Abbott talks about Football when asked about the Guadalupe River Flood

Texas Governor Greg Abbott talked about football and called reporters "losers" who asked for accountability for lives lost after the fourth-deadliest flood in Texas history.

Gov. Abbott talking about football is a dog whistle to white supremacists, much like Trump did during the election. Abbott, you are to blame, as are the Republican legislators who instead of focusing on what Texas needs introduced over 100 anti-trans bills this year and intends on passing a bathroom bill during the upcoming special session, the Austin fire chief who delayed sending help for budgetary reasons, the Trump administration for the absence of Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” who had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, The inspectors who approved Camp Mystic’s non-existent disaster plan just 2 days before the deadly flood, and the lack of a warning system on the Guadalupe river flood plain where children's summer camps are located.

Abbott responded in the same fashion, by going on the attack after police stood by as a gunman slaughtered 19 children and 2 adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalda, Texas.

The buck stops with you, Greg Abbott, or at least it should have long ago. Texas deserves better.

Canton police announced late Thursday that the disappearance of Ryan Godbey is now a homicide investigation. They’ve charged Daniel Mattay, Ryan’s former partner, with four felonies: murder, felonious assault, strangulation and domestic violence.

“New evidence has led our agency to transition the case from a missing person to a homicide investigation,” Canton Police Chief John Gabbard wrote in a news release. “While Godbey has not yet been located, the new evidence makes it clear that they are deceased and that Mr. Mattay is responsible.”

The police department did not say what the new evidence is. Mattay is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Monday in Canton Municipal Court.
