When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

We really need to build a very high, thick, strong wall around Texas. And make Texas pay for it. If you elect me President. I will make sure we build the wall!

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

It doesn't have to be that high...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Wow. Doing retro trump roasts. Back when the outrage had such less at stake....

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

And then toss a bunch of guns over the wall and wait for the sounds of shooting to die down.

Everything’s bigger in Texas.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Except their dicks. S’why they compensate so much, with all their guns and general assholeishness.

I can’t imagine a lady not being satisfied by a conspicuously large belt buckle and a lifted truck.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, those kinds of ladies tend to buy their own, heh.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, along with rechargeable batteries. 🤌🏼

Which is why Texas (state of freedum) regulates owning said devices. Can't let women actually experience happiness.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Women can only experience happiness when it is legally meted out by an eligible man. /S

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Those are banned in texas, too.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

These guys haven't actually seen their dicks in years.

The men should not be in the National Guard. They are clearly ICE material.

Why didn't they check their weight beforehand and save the money on shipping them around....

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

That's the power of the E-4 mafia. Troops overweight? Not on paper they aren't.

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

So to evade the ww3 draft I just have to eat a lot of cheeseburgers. Got it

This is how you can enlist fellow patriots like Jimmy John and Jersey Mike to get out of having to point guns at your fellow citizens on the whim of some grotesque madman.
