why is he pointing half a pair of tailor's scissors stage left? Is this some sort of weird "The Alamo" mashup with "Kill La Kill"?

Ta, Dok. Very nasty buoys, indeed.

No A-10 for Abbott, but he’s welcome to douse his cock in A-1 steak sauce and slap a rabid badger with it. And no, we don’t need no stinking badgers.

What we got here is a failure to fumigate.

"Which in this case he has not got."

You have to love a political blogger who sneaks in a reference to "Naming of Parts"!

A reply I made got blanked out...is this working?

Nah, substack just not update itself, sheesh

It's so nice that Texas has nothing better to spend its money on.

Sure, the power grid will just magically heal itself!

And those prisoners will just build their own A/C units. And those fertilizer plants will just blow themselves up. Wait, no, that last one is realistic.

Asylum seekers are entering the country legally. They are not “undocumented”.

Demonizing asylum seekers is a first step in whatever plans Republicans have to end legal immigration.

The christofascists goal is to establish immigrants as second class humans with limited constitutional rights and protections.

Dobbs has already established different rights for women and men.

Other groups are next.

Except for the Christofascists who are in the Central American countries encouraging them to come.

I like the Flatland Abbott a lot better than this one here.

It’s twaddle, flummery, and poppycock, is what it is.”

In other words, Thomas and Alito will go all in for it.

With a nod to R. Lee Ermey, I think Dok could have finished with a flourish: "twaddle, flummery, poppycock, and grabasstic amphibian shit."

*Mister* Younger, if you're nasty.

Texans can't lynch black people anymore, so this is the best they got.

🎶 We shall gather at the river,

Killing children as they ford

Snagging mother's on the barbed wire

Done in the name of the Lord.

Shall we gather at the river

The beautiful, beautiful river.

Yes let's gather at the river

Where cruelty is its own reward.🎶

I remember reading about how when Alabama's governor, George Wallace, was breaking federal law by obstructing Black students from entering the University of Alabama, Attorney General Bobby Kennedy quickly got a court order, and sent hundreds of US Marshals to enforce the law.

It took days to do that but now it looks like this will drag on for years, while Abbott's crap floats on the Rio Grande.

Extra rant from an actual secessionist, we're the ones who have been consistently in favor of more or less liberal trade and immigration policies toward Mexico and Canada. That's one more of many reasons why actual local autonomy is the LAST thing the reactionary right wants.

Robyn's avatar

They want one central authority. Very Stalinist.

Somehow it's fitting that the AI decided that Abbot would use his sword as a middle finger.

"He didn’t even ask for a single strafing run by an A-10, although we suspect the idea occurred to him."

May have. He doesn't know shit. A-10's not the right tool. For this job, you want Apache gunships. They bring the fear of god. Isn't the Abbott a godly man? A true Christian?

JustDontSayDittos's avatar

Really, Huey's would be good enough here. At least until someone gives the river-crossers a rocket launcher.

Tetman Callis's avatar

But the issue is Abbott's manhood. Would Hueys really give him the necessary lift?

JustDontSayDittos's avatar

Who can say? It's hard to know what gets that guy going.

...and now I need brain bleach.
