As Democrats noted in their court filings, Abbott is also fundraising off his official actions — which, they say, is plainly not “bribery” because there’s no quid pro quo. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

So this guy sees nothing wrong with his Lt. Governor getting $3m and Republican state senators each receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in their campaign war chests for ensuring the Texas AG isn’t impeached. Right. The rank hypocrisy will not age well.

These people are nothing but grifters. Politics ceased to be about serving and became a cut throat business where anything goes with the election of Bush 1 in 1988.
There are fewer than 100 of the over 500 serving in DC that deserve to keep their jobs. Yet people won't fire them.

What presidents should spend their time golfing while citizens are struggling to make ends meet?
None, that’s who!
Please now send me money.
-
Rush it in! 🙄
-
I believe breaking quorum is perfectly legal in Texas. What gives Abbott the right to fire duly elected representatives?
-
Abbott is a disgusting traitor 🖕🗑️
-
This is the only ‘rush’ that needs to taken…
-
The Texas' economy's income inequality has grown, with a significant gap between the richest and poorest households. Only 4 1/2 weeks ago we watched in horror after the drownings of children and others. Now the yes men for 47 wants to silence and steal Texans' voices?
-
Having a hard time understanding how this is any different than congress dismissing early so they don't have to face the Epstein mess that they created
-
Fuck Off with that bullshit. Good luck with your ramps pops 🖕🏻
-
🙄
-
If only what happens in the real world mattered……if Abbott were hiring, would he hire a convicted felon……that is how hypocritical Abbott and all MAGA are……
-
YUP…….
-
Any idea why these democrats aren't demanding arrest warrants against Abbott?
-
Has anyone asked him what happens when your entire political party abandons their oath to the constitution and constituents to cover up the largest child sex trafficking ring in history?
The only appropriate punishment for the Guardians of Pedophiles is to be hung upside down from their testicles.
-
It's neverending down here. When I moved to Texas in 2003 we had Rick Perry. Now we have this fraudster.
-
Texas trumplicans have been eating excrement for years and believing folks who told them it was chili. Abbott is a worthless scoundrel
-
Abbott who went to an NRA rally after 19 school children were mowed down, you mean that dereliction of duty? You mean when the Dems came to help when the cold snap happened and Cancun Cruz left? Or the floods where children were washed away and you said basically oh well is that what he means?
-
Texans need to make sure they vote this sorry ass weasel out of office!
-
How does sending Greg Abbott money enable him to hold Democrats accountable?
Why does he need money to do that?
-
Ask unqualified Abbott why the republicans can leave DC to keep from having to vote on the Epstein file release, and he doesn't get pissed about that. He's the typical GOP fucking hypocrite.
-
Bribe
-
I support you DOING YOIR JOB by REFUSING TO PARTICIPATE in GOP ELECTION THIEVERY ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
-
I have never had the cops come after me when I left my job.
-
Abbott is so corrupt the corrosion is seeping into then entire country
-
hypocritical, dishonest
-
“Rush in” - is that like a code?? 🙀
-
"Every seat they don't deserve to hold" is wild. What does he mean by this statement? Republicans think and act as if they are the only ones who should legitimately lead. Abbott and his fellow lawless people deserve their positions but the Democrats don't?
-
Can this motherfucker swim? (Asking for a friend)
-
The Texas Dems are doing their job.
-
So weird, because I don't think he deserves to hold his seat.
How do I go about taking it back?
There must be a way if he thinks he can unseat elected officials.
-
These pricks will grift off anything at any time for any reason
-
Isn’t it though? Plainly bribery? All to push their re-districting (disenfranchising) agenda?
-
Hey Texas citizens-for the sake of your state and the citizens of the US, can you please send Abbott and Paxton to unemployment?
-
These damn Republicans are the most corrupt that i have ever seen in my lifetime, and I'm in my 70s. All for damn power and money.
-
Rush in = Russian?
-
It is legal to own people completely, but not to bribe them per item specifically!!! Which is convenient if you’re wealthy.
-
It’s important for the governor to remember that the Representatives who left the state were not hired by him, but by the constituents whose voices he is trying to silence. If they are to face any consequences, let it be judged by the People who elected them, not one arrogant, posturing pipsqueak!
-
I sent Abbott a box of my shit, but I haven’t received a thank you note yet. What an ungrateful, bitter, fucking crippled asshole
-
I dunno, it sounds to me like the Texas Dems are on strike.
-
He’s such an ass. I’m sure he’s aware of the NLRA which makes it illegal to fire someone if they’re participating in a protected strike. So his dumbass argument needs to be called out by a reporter. And when did anyone get arrested for not going to work? If that’s where we are, we are truly F’d
-
Abbott is another republican hypocrite
-
Hilarious.
-
House Democrats have the right to protest or strike on job if they feel the government or company is corrupt and treats them unfairly.
-
Fools rush in, as they say.
