This is so breathtakingly stupid it makes me laugh. Why would we invade our own state?

It reminds me of the Family Ties episode where Michael J Fox’s character and his friends worked the plan to pick up girls at a bar claiming they were Air Force pilots and they were going to invade Canada the next morning.

It was funny in a sitcom, it’s just dumb in real life.

OMG!!! Read it closely:

“I think what is clear is that I feel confident in expressing to you without having a lot of detailed knowledge of the particular exercise is that the civil liberties and constitutional rights of Americans citizens will be in no way affected by this exercise,”

No where in there does the white house actually say that it considers “white texans” to be legitimate American Citizens. This is obviously more evidence that the conspiracy is real! < \ snark>

“I have no idea what he’s thinking,” Earnest said Wednesday in a press briefing.

TRANSLATION: How can you analyze the “thinking” of a governor with so many hammers in his bag?

Look, just say ‘No,’ and start laughing.

Then read off a list of common conspiracy theories and say ‘We’re not doing this either.’

The laughter of the press corps would be choice.

It is so stupid it makes my cry. My lovely niece married a Texan and moved to Texas. Before that dreadful mistake she was a normal humane person who has turned into a right wing nut job. You know what is even sadder that a member of the WHPC even asked the question

Some people are eager for others to tell them what to think.
