I’d like the news outlets to follow up on this. Next week. In two weeks. In three weeks. And how many times it takes to make it irrelevant and still prove that the original talking point is completely worthless.
They won’t. Because it’s a waste of space in the first place. I wish they’d treat it like that to begin with.
Dumb about important stuff, yeah, but this is just playing to his hate filled base since when he inevitably fails he can blame wokeness or some other conservative talking point. If you think of it as free campaigning to angry bigots it makes a lot of sense.
You see, Paxton and the GOP are the IN group and their trans victims are the OUT group!
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” --Frank Wilhoit
Just wait, this will happen with abortions too. They are testing the ground now. If a Republican ever get the white house again, they will use the feds to extradite doctors to Texas.
People need to be yelling about this until they can’t yell anymore. I don’t give a fuck if it ruins Christmas.
Yeah, this 100% feels like a trial balloon. It’s obviously ridiculous but it’s going to test some legal statute that will crack the door for whatever Gilead shit they actually intend. Probably abortion rights. First they came for the trans people, etc etc.
My heart goes out to anyone trapped in Texas or any other Gilead state.
too scared and useless to take on the gangs and criminals, so the Texas AG goes after hospitals and patients.. wonder if the Texas Rangers are gonna ride out and grab a fugitive doctor and patient..
I’ve been concerned Texas and other states would be looking for this kind of thing for abortions as well. Everyone has been telling me that this kind of thing is impossible and no one would ever try to go after a patient based on medical procedures done out of state.
I’m also concerned that Texas could issue an arrest warrant for medical personnel or people facilitating abortion travel who reside in California (for example) such that it becomes inadvisable to drive through Texas, or even have a layover.
It’s inadvisable to drive through Southern states already due to cops. They hold that the normal constitutional protections don’t apply due to the border, they have deported American citizens, they have been caught planting drugs, the vast majority of civil asset forfeitures are people who had under $1000 seized without evidence literal highway robbery.
Then there were the ladies who were legally kidnapped and taken to a hospital to have their buttholes search on a vague suspicion of drugs
Texas state troopers caught on camera probing women’s privates aren’t isolated incidents: lawyers
Basically you may or may not get raped or robbed by the police even before this unpleasantness.
But wait there’s more if you are pregnant and they believe you represent a danger to your fetus they reserve the right to hold you until you give birth in a prison shower like they did to that druggy chick!
He wants to out trans Texans so they can be harassed and assaulted by the God-loving Republicans living in Texas without getting his own hands dirty. Never mind that “Thou shalt not commit adultery” thing in the bible… you’re just taking it out of context.
