Where does this loser get off? We need laws to stop this kind of veiled insurrection. Trump lost all POTUS power by the will of the American people. Biden needs to remind him, and media need to ignore him or bring these shenanigans to the light.
"Trump calls for states to deploy National Guard to Texas amid border feud"
Heading into the 2018 midterms, Trump tried to do the same thing: Create a border crisis and campaign on the (invented) issue that scary brown people were invading.
It didn't work in 2018 (the Republicans lost) and I am sure it won't work again.
The idea that it work will comes from being inside an information ecosystem (or bubble): They can use it to rile their base, so they think it will rile everyone.
#Trump’s ascendancy has stood in the way of many ambitious right-wing politicians’ hopes of being #POTUS, #Texas’ #Abbott among them. Donny takes up ALL the air. This is how Greg intends to cement his bona fides as a #MAGA allie, and it ain’t like it won’t work, regardless of the outcome. “Hell on wheels!,” my #Texan neighbor proudly calls him.
Legal experts and members of Congress have started to urge President Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard, which Governor Greg Abbott is using to defy federal law and a #U.S. Supreme Court ruling while continuing to obstruct federal agents from accessing the #border.
"The fact that four votes went in Texas' favor is a worrying sign," said one advocate.
Immigrant rights advocates and legal experts on Monday applauded as the #U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Texas officials cannot impede federal border agents from cutting down razor wire that #Republican Gov. Greg #Abbott installed near the Rio Grande to stop migrants and asylum-seekers from crossing.
#SCOTUS sided w/ the #Biden admin on Mon & cleared the way for #border patrol agents to remove #RazorWire#Texas ofcls installed along a busy stretch of the southern border until the legality of the barriers is resolved in court.
4 conservatives — Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito, Neil #Gorsuch & Brett #Kavanaugh — noted their dissents w/o explanation.
"By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration could take down Gov. Greg Abbott’s floating razor-wire migrant death traps along the border."
🤦🏻♀️ The attorney general of #Texas on Wednesday defied federal officials who demanded state authorities abandon a public park along the U.S.-#Mexico border that state National Guard soldiers seized last week, setting up a legal showdown with the Biden administration over the country's immigration policies.
