Greg Abbott has got the COVID — my hot takes (and a few others)

And, of course, on hearing this news, I couldn't resist hot takes on Twitter.

Like this:

Schadenfreude is a coronavirus biatch, Greg Abbott.

What else is there to say, folks?#Schadenfreude #coronavirus

Given that he's been attending maskless crowds, it IS schadenfreude well earned.

So?

There's this:

Is Greg Abbott gonna fulfill Dan Patrick's duty to die?

Two schadenfreude bitches with one stone.

And this:

Greg. Abbott. Has. Covid.

How can you tell? He already has no sense of taste.

— Crushes Xi Jinping Thought Kool-Aid peddlers 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) August 17, 2021

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

And this:

Since Greg Abbott already has Trumpy's endorsement, will he be trying inner heat and light for his COVID treatment? I'd be glad to help him if you catch my drift.

— Crushes Xi Jinping Thought Kool-Aid peddlers 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) August 17, 2021

C'mon, you would, too!

And this:

Someone tell Greg Abbott that the secret truth is monoclonal antibodies are made from fetal stem cells and lets see him shit his hypocritical pants.

Nothing like throwing a dollop of conspiracy-theory pot-stirring in the mix.

And this:

So, when Strangeabbott hits COVID delirium in 48 hours, will he really become "Dr. Strangeabbott"? https://t.co/6AJ6y8SXCt

— Crushes Xi Jinping Thought Kool-Aid peddlers 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) August 17, 2021

And this:

Since he has COVID, will Greg Abbott have his DPS security detail tail and cage him so he doesn't do anything Ill Eagle?

— Crushes Xi Jinping Thought Kool-Aid peddlers 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) August 17, 2021

I'll be here all week, folks!

Here's one or two that aren't mine:

I hope there’s no bed for him. Sincerely, fed up ICU nurse.

Nice ...

And, kinder, gentler schadenfreude?

Me after hearing Greg Abbott tested positive for the 'Ronapic.twitter.com/9K462YThIe

Sure!

And seeing the flip side? A COVID oldie but goodie:

COVID-19 has been infected with @GregAbbott_TX. May the Rona beat it. #prayersforCOVID19

— Lola Rey (@heylolarey) August 17, 2021

Yep.

This one goes political.

Passing on the rona to your rich racist donors to own the libs https://t.co/PHmEI8PAXU

Political schadenfreude!

On the serious side, living in Texas, I know that Danny Goeb takes over if Strangeabbott goes to his COVID non-afterlife reward. At the same time, AFAIK, Tex-ass has no state equivalent to the 25th Amendment.

Per Ballotpedia, the Texas Constitution does talk about, under Lite Guv powers, the "temporary incapacitation" of the guv, but unlike the 25th Amendment, in part since Tex-ass has Dick Cheney's plural executive, it doesn't say HOW that's determined if the guv doesn't admit it on his own. The full Article 4 of the Tex-ass Constitution only confirms that. There is no 25th Amendment type provision for Abbott going stir-crazy and then, say a la Nietzsche, kissing a horse and weeping over it or something.

So, what happens if Strangeabbott goes in a coma? Or kisses a horse because, per Nietzsche, it will make him stronger since it's not killing him?

No third special session, for starters.

Update: Rumor has it that Abbott skipped line and got a booster ... and it still didn't save him from his politically-driven foolishness.
