Those are US Army soldiers, paid by the US government. Control of the state reserves is only delegated to the Governor, because that makes sense. The individual governors can freely send them to areas which are in need. But the President can take back control at any time. If the governor of Texas decided to take the reserves under his direction and attack the US, they'd be placed right back under US control.

They are not a "Texas" army. They are part of the US Army delegated to Texas.

Dems already have better 2028 candidates such as Newsome than the GOP, who can't seem to find even one viable candidate anywhere.

Of course, but they aren't a Texas army. The President can just decide to move them out or use them as needed.

The US government is paying those soldiers.

Each state has a National Guard unit, but it's still part of the US Army. That's what it's called a National Guard.

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.

I know you're right, but I also know the media is going to be pushing the 'Trump might win!' storyline nonstop until November. Rather than just report on, you know, all of his crimes and attempt to overthrow the United States, they'll take the lazy way out and just keep repeating the same story maniacally for months.

What, the guy who complained about fraud in every election, even the one he won, would do it again?

Who cares, he's not going to be president. The GOP should start focusing on 2028 and trying to find an actual presidential candidate somewhere in their basket of losers.

Maybe so, but there are people who aren't scared of bears and get mauled to death. If he really is that dumb he won't hear the impending doom.

  1. Buy Brother, better printers without all this subscription garbage.

  2. How long before an 'open source' printer hots the market and terrifies this idiot CEO?

I have wondered what the GOP will do when they lose again with Trump. If they do what they've done in the past, they will learn the wrong lessons and try to make up for it with more illegal power grabs.
