Symmetry is boring anyways. Asymmetry is far more interesting.
The one who wandered in and called China “East Taiwan” was one of the funniest.
The presence of a Dickcissel implies the existence of a Clittranssel.
This is going to be more security theatre if it is anything.
Exactly. There’s a lot of opportunities for private profits from security theatre.
A more likely option could be implementing those plate scanners for toll roads. Scan people going through pre-check lane, follow up on unauthorised vehicles. Everyone else queues up to answer questions, be pulled aside for further inspection such as at a border gate.
Unlikely for it to go this far, not yet, but due to needing something huge for cover. Not due to impact on rich people. The TSA got implemented despite resistance and rich people get the fast lane or fly private. Could easily get an exemption for this barrier and also fly private over. Do rich people really drive across state borders all that often anyways? TSA was under cover of a culturally impactful terrorist attack. Now begrudgingly accepted. There is likely a missing ingredient before putting something like this in action in Texas. Abortion and trans fearmongering aren’t enough.
Open to hearing reasons why rich people would be severely impacted. They get away with most everything unless getting in the way of other rich people’s money. And something like this would put a lot of money into private hands.
My 'safe for eyes' orb has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my orb.
They’re going to build a physical border around Texas with checkpoints at interstate highways. Razor wire and saw blades in between to catch people, as tested across the Rio Grande. A private company either directly owned by a state politician or relation of once will be contracted to test the urine of everyone passing through for hormones that indicate pregnancy or out of bounds for cis people. Booths will be set up in the style of TSA full-body naked radar cylinders with semi-privacy to piss in public while bodies are scanned for abnormalities such as unexpected secondary sex characteristics and piss bags taped to the inner thigh. New detention centers will be built to temporarily imprison those who fail this first screening while further invasions of privacy are conducted. A fast-lane option where blood screenings are conducted every 6 weeks at diagnostic laboratories (paid for out of pocket) will be available. A black market industry of false certification cards will thrive. Other states with gqp leverage will attempt to follow suit.
That’s the price of Freedom©™ under the lone star. Enriching ghouls and expanding the fascist police state to catch poor undesirables.
He left a funny custom blown glass pipe at my place in the early aughts and I've been trying to get it back to him. But also been using it in the meantime so not in any rush. Who are we talking about again?
Wow, looks like something bad happened in 1991 that caused inequality to get even worse than under Tsarist Russia.

No accusations towards you or Biggs. Clearly having a moustache makes you a mammal and not an avian.

Now Niger is getting Mayotte, Clipperton, Guiana, Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Caledonia, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Wallis and Futuna. Keep pushing and they're getting more islands.
Exactly. They'll never see it coming. Keeps them on their toes.
Giving Long Island to Mali next.
Pray the deal isn't altered further.
