My guess is that he won the midterms by a slimmer margin than he’d like, and he’s trying to gain support from hard-line conservatives. (I suspect the decision to pass constitutional carry in TX had similar motivations.)
Either that, or the white hats got ahold of him. Either way, I’ll take it.
Don't forget the launching of the vote fraud investigations in Harris county. This election just showed how close Texas is about to fall. Its time for action hopefully its not too late
My theory:
From 2016 to 2020 Trump was the main character behind securing the border and during the past two years invoking any "radical" measures could cost Abbot the midterms as it did Kari Lake (AZ district 7, basically the AZ border went dark blue).
Sure, but I think the theory presented is perhaps Abbott was playing a little more to not get it stolen from him because he's RINO, but now he's showing he might be flipped?
Well az border towns, enjoy your blueness. Cause all the illegals will storm your lovely quiet towns, and while u beg your governor for help, she will just scoff.
to simple of a solution...they dont take breaks, dont call in sick, dont bitch about working conditions, dont call everyone racist or homofobes and ........love mexican.
Seriously. Why have we not started relocating gators from Florida to the rio grande? We could start a gofundme and pay per gator released in RG. Turn that baby into the deadliest river in the world. Throw in some Piranhas and Bull Sharks for good measure.
I personally love a good "wheels" joke, Abbot touted the line too much with the pandemic and deserves the ridicule of RINO assumptions until his track record proves otherwise, and even then we must remain suspect!
I think Gov Abbott has it right. The word migrant refers to someone who moves to other places in search of work or better living conditions. The word immigrant refers to those who have moved to foreign countries permanently for work or for better living conditions.
These are Illegal Immigrants who what to use up all of our social services and get that sweet free Tax Payer cash.
moves to other places in search of work or better living conditions
moved to foreign countries permanently for work or for better living conditions
Almost no difference between your two definitions, the second of which is incorrect because it leaves out the concept of moving elsewhere LEGALLY. Immigration is a legal process. Only when you do it legally are you an immigrant.
The term "illegal immigrant" is a leftist-created, thought-control term designed to hypnotize and persuade normal people to view illegal aliens as "immigrants".
That way, we patriots can all be ridiculed, marginalized, and demonized for "hating immigrants." When in reality, we just hate illegal migration and are the ones in favor of LEGAL immigration (a redundancy: again, immigration by definition is a LEGAL process).
U know, i am ok with that. Go ahead abbot. Steal thunder.
<now looking at you lake>
Lets go lake, ur win is/has been stolen. Do something about it, you told the country in your press conferences you are ready
I've said it before and I will say it again: "you will know a tree by the fruit it bears."
Abbot has to be very careful, because Texans are quite literally ready for succession and violence in the streets. Getting them through election fraud and cleaning up Texas without violence is a delicate, surgical operation.
The proof is in the pudding though, the attempt to turn Texas blue fizzled dramatically and it's prosecuted more fraud than any other state. The state is moving right harder and faster than anywhere else, except maybe Florida. If you have ever been to Houston or Austin, you know how hard that is. Those places are DEEP swamp, and voted straight D since that party was formed.
Abbot has more going on then people realize, it's just quiet.
I could be wrong, I'll admit it. South Texas, San Antonio. We lived there of and on for more than 40 years and I never heard any one discuss that. We're a military family, though, so maybe that's not something we would hear. We did live at Laughlin, near Del Rio, for a year. Where were you?
He does not need to GTFO. Modern secession efforts have existed in the state at least since the 1990s and focused first on the Republic of Texas organization as well as the Texas Nationalist Movement. Recent discussions between Texas Republican Party representatives renewed talks of secession after the decision of the Supreme Court in Texas v. Pennsylvania, which declined to hear the case regarding attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election due to lack of standing.[
That's a looooong path, but man inflation was killing both the restaurant and tech industries in Houston, which are like the only two things liberals do for money.
Between that and the Twitter purge of bots removing their echo chambers and false sense of majority, the love for the dem party has iced over.
A ton of hardcore Dems I know are basically confused independents now.
The 'foreign countries' party bears this out. That said, he is claiming that if falls under his authority using the invasion clauses of the US constitution, so it's worth looking into that.
By not securing the border, the federal government has nullified itself. The states have a right, no a duty, to take EVERY action to secure the rights of their people.
The foreign government bullet point did raise my eyebrow.
Enumerated Powers:
The federal government is given powers that allow it to deal with foreign nations. The federal government can regulate commerce with foreign nations, set the value of foreign money, make treaties, appoint ambassadors and consuls, control immigration, and declare war. To prevent the states from interfering in foreign affairs, the Constitution prevents the states from entering into treaties or agreements with foreign nations.
If he would issue a blanket deputizing statement against foreign invaders (foreign to texas and/or the US) there are a couple of million of us who could handle things in less than a week and have a lot more to be thankful about next week
Will believe it when it actually gets locked down. Abbott has flip flopped between patriot and rino more times than I can remember. The migrants always find a way through
Is the is where we fight. Are we all ne def. I will go for free. If ex military can fight for Ukraine I am sure I can fight for Texas can I call Texas my castle and use deadly force against any invader?
Abbott is all about political winds, Kari Lake said she was going to show Texas how to lock down a border and he is just reacting to her statement, he is a follower. Nothing about him says leader. I can’t stand the RINO a- hole. He was for mask mandates early on and then changed his mind after Texas conservatives blew up his phone & email. Unfortunately for Texas Abbott had a massive campaign war chest. He did beat Beto, but a dead person could do that! After saying all that our speaker of the house is controlled by Globohomo’s which include Abbott. House speaker Phelan needs to be neutered and replaced by a true conservative. Phelan has given Democrats positions of power and they control him. Our AG has his hands tied when it comes to prosecuting election fraud. Texas needs election integrity laws to weed out the leftist AG’s in our biggest counties Harris (Houston, Dallas, bexar ( San Antonio), Travis ( Austin) & El Paso which are all blue.If you are in Texas please write your state Representative and demand they replace speaker Phelan!
About time!
Is this real life!?!
It IS HAPPENING!
Yeah ... it's kind of a big deal.
deploy gun boats
I got my bass boat ready
DS about unleash their worst in all directions. We are going into the storm head on. Clench those ass cheeks. Batten down the hatches. HERE WE GO!
YEEEHAWWW!
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a MIL sting..
no escape from the habbenings
Maga, just killed a plan..
Put a gun up to their foot, pulled the trigger now they're screwed
The MSM lies..
caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Tanks too!
https://qanon.pub/#1111
Might be happening
It's funny that Gov. Abbot began his first term as Governor in 2015, and now 8 years later he will begin his 3rd term as Governor in 2023...
... and NOW securing the border is important? Somehow looking into election fraud just became important?
Why weren't these things important during the past 8-years, Greg?
Abbot is being leveraged. These moves have Trump written all over them.
Even better
Yep ! Light a fire and smoke em' out
My guess is that he won the midterms by a slimmer margin than he’d like, and he’s trying to gain support from hard-line conservatives. (I suspect the decision to pass constitutional carry in TX had similar motivations.)

Don't forget the launching of the vote fraud investigations in Harris county. This election just showed how close Texas is about to fall. Its time for action hopefully its not too late
Someone is making him do it
Mmmhm.
My theory: From 2016 to 2020 Trump was the main character behind securing the border and during the past two years invoking any "radical" measures could cost Abbot the midterms as it did Kari Lake (AZ district 7, basically the AZ border went dark blue).
JFC, Kari Lake didn't "LOSE" the election. It was STOLEN from her, in plain sight.
This. And anything else is shill territory.
I agree however there could be something to AZ-7 going blue that is pertinent outside of election fraud
poster should have said that soros and the mexican cartels went all in to block lake by stealing like never before.
Sure, but I think the theory presented is perhaps Abbott was playing a little more to not get it stolen from him because he's RINO, but now he's showing he might be flipped?
Because of her firm stance on the border they took away AZ 7 from her. I didn't say she lost fren.
Well az border towns, enjoy your blueness. Cause all the illegals will storm your lovely quiet towns, and while u beg your governor for help, she will just scoff.
Texas "detour" signs pointing west.
get ya about 50 gators put a border patrol vest on them and let em loose in the rio grand......see how fast this shit stops....
Gators in the Rio Grande sounds like the perfect defense, why have we not relocated some there already!?!?
to simple of a solution...they dont take breaks, dont call in sick, dont bitch about working conditions, dont call everyone racist or homofobes and ........love mexican.
Seriously. Why have we not started relocating gators from Florida to the rio grande? We could start a gofundme and pay per gator released in RG. Turn that baby into the deadliest river in the world. Throw in some Piranhas and Bull Sharks for good measure.
It just makes good fiscal sense, cmon Texas!!
Do you have any idea what the union benefits for alligators look like? I can't imagine the negotiations that would take.
No idea but I know some democrats who would love to try!
"Deploy gun boats" LOVE IT. Europe needs to do this too, BIG time.
The Euro faggots are fucked.
Le Faggots
Le Faget.
Finally. Just don’t let John Kerry near the gunboats.
😮
makes me even more excited for Trump announcement
This might be related, if the announcement tonight is about what we think it is...
My thought as well.
Dont you love it when things like that happen 😃
At least sauce your stuff: https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1592553350129909762
Good news!
Abbott for President and DeSantis or Nikki Haley for VP....yeh! /s
Abbott is a real stand-up guy. 😂😂
Stop down voting this. It's funny because it's true. Stop thinking like a liberal about humor.
I personally love a good "wheels" joke, Abbot touted the line too much with the pandemic and deserves the ridicule of RINO assumptions until his track record proves otherwise, and even then we must remain suspect!
I put the /s sarcasm too….my point is…there are many people who could run for POTUS…none should other than GEOTUS… Flavor of the month: Ron
Humorless people are not exclusive to dems as I had originally thought.
In 2028

You meant "repel & turn back MIGRANTS."
Simple stuff. You're the governor FFS. Get this shit straight:
Immigration is a LEGAL process. If you haven't gone through the LEGAL process to immigrate, you aren't a fucking IMMIGRANT.
Immigrants are here LEGALLY.
Trespassing is a CRIME. If you're here ILLEGALLY, it means you're a CRIMINAL MIGRANT.
If you've crossed two or more national borders to get here, then BY DEFINITION, you aren't a fucking REFUGEE or ASYLUM SEEKER.
You're just an ILLEGAL ALIEN, or CRIMINAL MIGRANT. We're full. Get. The fuck. OUT.
How hard is this to grasp, really?
I think Gov Abbott has it right. The word migrant refers to someone who moves to other places in search of work or better living conditions. The word immigrant refers to those who have moved to foreign countries permanently for work or for better living conditions. These are Illegal Immigrants who what to use up all of our social services and get that sweet free Tax Payer cash.

I see he is trying to steal Kari Lake's thunder here. I guess better late than never though.
U know, i am ok with that. Go ahead abbot. Steal thunder. <now looking at you lake> Lets go lake, ur win is/has been stolen. Do something about it, you told the country in your press conferences you are ready

I'm a Texan. No one is talking about seccession that I know. edit to remove cursing
How about secession? :)
What part of Texas? I did pipeline out that way and heard it all the time.
Pipeliners are a pretty hard ass sample set though.
I could be wrong, I'll admit it. South Texas, San Antonio. We lived there of and on for more than 40 years and I never heard any one discuss that. We're a military family, though, so maybe that's not something we would hear. We did live at Laughlin, near Del Rio, for a year. Where were you?

Hmm well you might be right but no one that I know is talking about it. How about you provide some sauce along with your indignation?
Hopefully the commies in Austin and Houston will move to ice blue areas because Texas will become too toxic for them
No shit, they are being converted red.
That's a looooong path, but man inflation was killing both the restaurant and tech industries in Houston, which are like the only two things liberals do for money.

No need TX,,,, open borders Katie Hobbs will solve your problem for you.
What bullshit. This should've been done on Day 1!
Awesome rhetoric. Hope it’s matched by action.
sounds like the storm has arrived
Note to those in Arizona trying to beat Kari. You can't kill an idea by stuffing ballot boxes.
And this comes just hours before DJT's "big announcement." Hmmm...
Mighty bold of you, cotton. Almost like you feel really safe in doing this. Because you know what is fixing to go down.
NICE.
🔥🔥🔥
Fuck yeah.
Oooooh HELLLL YESSSS
Why just now?
By entering into agreements with other states and countries he has violated the US constitution. We are now independent!
The 'foreign countries' party bears this out. That said, he is claiming that if falls under his authority using the invasion clauses of the US constitution, so it's worth looking into that.
By not securing the border, the federal government has nullified itself. The states have a right, no a duty, to take EVERY action to secure the rights of their people.

How do ya like that.
Damn.
Sounds to me like he's detethering Texas from the federal system.
Texas is cutting it's strands from the federal rope. When manure meets fan, Texas won't miss a beat.
If he would issue a blanket deputizing statement against foreign invaders (foreign to texas and/or the US) there are a couple of million of us who could handle things in less than a week and have a lot more to be thankful about next week
Regular people could have and should have been doing this from 500 yards.
Will believe it when it actually gets locked down. Abbott has flip flopped between patriot and rino more times than I can remember. The migrants always find a way through
For all the "patriots" who have been complaining that Abbot was weak. Enjoy eating your words.
Is the is where we fight. Are we all ne def. I will go for free. If ex military can fight for Ukraine I am sure I can fight for Texas can I call Texas my castle and use deadly force against any invader?
