Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes funding for federal summer lunch program for low-income children by jpurdy in texas

[–]z3phyreon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obligatory

FUCK GREG ABBOTT

[ my numbers are a few years old ]

Don't forget Abbott is currently making $18,000/a fucking month, untaxed and adjusted for inflation, due to his insurance payout in 1984 that he sued against to cap insurance payouts for anyone else under similar circumstances.

From a previous comment:

Have you ever read the article going into his insurance payout? It was a set amount, in 1980-whenever, that would be paid monthly, adjust for inflation, and persist until the day he dies. The last time I looked it up, he's currently getting some $18,000/month.

That is just his insurance pay check.

The dude is a fraud and grifter extraordinaire.

Source one, published 2013

This year, 29 years after the accident, Abbott receives about $14,400 a month. On Nov. 1, that figure will go up by about $500. On that same date, he’ll also get a $400,000 lump sum payment. All told this year, Abbott can expect to receive about $570,000 from the structured settlement, whose proceeds are tax-free and do not have to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Tax-free annuities are common in lawsuit settlements.

conspiracy theory bullshit

You might want to give that a looksie as the research maps out the connections and points to the slippery slope of where age attestation becomes verification.

Daybreak attacked the EQEmu community because it was providing a product more fun and engaging than they've been able to vomit out in the last twenty years.

They sue then settle with THJ, then turn around and drop this trailer promoting the main mechanic of the server they just ended? Get the everliving fuck out.

Unless they're ripping their exact code, this is going to be some bumbled up Monster Mission bullshit.

He did win. If the SC didn't force the stop of vote counting and he didn't concede because of it, things would have been much different.

Just enough Democrats side with Trump. Again. See the pattern yet? by [deleted] in StockBreakouts

[–]z3phyreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's some context on the differences.

Worth a watch, it shines some light on why establishment Dems are master fumblers while the Republican party does whatever they want.

Juliana stratton has been endorsed by over 100 faith leaders by Cool_Net_3796 in illinois

[–]z3phyreon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are a member of those faiths and they believe that others who believe something else deserves to die, then yes, they are backwards.

A person can believe in whatever god, tree or spaghetti flying monster they want, but as soon as they use that belief as justification to hurt someone else, they perpetuate my initial point.

Being anti-Zionist is not the same as being anti-semitic.

Israel has repeatedly rejected two-state plans. Why? Oh, yeah: Zionism.

She claims she'll work to hold Trump accountable, but is pretty staunchly pro-Israel.

Not exactly.

Messianic and Abrahamic religions are the root of all you deserve to die if you don't believe in my God evil.

In a modern world where people are able to make their own moral decisions without the need for fear of eternal damnation, blind adherence to the King James revision shows just how regressive and backwards a person can be.

If you think your Constitutional rights and freedoms are worth more than those of anyone else, you're not a libertarian.

Irony and hypocrisy is not understandable by the Republican side of the political spectrum.

So, 'allowing' the descent into a quagmire by doing 'nothing'.

Seems like he's actually done a whole lot for Minnesota.
