We asked Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies. The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” information that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.”

    No more embarrassing and useless than Greg Abbot trying to maneuver around at the beach.

    “We don’t want to release these emails on the grounds that it will make us look bad.”

    Aleshire said it’s not unusual for government agencies to tap the common-law privacy exception in an attempt to withhold records from the public. But he’s used to it being cited in cases that involve children, medical data or other highly personal information — not for emails between an elected official and a businessman.

    Until proven otherwise, I’m assuming the emails include details about Musk’s ties to Epstein.

      Could be Epstein. Ken Paxton’s wife is divorcing him over some kind of “biblical affair” could be Greg, he’s got a mobile cuck chair.

        Hey now we shouldn’t insult him because of his disability, imagine what it makes those who did nothing wrong feel. Oh who am I kidding id dump him onto tarmac hot enough to give third degree burns and tell him to walk if he doesn’t want to be further crippled or die, if he tries to crawl I’m taking fingers then limbs.

    Until further clarification I think everyone needs to go out, and say that this confirms abbot is having gay sex with Elon Musk.

        I mean even vanilla sex while wearing mixed fibers and eating shelfish is verboten, but your mileage may vary depending on how heathen you live. I’m a filthy sinner at the best of times but I’m not a Texas GOP leader.

    Gov. Abbott is too embarrassing to be released in public.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
