hey texas, we already played this game and you lost hard.
stop trying so hard to be terrible people
Fuck around and find out Abbot. Pretty please?
These days it’s ‘fuck around and we’ll ask you really sternly not to fuck around again.’ Just ask Ammon Bundy.
I mean, he is a fugitive from justice right now.
He got handled with kids gloves by the feds during the take over likely because of waco, only to have a jury acquit him later.
Since hes kept up the same shit though, hes now on the run.
One thing is for sure, Abbot has to respond or something will happen. When the government writes a demand letter, a non-response is not acceptable
Just start cutting any federal funding to the state.
Yep. Start by pulling all US military bases and equipment out of the state. There is a lot of money spent locally to support those bases. Then stop every federal dollar that they can from going to the state of Texas. Cancel contracts with businesses located in the state. They want to secede? Give them a taste.
And don’t send linemen in to fix the power infrastructure when the whole thing freezes again next month.
Why the fuck haven’t they been arrested yet.
“We were just following orders.”
I think Lincoln had the right idea, send in the troops and dare the other side to flinch. You telling me we can’t airdrop amphibious vehicles to secure the river?
The Department of Homeland Security warns it will – by the end of Wednesday – “refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate action and consider all other options available to restore Border Patrol’s access to the border”
oooo! scary scary! i’m totally sure they’re going to stop immediately and issue a full-throated apology!
/s
edit: texas is obviously going to ride this out until someone sends in the national guard and forces them to stop. i’m not advocating for texas
Some folks around here are (somewhat understandably) a bit sensitive about their government’s inability/unwillingness to hold fascists accountable and take it out on the messengers
But, yeah, just to underscore your point - I’m virtually certain the DOJ is already suing Texas over this exact same thing, so I don’t know what kind of further “appropriate action” they think they’re threatening here
Abbot is doing this to draw media attention from our President.
This is a total sideshow.
Also trying to fuck with Biden in an election year.
Hoping this isn’t a Fort Sumter moment.
And nothing will happen because the only true evil to a Democrat is hurting a republicans feels.
A swing and a miss.
Considering the Texans already watched a migrant and her children drown to death, nah.
It’s a much better hit than some people want to admit, that Democrats are just straight up too spineless to deal with these people.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Texas’s failure to provide access to the border persists even in instances of imminent danger to life and safety,” the letter from Department of Homeland Security General Counsel Jonathan Meyer reads.
The federal-state border standoff in Texas has prompted members of a kind of group known for using demonizing rhetoric and intersecting with extremists to issue a call on social media for people to travel to Eagle Pass in protest.
Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber is monitoring the potential arrival this weekend of people from around the country and is concerned for the safety and security of the area due to the heated rhetoric on immigration, he told CNN.
Groups like this one that use “patriot” as part of their names have emerged since 2020 in an effort to get Donald Trump to form a third major political party, the Anti-Defamation League told CNN in a statement.
The heads of every executive branch in the state must provide within 120 days a report to the governor’s office detailing any use “of public funds directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of illegal aliens,” the order says.
The governor directs the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections and the Superintendent of the Louisiana State Police to provide monthly reports on the number of people “charged or convicted of a criminal offense” and to note whether they are documented or undocumented, according to the order.
The original article contains 1,127 words, the summary contains 214 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
And surprise, Texas refused to change anything.
