So, wait. He wants to secede, but also supports the US military spending money to sponsor an event in his state? Do you want help from the federal government or not, Gregg? Or did the tree hit more than your spine when it fell on you? Though I suppose both can be true…
You mean the tree limb that fell on him, sued his neighbor, got a massive payout (millions) and then got elected to higher office only to turn around and pass laws to make sure no one else could get payouts like that? Fuck Greg Abbott. I hope the tree comes back to finish the job.
You can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Hypocrisy and double-think are the bread and butter of Texas Republicans.
So the US army who has very little say as to where the ammo is sent (it's congress making those decisions) is helping to sponsor an event. And certain musicians are pulling out to protest something they (the army) have no real control over?
Nothing like sending a message of "hey you are out there doing a tough job but we don't want you near us ".
Are you serious with this take? SXSW is an arts festival. Not a place for military propaganda and recruitment. Turns out, most artists abhor any kind of military action.
