Because Texas really needed help at getting more fascist
if we can portray the other side as "too extreme", and help them do that, then we win.
It's "pragmatic" strategy sweetie. Trust the
Dems when asked to do good thing: umm there are laws sweaty we can’t do anything
Dems when doing bad thing: what do you mean that’s illegal? I just made it legal, jack
We oppose building the orphan crushing machine but now the money has already been earmarked to build one we have to do it. Otherwise the money would be wasted!
This is a major win for progressive principles; Drumpf would have had to waive at least 30 federal laws if he was the one building the wall.
I'm sure libs will spin this as a super progressive move somehow.
From what I’ve seen they’re focusing on the “budget already allocated, nothing could be done” argument and just completely ignoring the part where something was in fact done, but not to prevent it.
Even if it was a contractual thing, it would've been better to breach the contract, pay damages, and not build the wall. Monsters.
Exactly what's so shitty about this. The MF waived 26(!?) laws to get this to go, just because the money was there? The hell?
This man literally could have said, "Well you can't build it because the it would violate federal law so I guess it'll have to be used to create checkpoints for asylum seekers."
Next time I get pulled over for a speeding ticket I'll let the cop know that I didn't violate the law, I just waived it so there's no issue.
By the way those laws they mention are things like the clean air and clean water act.
For the people who like to pretend libs give half a shit about the environment
Lovin this rule of law system where nothing can happen except what the rules say!
Biden will cite this during his 2024 campaign to try to woo Republican voters
