In response to the devastating vehicle-ramming attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) insinuated that the Biden administration’s border policy was to blame — all of which appear now to have jumped the gun.

    Glad someone is speaking up about the wide open border between Texas and Louisiana. We’ve gotta shut that shit down.

    Let’s lay outcome facts at this-time frame:

    Shamsud-Din Jabbar was identified as a U.S. citizen born in Texas.

    Jabbar had served in the U.S. Army and had a degree from Georgia State University.

    While Jabbar had a criminal record related to traffic offenses and theft, there is no indication that these offenses pertained to immigration violations or that they affected his citizenship status.

    The FBI’s investigation into Jabbar’s potential associations with terroristic organizations does not imply anything about his immigration status but rather focuses on his actions during the attack.

    So, given these parameters why is this a Biden border issue?

          The game has different colors – different sources of power for your deck. Blue cards are themed around trickery and messing with your opponents plans. Cancelling spells is basically a “no” to whatever your opponent is trying to play.

            White is themed around order and balance. Black is power at any cost. Red is impulsive and energetic. Green is harmonious with the natural world.

            Blue interacts with the fundamental fabric of reality and is absolute bullshit.

        I feel like she’s a blue player playing a black deck the same way she would play a blue deck.

        Canceling your own spells is relatively harmless. She casts spells that negate her own moves but deal necrotic damage to everyone and everything in the game.

    Let’s put the blame where it belongs. Dude does a dime in the Army and he’s fine. Then he goes to work in IT for Deloitte and … This.

    Build a wall with consulting companies on the other side.

    The truth of falsehoods isn’t the issue, that it’s false is of no consequence to the politics.

    Everything is the border. Attacks on other innocent human beings? Immigrants. High food prices? Immigrants. Unemployment? Immigrants.

    It couldn’t possibly be any kind of political policy they actively oppose, socioeconomic issues, no, nothing like that.

    Just let them be racist and all your problems will be solved, because that’s how we really solve issues in our society.

    It’s so obvious what they are doing; just drumming up some support for deportations. It won’t fix anything, but it’ll keep people good and distracted for a moment while they try to support their real base: the ultra rich.

    Those plastic surgery freaks at Mar a lago will be trying to smile as the poors fight it out over this one.
