The fuck is crying about biden failing to enforce immigration policy and secure the border but yet at the same time the republican party refused to agree on finding a solution with Dems. This crippled fuck is trying to gaslight us.

Gaslight.
Obstruct.
Project.
Every accusation is a confession. Every argument is based on a false reality.
Was the shot at Abbott's disability really necessary? He's an awful enough person that surely you can find something else to slam besides that
Nah. Tolerance and respect is a peace treaty, and he violates it every time he opens his mouth or holds a pen. He doesn't get to benefit from the same grace he maliciously refuses to give others.
He's the only guy in a wheelchair I'd advocate for pushing the damn thing over and running away.
Why do you care? He's a piece of shit.
This expresses what I meant better than I could have said. Thanks
No worries; I saw it once and it stuck with me. For an ms paint drawing it's pretty powerful. I do have one small issue with it, which is that it doesn't explicitly state that it is not a bad thing to have that trait. Calling someone disabled as an insult implies that being disabled is bad, which I fundamentally disagree with. It's not because I 'don't want to upset anyone' -- it's because I completely disagree with the implication, and I think the implication is directly damaging to us as a society.
I'd much rather insult someone because they're a neo-fascist who deserves to find Lego on their bathroom floor with their foot at 1am when they only went for a piss and now the pain and adrenaline has jolted them awake and they won't sleep until at least 4am... for the rest of their life.

Article 1, clause 10, section 3:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
Abbott is literally calling these migrants an invasion force, like an army or something, looking to overthrow the government. I think he's stretching things there. Texas is not getting invaded, at least in the sense that the clause refers to.
I'm on the side of the migrants. Texas needs a major change. I wish them luck with their takeover.
Don't they just keep kidnapping them and busing them elsewhere?

But the National Guard is under Federal chain of command, so Pentagon can activate the Texas National Guard right out from under Abbott. Which honestly is probably exactly what Abbott wants so he can roll around whinging about the big mean Federal government usurping the state's resources.

Mr Abbott further invoked his own state’s “constitutional authority to defend and protect itself” for continuing to block federal agents from the border.
“That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary,” he added.
I’m sorry, what?
I think he's calling Texas law 'the supreme law of the land.'
Motherfucker is essentially claiming Sovereign Citizen.
I don’t think I saw him spin around three times with his eyes crossed. He is still under normal law.
The immigrants were traveling, your honor.

This is bullshit posturing. He is a coward and he will back down. I don't buy this will lead to civil war for a minute. Especially not when they could get Trump in office legitimately.
Yeah but wouldn't be great if they get abbot for sedition too.
Legitimately? That guy can't legitimately be anywhere but prison after using fake electors. If we say the president is immune, which is bs then he should be in prison for sharing classified information to non clearenced individuals and he has admitted to it on tape... Legitimately he has one place. Life in Prison, or the death penalty as an enemy of the state. Anyone who thinks Snowden is worse than Trump (which last I checked Snowden is listed as an enemy of the state, which did not require a conviction) is a fool.
You know what I mean.
Burn it down, no reconstruction this time. That was one of the biggest mistakes post-civil war.
He just wants Biden to federalize the national guard so he can whine about Biden being a dictator.
Let's hope he doesn't fuck up and get anyone killed while he's playing with fire.
Sherman them all again.
Sherman stopped too soon. He should have gone down to Austin and headed east then north until he hit D.C. He should have left no building standing and no crops growing. Then every confederate leader should have hanged by the neck until dead.
I'm assuming that you have never lived in the rural South. The people who disproportionately suffer from the impact of the Civil War and reconstruction are poor and black.
I'm with you on hanging traitors, but a more devastated South would not have been good for anyone.
Well they let the rich white people keep power. Of course they legislated the burden onto other people, but it literally never had to be that way, it wasn't a foregone conclusion.
Still in the “fuck around and…” phase I guess.
The people in charge of "find out" are Democrats. There is no "find out" phase.
This will last until a federal court says it's not an invasion.
Abbott is already ignoring SCOTUS; what makes you think he'd listen to a court's definition of "invasion"?
14th amendment. He can obey the court, or he can be declared an insurrectionist, and unqualified to hold any public office.
Jokes on you. He's already unqualified to hold any public office.
Yes, but not yet legally so. If we're lucky, on the other hand...
Have you met our court system?
We ignored the ferdalist society for too long and theyve captured wide swaths of our judicial system.
Even if he loses every step of the way up to the SC, you really think the SC won't go along with this?
He already lost at the Supreme Court. This is his declaration that he's ignoring that.
What a fucking asshole. I'm so tired of the cons.
Trexit.
Texit.
FTFY
Im sure theres a stronly worded letter coming his way!
Abbot is full of shit, as always.
From his letter:
Biden has ignored Texas demand that he perform his constitutional duties...thosnrefusalbtonprotect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People alll across the United States>
No proof of damage except the 'I dont like brown people' that's typical of republicans. I don't recall Texas saying shit when Trump abandoned his constitutional duties to promote the general welfare of the public and let large swaths of Americans die to covid, just because he didn't want to hurt his election chances. Pretty sure that's precedent, though Abbot claims Biden's damage is unprecedented.
This whole document is to rattle supporters into a frenzy. Fuck Abbot.
