Somebody way down there ⬇️ might already have posted this. In 1957, after the Arkansas governor ordered the National Guard to prevent nine Black students from entering a Little Rock high school, President Eisenhower issued an executive order federalizing the ANG and sent troops from the 101st Airborne to protect the students and allow them to enter the school. Eisenhower was a Republican.
When I teach the Civil Rights movement, I always highlight the Little Rock Nine. I use the old PBS series "Eyes on the Prize" besides our reading. The kids (high school) really get it.
The US Mexico border is an international border. As such, the governor of a State has no authority. What's the argument? Abbot is interfering with Federal jurisdiction and should be arrested forthwith.
"I signed a law making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country."
United Airlines might be a bit disturbed to hear that. According to Wikipedia the IAH airport handles United flights to:

oh heavens to Betsy, not profanity here on Wonkette. Say it is not so, lest I fall into a swoon!
And were your oh so tender sensibilities shocked by bad language? Do you think you will, in time, recover? Or should we call a wahmbulance for you, the staff at most E.R.s are perfectly happy to set aside the bloodied, the seriously ill and the overdoses to attend a delicate flower, a very snowflake such as yourself.
stupid motherfucker, go home, you fucking well don't belong here.
"... law making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country" So, I can't enter the Us through George Bush International Airport? And, I guess that also means, no exports, given the truckers are going to be entering from another country.
i feel like the states bordering texas should put razor wire and barriers across the roads leading out of texas and see how they like it, but that is immature and petty which we don't do here
Roll some armed and fully staffed Bradley Fighting Vehicles up there and see how these Texas National Guard shit stains deal with that. The next time we have a civil war against these assholes we need to make Sherman look like a humanitarian
I donno. I wouldn't image the residents of Eagle Pass are particularly ok with this nonsense. Pretty solidly Democratic in its voting preference., as is Maverick County.
The Old Testament is rife with commands from god to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing, as well as this delightful imprecation against one of their myriad enemies, “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”
Ethereal Nathalie, Let’s go to Paris. I wish I hadn’t just gotten a haircut that sucks though.
When we left Austin the day after the 2016 Election, we said this:
“Goodbye, Austin; we’re going to miss you; best of luck. Fuck you, Texas.”
Well, not all of us are cut out for the fight. Hope you’re well.
Eisenhower waged war on fascists, quite the opposite of Abbott.
Mastriano is a nightmare. He's a lunatic as well as a big fat liar. Josh was my county commissioner and he's simply a really decent man.

So when will Abbot declare secession?
Effectively he already has.

Evan Hurst is a foul-mouthed, insult bully that is a disgrace to Wonkette. If he can't tempter his profanity, he needs to go.

It is "Temper" darling, and Evan is a big reason we all subscribe. Also, this article is by Gary, not Evan.
Oh, grow up
I believe you may have some misconceptions about what qualifies someone to be a writer at Wonkette.
I cordially invite you, beb, to fuck off with a rusty, unlubed chainsaw.
beb, are you OK? Do you need us to contact a relative or friend?
This isn't one of his posts, for fuck's sake.
Fuck you, assmouth

That would just help Texass enforce it's draconian abortion laws so I vote no.
i didn't say it was a GOOD idea
It’s amazing the shit right wingers get away with in this country that would get other citizens arrested or killed.
> ... like some sort of hugely racist Riggs and Murtaugh duo.
FWIW, in Lethal Weapon 4, they help (illegal!!!) Chinese immigrants.

Are Sherman tanks still a thing? Because I think they would be a good symbolic thing in this situation.
I'm glad Josh Shapiro is my governor and not whatever the fuck this Texas creature is.
Yep, we sure dodged the bullet in the last governor's race here in PA. We could have had the nightmare of Mastriano.
Greg Abbott should ask his pastor if his professed God has any thoughts on murdering people. Or commands, even.
The Old Testament is rife with commands from god to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing, as well as this delightful imprecation against one of their myriad enemies, “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”
Rightwing Jesus was a 6'3" white, blond, blue-eyed AR-15 wielding asshole.
with a bad attitude and a mouth full of Red Man. They say he could spit around corners, and from Mt. Sinai to Hebron.
