A coward who wants status, a coward who wants power, and a coward who wants a paycheck.

If he's not a Republican, he acts like one.

What's on the mind of every ordinary person in Uvalde is will it happen again there?

No reason it couldn't. The Good Guts With Guns are out for themselves, following the brave example of Texas Governor Abbott.

The whole circus looks like something out of the Deep South during the 50s and 60s.

The Feds are being forced to go in and find out what really happened. It's deja vu all over again.

Would a Right-wing Governor and a Right-wing Lt. Governor cover-up the truth about a Texas school massacre for personal political gain?

Of course they are.

Tune in tomorrow as we see a coward with a gun get the snot beat out of him by a group of distraught mothers...
