6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I’ve not heard of it before

      I think anyone who thinks this assasination of Franz Ferdinand is going to cause a great war needs to step outside for at least 3 hours. Screenshot this comment and feel free to @ me in 2-6 months when the current state of affairs has led nowhere.

        this comparison’s even more ridiculous than the Ukraine one - are you really trying to say that Texas refusing to the let federal agents access the border is equivalent to the leader of a country getting assassinated by a separatist and subsequently drawing its allies & enemies into an 5 year long international war across half a continent…Greg Abbott’s the new Wilhelm II and Florida is obviously the Ottoman Empire. Makes sense to me!!!

            angry-hex thanks to you I’ve been sitting here for the past 30 minutes imagining a Ben Garrison style comic where the US/Mexico border is drawn sitting in a Gräf & Stift 28 with a bloody hole through it while Greg Abbott, drawn like Wilhelm II (labeled Texas) does the liberty-weeping in one corner and in the other there’s this:

      It might be obvious in hindsight, but everyone at the time thought it wasn’t going to happen… until it did.
