Corny as hell. He needs that Tesla tho to chase all those ambulances. Dude is literally a personal injury lawyer.
It’s been giving me such a freedom boner watching it.
Not just Abbott, but a couple times the County Commissioners have rolled back some of Jenkins mandates and authoritarianism.
ie: Extending the SAH until May 30 when it was Apr 3? What?! Requiring (punishable by a fine up to $1,000 or 180 days in jail) for not wearing a mask?
Jenkins has gotta go in 2022!!!
So our governor has stated that his order supersedes local orders. So the ENTIRE STATE will open May 1st, including restaurants, theaters and retail shops and malls. FU to the liberal pearl clutching city mayors.
Do people realize that if the whole state opens, they have the freedom to continue to hide in their toilet paper bunker as long as they want to wait for a vaccine? No one will force them to go to a movie or a restaurant?
They have such FOMO they don’t want anyone else to have the freedom to go out while they are too scared to leave the house for a virus with a very high recovery rate.
I was hoping our state would be one of the first to start de-cucking the rest of the country. The others will start falling like dominoes, just watch. The virus will still circulate around the population but nothing horrible is going to happen. There's too much data out now that's showing it to have roughly a .02% mortality rate with the average population. Keep it removed from nursing homes and high-risk people and we'll be OK.
Do they not realize EVERYONE was still going to the grocery store? How do I know, because I went for my family and my sister's family as I'm the youngest and healthiest. The grocery store was as packed as a Sunday afternoon EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It made me realize how dumb this all was, because instead of people being evenly dispersed, everyone was going to one single location.
This has been my exact argument and point when advocating for all businesses to be open including restaurants. If you can allow people to go to any grocery store and walk all over the place but can’t figure out how to have people seated at a restaurant then somethings fucked. Use common sense people.
They will probably continue acting that way until November. Every death by corona they are gonna demand closures.
Even if it's like 12 people, they are gonna go apeshit until after the election, at which point they will still be apeshit but now about impeachment over Corona Virus handling lmao
Moved back to Texas from CA to escape tyranny...landed in Jenkins’ district. Felt like I never left CA.
Homeless pop growing, no enforcement of burglary under $750, release of prisoners cause of corona, overreaching power and control, etc etc. judge has gotta go!
It won't stay at 25% for long. We just have to prove to these fuck sticks that it's okay to go outside. Infection rates will go up some again, this 25% will keep it at a point where it's not enough to scare people again - though you damn well know the media will try their hardest to pedal the fear.
shit man, tomorrow 4/28 is supposed to be close to 95-98. summer is already here.
Why I love West Texas, we got dry, hot summers, you basically have to try and get sick out here. Here's hoping I can convince my bf to move out here instead of staying in Houston but worst comes to worst I've got enough saved up to at least last a week down there.
I am happy that it's officially opening up, although most of this is no different than it was. We have always been able to order things online or on the phone and pick them up at the curb or have them shipped.
Anyway, I won't be able to go anywhere until stage 4 is well underway, but I am happy for our state's economy.
Agree. I wasn't sure where he was going with his criticism of the Georgia gov, but Trump does need the states to take control of themselves and start moving the country forward and what better place to start than Texas!
Good! Good fucking crepes. Just because some people are scared to go outside doesn’t mean the whole country has to shut down. Stay in doors if you are scared.
Though I did like the shit post I saw else where that we should ban driving for 14 days to stop car accidents haha
No joke. People off reeeee/Austin were posting pictures of people not giving a fuck about the distancing, others were commenting about “how well never get out alive” while 100% ignoring the hospitalizations and deaths being next to nothing.
Funny how they forget about the giant HEB's, the Costco's and other large stores that are always packed. I was running around Williamson County today and there was definitely a larger volume of vehicle traffic on the road and more people out and about. Most Texans, except for the Karens, are done with this.
I had some pathetic piece of shit in a bandana mask look at me and cough at me on the trail this weekend. I swear it was like a 3 year old in a grown ups body. I wish she would have fallen off the bike in full tantrum. No one but this loser had a mask on.
I've been going to HEB's in two different cities and they aren't mandating them. I see employees not wearing them and quite a few guys who look like me who won't wear them.
Good. My town is doing the same and some businesses have already opened up. The barber shops parking lots were PACKED Saturday when they were allowed to open.
Meanwhile in Commifornia we've got another month! This waiting for nothing is right up there with waiting for 2A cases to snail through our courts only to end up in limbo for eternity or get shot down by the 9th circus.
Good. These "orders" are just made up "law" and unconstitutional anyway. Businesses should open when they want to reopen, without permission.
Agree! It's like we are cheering for the least of 50 evils here.
Agreed

This is true.

I will say the twitter crowd, including mysel, have been exposing all of Clay Jenkins’ garbage
I love how Abbot keeps shutting down Jenkins at every step.

Chinese trolls on reddit.
That’s reddit

They don't realize that if we don't get out now and start building herd immunity, we're gonna be in the same exact boat when November rolls around.
If we want to have any hope of coexisting with this virus, people are going to HAVE to be exposed to it eventually.
Exactly. Plus those locations reduced their hours so instead of spreading out all day and night, everyone crams in for twelve hours instead of 24.
They will probably continue acting that way until November. Every death by corona they are gonna demand closures.
Even if it's like 12 people, they are gonna go apeshit until after the election, at which point they will still be apeshit but now about impeachment over Corona Virus handling lmao
Crackheads and debutantes, my friend.
Crackheads and debutantes.
Reddit is such a shit show. Glad I deleted everything and left.
Yea! Show the rest of the damn country we don’t have to destroy ourselves over a virus that Sweden is handling fine without lockdowns.
It'll have that exact effect.
GOD BLESS TEXAS, AND ALL THE FOLKS THAT INHABIT IT. SETTING THE STANDARD
CANT WAIT TO MOVE TO TEXAS AND LEAVE THIS NY SHITHOLE !!!! VOTE RED RED RED
We need people like you to null every blue vote cast by these illegals that are professionally squired into our fine state.
I’m like a sopranos New Yorker but die hard republican !!!
Same here me leaving Chicago for Texas has been in the works for awhile.
That's why I moved here. Love Texas and I brought 3 other MAGA voters with me!
Dear Judge... welfare with whose cash? If nobody works, who pays for the welfare.

25 percent for two weeks, then bam! I think it goes to 100 percent.
Or even before. I know restaurant owners down in Tennessee who are pretty clear they plan to not enforce the 50 percent capacity bullshit for long.
I would think it's for the customers. Get them comfortable first, then when they see people relaxing and not worrying about it, let it go.
25 percent then 50 after two weeks.
You can bet the media will be working overtime to hype against us then next two weeks.
It won't stay at 25% for long. We just have to prove to these fuck sticks that it's okay to go outside. Infection rates will go up some again, this 25% will keep it at a point where it's not enough to scare people again - though you damn well know the media will try their hardest to pedal the fear.
I can't wait to go out and support local businesses!
I am making plans for Friday, 3 stores then a long lunch at a restaurant. Don't mess with Texas.
The big struggle over here is deciding which restaurant to go to. I've missed so many!
I want to go to Pappadeaux in Fort Worth and have a big lobster!
How will Texas stop Blue State people from visiting & bringing the virus all over again?
As long as they don't go full retard like Cuomo and send COVID infected into nursing homes. (with body bags)
And we're clearly into warmer, sunnier weather, which the virus hates.
shit man, tomorrow 4/28 is supposed to be close to 95-98. summer is already here.
Why I love West Texas, we got dry, hot summers, you basically have to try and get sick out here. Here's hoping I can convince my bf to move out here instead of staying in Houston but worst comes to worst I've got enough saved up to at least last a week down there.
Yes. A/C goung. Very hot.
The heat will stop them and the virus.
HELLYA
I hope every single person sues. Rights aren't there just to be taken away whenever the government feels like it.
Texan here. Very happy about this. But there are lots of triggered Karen's upset about it. Lol
I am happy that it's officially opening up, although most of this is no different than it was. We have always been able to order things online or on the phone and pick them up at the curb or have them shipped.
Anyway, I won't be able to go anywhere until stage 4 is well underway, but I am happy for our state's economy.
Abbott said in the press conference today that the orders to allow businesses open supercede local authorities. I'm sure Dallas will scream and whine.
Scream, whine then comply.
He started retweeting articles promoting a pending clash if Abbott didn’t meet HIS standards to open (as in never opening)
It is fucking ON - It's going to be a rat race to the first Mexican restaurant with a patio before summer makes it too shitty to sit outside.
LOL. All I wanna do is go back to my local mediocre Mexican restaurant.
At this point, even mediocre enchiladas El Paso style would be like mana from heaven
Texas: one of the last free states in the nation.
LET’S DO THIS TEXAS! Let’s help to lead the country back to prosperity and freedom! Never more relevant than ever..MAGA!!!
I believe Trump is depending on Texas to lead the way. And we will.
Agree. I wasn't sure where he was going with his criticism of the Georgia gov, but Trump does need the states to take control of themselves and start moving the country forward and what better place to start than Texas!
Democrats want to be on lockdown until November. Open up the economy!
Let them huddle in their houses. They don't work anyway.
Good! Good fucking crepes. Just because some people are scared to go outside doesn’t mean the whole country has to shut down. Stay in doors if you are scared.
Though I did like the shit post I saw else where that we should ban driving for 14 days to stop car accidents haha
We still have lots of car accidents in the DFW area.
the "stay home" order absolutely wasnt followed anyhow.
No joke. People off reeeee/Austin were posting pictures of people not giving a fuck about the distancing, others were commenting about “how well never get out alive” while 100% ignoring the hospitalizations and deaths being next to nothing.

As I commented above, I sincerely hope they'll all stay home and make getting hired even easier.
When I get back to the office Im going to laugh at the people who followed it.
Abbott says that masks are still recommended but the local govt can't fine you for not wearing one. Only good thing to come out of this imho.
I've been going to HEB's in two different cities and they aren't mandating them. I see employees not wearing them and quite a few guys who look like me who won't wear them.
There's nowhere to buy them anyway. More scarce than tp at Walmart!
Don't wear the masks. If enough people do not comply, the store policy will be fucked.
My school and my job are both closed until at least May 18th, for virtually no reason other than "YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DIE".
I'm flying my flag upside-down.
Good. My town is doing the same and some businesses have already opened up. The barber shops parking lots were PACKED Saturday when they were allowed to open.
Can he also be the governor of Ohio, too?
Good, I'm about ready for the damn bar to be open again.
Texas of all places NEVER should have done this. Greg Abbott better hope he doesn't have a strong opponent...he will lose in a landslide.
so jealous.
So far Idaho is on track for this as well.
And my Republican Governor in the south isn’t doing that...fuck my state!
I'll be headed to my favorite TexMex joint on Friday!
Meanwhile in Commifornia we've got another month! This waiting for nothing is right up there with waiting for 2A cases to snail through our courts only to end up in limbo for eternity or get shot down by the 9th circus.
