If you thought their surprise attack was a success, wait til you see how it goes when they announce it ahead of time.
This ought to be good.
-
This is what happens when you call the 1/6 insurrectionists “tourists” and/or give them light sentences. Throw the book at these fuckers each and every time.
-
Maybe they're just mispronouncing the word "terrorist", they aren't the most educated folk ya know. They did give those terrorists too light a sentence anyway.
-
-
I wish some of the Mexican drug cartels would show up there at the same time, and then all the assholes in both countries could just finish each other off and leave the rest of us alone.
-
Please....the cartels would wipe out meal-team-six in minutes and keep going.
Actual murderers who are trained in violence versus stupid cosplayers.
-
The stupid cosplayers still have the means to murder unarmed, desperate civilians for the crime of being born on the wrong bit of dirt with the wrong amount of melanin.
That's why they're going. We don't need to politely pretend that the people who kill children for ringing their doorbell or accidentally getting in their car aren't just looking for any excuse to kill someone with their cool guns.
-
-
Something tells me the cartels aren't too concerned about these "border protections". Why would they get involved? In fact, the whole thing works out pretty well for them as a distraction.
-
I would be cheering for the cartels in this scenario
-
That would be awesome for sure.
-
Mexican drug cartels: the heros we need and not the ones we deserve
-
-
A retired US Army lieutenant colonel is organizing an armed convoy next week to the Texas border to, he says, hunt down migrants
takes Green Beret courage to hunt down orphans and mothers in dire circumstances i guess.. is that the kind of courage they teach at Army Ranger School nowadays..
-
Ask the Iraqi civilians.
-
"How could you shoot civilians?"
- I just less then less.
-
-
-
Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn't have to deal with this stupid shit.
-
The fact that the fairly drama-free Obama years are probably the best (or least insane) I'll see in my lifetime is incredibly depressing. These miserable, deranged lunatics and terrorists are determined to make life hell for everyone else, too.
-
-
They're so eager for a civil war that they want to start one next week?
-
I'm just surprised they want to ruin their Superbowl parties learning the same lesson as their loser Confederate idols.
-
What Super Bowl parties? They're probably Cowboys fans....
-
They really should have planned better and combined this with the War on Christmas.
-
-
The sooner the better. How else will you make sure we have a white Christian nationalists government before the election.
-
the main Take Back Our Border channel now has over 1,000 members
sounds like they're practically ready to go
-
Definitely. 1000 vs 340 million people
-
-
-
Is Russia paying for this one like the one in Canada too?
-
When the attack the feds, let them suffer the consequences.
-
Why is it so common to blame those poorer, weaker, and more desperate than you for your problems. Yes live probably has gotten worse, and obvious problems are not being solved, but migrants are the last people to blame. It’s such a destructive tendency, and it’s sad to see the same mistake happening again and again.
-
The worst bit? The people most mad have the most in common with the migrants: low job security, lack of healthcare, food insecurity... if the people flying their Trump flags high would take just one second to look at themselves and at the rest of us they'd realize the enemy isn't people, it's unchecked capitalism.
And on that, I bet we actually agree. I just don't want to fix it with a side of hurting people who are different than me, that's all.
-
Because the border policy here is "fuck them brown people"
-
It's the result of manipulation from the true evil actors, those in the billionaire class.
-
Well it definitely isn't new. The oppressed strike down.
-
-
should be pretty easy to round up and incarcerate if they coagulate like that
-
That relies on the government actually doing something to stop them. Something its shown countless times it’s afraid to do.
-
not afraid, not with that military budget.
they agree with the far right nutjobs. or rather they serve them a purpose.
-
-
Fat cells do have a tendency to "glom", as it were.
-
-
Send in an A-10 and let it feed.
-
All this shit keeps going because they didn't arrest all those morons taking over the wild life refuge years ago. It encouraged this crazy take on us military ideology. This is going to end very badly one day.
-
Oh look, the gravy seals are out waving guns around trying to intimidate people again.
It's almost like the slap on the wrists these guys receive only emboldens them to keep doing it.
-
They bringing extra batteries for their rascals? It's quite far.
-
What are rascals? Are those like tamagotchis?
-
-
rascals are electric wheelchairs
-
-
-
Lets get them all there then give Texas back to Mexico.
-
Unfortunately Texas has a really large chunk of US oil reserves. I don't see the US letting the actual land of Texas go, let alone giving it to Mexico.
-
-
LOL wait til they realize they're just shutting themselves off from receiving economic benefits. Really trying to fast track Texas' isolation. Good - they can support their own now. Stop expecting shit from California and other states. No one wants to visit the Alamo, where another force of volunteers failed. No one really wants to move there they just have to due how cheap all the dusty flat shit they call land is. The weather is garbage.
-
Brexit moment.
-
-
Fox "News" doesn't even have to roll out the ever terrifying "migrant caravan" this election season.
-
the war on drugs is running dry so they need a new fake war.
-
Don't worry, not a single one of them is going to miss work.
-
Or a single meal
-
Shit is Frito-Lays and Budweiser ready for this? We are going to have a thousand people whose primary diet is junk food and the cheapest of all beer in the desert at once. I don't envy the Circle-K district manager.
-
-
-
It would be a shame if another cold spell hit that area of the country while that convoy was there. Imagine being in the middle of the desert as your fuel supplies run out while the temperature is freezing… Yep real shame.
-
Good. They'll all be in the same spot when the Insurrection Act kicks off.
Much easier to round them up that way.
-
Ahh yes the ol we can't let terriost in so we've become terriost strategy.
-
Isn't this the start of blood meridian?
-
What could go wrong?
-
I'd hate to see what it would do to the local mexican people but pushing them past the border and locking them out would be hilarious
-
It'd be the best thing ever if they got tangled up on that razor wire.
-
Or they started shooting each other. I don't think they will fit the description of "A Well Regulated Militia"
-
-
Hilarious, maybe. But the US really can't deny entry to its citizens. But they can push a ton of bureaucracy on them (how many of them will have their passport on them?) and even immediately arrest them upon re-entry.
-
-
I hope they stay there
-
Great. Get them all together and drop a single 500 pound bomb.
