  • Republicans used aid to Ukraine as leverage for a border deal only to back out once a bill was on the table, and the governor of Texas is ignoring a Supreme Court decision ordering the state to remove razor wire barriers along the Rio Grande. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

      I’m from Texas and I 100% support Abbot on this. At no point has the Supreme Court stated it’s unlawful. Only lawful for federal agents to remove it. Notice the subtle difference. We’re a sovereign state and have the right to defend our border regardless of federal rulings. It’s in the constitution of your state. Do your research. Don’t like it. Go ahead and vote. Austin is such a delight now the dems have it. Houston. Wow what a beacon of success that it. Dallas oh yeah let’s go there. Notice the trend. Idiots.

      Depends on what you mean by "the rest of us." Democratic states keeping abortion legal is still consistent with Dobbs. If you mean "citizens in Republican states," then no because the laws of those states are still controlling in their situation unless they leave the state in question.

    • @TheHuxleyAgnostic
      @TheHuxleyAgnostic 2 месяца назад +241

      ​@@IsYitzach That's the point. The Supreme Court ruled the border isn't a state right, but a federal right, and they're ignoring it. So can you ignore the Supreme Court saying something is a state right, rather than a federal right? It's a rhetorical question, addressing hypocrisy.

    Say it right, Stephen. We don't have a _crisis_ at our border. That's fixating on the _symptom_ instead of the actual, underlying _problem._ The people scrambling to the _border_ have crises in their home _countries;_ crises we're gonna have to _do_ something about if we hope for the surge to die _down._ Target the actual, underlying _problem;_ not the _symptom_ or the symptom's just gonna keep _happening._
