As a Texan... (suitably embarrassed and chastened...)
Should be stated as "Like everything else, even the grift is bigger in Texas."
Just ask Elonazi...
Fuck our miserable sordid fetid and festering attempt at a state gov't.
🤡 🫏 🖕 💩
I’d assume that wall was made of pork, but this is Texas, so it was always a load of bull.
With Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, surely Trump will get his wall built, and then he'll leverage tariffs to make Mexico pay for it, right? LOL.
Anyone with a functioning brain could tell you that it was always stupid, unworkable and pointless
But, Trump voters are fucking idiots, so there you go
I guess mexico isn't paying for it any more. Taco Tuesday?
Texas governor never really stands for anything.
Perhaps they should hire illegal immigrants to make it cheaper and faster 🤷♂️
C'mon Texas, don't tell me it's all Republican theater. You're strong, bullish, rebels, lead the charge and pave the way for SCROTUS
