So let me get this straight. Gov. Abbott of TX says he’ll defy federal law because an “invasion” has happened at the border, but the GOP refuses to fix the border because that would hand Biden a political win? Have I got that right?

You say, "When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean."

The Democratic Party & Republican Party are also a hoax.

Trickle-Down Economics, Weaponized Law & Order of Democratic/Republican Party Fascist Duopoly/US Fascist Ruling Class, implemented by US Fascist Ruling Class against Working Class. US Fascist Ruling Class uses Weaponized Law & Order to deny Working Class Labor a SEAT AT THE TABLE, a legitimate Working Class Political Party.

I don't understand why 50% of America (GOP) is totally looney. There must be something that nestles in the Republican mind that makes it ignore reality.

@rbreich yes abbott has gone to far with his boarder control pendulum swing like so many pendulums have gone too far

The magacunt agenda has never been aboit securing the borders. They benefit too much from the cheap labor and non-voting slaves.

You are not the only one that is confused about this.

One might even suggest that the GOP throwing their glove in with fixing the border would in fact hand anyone but Biden a political win.

But that is logical and logic and politics seldom mix well.

@rbreich Note : September 25th 1957, President Eisenhower ordered the troops of the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock Arkansas when gov Orval Faubus mobilized the ARKANSAS NATIONAL GUARD to prevent black students students attending school.

@rbreich Almost. Gov. Abbott has also aided and abetted the invasion by transporting the invaders across state lines to other major cities.

@rbreich yes Bob that’s correct. But I advise dropping this tired ‘Let me get this outrageous fact straight’’ bullshit. It’s old and tired. Good luck.

@rbreich The Almighty Trump has spoken. He's told his political flock to obey and everything will be fixed when he returns to power. His gift is fixing thing. His word is their gospel. His instructions come being the self proclaimed king of all things.

So his imaginary world goes....

But sadly his political flock are all emasculated as proof of their loyalty.

Reminder, Republican billionaire donors are funding the drowning of desperate women and children.

Billionaires thwarted climate action for 50 years, they should be responsible for the climate refugees they made.

@rbreich I think you’re missing the part where the GOP is investigating impeaching the head of the DHS and the President for “high crimes” of not enforcing existing border laws, but refusing to appropriate funds to enforce the existing border laws

@rbreich What's really bugging me, entirely out of proportion to the actually potentially serious issue, is did you really have to take a stand on if federal agents could clip some wires?

Like, if you are going to have a major jurisdiction and PR kerfuffle and talk fairly openly about succession, could it have been about something a little more dramatic? Sounds more like the state of Texas is fighting with the US government in small claims court over a cable install.
