Fuck it we balk
Joe Biden to Greg Abbott:
- You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can’t do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can’t be over here and say to the runner, like, “I’m gonna get ya! I’m gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!” and then just be like he didn’t even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to pitch and then don’t pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there’s the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn’t typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). “get in mah bellah” – Adam Water, “The Waterboy.” Haha, classic… 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
- Do not do a balk please.
So true
The guerrilla marketing for that new film Civil War (2024) has probably been the most intensive since the time they blew up the twin towers for Remember Me (2010)
LBJ was the last Democrat with the kind of guts needed to send in the tanks
GOP will win any constitutional crisis by virtue of being the only wins willing to exercise power

Good god I want to see them roll the national guard up to the Texas capitol and arrest him but I know ol’ Joe doesn’t have the cojones
It would be really fucking funny though
This is a perfect example for Joe to prove all the libs right that he can actually stand up to right wing fascism.
What’s that, he’s not going to do a goddamn thing? Weird.
didn’t Abott recently order the Texas National Guard to bar the Border Patrol/other federal agents from parts of the state?
we need a /c/balkanize_us to catalogue this kind of news
Call it us_decline so we can discuss the crumbling foreign influence as well
SOMEONE MAKE THIS
Take Paxton too while they are at it.
Biden has given Texas a 24 hour deadline to comply or the feds will fold
If you think for one second he’s going to back those words up with literally anything I’ve got a magnificent bridge to sell you in beautiful downtown Brooklyn.
Balkanize you cowards!
Honestly just think Americans are too cowardly and well-fed to do anything like that. Same reason I knew Jan 6 would fail. They want the aesthetic of revolt but are too comfy to ever pull the trigger.
Also the reason the 2nd Amendment types who claim to hoard guns to protect against the government taking their rights never actually take up arms against the government taking away their rights.
Literally one gunshot and tens of thousand sof them immediatly went home.
And they had long guns too
Americans don’t know how to die for a cause
they die to make the line go up every single day
They don’t know about social murder
Send in the tanks, Brandon.
If he did, I’d vote for Biden. Not because I support Biden, but because I don’t think his genocide supporting ass would have the guts to turn the military against chuds.
It would solidify him as the funniest option.
The Biden Unification Wars
Conservatives: Biden is soft!
Biden: Send in tanks, hangs Abbott for treason
I wouldn’t vote for him but damn it’d be funny
Texan aristocracy is full on settler colonial batshit crazy. Clutching their queso at the though of Mexicans coming and taking their culture away.
Like Israelis, eating watered down mexican food. Constantly projecting their worry that the owners of the land they stole will come to reclaim it.
Please just send the military and arrest him. Im tired of hearing about this guy. Shoot him out of a cannon already
The only two real responses here are to do that or keep ignoring it. If the biden admin acknowledges what Texas is doing is bonkers but doesn’t follow up swiftly, it just invites a whole bunch of criticism from his opponents and his liberal base. I expect this administration to keep taking the easier option.
Biden please send in a single tank so I can start calling liberals tankies
I’m already about to do that, just gotta make a new Twitter account
It’s his turn.

What’s that first emoji?

No I keep trying to catch the drift and I just get more and more confused
oh my god lmao
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Isn’t Biden turbo charging border defense like he is with police departments?
doesnt matter, it’s all vibes-based with these people
Yes. Which liberals have acknowledged as well. He’s von Hindenburging for Trump and the GOP with his cowardice and inaction, and liberals will have you believing that he’s the harm reduction.
I was under the impression the border policy is exactly the same as Trump’s policies, did something change? Or do these fascist freaks want them gunning down anyone that passes by the border?
There is an election coming up and the republicans have been proactive in pushing this as an issue. What the actual policy is doesn’t matter, which is why trying to appease chuds from the centre is a suckers game.
Biden doesn’t make speeches about the evil illegals down at the border every two days, so he isn’t doing enough. Quiet cruelty misses the point.
I think they just kind of bitch about this stuff no matter what. Least, that’s how it’s been since I first started paying attention to this stuff during Bush Jr.
Yeah I guess, but idk it seems like they’re more violent and hateful in their rhetoric now. I probably didn’t pay much attention though
Yeah, there’s a marked escalation here. I sort of wonder if Joe’s general aura of fecklessness is giving them an opening they didn’t have under Obama or something.
please secede from the union
please secede from the union
please secede from the unionAs someone living in Texas I see so many people say this shit. Biden should have federalized the national guard yesterday and this fucking sucks.
The national guard isn’t under the authority of the national government?
Each state has regiments of national guard that are under the control of the governor of that state. The president can “federalize” the national guard putting them under his control. To further add confusion some states have State Guards that are state controlled militias.
Sorry for late reply the little bell at the top didn’t have a notification.
The federal government has gained almost complete control of the national guard over the centuries because they are masters of the purse. The most notable instance of the president federalizing troops to enforce a court order was in school integration. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas national guard and mobilized the 101st airborne to enforce the integration of the little rock nine. He did so by executive order,
"SECTION 1. I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of Defense to order into the active military service of the United States as he may deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Order, any or all of the units of the National Guard of the United States and of the Air National Guard of the United States within the State of Arkansas to serve in the active military service of the United States for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders. ".
https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Executive_Order_10730The us government also used these powers to send national guard units to Iraq and Afghanistan iirc
no more half measures walter
