Brown people have access to bolt cutters. What's the point? They may kill some birds.


If I was an open border racist, that is what I would post.

Not saying you are an open border racist, but the similarity is astounding.

Texas National Guard soldiers were seen preparing for the installation of more razor wire along the southern border in Eagle Pass, coming after the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Biden’s Border Patrol was allowed to remove the border protection.

Footage showed troops assembling razor wire structures under an overpass, with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk writing on X, "The Texas National Guard responds to the Supreme Court's order to remove the razor wire in Eagle Pass by installing even more. Governor Abbott has said "Texas will not back down" as it defends its border. HOLD THE LINE TEXAS."

This is the response I expected from Abbott, but I have to entertain the thought that this could also be a catalyst for a showdown between federal and state forces. There is historical precedent, though Texas has not threatened secession, nor do I expect them to, but animosity is simmering in Texas. Let's hope it doesn't boil over. Although a statement by Tucker Carlson seems to be pointing in that direction...

He seems to be calling for a situation that could turn ugly in today's political climate, though I don't necessarily disagree.


Abbot is an idiot. There is a SCOTUS decision against him. Anyone interfering with its enforcement can be arrested and incarcerated on the spot. This includes any Texas politician or law enforcement officer. I hope US Marshalls star the roundups soon. Let's not forget, the feds can strip a state LEO of their career by excluding them from databases and firearms licenses for interfering with Federal authorities. Only true morons are going to follow the idiot governor orders.

What?
Very perplexing thing to say.

If Biden can defy rulings from the Supreme Court why can't Abbot?

Um, are you utterly stupid? Biden heads one of the equal three branches of US Federal government. Abbot has absolutely no Federal powers and must bow to federal authority.

I'd like to see Texas start deputizing anyone that wants to assist their efforts.

If they demonstrate legal protection from the Feds, I bet they could get thousands down there to help.

They need to show they're not going to let the FBI raid people's families at 4am.


That's awesome. It will give the Federal Marshalls authority to incarcerate more idiots. Are you people that ignorant of the law? Abbott and Texas LEO/citizens have absolutely to authority here. That's what SCOTUS told them. They can likely be shot on sight for resisting federal authority.

I'd say this more than warrants militia activation. Overdue, to be honest.


I'd like to see a Texas militia against B-52s. I'm gonna make popcorn on this one!

Well, we know you are a racist from your posts. I guess we can take you at your word that you are are not in favor of an open border. I respect your opinion. Not in favor of a totally open border myself.

LOL "shot on sight for resisting federal authority".

Contrary to your desire that the U.S. is exactly like North Korea, where you WOULD be shot on sight for resisting anything they say, The USA is NOT North Korea.

Obviously Joe Biden is stupid enough to pretend he really is the reincarnation of Pol Pot and Kim Jong Un's daddy, but the US government doesn't have ANY authority to shoot anyone "on sight". Although if you help Joe Biden recruit more commies and tyrants through your open southern border, you may get your wish soon.

It would only take one trigger happy idiot to light this powder keg.



You don't seem to realize that people are on edge and it wouldn't take much to turn this into a shooting war.

Or maybe you do and just want to see Conservatives dying. You sure seem to relish the idea of "shot on sight". I can promise you one thing, if Biden goes in with force, this is not going to turn out the way you hope.

You first Tucker.

Why don't you go help the Men of Texas with erecting razor wire if it's that much of an issue to you?

The thing is he may have to come down from that lofty pedestal he has his arse sat atop, so probably not.

Yo man from everything I have read and witnessed it seems like the right wants to have a shooting war.
Hense the many responses just like yours on many threads and as a talking point on most right news sites and pundits along with politicians.
Take a good long look in the mirror.

Then your perception is wrong. Conservatives have gone out of their way to avoid violence.

But as usual, those on the Left always bring out that boogeyman of "Violent Right Wing Extremists" when they know they are in the wrong.

Liberals are like that annoying little kid in the back seat on a long trip, putting their finger an inch away and say "I'm not touching you" for hours and then yell for Mommy when they get bitch slapped.

Texas is not defying any ruling though.
The ruling only allows the feds to continue to cut it down until the lower court settles it. Even then, regardless of the final ruling, Texas can legally keep putting it up.

Think of it like a federal highway that is in disrepair. There is no law preventing the state from repairing it within their borders, but if some jackwagon wants to come in from the federal gov't and jackhammer it all back up, there may nothing they can do to stop it.

My gut tells me the feds will ultimately lose on this one, but who knows.

Maybe you misread me. It is the right always talking about a shooting war or civil war 2.0
Am I wrong about this?
I think not and proven by your original post.
Thank you for just proving my point.

It's been my observation that it's the liberals that are always talking about "the right talking about a shooting war or civil war 2.0."

I assume it makes liberals feel moraly superior to portrait the political "other" as people who kilng to their Bibles and their guns.

Then you also mis read mine. We are trying our best to avoid that very thing, but the Left keeps pushing, just like that little kid.

The Left seems to actually want things to get violent and then can point and scream "See ! See ! We told you they were Extremists ! "

Usual tactic of "accuse the other side of what you are doing "
