I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Shit like this needs immediate reaction.

Biden refusing to take action against Texas is just emboldening them and other states.

He needs to invoke title 10, ideally ued have done it as soon as the letter was released.

It doesn't matter what the law says if a significant amount of the guard refuse to acknowledge it.

I don't know how anyone can believe they'll all just do the right thing, stop overestimating conservative nutjobs

Listen fash, you can apparently waste Florida taxpayer money in your performative bullshit as much as you want, but the second one of your goons impedes a federal officer, they are donezo & you won't be able to do a damn thing to save them.

U.S.C. 18: 111

This statute outlines certain types of assault against a federal officer and the appropriate charges and penalties. Penalties for Assaulting or Resisting a Federal Officer A simple assault of a federal officer carries a $100,000 fine and up to one year in prison.

For example, simple assault is forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers while performing their duties. As noted, physical contact or injury is not required for a conviction.

Simple federal assault is a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to 1 year in jail and fines of up to $100,000.

(b) Enhanced Penalty.—

Whoever, in the commission of any acts described in subsection (a), uses a deadly or dangerous weapon (including a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective component) or inflicts bodily injury, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

Florida can probably mostly do what it wants with its state guard, but Abbott is using the National Guard for this nonsense and their loyalty is to the president before the governor of the state of Texas. That is in their oath.

I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ______ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.

They are called the NATIONAL guard for a reason.

So the State of Florida is invading the state of texas?

Giallombardo said if the bill passed the Florida State Guard would only be deployed to other states based on mutual agreement, commenting: "They can't just send [the guard] into somebody else's state without the state asking or the state knowing."

Translation: we have to normalize the concept a couple times first before we do the thing we explicitly said we wouldn’t.

It’s like the avengers of assholes assembling at the border.

Wouldn't this count as insurrection or rebellion? Feels like there is a lot riding on the SCOTUS ruling on the 14th amendment.

Quickly immigrants Florida is now open!!

Cool, they can be federalized or arrested too.

When are we going to start arresting all these traitors? Letting them do whatever they want without consequences only encourages them.

Please don't give this dipshit attention to these types of press stunts.

No, he will never do this and the only value here for him is people talking about it. That's it, so don't.

Ron DeSantis should be in the front lines!! Maybe they could dress him up in some extra extra tall high heels so he can see.

This is absolutely not what Trump wants even if his fans do because Trump wants to brag about winning the election and fomenting some sort of national insurrection before the election is not going to get him those bragging rights.

And Trump lives for bragging rights.

Please do. This is a shitshow I'll watch with much glee.
