I loved when they did an homage to Married with Children on Futurama…

I think you’re right.
Abbott is having issues with the national guard at the border. The soldiers are suffering- bad food, issues with pay, no end in sight. And news keeps leaking out about NG troops being ordered to protect big ranches 100s of miles from the border and the money hemorrhaging out everywhere. So he is looking to divert attention

Sure, not a huge surprise. The modern GOP sucks at actually running anything, so part of their retro-grade politics on issues like immigration and refugees is certainly trying to deflect from their own failed policies. It’s also the cruelty, too…
THAT does not sound good at all…

Abbott finds himself having a lot in common with Putin.

“As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction,” Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss wrote in a statement in 2020. “While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle.”
The Department of Justice’s Southern District of New York (SDNY) indictment lists the defendants as Kolfage, Stephen Bannon, Andrew Badolato, and Timothy Shea. They all are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The indictment says that Bannon collected $1 million “through a non-profit organization under his control,” while Kolfage and the others funneled the money through nonprofits and a shell company. The indictment reads:
“They did so by using fake invoices and sham ‘vendor’” arrangements, among other ways, to ensure, as KOLFAGE noted in a text message to BADOLATO, that his pay arrangement remained “confidential” and kept on a “need to know” basis”

Yeah, I’m pretty pissed off about this tonight. This is my governor, and I don’t believe for one second these stable geniuses were “entrapped”. I’ve lived in Michigan for over 25 years, and these ‘militia’ fucknuts have been an ever-present menace. It’s not “all talk”, these assholes desperately want to act out their violent fantasies.

Right! I mean, it’s not like these same groups planned and carried out the bombing of a government building…oh, wait, they did.
This is what we get for not taking them seriously:

… Man, I loved that Futurama episode. But I’m a sucker for that kind of thing, so…
I don’t know if you could make that show today…
Right! But of course, the thing is the FBI has been doing that for years to Muslims since 9/11…
But he was just a sad, lonely, lone wolf! /s
I keep saying to everyone, we should have taken these assholes seriously AFTER OKC. But we didn’t. We treated McVeigh and Nichols like one-off terrorists instead of trying to dismantle the already growing white supremacist networks that they were tied into. It really enrages me…

Lots of transphobia with a little homophobia thrown in. How long will they wait to open the death camps once they have regained power?

If he wants to admit his inability to lead his state; it’s a start.
The next level would be to acknowledge that he shouldn’t remain in his position and resign.
