So they can return to their rightful owner Mexico...right? Right...? 🥺🥺🥺
I'm ready to beat the conservatives in Civil War 2, tbh. It sounds easier to deal with them now than watch the slow decline of the USA.

FAFO Texas.
U.S.C. 18: 111
This statute outlines certain types of assault against a federal officer and the appropriate charges and penalties. Penalties for Assaulting or Resisting a Federal Officer A simple assault of a federal officer carries a $100,000 fine and up to one year in prison.
For example, simple assault is forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers while performing their duties. As noted, physical contact or injury is not required for a conviction.
Simple federal assault is a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to 1 year in jail and fines of up to $100,000.
(b) Enhanced Penalty.—
Whoever, in the commission of any acts described in subsection (a), uses a deadly or dangerous weapon (including a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective component) or inflicts bodily injury, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
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.
I would love to see how fast they fold without federal money if I didn't also know who it'd hurt the most
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.

Remove all military assets and troops from Texas.
and remove all military spending. Texas is a huge benificiary here - tons and tons of aerospace like Lockheed and Bell Textron, rockets on the coast, enormous amounts of defense spending happens here.
The marketing for the Civil War movie is getting out of control.
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.
