Political strategist and Texan, Matthew Dowd, is angered by the blatant disregard by his state’s leaders to the rise of Covid cases, and is concerned what the surge means for already crowded Texas ICUs.

#Texas #Covid19 #Vaccines
Unfortunately he’s killing their very own No Mask Supporters! If you don’t believe in Covid or Masking up, then Why do You need medical help when You catch Covid?
You want to stop treating obese ppl? They knew/know comorbidity aids in death and hospitalizations from the virus. Same concept.
I said the same thing.
@crazy wheel to the max I was fully vaccinated and I have Covid now. And I was masked up. I got it from my daughter who also was vaccinated. So what are vaccinated people supposed to do now?
@meeka shantel do you want to deny fat ppl as well? They knew the risks as well.
@Boro Sweden took other options. Lockdown should be a last resort. Only to be used when the population proves to be a danger to themselves and others. People there masked up, took it seriously and took measures of prevention (like social distancing). Far as I read, anyway.
No Republicans voted for the relief bill or the child tax credit bill. But they took the money and the credit!
@YouTube Censorship Sux I appreciate your opinion and I’m trying to find out if enough people agree with what I think must be done to lower the national debt. Thanks for the opinion
The republican politicians, starting with Trump, want their supporters to be killed by Covid-19, being in jail by encourage them to attack the capitol and/or robbed from their savings through found raising scams. I will not want to vote for this kind political leaders.
So you deserve extra money because you couldn’t keep it in your pants? If you can’t afford to take care of yourself, please don’t multiply.
@blanca betancourt
No they don’t
@Gerry Swaim
Yeah man, you too
I guess more American blood must be consumed to satiate Republican thirst.
@nosuchthing8 Those Darwin is removing don’t believe in Darwin.
@Peter B There should be more patients who give their permission for their suffering to be shown on TV and it should be run for an hour straight every day on all channels at various times of day, but I wonder how many of the anti-vaxxers would be terrified and how many would smugly comment, “That’s their problem. I’m healthy and strong and I haven’t gotten sick yet, so there! Nyah!” what I call the Lucy van Pelt mentality. Lucy is six years old, you’ll recall. Peter B: The rest of the country can’t thank you enough. Send our thanks to all your colleagues too. It would violate your oath, but I am getting to the point where I wish you could just turn the unvaccinated sick around at the door and let them sit untreated in the parking lot if they choose.
“More American blood” OMG lol the sensationalism with your girls is 🤪

@blanca betancourt
No they don’t
Abbott is thinking that he’s glad God created the middle finger.
yeah cos he is sitting on it…
@melanie The only part of him that still functions.
Far right: Me, myself and I. One miserable, arrogant, narcissistic group.
Paradoxically, Joe Biden shows a lot of humility… and the same cannot be said for the former president Donald Trump who is the number one narcissistic character in the United States and maybe in the entire world
We gotta vote Greg ABBOT and lieutenant gov Dan Patrick out!
@Luis Ortiz There’s such a thing is this world as the middle ground.
And can we get rid of Ken Paxton while we’re at it??? Geez…..that guy🤦♀️
@Emsley Wyatt not in the Republicans vocabulary. Republican’s only know me me me gimmie your money.

@The Blade your right
I’ve grown up in a Republican town and “I” has ALWAYS mattered to Republicans. “We” doesn’t exist unless they’re misquoting things like “We the People” to further their support of “I.”
global warming or cooling?
Slight twist on the original;
If the “I” offends thee, then vote it out .
How droll. Nice job.
At this point the Republicans should just replace the elephant as the symbol of their party with the COVID ball.
Or a vulture.
or an ostrich, with its’ head buried in the sand.
The hospitals should go on strike. Send all CoVid patients to those governors homes.
As a Texan and a Greg, I am ashamed to have Greg Abbott as our governor. He is an incompetent clown.
@T Eckhardt Being a proud Texan doesn’t mean you support the elected politicians. Where do you reside?

@T Eckhardt Everyone isn’t strong enough. Good thing you know your limitations….
@T Eckhardt Because we were born here. Why any ignorant fool would say anything as stupid as you just said is “beyond me”. Judging some by where they live no matter what moron they have for Governor is childish and silly. Please stay where you are by all means…
@Den Dens corner V Correct. You are free to act like a fool here. And believe me, a lot of the population do. Many of them are going to pay with their lives. But that is their right… Let them be free….
Why hasn’t Gov. Greg Abbott been charged with culpable homicide: “…with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offense of culpable homicide.”?
Trump too.
It’s called Depraved Indifference to Human Life, which is a murder charge in many states.
@Miki Lynne THEY will call it free will. I call it suicidal.
GOP killing their own at this point…let’s hope they don’t take us with them.
@Dale Gehrking Gov. Abbott had everything to do with surge in Covid in Texas. It all has to do with last adm
@Dale Gehrking Wow, that was easy. Blame someone else for your incompetence. That is a new one for me.
The republican politicians, starting with Trump, want their supporters to be killed by Covid-19, being in jail by encourage them to attack the capitol and/or robbed from their savings through found raising scams. I will not want to vote for this kind political leaders.
I won’t let them. They are too different from who I am.
@Dale Gehrking Abbott is incompetent as a governor. He has caused Texans more problem than any other. He makes Rick Perry look smart.
Greg Abbott is so irresponsible in his handling of Covid 19. I only hope he is voted out and sent back to wherever he comes from. Very annoying.
He said he’s from Wichita Falls,but I suspect that he was born further north!
I can’t believe we’re right back where we started. Hold republicans responsible November 2022.
Amen

A quote from Don lemon himself lol “they complain it’s my freedom it’s whatever”
@Henry Butchy Uh…but you didnt win. You cheated. Trump won. Sorry. Biden is your punishment.
@Sunset Solutions ehhh, I can have fun with diffident and argumentative. But with delusionally stupid, ain’t no fun. Bye
The Mobster Lobster has killed more Americans in a year, than all Americas enemies since 1870. He makes Bin Laden look like a social worker…

They’re literally willing to die for what they believe in: The right to be stupid and not wear a mask.
And die they will. Stupid and reckless.
*The governors of Florida and Texas should face reckless homicide charges, they’ve got blood on their hands.* 🤦🏻♀️
Trump as well

For a “cripple” it is crazy that he literally is putting other “cripples” on death row with this virus….
This should be illegal to put others in harm’s ways. Especially children
