When you have so many loser assholes that they can form two factions that hate each other and they still dominate politics while at each other’s throats, well …
That’s a real surfeit of loser assholes.
Yeah, I got nothing for that.
For our part, my county (at least until the most recent gerrymandering) has been trending more purple and even went Biden at the last POTUS election but it’s been a tough slog the whole way
I was advised that this was a good place for this:
I had put it in evil mfers’ in the news as it’s eveil, and in the news. Seriously though, agree with the op.
This was already mentioned in the Abbott thread, but it’s also appropos here.
The park lies in a major corridor for migrants entering illegally from Mexico and is the center of Abbott’s aggressive attempts to stop them, known as Operation Lone Star. Migrants are periodically swept away to their deaths by the current of the Rio Grande.
Abbott’s office referred questions about the drownings to the Texas Military Department
So, we’ve got interference with officials of the federal government in the course of carrying out their duties, which led to deaths. When are we going to start seeing criminal charges?
Or organized disapproval from the citizenry?
Texas transportation company sues Chicago for migrant bus restrictions
CHICAGO — A Texas transportation company is suing Chicago over rules the city put in place to restrict unscheduled buses carrying asylum-seekers.
The lawsuit filed by Irving-based Wynne Transportation earlier this month accuses the city of violating federal and state law with its restrictions on what Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration has referred to as “rogue buses.”
The legal move continues a back-and-forth battle as Chicago works to control the arrivals of asylum-seekers and Texas adjusts to continue sending them. Nearly 35,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses in August 2022.
The suit against the city “is about allowing immigrants the opportunity to call Chicago home,” the lawsuit says.
What the fuck? The jackasses sending people out of Texas at government expense just to pawn the liberals are now saying the destination city government are the bad guys? The transportation company is, I guess, shipping all these humans just out of the goodness of the company’s heart.
But, hey, there’s one glorious little bit in this story. Seriously, make sure you’re sitting down in a secure place, don’t eat or drink anything at all while you read this next bit.
The company’s lawsuit argues Chicago doesn’t have the authority to make rules restricting immigration.
Did you catch that. Abbott’s flacks are pointing out that Chicago doesn’t have the authority to restrict immigration. Well, yeah; that’s because Chicago isn’t the federal government. Oops. Did someone accidentally chuck a spanner in Abbott’s evil machinery?
If I were Chicago I would impound the buses. Start a collection. Hundreds and hundreds of buses, locked up in the airport parking lot. Charge exhorbitant fees to claim them, then sell them at auction if unclaimed. Lather, rinse repeat. Use the money to support the migrants and fight the bus owners in court. Abbott will soon run out of buses, or bus companies willing to participate in his little human trafficking scheme.
That is an excellent idea! Could it be done with planes as well, or other sorts of vehicles?
“We’re not seizing them, just holding them as evidence.”
From the link I posted:
The city has filed 95 complaints regarding buses violating its intercity bus ordinance and impounded two buses, both of which were released after fines above $3,000 were paid, officials said.
See? That’s just more interference in the Jesus-approved U.S. free market by the pedophilic, Satan-worshiping Democrats. Where will it stop?
Hey, remember that whole Ken Paxton impeachment thing (it had its own since-closed thread)? How the whole thing kicked off over a whistleblower lawsuit settlement that Paxton wanted the Texas taxpayers to fund? How several of the counts in his impeachment directly related to the whistleblower allegations? And how the Texas Senate found him not guilty on every single count?
Well, now Paxton is saying he will not contest any of the facts alleged against him in the whistleblower’s case. He’s doing it out of desperation to avoid being deposed in the case, but it’s a de facto admission that everything alleged against him is true. I’m sure that those state Senators who voted for his acquittal must be kicking themselves over this!
Your use of sarcasm is quite subtle.
I was counting on the dark, cynical hearts of Dopers to understand the sarcasm. 
I see you remembered to include the snarkie this time - always good to provide a hint.
Dan
Oh, I was admiring your subtlety. Well played, Good Sir.
Even as I was making an implicit caution to our more literal-minded readers who might need it.
Anyone beknighted enough to take that literally deserves their discomfiture and confusion.
…beknighted, or benighted?
(He asked, in a fit of literal-minded nitpickery.)
After a be-knight has be-bonked your head with his be-mace, you’re benighted. As in “lights out nobody home”.
