As best as I surmise the role of Nat’l Guard troops will be limited to having their thumb up their ass with one hand while the other points at something suspicious and says “Oooh, oooh, over there!”
If the good citizens of Arizona are anything like those in Maricopa County I’m sure they won’t mind paying for this boondoggle. After all, they happily paid well over $70 million in fines and settlements for the pleasure of having criminally convicted Joe Arpayaso as its head outlaw/county mountie.
Every single Democrat and member of the media interviewing or questioning a Republican regarding any aspect of the wall should start by asking “When are Trump’s promised funds from Mexico for construction of the wall being remitted to our treasury?”
“Tango Bravo 29, this is Tango Bravo 26, do you have any threes? Over.”
Tango Bravo 26, Tango Bravo 29, go fish. Over."
Dear TPMers not from California (I know you are out there, because all the good comments are already posted by the time I get up and log on):
Please start stockpiling thoughts and prayers for those of us in California.
With the governors of TX, NM, and AZ all sending troops to the border, California becomes the big, soft, National Guard–free target. The massive (and, apparently, stealthy) immigrant crime spree that has been decimating border areas in the US will now concentrate on California.
I’ve been a lame prepper – no bunker, no armory, no barrels of dried food and canned goods – but I am preparing as well as I can with what I have. I’ve sharpened several kitchen knives, and we have a persistently large amount of leftover Easter ham in the refrigerator. My phone, cordless drill, and cordless weed whacker are all fully charged. One toilet is clogged today, but we still have two in working order. I think I will be okay, but I worry about my neighbors, my community, and my state. That is where you, and your thoughts and prayers, come in. Please help us survive this.
Oh, wait…there’s one more line on the back of they script they gave me: “I want to assure you that many of California’s 40 million residents are not crisis actors, and my agent tells me that Soros’ people never hire anyone they don’t already know.”
Nothing like wasting our National Guard on a fool’s errand. Sorry ladies and gentlemen. Somebody has to make up for the doddering old reality show host’s bruised ego with a special meaningless exercise to keep the rubes happy. Too bad you didn’t win the immunity fetish stick. Let’s see what your team has been chosen for…
Ah yez, a globally warmed summer in the great Chihuahuan Desert while you get chumped when that promotion you were hoping for at work goes to somebody the boss can depend on to be there. But you get to cuss all you want. That should keep you voting for Republicans. Don’t worry. Be Happy.
