I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Shit like this needs immediate reaction.
Biden refusing to take action against Texas is just emboldening them and other states.
He needs to invoke title 10, ideally ued have done it as soon as the letter was released.
It doesn’t matter what the law says if a significant amount of the guard refuse to acknowledge it.
I don’t know how anyone can believe they’ll all just do the right thing, stop overestimating conservative nutjobs
You’re calling for a civil war, you know that, right?
No, the asshats creating this mess in the first place (Abbott and the other Republican governors cheering him on) are the ones calling for Civil War. Let’s be clear about who is on what side here.
And so you think Biden should do what they want?
•Order national guard into service.
•Arrest anyone who interferes with the lawful orders he gives
•Court martial anyone who disobeys and send them to Leavenworth
It’s not rocket science, homeslice.
If you think it’s really that simple, you need to pay more attention to politics
It’s funny because it actually is that simple. Its either that or burning Sherman 2.0
It’s literally that simple. There’s zero argument it works any other way.
I did not say that. I merely pointed out that your previous comment was incorrect and that the user you responded to was not calling for Civil War. If you interpreted it as such, it’s because Abbott and the Republican governors hyping up (yet another) pointless dick measuring stunt are the ones who were quite literally mentioning Civil War as an option.
That being said, however, I don’t give a fuck what Biden does here. This is a stupid non-issue. We have real, tangible problems he should be focusing on imo. But as far as the law goes, yeah, Biden can do whatever the fuck he wants in this instance. The national guard and immigration/border enforcement is reserved as a power of the federal government. He’s the chief executive and has the legal authority to wield that power as he sees fit within the bounds of the law.
Then I guess a better way to put it would be “Biden would be accepting their offer of civil war”
And I agree it’s a stupid non-issue, which is why I am pushing back against the “just call up the national guard and arrest everyone involved” opinion.
Listen fash, you can apparently waste Florida taxpayer money in your performative bullshit as much as you want, but the second one of your goons impedes a federal officer, they are donezo & you won’t be able to do a damn thing to save them.
U.S.C. 18: 111
This statute outlines certain types of assault against a federal officer and the appropriate charges and penalties. Penalties for Assaulting or Resisting a Federal Officer A simple assault of a federal officer carries a $100,000 fine and up to one year in prison.
For example, simple assault is forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers while performing their duties. As noted, physical contact or injury is not required for a conviction.
Simple federal assault is a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to 1 year in jail and fines of up to $100,000.
(b) Enhanced Penalty.—
Whoever, in the commission of any acts described in subsection (a), uses a deadly or dangerous weapon (including a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective component) or inflicts bodily injury, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
Bold of you to assume the law will be enforced against fascists.
So the State of Florida is invading the state of texas?
Giallombardo said if the bill passed the Florida State Guard would only be deployed to other states based on mutual agreement, commenting: “They can’t just send [the guard] into somebody else’s state without the state asking or the state knowing.”
Translation: we have to normalize the concept a couple times first before we do the thing we explicitly said we wouldn’t.
Governor Babbott wants the state guards to be able to shoot migrants at will. I guess just murdering kids by letting them get skewered with razor wire and drown isn’t fast enough for him.
The time is quickly approaching when Texas will be firing on migrants and killing them without mercy right left and sideways. Mark my words.
It’s like the avengers of assholes assembling at the border.
Quickly immigrants Florida is now open!!
Cool, they can be federalized or arrested too.
Wouldn’t this count as insurrection or rebellion? Feels like there is a lot riding on the SCOTUS ruling on the 14th amendment.
When are we going to start arresting all these traitors? Letting them do whatever they want without consequences only encourages them.
Please don’t give this dipshit attention to these types of press stunts.
No, he will never do this and the only value here for him is people talking about it. That’s it, so don’t.
Ron DeSantis should be in the front lines!! Maybe they could dress him up in some extra extra tall high heels so he can see.
Please do. This is a shitshow I’ll watch with much glee.
