    If you thought their surprise attack was a success, wait til you see how it goes when they announce it ahead of time.

    This ought to be good.

    This is what happens when you call the 1/6 insurrectionists “tourists” and/or give them light sentences. Throw the book at these fuckers each and every time.

      Maybe they’re just mispronouncing the word “terrorist”, they aren’t the most educated folk ya know. They did give those terrorists too light a sentence anyway.

    I wish some of the Mexican drug cartels would show up there at the same time, and then all the assholes in both countries could just finish each other off and leave the rest of us alone.

      Please…the cartels would wipe out meal-team-six in minutes and keep going.

      Actual murderers who are trained in violence versus stupid cosplayers.

        The stupid cosplayers still have the means to murder unarmed, desperate civilians for the crime of being born on the wrong bit of dirt with the wrong amount of melanin.

        That’s why they’re going. We don’t need to politely pretend that the people who kill children for ringing their doorbell or accidentally getting in their car aren’t just looking for any excuse to kill someone with their cool guns.

          Don’t forget, crossing multiple states to hot beds of activity until you find someone to shoot is apparently self defense now.

      Something tells me the cartels aren’t too concerned about these “border protections”. Why would they get involved? In fact, the whole thing works out pretty well for them as a distraction.

    A retired US Army lieutenant colonel is organizing an armed convoy next week to the Texas border to, he says, hunt down migrants

    takes Green Beret courage to hunt down orphans and mothers in dire circumstances i guess… is that the kind of courage they teach at Army Ranger School nowadays…

      The fact that the fairly drama-free Obama years are probably the best (or least insane) I’ll see in my lifetime is incredibly depressing. These miserable, deranged lunatics and terrorists are determined to make life hell for everyone else, too.

    Why is it so common to blame those poorer, weaker, and more desperate than you for your problems. Yes live probably has gotten worse, and obvious problems are not being solved, but migrants are the last people to blame. It’s such a destructive tendency, and it’s sad to see the same mistake happening again and again.

      The worst bit? The people most mad have the most in common with the migrants: low job security, lack of healthcare, food insecurity… if the people flying their Trump flags high would take just one second to look at themselves and at the rest of us they’d realize the enemy isn’t people, it’s unchecked capitalism.

      And on that, I bet we actually agree. I just don’t want to fix it with a side of hurting people who are different than me, that’s all.

      That relies on the government actually doing something to stop them. Something its shown countless times it’s afraid to do.

        not afraid, not with that military budget.

        they agree with the far right nutjobs. or rather they serve them a purpose.

          Fun fact: originally the A-10 didn’t have electronic targeting or IFF (friend or foe) because the designer thought fighter planes still dog fought like they did in WW2 so they were deemed unnecessary in the name of maneuverability and cost reduction. Because of that outdated mindset the A-10 is the second place plane for most friendly fire incentdence and number one for most civilians killed. Wait actually that’s not really a fun fact…

            That guy who claims he designed the A-10 for those reasons is actually a dumbass who didn’t even touch the design. They didn’t give any strike craft those abilities because they didn’t exist at the time. It was late Vietnam.

            It didn’t get the targeting packages that the Eagle got because the Air Force only ever made the thing in an attempt to keep the Army from getting armed Helicopters. They promptly tried to get rid of it but every time they seriously attempt it the Army just shows them their congressional proposal for an Army strike jet. The Air Force has repeatedly sand bagged the A-10, hoping everyone will believe the CAS mission is dead.

            But the war in Ukraine has shown that it’s very much not.

            I will admit though that once the F-35 reaches certain scales of economy it will be cheaper to run them and some arsenal drones. But only because of that sand bagging.

    All this shit keeps going because they didn’t arrest all those morons taking over the wild life refuge years ago. It encouraged this crazy take on us military ideology. This is going to end very badly one day.

      Unfortunately Texas has a really large chunk of US oil reserves. I don’t see the US letting the actual land of Texas go, let alone giving it to Mexico.
