Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Newsmax host Carl Higbie mused Thursday about a potential āforce-on-forceā conflict between Texas and the Biden Administration after the Supreme Court ruled against the stateās Republican governor by declaring that federal agents can remove razor wire laid along the border with Mexico.
Higbie began by telling Stitt that āthereās rumblings that Joe Biden should or may actually federalize the National Guardātake that power away from Greg Abbott.ā
ā¦
Stitt called the situation, which has so far seen several migrant deaths,āvery weirdāāwhile adding that clash is currently a āpowder keg of tension.ā
āWe certainly stand with Texas on the right to defend themselves,ā he said. āBut Biden is going to be in a tough situation. So in other words, heās going to try to federalize these troopsāin other words, put them on federal orders. And so now, their allegiance technically goes to the president of the United States instead of the governor.ā
The dispute between Texas and the federal government has been compared to the situation that led President Dwight Eisenhower to federalize the Arkansas National Guardāpart of his bid to allow Black students to attend a Little Rock public high school against the wishes of the then-segregationist governor.
Can these people just not for like two fucking seconds?
The GOPās relevance is entirely based on constant fear and hate. Those fires must be tended constantly otherwise they might cool to something like apathy or worseā¦socialism. So, no the canāt not.
This is exactly why they donāt want a solution to immigration ā they profit wildly off the outrage they stoke from it
Otherwise they would have passed a border bill during Trumpās first term and not shut down the government.
Yeah, not just fear and hate but the constant presence of a threat, of panic. Always on the brink of disaster, always some horror being uncovered, always a new thrill to be shocked by.
