What the hell is wrong with Texas? They keep electing this guy as Governor for some reason and he just continues to defy the federal gubmint in some sort of weird way to impress Tex out in Lubbock. Abbott is perfectly fine with drowned women, men and children washing up on the shore of the Rio Grande. As long as they're brown that is. Despite being ordered to stand down and remove razor wire in the water Abbott has decided to go all Orval Faubus and Ross Barnett and George Wallace in, what year is this, 2024. The Confederacy is alive and well as Republican governors like Jim Pillen (Child Starver-Ne), Kristi Noem (Eye Batter-SD) Kim Reynolds (Screecher-Ia) Mark Gordon (Who?-Wy) and others from Deep South Confederate states like North Dakota, Idaho and Montana jump on the Confederate bandwagon. Hell, maybe next Pillen and Noem can stand in the schoolhouse door to keep the transgenders and gays out.
As long as Abbott refuses to allow the Border Patrol to do their job and mobilized the Texas National Guard to keep the Border Patrol out, he's breaking the law. Oh, I know that there's a certain number of wingnuts who think the 10th Amendment gives states the right to defy federal law, but those people are not serious people.
What should happen? Joe Biden needs to nationalize the Texas Guard as Eisenhower did in 1957 and JFK did back in 1963 and make them stop breaking the law. There's no doubt that MAGA has infiltrated police forces, the Border Patrol and the various Guards and they may not take kindly to defying their orange hero but if they refuse arrest their asses, including Wheels Abbott, a truly loathsome individual.
Do it Joe. This is your time.

Wish they would just secede already. If not we should give ten back to Mexico
Nationalize the guard. President Biden should then deploy them for winter training at Fort Drum.
We have plenty of federal troops to use for hurricane dury in Texas. We need to take Abbott militia away from him.
Be aware Abbot is using the *Texas* Guard. They are his personal 'brown shirts'. It's unclear if Biden has the legal authority to nationalize them.
