Abbott should have been aborted. Disgusting creature.
Aristocrats
The GOP is advocating that the federal government be a single purchaser and distributor of all baby formula in the US. I'm genuinely shocked
Blunderwriter
Still wondering if that Abbott formula maker isn’t somehow related to the asshole in Texas.
ATribeofAfricanNatives
I fucking love how babies from Mexico are somehow in less need of food than white babies in America. Sooo "pro-life"!
SomeDetroitGuy
One point of note: These are 100% LEGAL immigrants. That's why they're not just being sent home. They're asylum seekers which is LEGAL.

Notice he does not dump on the big corporation for having single points of failure in its production system.
StarscreamAndHutch
He made that a possibility before he was gov.
Noahbalboa82
That's a feature of lassez faire gov't, letting them regulate themselves
BeetBoxer
Aren't these the same people who just yesterday were saying "just breastfeed lol" like they couldn't give a fuck?
Thelrishlnquistion
I really hate that bastard abbot
ALifeLessPurgatory
As someone from Texas, me too.

The shortage has been going on for more than 6 months. No one cared until it was all over the media. Now repubs are using it as fodder
StephenDaniels
Just the fact that he would even release that horrible statement tells you everything you need to know about Texas.

Uh…most…of them….?

A governor of a shithole state.

So many people don’t get that was EXACTLY what Abbott was doing
DrCobe
Bunch of garbage subhuman politicians. A baby is a baby regardless. Besidesthe supply chain issues were created by the very same politicians
StarscreamAndHutch
Gov abbott, LtG patrick and AG paxton are all up at midterm. Vote these worthless fucks out with me 11/8/22, Texans. #morebluein22
nememorifacias
completely ignoring how long government procurement takes
musmire75
Bruh seeing all these gossip tweets about us politics all the time on this shitsite. Wish they allowed to filter..
Noahbalboa82
Don't look at the man behind the curtains! It's the brown people!

So very Christian

The are pro birth, not pro life. Republicans stop caring about life the moment it stops directly harming a woman

Domestic supply of infants* *white and healthy infants
kristProblemLord
I hadn't seen this one. Pretty well sums it up.
MinxyJinx
That’s poignant
greggbert
I can't believe we have baby prisoners but since we do we should probably fucking feed them. I think even the taliban would do that.
rongoins1
Why does Gov Abbott do something like this... because that is what Cults do
PeakGeekAllWeek
These are people being held in detention. What is the Biden admin supposed to do, let them starve in our custody?
mt77932
That's exactly what the GQP would have done.
Technotoad64
Yes. That is exactly what they want him to do.
clayford
They are not white god fearing christians so..... yes? /s
SailorVSays
According to Abbott they deserve it for being filthy mex-- illegal immigrants /s
solr22
Correct America's citizens are exclusively white.
johnvictor
Stop trying to think anything they're doing deals with reason in any fashion, it does not. Just throw milkshakes at the Nazis again.
darthstormer
Oh, Abbott has a problem with an action taken by Biden? Must be a day ending in 'y'
Iliketacos42
If Biden didn't send formula they would be complaining about that instead.
SuperDramaticFusion
Could just as easily be “Abbott has a problem with brown people?”
HoochIsCrazzy
but all days end in y.... ohhhhh!
famousfornow
Why is a Texas problem not Texas governors fault?
stsword
Because republicans are too damn stupid to expect their public servants to actually serve the public, instead of serving them up for dinner
RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
Because Biden !
Armored0Titan0
Oh the National problem is his fault. He’s fucked the border crossing and its fucked supply lines.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Are you referring to how Texas treats itself as its own country until it wants something from the country it resides in?
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Like infrastructure, energy, natural disaster, etc? Yep, I’d say they should be on their own then.
Casually
No problem. Then the responsible thing to do would be to not detain infants, so let's stop doing that.
HaltAndDoNotCatchFire
In a number of cases, the Trump admin destroyed records required to reunite infants with their families. So I'm literally not sure we can.
HaltAndDoNotCatchFire
And yes: This is hell, in case you were wondering.

"Did Moff Gideon just order us to put this baby in shackles... We have baby shackles?.... Are we the bad guys?"
FnordGallop
While, yes, the empire is the bad guy in that scenario, as are baby shackles - in a universe where adult people come in the wide array of
FnordGallop
shapes and sizes you see in star wars, you probably need handcuffs for all different shapes of folks, even if you're a less-than-average-

amount-of-fascism police force. Point is - Hutts much bigger than Toydarians.
INeverReadTheTOS
If you're detaining someone, you have a duty of care to ensure they don't fucking die. It's just as simple as that.
StephenDaniels
No, its even simpler. Whatever it takes no babies go without at all period.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
Just means he's changed his mind and is now ok not detaining them! /s
georgedragonslayer
Don't be mean. Just do what we, as a species, have done for thousands of years. Just kill them. Don't be a dick. /S
Lurkinjustlookinohlookarmrolls
I try to explain this concept to people, using jails as an example and they're all "well, they broke the law let them eat sawdust every day"

They don't care. They want their base to know they're more than willing to murder "lessers" with neglect.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
You say that seemingly assuming they're not inhuman monsters that WANT to see others suffer and die because they're different from them.
Casually
Abbot is counting on his supporters either being ok with starving babies or misunderstanding what's going on. Honestly, its a sound strategy
Megameatloaf
It's worked really well so far. Trump really paved the way for weaponizing ignorance.
TheDogEnd
His supporters aren't misunderstanding the situation. They want GOP leadership to be deadly cruel to brown people...because they're racists.
CleverGroom
Exactly. They're not just "ok with starving babies," they want it to happen, because those are the BAD babies.
Megameatloaf
I don't disagree that a portion of them think this but I think you are giving WAAYY too much credit to the majority of his supporter base
Casually
Provided you don't mind being a cruel person.
Sentay
Person is a strong word.
SmellingMistake
That's a prerequisite for being an Abbot supporter.
ztygs
Cruelty is the point for them.
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
I thought that was a prerequisite for republicans.
Sonicschilidogs
He's got an R by his name, so....
