bit idea: dropping dozens of time-delayed firecrackers in the area
You reminded me of this scene from Wind River where local cops stand off with federally contracted security https://youtu.be/MK_edxQ5awc?si=t8zM1wD8ivqUXwf2
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Very unlikely. For one, border patrol isn't big enough or well armed enough. They're cops, this will go to the courts.
Honestly? Whether you're a troublemaker or a foreign intelligence agency, just do some corny Tom Clancy shit. Forge documents that imply some kind of escalation (threats from the other side), then quietly distribute them to whichever side's more likely to attack first. Once the ball's rolling, it'd be hard to stop
You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this.
Can we expect DOJ to sue Texas over this?
Even if they win, what if Texas just doesn’t pay? What’s the judge gonna do? Wag their finger at Abbot?
Or perhaps tweet at him
Send a tepidly worded letter
There's a lot the feds can do. Highway funding, school funding.
I would certainly not look forward to the 6-3 decision about the federal authority to do this
True, true. I wonder if open sedition would get Joe to move against the court. I really can't make sense of him. His love of evil is tied to some kind of pathetic worship of the American Civic Religion but I don't understand where the lines are drawn
Biden is such a fucking ineffective shit god I hate him and hope he dies
There's a tailor-made solution for Biden: federalize the national guard and arrest any politican who still gets in the way. Eisenhower did it in Arkansas.
I’d be jailing all these CHUD governors. Sedition, human trafficking, hate speech, lock em up. If the chudges try to start shit lock them up too
Wow it looks like the border patrol is woke and needs to be taken care of. Patriots in control now.
Me doing A/B testing where I blame the border patrol for being too woke to one room of Texans and blame the national guard for being too woke to another room of Texans
Our research shows that viewers are more likely to blame the national guard for being too woke near the holidays whereas border patrol gets blamed for being too woke consistently on weekends
Texas being the fourth front in the anti-imperialist struggle is unexpected, but not unwelcome.
you do not in fact have to hand it to them
American warlord era and it’s just Texas being controlled by dozens of cliques run by the Bush’s, oil barons, suburban mall cops, and Whattaburger chains
May the whuttyaburrger chains win, amen
The burger always reigns supreme in Amerikkka
Inshallah
Holding out hope for one absurdly tiny red enclave to pull a Mao on the warlords and have it remembered as the strategic miracle of the century
Their names? Austin Red Guards
don't forget the mormons, the polygamy ones have sects there.
Liberal democracy is such a fucking farce.
Literally nothing from the Trump's admin's border policy changed when Biden went to office, they drum up outrage over nothing. It's really annoying that it works too, because the hogs are convinced that the USA is being flooded with 
while the libbest of libs think they've done anything to improve human rights for migrants, when it's actually become worse.
Maybe they can just rename it to Fort Sumter Park to make themselves perfectly clear?
So that’s, like, treason, right?
Yes it is. And if the liberals decide to punish them, it will take 17 years and the result will be everyone pays $500 and they get new careers anyway
it will take 17 years and the result will be everyone pays $500
By which point the amount will be just barely enough for a week's groceries
Sedition. Treason is material aid and comfort to the enemy.
the law is fake
Oh don’t get me wrong I only mean that Greg Abbott should be executed, I don’t actually care about “treason”
Damn
yeeeeesssss, fight yourself, america! tear yourself apart! 
It was made apparent to me recently that i have an out for this shithole, thank fucking god
