if a private citizen did something like this targeting ceos they be labeled a terrorist. but no, this is a-ok for texas
Well, if a private citizen did this targeting the brown furriners, that'd probably be okay, too.
An elected official boasting of their inability to actually govern is the most Republican thing I can think of.
"Government doesn't help you! Re-elect me so I can keep making sure of that!" - every "small government" fascist
I searched for the billboards and just yikes.
Yeah you in can try to spin in whatever way you want, but it definitely comes off like America is full of rapists.
Well, apparently enough support rape to vote for donvict the rapist.
Wait ..... I thought these were the same guys that said that it was immigrants that were rapists .... are they admitting that the rapists were in Texas the whole time?
The rapists were the friends we lost along the way
The billboards aren't saying Americans will rape them, but the smugglers smuggling people into the country, which does have a high incidence of happening.
The billboard says many women are raped by the ppl guiding the illegal border crossings.
I guess the rapists are going to rape the other rapists and we'll see who wins?
Whoever or whatever it is .... all I can think of is that Texas is a state full of rapists .. immigrant, state born, male, female, rich, poor, government, non-aligned, Christian, non-religious ... all of them rapists
Everything's rapier in Texas?
Someone will come out on top.
Or just come, I guess 🤷
a government official advertising rape to the less fortunate? these people saying such ludicrous things need to be put on a noose.
wouldn't work in Abbots case.
lol
"They give potential illegal immigrants thinking of leaving their home country — and those already on the way — a realistic picture of what will happen to them on their journey or if they illegally cross into Texas," Abbott said.
A lot of them are leaving their home country, you absolute waste of oxygen, because they were going to die there if they didn't.
I think the signs are referring to the "coyotes" who guide Mexican immigrants across the border for a fee. Often they sexually assault their clients, estimated by nonprofits to be about 60%.
It doesn't make a lot of sense for Texas to place the signs, though, but it's provacative and theatrical which the GOP loves.
If we can't get our shit together enough to take the country back from these racist, unempathetic bigots, we really do deserve whatever comes next.
If we are outvoted by imbeciles and bigots, how is that our fault, though?
Because we now have more than adequate evidence that just voting on our own isn't enough. We need to be putting our energy into local organizing and canvassing (believe me, I have no idea how I'm going to make room for that in my life either), and doing everything we can to get everyone we know who ISN'T a racist, unempathetic bigot to vote.
DID NOT VOTE was the actual winner of both the 2016 and 2024 elections.
What do you mean "back"? This country was founded by racist, unempathetic bigots.
Fear and cruelty
*terrorism
The qons are soft on both crime and terrorism, so it checks out.
The whats?
Today's cons are chock full of nonsense, including qanon nonsense, so I shorten it up to qons.
Go to Texas, get raped. Got it.
Every time you think Greg Abbott can't be any more of a disgusting and gleefully cruel monster, the little piss-baby proves you wrong 🤬
Did he pay for those out of his own pocket, or did he waste tax payers money for this?
Holy shit, I didn't expect them to have literally said that shit. I expect nothing of republicans or Texas, but I'm still baffled.
For those who want to see them....
🤮🤮Tex*s 🤮🤮
Stay classy, Greg Abbot.
A third of my mortgage is insurance because these dipshits let the state freeze and he waste money on this shit. Fucking ghoul
Writes in English.
Immigrants:" No habla ingles?"
He's right. You got to worry about the pigs, especially the Texas pigs, they're pretty dirty. Florida is kind of dirty too, and Arizona and California. In fact, all of the southern states have tons of cops who are dirty as hell and probably some of them would be up for that kind of horrible action.
Wait but I thought it was the immigrants themselves that were nothing but rapists?
Thanks, Texas! Good job, as always. ~~I hope your entire state burns to the ground~~
I kind of want to buy an adjacent billboard "Doesn't matter, had sex."
Or "Texas -- The rapist-friendly State".
