Can someone from the White House please point out that if there really is an "invasion" at the southern border, that makes DeSantis and Abbott guilty of aiding America's enemies by putting them on buses and planes and sending them all over the US?
Since when does human trafficking aid the victims?
It doesn't, but that's beside the point. The point is, if there really is an "invasion" at the border, what do you call someone who helps those "invaders" get deeper into the country? Why shouldn't the federal government march right in to Tallahassee and Austin and arrest Abbott and DeSantis on charges of treason?
Biden should call their bluff. Letting Abbott and DeSantis make these little shows of defiance using actual troops and law enforcement personnel only emboldens the right. That has to be a red line.
I think that my favorite part of the Bible is where Jesus puts razor wire in the river to keep people from entering his country.
For fuck's sake, shut this down already. They're going to keep ratcheting until they get a response, and if they go far enough the next step is to actually start fighting. It's not a harmless stunt, this is normalizing the steps toward armed rebellion.
For fucks sake, they really want Civil War 2, don't they.
What's crazy is, no, they don't want war. They want to get reelected indefinitely for status and profit, and will say anything to get that. The shit they say incites their followers to want war, and that is advantageous for them.
The politicians know their bluffs will be called, but if they keep people mad and scared, they can keep farming donations and votes from rubes. They've done it for decades. This rhetoric gets stale eventually, so they have to keep amplifying the message, to the point they're now posturing for a civil war they know won't ever come.
Meanwhile, their voters are bashing people on the head with hammers or killing family members because they've been told to be scared for decades, and are now being told to fight back.
The politicians know their bluffs will be called,
They want their bluffs to be called, because then they can squawk ab it it the big bad Deep State oppressing them.
I don't really know what DeSantis and Trump really want. I know some of these people who follow them though, and yes, they absolutely want civil war. That may not continue if it starts happening and they find out what the reality is like, but right now they want it.
We would have to actually end the first civil war before we could technically start a new one. They did have terms of surrender etc signed. But only the leadership surrendered. It's been a cold civil war for at least the last hundred years plus
Since it looks like the GOP is going to loose at the next election, a civil war is one of the few options left
You know, either they really want to start another war, or this is just a damn show for this crazy ass election cycle that’s taking place. Probably both. They want to be able to tell their constituents “we’re doing everything we can to save this country, and we’re telling the Feds to F off while we do it. And their base just eats it up like taco night.
Fat Ron wasting yet more taxpayer money
Arrest every officer involved. Including desantis. Charge? Insurrection.
If Florida seceded… we get to call the wall “America’s Cock Ring”. Just saying.
Not like it matters, that cock is gonna shrink smaller and smaller with climate change.
Exactly what happens when you have a cock ring too tight and don't remove it
don't tell them that. They're proud of being the state shaped like a giant dick.
wait. maybe that'll get them on board with fighting climate change....
It would seem to me that if a governor could order military actions in another state, that would make this a nation of 50 commander-in-chiefs, not one. I would think that, if not under orders from POTUS, any military actions of the Florida National Guard in another state would be illegal.
I feel the obvious thing that is happening is they are trying to normalize it in a lead up to civil war. One inch at a time they are consciously walking towards normalizing state on state interference. It's same reason we are seeing texas trying to get medical records from a Seattle hospital. Pushing the boundaries is the MO.
Ah but this isn't the National Guard, it's the Florida State Guard. The first time it existed was because the actual National Guard was busy in WW2. Now lil Ronny resurrected it to use as his personal police force.
Arguably, putting up razor wire isn't military action. It's construction. The intent is obvious of course, but the constitution doesn't usually cover intent.
Don't forget that, last year, when actual Nazis were goose stepping outside of Disney, Traitor Ron didn't make any effort whatsoever to stop them.
Sounds like DeSantis is an insurrectionist too.
He only wishes
I'm positive he doesn't have the capacity to do this since it pertains to operations outside of state lines, but these assholes really want to run and push the limits to trigger a court case. As I'm seeing this, if the Florida Troops do anything like harm a person, they are fucked.
Why is it only a crisis in Texas and not Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, or California?
I get a lot of people are crossing over, fleeing violence and political unrest but it seems like only Texas is posturing and turning it into a political issue.
Texas has the shitest state government of them. Who also love to grandstand the most
That picture of the guy in the middle of the razor wire is fucking harrowing
There is nothing legal about this.
Hasn't seemed to be a concern for them yet.
The next Red Dawn remake won't have to worry about hasty last-minute edits to make the Chinese invaders into North Koreans. MAGA chucklefucks getting schwacked won't bother the CCP one bit.
I hate this timeline. Fuck all these jerks that keep trying to goad on a civil war.
Go ahead swing your pee pee around just don't cry when we deduct it from your state subsidies
