Texas Governor takes away people with disabilities option to vote by mail

 Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes bill that would give people with disabilities new option to vote by mail

Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

Advocates say Abbott’s veto of House Bill 3159 is a blow for voters with disabilities who have for years called for the Legislature to grant them a way to mark their mail-in ballots without having to rely on anyone else.

Guy in wheelchair makes it harder for disabled people to vote. You would almost think it’s the Onion.

He’s paralyzed from a tree that fell on him while jogging after a storm.

He sued the homeowner for an initial payment of 400k and monthly payments for the rest of his life at 14k.

Shortly after, he closed up that legal loophole so that no one else can do that. 

At some point, their policies will fail. Unless the republican party actually changes and begins trying to improve life on earth, then they will eventually be worn away.

Oh and talking about Republicans:

Republicans Plan to Cut Free School Lunches

The largest ideological caucus in the House Republican conference is proposing steep cuts to free and reduced school lunch programs nationwide, citing the need to "prevent the widespread fraud present in the program."

Embedded deep in the Republican Study Committee's (RSC) recommended budget released Wednesday night, the plan calls for a series of reforms designed to cut federal funding for school lunches and encourage states to increase their shares of funding for the program—a move the RSC argues will encourage state legislatures to restrict the eligible population receiving school lunch to "truly needy" households.

After birth and before reaching voting age, the GOP has no use for you. Get a job, you lazy children.

Republicans hate the idea of poor people being educated or well-fed. They literally want people who are less fortunate to work and die and that's it, no education, no happiness, no joy. Work and die.

This is arguably the least abused form of welfare we have in this country. Government money funds the meal that goes directly to the kid at lunch time.

It also helps farmers, who they pretend to care about once an election cycle.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
