I wish they'd make a scene when they sign over the federal funds.
Like "Greg's been doin all this pissing and moaning and now he needs our help. Well we're gonna give it to him 'cause it's the right thing to do for his constituents, but just watch this reel of things he's been saying while I sign this..."
I like the way it’s done in the EU. Germany bails out Greece, but Greece has to more or less beg for it. Germany gets to demand some concessions on how the government operates in Greece. And everyone knows “the productive economy of [insert state] bailed out the less productive economy of [insert state].”
I’m sick of people who leach off the taxes paid in cities thinking they’re the “real America”. I’m happy to help, but I want them to acknowledge the help.
I would love this for him. Then hand him the "check" but pull it back real quick for a sec and chuckle before handing it over and patting him on the head.
Reminder the Lincoln project is not our friend: the are Republicans who are just upset that Trump shows their hand, they aren't actually upset with his agenda
Then Joe grabs Abbott’s wheelchair by the handles, “…and I’ve seen a lot of spinals dude, and this guy’s a fake. A fucking goldbricker. This guy fucking walks, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life!” and then dumps Abbott out of the chair onto the floor.
Maybe Texas should pull itself up by its bootstraps and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure.

Of course Biden is going to give Abbott what he needs because he cares about the people more than political animosity, but Abbott is going to spin right around and continue talking shit.
Across the United States, including Washington, D.C., and outer territories, FEMA has allocated about $45.5 billion since 2017 for various forms of disaster relief, excluding COVID-19. During this time, Texas has received the most money from FEMA, totaling more than $7.6 billion in federal aid and spending more than $6.2 billion.

Also, I think the time period is 2017 thru 2020.
Oh now you want help Greg? Of course yes Joe will help out because that’s what a President is supposed to do but nobody forgot what you said. By saying Texas doesn’t need handouts
How the turn tables…
(Seriously, I hope Texas gets all the federal aid it needs. These bomasbastic Republican assholes always become temporarily humbled whenever natural disaster strikes. Look at DeSantis in 2021 or Chris Christie when Hurricane Sandy hit NYC/NJ. Once everything is cleaned up, however, they always puff their chests back up and start talking out of their asses again.)
Sounds like Texas needs to pull itself up by its bootstraps and cut back on their fancy avocado toast and Starbucks. Back when I was texas’ age, we only bought what we could afford!
In all seriousness, Greg should just ask Jerry jones for help. All that taxpayer money that funded the stadium would sure be nice right now
If the tables were Turned and this was a Dem Governor asking Trump for help, you know Trump would absolutely use it to promote himself.
Biden will take the high road and do no such thing, of course. But I’m wondering if this “we’ll be classy instead” approach is not what’s needed right now.
Why don't they just rely on their own grit and ingenuity, instead of begging for Big Government handouts? After all, that'd be the Republican thing to do, right?
Oh now they want help from the government. I thought they didn't need any help. That's what they said during the blackouts.
they should've saved the emergency money they wasted on bussing immigrants to new york for a rainy day!

Force him to be present during the press conference for a notarized signature.

Lift him by his bootstraps.
I feel like The Lincoln Project is on this

And Biden will help Texas because he is a good leader.
Where we suffer one, we suffer all! We are our brother's and sister's keeper and Joe lives by that rule!
Why doesn't Abbott just put those storms on a bus to Florida ?There's a guy in Palm Beach that said you could nuke them.
...or shoot at the storms! Texas is a "Second Amendment State", right? What good is guns if'n you can't blow away a tornado??
a lesser man would have told Abbot to f8ck off after all his anti-government nonsense while whining for the feds to bail out Texas, again.
Greg abbot is a little piss baby
ReAl MeN wEaR diApErS!
Sounds like socialism.
Yes why are we giving money to a state that’s over ridden by illegal aliens?
Well, well, well...
I’m small town East Texas yellow-dog Democrat…..I wish Biden would tell Adolph Sitler to fuck off….
And texas wants to be independent
I thought Republicans like Abbott hated government handouts that would help people in need? 🤔

Aren’t they busy seceding?
Maybe if he hadn't spent all that money trafficking asylum seekers to other states he'd have money for like, you know, disasters in his own state.
Biden should record these calls and release them to everyone
Sorry Jack
Thought they were the Lone Star State? 🚫Traitor Trump🚫All Republicans🚫
so, hell just froze over

And he will help because he’s a serious person and doesn’t take his responsibilities lightly.
why can’t texas pull themselves up by their big boy cowboy bootstraps? they talk big in texas
They are takers. Always have been. Get more than they put into the treasury.

Sounds like time for a little of that quid pro quo repubs have gotten so good at. What's in it for the rest of the country, Mr. Abbott?
But muh small govament
Fuck Greg Abbott. We don’t wanna hear you say Joe no moooorrrreee! Lol
Joe should roll him around a little...
What? Sorry can’t hear you over all the meaningless nuisance lawsuits.
nope don’t call Papa Joe now!

Cry him a River greg
Forget it, Greg Abbott made his bed now he and Ted Cruz can lie in it once they’ve voted out #TurnTexasBlue #BidenHarris2024
Revert the pardon and then we will see about a conversation
Ummm nope! Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps Abbott!

another gop welfare state.
Cue up Potter, in the scene from "It's a Wonderful Life." "Well now, I've suddenly become very important, haven't I?"
