Abbott in a nutshell: I opened Texas 100%, tossed the mask mandate but it's the immigrants and Bidens fault Texas has so much covid! He's never done his job during covid, he's always deferring to local governments but then does everything he can to undermine them (gee, sounds a lot like Trump). Deferring isn't the right word- he shurks his responsibilities to the locals, then doesn't give them the resources or power to actually enforce them.

He is what we once called a fat cat.
When I was younger pictures and cartoons of politicians usually showed them with big round bellies, a cigar hanging out of their mouth, and so much cash stuffed into their pockets some of it is falling out.
Sounds like this guy, doesn't it?

Bbbear, they all had big white mustaches too. It's funny the things we remember. And yet, sometimes I can't remember why I walked into a room. 🤔

birdgal, I remember there use to be cartoons about Tammany Hall in New York City. I think it use to be a sign of wealth to be fat. You could afford enough food to overeat.

DotRen , Yeah, March 4 was a big nothing. I wonder how long they will keep this up with the new dates of destiny. The whole four years? birdgal , bbbearsmom , I always think of the banker in the old Monopoly games as the stereotype of the old rich white guy. Oooh, almost forgot. The Senate passed the Covid relief bill. Huzzah!

I liked the senate proposal about $300 a week in extra unemployment + a tax benefit. I think that will help a lot of people next year when they file taxes.

The child tax credit will also help a lot of people.

What do we think about Cuomo? He deserves to be kicked to the curb, but cynically thinking, who is going to replace him? If a Republican becomes governor, would he/she (ha that it would be a Republican she) have the power to pardon Trump's legal difficulties in New York? I have heard that is so. In which case, I'm willing to put Cuomo's bad behavior on the backburner for now. I have to pick my more hated person to be punished first. Ugh.
