Setting aside the fact that republicans still haven't scraped enough brain cells together to figure out what a tariff is, Abbott also doesn't realize he's saying he's going to punish right wingers by making them pay a fee to run away from NY
They’ve all gone mad.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

Harpo didn’t “woof”often, as it was a sign of dissatisfaction, & he was a very happy cat.
Generally it was because he was more wound up than usual & I was more shut down than usual, so he felt like my expression of enthusiasm was insufficient. He totally knew when I was faking it to make him happy.
