For the record, there are more than idle rumblings and calls for Abbott to take various measures, such as throwing wide open enlistment in the state guard; sending in state police and Rangers; mass deputizing of the citizenry; mustering militias across the state … basically opening border efforts to all citizens who can pass a basic background check and are legally cleared to own a firearm.

Not saying any of those things will happen, but Texas isn’t solely relying on the National Guard—tho I firmly believe many of those folks would side with Texas.

That is precisely what they want.

They will title it as protecting democracy from white terrorists. At this stage of the game, any open disobedience to Washington will make suspending the Constitution to deal with this greater "insurrection" possible.

Anyone with a dog in this fight—which ought to be the whole damned country—should systematically ignore the continued, silly allegations of white supremacy and any -phobic/-ism epithet.

"They called me a mean name" can't be how wrong wins over right.

Who cares? This country (the current iteration of it anyway) is completely fricked. The American Milei ain’t walking though that door.

If Abbott deputized people, what makes you think the war needs to be contained at the border? Open season on federal property/assets.


I'd bet there is a massive move of men positioning themselves in Texas for this very opportunity.

Pence comes across as a guy playing a role - insincere.

He is like Mr. Irrelevant from the NFL draft.

You do realize Texans are a fairly well armed populace? And that there are a lot of them?


Not that the current Texas political fight shouldn’t continue, but you do realize DC is laughing at us? I mention this because there are just as many pathways into the US via New Mexico, Arizona, and California, the NGOs know this, and the governors of those states are democrats.

How the hell is Texas going to fight a war?

Then suddenly out of nowhere 50,000 and counting new state guardsmen are deputized.
