@InUnfunky I know this has been said before but… God, what a dick!
It's really unfortunate and truly awful.
He also helped with the lack of stock and inflationary pricing on food and goods when they searched every single truck for guns and drugs. The searches that shut down the border for at least a week, spoiled food, prevented legal shipments to companies & individuals, and wound up netting absolutely zero weapons, drugs, or migrants. The searches that cost the US $9 billion dollars in GDP.
...but the GQP is "fiscally conservative". 🙄😂
Thanks for the reminder!

The whole border operation is a scam. They lie about who is and where they're arrested, as well as what they're arrested for. They lie about where drugs are discovered, counting drugs found in North Texas as a border seizure. They lie about who is making the arrests, most likely double or even triple counting migrants.
...and they block every single FOIA attempt.
How much is Abbott skimming off the top? 🤔
I recall the ancient days of yore, the G Dubs days (lol) when ol' Greggy was noticeably less stupid and hateful and embarrassing.
Paying the cost to be the "staying relevant" (a la Linds without the kompromat) boss, I guess.
