Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Newsmax host Carl Higbie mused Thursday about a potential “force-on-force” conflict between Texas and the Biden Administration after the Supreme Court ruled against the state’s Republican governor by declaring that federal agents can remove razor wire laid along the border with Mexico.
Higbie began by telling Stitt that “there’s rumblings that Joe Biden should or may actually federalize the National Guard—take that power away from Greg Abbott.”
…
Stitt called the situation, which has so far seen several migrant deaths,“very weird”—while adding that clash is currently a “powder keg of tension.”
“We certainly stand with Texas on the right to defend themselves,” he said. “But Biden is going to be in a tough situation. So in other words, he’s going to try to federalize these troops—in other words, put them on federal orders. And so now, their allegiance technically goes to the president of the United States instead of the governor.”
The dispute between Texas and the federal government has been compared to the situation that led President Dwight Eisenhower to federalize the Arkansas National Guard—part of his bid to allow Black students to attend a Little Rock public high school against the wishes of the then-segregationist governor.
All these Republican Morons participating in this would either be in prison afterwards or get their shit kicked out. Does anybody believe that some Nutjobs who hoard guns in their basement, or some sort of National Guard stand a chance against the US Military?
It will be funny to see the fuck around and find out if they are dumb enough to try this
If they organize into a homegrown y’all quaeda they could become a problem that haunts us for decades. Biden is in the right here but he ought to be really fucking careful with how he handles this. If he shoots and misses it’s going to be a big problem.
Yeah it doesn’t seem like civil wars ever really end, they just get pushed into the background.
