FAFO Texas.

If they touch a Federal agent, make an example out of them & their immediate supervisor via a Conspiracy charge.
I don't think there is a single legal expert that doesn't agree Biden has full authority to shut Abott down, especially since even the supreme court agrees with Biden.
Like what is even the problem here? Abott is killing international asylum seekers by placing razor wire in contested zones.
If Canada placed razor wire on their border and started shooting and deporting Americans, we'd be talking about the ethics of using nukes.
Maybe we should let them try, huh? I give it maybe a month before all their net-taker money runs out and their dipshit Republican policies turn the whole place into Mad fuckin' Max.

The marketing for the Civil War movie is getting out of control.
The inadequacy complex is strong with Texas.
Maybe getting a bigger set of truck nuts would help them self-sooth their short man syndrome?

I guess Texas doesn't understand they don't have an army, but the US government already has a massive base right in the center of Texas.
They can secede and then ask the US and Mexico for aid when they collapse, but there won't be a civil war. Idiots.

Go for it.
Oh look, that's so cute. A bunch of idiots who never read the constitution nor know of our history. Secession is illegal and cannot happen. The union is unbreakable. I live in Texas. Please liberate us.
