Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has told a right-wing radio host that there’s only one tool the state isn’t using to stop migrants from crossing the border into Texas: gun violence, because it would prompt a response from the pesky federal government.
“The only thing that we are not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border—because, of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” the Republican governor told former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch on her radio show last week.
Yeah that’s because it’s murder…
yeaa
“I’d totally murder people, but that evil federal government would lock me up for murder? Can you believe the audacity?!!! I really want to murder these people, but they won’t let me. Total government overreach! Whatever happened to states’ rights?”
Stupid Biden… enforcing the… checks notes …Seventh Commandment.
Isn’t that no stealing. Or do you mean the seventh amendment which is the right to trial by jury?
Interesting enough, there’s a variety of numberings applied to the commandments:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Numbering
-
‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’ or ‘Thou shalt not steal’ is commandment 7
-
‘Thou shalt not kill’ is commandment 5, 6, or 8
Edit: grammar
-
Just when I think Texas can’t be any more of an embarrassment than it already is a Texas Republican opens their mouth again.
As a Texan, I hope Ken pushes Abbot off a cliff and dives down after.
Isn’t there something in the Bible about not murdering?
Only if they’re not Christian, American-born, white, and right-leaning - other than that, the Bible states it’s “open season”. /s, just in case
Edit: I can’t tell my left hand from my right hand. They’re hands, please pardon me for my confusion.
Plus darker skin don’t count. Everyone in the Bible is pure white so those with darker skin aren’t saved
Isn’t there something in the Bible about not murdering?
They must be working to toss that rule in with the “wearing mixed fabrics in one garment” garbage bin.
In fairness, despite the Bible saying murder is wrong, there’s also a shitload of passages saying it’s right. It’s not really a piece of literature that makes a great deal of sense.
As fucked as it is, I hope someone pushes this fuck off his wheelchair.
“Let me tell you something else. I’ve seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A fucking goldbricker. This guy fucking walks.”
I’m just sayin dude
Just an accidental brake malfunction. A Mac and Me moment.
You mean an Ant-man moment.
Over a cliff.
It’s not fucked. Abbot is an unapologetic monster and a threat to all Texans. I hope he dies in a slow, horrible fashion. Ken Paxton too.
My 21 yr old daughter and i were talking about this article and I was like “I’d THIS IS SPARTA! this dickhead right down some stairs” fuck piss baby Abbott.
Then he can show us how to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!
It’s a shame the tree didn’t do a better job
This guy is unhinged
It’s much worse than that - he’s accurately assessed what his voters want to hear.
Just standard repub shit.
I thought the Bible was the only thing keeping Texans from killing people, but apparently it’s Joe Biden.
From now on this is going to be my response if a Christian asks me what’s preventing my atheist self from doing all the murdering I want.
“That pesky Joe Biden.”
I’d shoot Abbott if I could, but it’s immoral, and I’d get charged with murder, so I won’t.
Is that how that goes? We can say that as long as we admit we won’t do it because of the repercussions? Oh wait, this racist white racist trash is just pissed at the repercussions and not the immorality of the act. Fuck this peg leg piece of shit.
Imagine if mexico started mowing down americans travelling across the border. Or canada shooting americans at the border
Or Coloradans shooting Texans at the Oklahoma border.
That little panhandle that Texas had to cede in order to join the union as a slave state could be the DMZ.
A boy can dream, I suppose.
As an Okie, I support the shootings, on sight, of Texans
So he’s saying that Biden cares about the Constitution and assholes like Abbott do not?
Damn this man is evil af.
Even the trees hate this asshole
Omg I choked on my Diet Coke.
Will Christian Conservative Republicans like Abbott ever recognize that killing goes against their Gods Commandments? It seems these bloodthirsty degenerates conveniently overlook it.
They twist the bible into what fits their agenda and ignore everything that doesn’t. They are not good people.
Thump more than read
Supply side Jesus condones these things.
These people will literally apply the death penalty for jaywalkers as long as the jaywalker is "them* (i.e. non white l, male, or just someone they slightly disagree with) and then scream online about how theyre protected from censorship by the first amendment.
It’s so Christian to want to do that to poor people but to not do it to prevent legal trouble. Like Jesus said once in almost every page of that playbook…speed holes!
