BAL KAN IZE! BAL KAN IZE! BAL KAN IZE!
This is so flagrantly illegal. Free travel between states is a very plain and well established constitutional principle. I wish this man a very freeze to death this winter.

comrade tree should have finished the job
The US if Greg stopped walking for a few seconds to pick up a penny on the sidewalk during the storm

You are much kinder than I am. I can't say what I think because it would be big-time fed posting.
Literally a nullification crisis and the Biden admin does nothing. Useless liberals.
tfw dark brandon was a meme and he won't be rolling tanks through Austin 
I was going to make my typical joke that he'll give a speech about it but then I realized he won't even do that. Also - Biden's DOJ might send Texas a letter and if so - Texas will simply ignore it. Or maybe Abbott will tweet "Don't mess with Texas!" about it.
Biden's DOJ has sent in a silly letter. We shall neither print it nor reply to them.
someone should do a version of Papers Please with southwestern US aesthetics instead of anticommunist brainworms
I hate how all those games are just anticommunist garbage and the devs don't think maybe criticism of the society they live in is more pertinent
biden could literally arrest this man, and the supreme court would probably uphold it. the democrats allowing this is the highest order of incompetetence. who could vote for people who won't govern and actively collaborate with the opposition like this?
I can't stop thinking about yesterday when I Lemmy lib popped into my thread and unironically said...
I love people acting like a lone Senator can achieve anything.
Being a liberal means you lecture people to vote and then when the dems don't actually do anything - you lecture them more. And when a leftist points out that fish rots from the head and Biden the biggest problem then you tell that YoU dOn't UnDeRsTaNd HoW pOlItIcS wOrKs.
if you really think about it, the important thing is that no changes are made that might reduce my material privilege
If you want to point out to libs how Biden could easily fix this, the hypothetical is that he could federalize the Texas National Guard and order them to tear all this down.
An actually Dark Brandon: "I'm federalizing the Texas National Guard and I have instructed them to tear down the illegal barbed wire fence installed by the unhinged right-wing Texas governor. He put it up between Texas and New Mexico. I will not allow such a fence between states!..."
Lib Dark Brandon: Biden with laser eyes on a coffee mug.
Dark Brandon used to be a right-wing fever dream, and then the libs discovered it.
Distract a baby - jangle car keys.
Distract a lib - Dark Brandon!
It's so depressing to me how libs religiously follow and are totally outraged by everything related to Trump. They've made him their boogeyman but they refuse to accept the entire republican party is a danger to the country.
Scalise called himself "David Duke without the baggage" and he might become speaker soon but they yawn at stuff like that. Trump is all they care about.

Libs yawned at David Duke too, baggage be damned 
Libs are entranced to the Spectacle, both good and bad. If it isn't spectacular it never crosses the lib. X without the baggage is precisely (*sniff*^1^) what liberals want. He's signalling his anti-spectacular-ness. After years of Trump hysteria, it speaks to a genuine desire (*sniff*^1^) for a politics that doesn't constantly drive them to anxiety. The best way I characterize liberal "progress" is letting the old racists/bigots/etc die and society will "naturally" (*sniff*^1^) drive towards progress and Justice^2^. Its self-serving because they don't have to do anything. It's ahistorical; materially ignoring all the others in the past who actively fought for that progress. But I understand the desire for a calm.
^1^ It's *sniff* pure Ideology, you know 
^2^ This progress is a material force, which is why the Conservative counter-hysteria about progress has some truth. History Bends Towards Justice, but the liberal forgets the material hands (often bleeding) doing the bending.
biden could literally arrest this man
Should, but shant.
and the supreme court would probably uphold it
Eh, 50/50
the democrats allowing this is the highest order of incompetetence
Yes.
Eh, 50/50
i was being hopeful since the relevant bit of the constitution is completely unambiguous but you're probably right lmao
So the migrants are going to now instead cross the border at New Mexico, get some bolt cutters, then enter Texas
Now, pardner, you just made a real good case why the good ol' Texas Rangers ought to op'rate cross state lines to protect the sovereignty of the Lone Star State.
The texas rangers are launching a special security operation in New Mexico
That's a joke, right? Right?
For Texas - sovereignty means whatever Texas wants to do.
as long as they buy american made bolt cutters in new mexico, i dont see the problem. they'd be contributing to the US economy
They should just do this for the entirety of Texas' border. Fulfill the independent nation of Texas fantasy.
Texas saves the world by balkanizing the US
Gotta keep those women from their gynecologist some how
nuke Texas. gotta nuke something.
Unfortunately the only American facility for building and maintaining nuclear weapons, Pantex, is in Texas.
Give it the same safety inspectors that fertilizer factory had and wait for the problem to resolve itself.

I see nothing unfortunate here 
well you dont need them anymore after you used the nukes
Dumb question: why would a nuclear superpower have its entire nuclear arsenal-shaped egg collection in one very-close-to-a-bordering-nation-shaped basket? Obviously Mexico's not likely to take it out, but that seems like the kind of thing you'd want to diversify a little.
