Wait. What? How does that even… I mean. Huh?
Republicans are the stupidest mother fuckers in the world.
I think it means Texans will have to purchase one whole New Yorker for each New Yorker who moves to Texas?
Oh I’m sure there will be discounts of up to 3/5ths on certain classes of individuals.
Yikes, bringing back the slave trade in a whole new way.
I said tariff! Good day sir!
They don’t have to be smart. They have the backing of the rich.
What a stupid fuck he is. Let’s suppose that a wave of people do ‘flee’ New York if they elect Mandani…. Should Texas welcome them with open arms? They would be ‘his type’ of people? What a dumb fucking thing to say…… barring all the rest of the issues with something so dumb……
If he was smart he would promise them a gun and unlimited medical debt and payment in oil credits or whatever MAGAt people like.
It doesn’t even make sense. He’s just throwing around the word “tariff” because Republican dumbfucks don’t know what it means but think it sounds harsh and Trumpy.
Navy ordered 6 new 60mm guns to shoot tariffs at enemy aircraft.
I had sex with a MAGA lady and now I think I have a tariff on my cock.
Oooh, high caliber twrrifs!
MAGA politicians are just regurgitating SEO shit at this point
“No, no, no! Do not come to Texas! Texas is full!”
Meanwhile, Texas:
Hey Abbott, how’s the plan to personally prevent every rape in texas going?
Someone needs to push his chair over
A cliff
What does that even mean?
It will cost Texans twice as much to buy themselves a New Yorker?
they never got the cartoons anyway
I literally exclaimed that aloud to myself upon reading the headline.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff
A tariff or import tax is a duty imposed by a national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer.
Could be a slip that Texas is finally going to secede.
Or his head has seceded from reality, no one rly knows
Means he’s red, mad, and nude, as usual.
It’s like a 5 year old mimicking his idiot dad. Would be adorable if it weren’t real.
The political equivalent of a toddler tantrum.
Like punishing the people who WANT to leave that “socialist hellhole”… LoL clownworld
He’s contracted Trump’s tendency to string words together without regard to their meaning.
Popular MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X: “Good! Now abolish property taxes for us that live here.”
Take note: property taxes are part of the wealth taxes that people rightfully clamor for. Property tax is something you pay because of what you own, not what you earn.
If anything, property taxes should be progressive, with brackets, and there should be a progressive “stock ownership” tax, too. (Yes, there would be carve-outs for 401ks and IRAs and similar retirement investments.)
Are you trying to make sense of a MAGA soundbite again? They don’t exist to make sense.
Republicans punishing Republicans
Talk about tilting at Windmills.
Twelve years later and oh how the turn tables
Gov. Rick Perry announced Monday that he’s hitting the airwaves in California to tout business opportunities in Texas and invite Californians to migrate.
Rick Perry is now out there spreading the word about psychedelics, oddly enough.
John Boehner toked up so that Rick Perry could trip balls.
How is that even legal?
It isn’t; the Privileges and Immunities clause of the constitution has been interpreted by previous SCOTUS decision to mean that people can move freely between the States without restrictions.
However, reactionaries like Abbott know they have ideological allies in the current SCOTUS who are eager to overturn case law in order to advance their shared conservative project.
A tariff on zero dollars is still zero. This means he’ll be introducing an unnecessary, job-killing regulation that adds more pointless bureaucracy to Texas’s already-extreme tax situation.
So, traditional Republican politics.
Sad but true.
It’s not
It’s not just not legal, it’s nonsensical. Like, what does it even mean? How would it even be enforced? It’s just virtue signaling.
You know what to top it off… we’ll build a wall on their citizenship paperwork. and we’ll build a fabulous ballroom in their houses!
Sorry my buds and I made a bet to take trumps already terrible ideas, and use them in contexts that don’t even give an air of making sense.
Get guns
It’s Texas. The guns are already there.
Only one side is prepared for the civil war they desperately want
That’s not how that works! That’s not how any of this works!
