Greg Abbott
Following news that when people were demonstrating in front of the White House, Donald Trump seriously asked why he couldn’t order that they be shot (but only in the legs!), Greg Abbott has decided that Texas can and should declare war on Mexico.
The governor of Texas is considering an incendiary plan to declare the record surge of illegal migration at the US southern border an “invasion” and invoke war powers to tackle the crisis in a direct challenge to the federal government.
There’s only the slight problem that Texas doesn’t have an army. Or a well regulated militia for that matter. Hell, the University of Texas doesn’t have much of a football team this year so I wouldn’t count on any linemen to hold the front line.
Come on, Mexico today, Oklahoma tomorrow?
Abbott could get himself one of those Supreme Leader outfits and a 15 gallon cowboy hat with a big ole star on it and a solar panel so it lights up in the dark. He could replace his wheelchair with a chariot and a couple of feral hogs to pull it. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be aquamarine with envy. Hell, Honey, DeSantis couldn’t even take Mississippi. I’ve got a crisp $20 bill that says Florida couldn’t even beat Mississippi in a spelling bee. But Texas, bygawd, can go to war alone and afraid against Mexico.
Day and night, the Governor ain’t bright, Deep in the heart of Texas.
