House Republicans Use SCOTUS Texas Ruling To Salivate Over ‘Civil War’

Some House Republicans are using yesterday’s Supreme Court decision, which allowed federal officials to cut through the razor wire Texas had installed at the border, as a rallying cry, urging Texas Republicans to “stand their ground” and elevating talk of “civil war.”

Nice to see Republican support for a union…

That kind of talk can get a guy hurt. If we cut you loose, Mexico may go ahead and build that wall after all, just to keep you assholes out.

Can’t we just throw Texas out of the union? Keep Houston and eat Texas for 2 D senators and let the rest of their R reps start their own country and give us the upper hand against the rest.

Again the cry of sovereign state
By blowhards so full of hate.
If we pull NASA and bases,
That completely erases
Federal dollars that flow in such spate.

Remove ANY positions that are paid for with Federal dollars including park rangers, TSA, Coast Guard, port authorities, Air Traffic Control, etc. along with the military bases and NASA. Can the airports just be closed?

Note to Mr. Roy: Talk is cheap for a politician who wants to self-promote by posturing.

And we wonder why armed crazies who believe this sh#t show up with automatic weapons and kill innocent people.

The weirdness of TX will have the Chip Roy’s scratching at the screen door and/or howling at the moon. TX legislature is out of session and if Abbott fills inclined to order a special session ( the 5th of this cycle) he has to specifiy, in advance the legislative agenda.
Lots of RED Texans may want to do this, but there is a Primary Election in March., one in which Abbott, Patrick and Paxton are attempting revenge on those who rejected the 4 special session demands.
.I doubt they can actually get a Special Session action between now and then.
The twist this year, Dems finally are challenging most seats in State legislature…so free rides are over!

And while we’re at it, nationalize the TNG, order them to stand down, and let those poor people go back to their homes. TNG is supposed to be very part time. These people have careers and families they haven’t seen since Ab-butt sent them to the border for his vanity project.

A 27 year old Greg Abbott was jogging in the upscale River Oaks Houston neighborhood in 1986. It was a windy day. A limb fell off of a tree and hurt him. The limb sadly crushed missed Greg Abbott’s spine head and neck.

The tree has since apologized, for missing.

Let’s hope that he’s one of the first casualties.

Put the bottle down, Chip Roy. You’re drunk.

Didn’t consider that. Makes sense. He’s such a gasbag.
