    This is what happens when you call the 1/6 insurrectionists “tourists” and/or give them light sentences. Throw the book at these fuckers each and every time.

      Maybe they’re just mispronouncing the word “terrorist”, they aren’t the most educated folk ya know. They did give those terrorists too light a sentence anyway.

    If you thought their surprise attack was a success, wait til you see how it goes when they announce it ahead of time.

    This ought to be good.

      Specialist:

      Sir! 500 lb shitbag on a rascal sighted 3 clicks north!

      Officer:

      We got a week to plan then. Deploy the strategic cheeseburgers to slow them down.

    I wish some of the Mexican drug cartels would show up there at the same time, and then all the assholes in both countries could just finish each other off and leave the rest of us alone.

      Please…the cartels would wipe out meal-team-six in minutes and keep going.

      Actual murderers who are trained in violence versus stupid cosplayers.

      Something tells me the cartels aren’t too concerned about these “border protections”. Why would they get involved? In fact, the whole thing works out pretty well for them as a distraction.

      The fact that the fairly drama-free Obama years are probably the best (or least insane) I’ll see in my lifetime is incredibly depressing. These miserable, deranged lunatics and terrorists are determined to make life hell for everyone else, too.

    They’re so eager for a civil war that they want to start one next week?

      That relies on the government actually doing something to stop them. Something its shown countless times it’s afraid to do.

        not afraid, not with that military budget.

        they agree with the far right nutjobs. or rather they serve them a purpose.

    Why is it so common to blame those poorer, weaker, and more desperate than you for your problems. Yes live probably has gotten worse, and obvious problems are not being solved, but migrants are the last people to blame. It’s such a destructive tendency, and it’s sad to see the same mistake happening again and again.

      The worst bit? The people most mad have the most in common with the migrants: low job security, lack of healthcare, food insecurity… if the people flying their Trump flags high would take just one second to look at themselves and at the rest of us they’d realize the enemy isn’t people, it’s unchecked capitalism.

      And on that, I bet we actually agree. I just don’t want to fix it with a side of hurting people who are different than me, that’s all.

    Oh look, the gravy seals are out waving guns around trying to intimidate people again.

    It’s almost like the slap on the wrists these guys receive only emboldens them to keep doing it.

    All this shit keeps going because they didn’t arrest all those morons taking over the wild life refuge years ago. It encouraged this crazy take on us military ideology. This is going to end very badly one day.

      Unfortunately Texas has a really large chunk of US oil reserves. I don’t see the US letting the actual land of Texas go, let alone giving it to Mexico.

    LOL wait til they realize they’re just shutting themselves off from receiving economic benefits. Really trying to fast track Texas’ isolation. Good - they can support their own now. Stop expecting shit from California and other states. No one wants to visit the Alamo, where another force of volunteers failed. No one really wants to move there they just have to due how cheap all the dusty flat shit they call land is. The weather is garbage.
