Abbott Is Using Cars For A Border Wall And It Looks Pretty Stupid | Talking Points Memo

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has engineered a “steel wall” of Texas Department of Public Safety vehicles at the Del Rio area of the southern border, which has seen a major influx of Haitian migrants in recent days.

I saw that on TV earlier and thought palmface.

Maybe they didn’t have enough horses and riders?

Abbott learned about creating walls from TFG.

Kinda OT: all the late night comedians united last night to cover climate change and they did a better job than the MSM. I learned about an incredibly stupid big oil project: trying to refreeze the tundra that is thawing too quickly each year for drilling.
You can’t make this shit up.

  • Abbott calls his barrier a “steel wall,” and it looks like……this:

“Our #bordercrisis goes beyond the RGV and South TX communities — the smuggling of drugs, people, and weapons reaches far and wide, and it affects all of us. I will continue to work tirelessly to secure our border and protect the people of Texas." — @GregAbbott_TX pic.twitter.com/2kMkse29l2

Just effing do it. Please. Effing House rambles on incessantly about how they’re bringing down the hammer. Then they reach into the tool box and bring out a bent screwdriver. Just STFU and start some serious shit with all the perps.

The solution to “a warm climate” is air-conditioning?!?

In other news, I discovered that the solution to power outages is to plug stuff in.

We can smugly laugh all we want. But I would be willing to bet that for millions of angry yahoos out there this looks like leadership. Yeah sure, you can mock the stupidity of “a line of cars” but it’s not as if it’s a line of random rusting cars. These are police cars, and to the average dickless incel, that’s the power of the state. If Abbott has to resort to using police cars to protect the border, well, that’s just because all those goddamned liberals in Washington want to allow good christian men to be overrun by those brown terrorists. Abbott is fighting the good fight. And yes, he might lose but at least he’s standing up to those who would take him down. See, real men fight even when the odds are against them. This is the Alamo redux.

When you look at this from their side, it doesn’t look that stupid. I’m not saying I agree with it. I’m just saying, don’t be so smug. Smug people usually get their asses handed to them.

Seems to me like Texas has waaayyy too many cop cars, if they can afford to divert so many for a cheesey PR stunt.

The oceans are warming, so why all the fuss about the poles melting? We WANT huge icebergs breaking off and floating out to sea. To cool the oceans!

It’s science.

I’m surprised there isn’t yet a conspiracy theory about how the major beer manufacturers are putting the covid vaccine in the beer. I mean, it’s not like you could taste the difference.
