I wonder if you can guess what that would be? A state rep, Tony Dale, went off on a tv interview the other day saying that Texas can&#8217;t accept any refugees since it would be too easy for them to buy guns when they arrived&#8230;yep&#8230;let that one soak in a minute&#8230;a guy who has the highest rating for being a shill for the NRA basically says that if you&#8217;re a crazy assed white person threatening to shoot federal government employees you can have all the guns you can afford, but, if you&#8217;re a refugee (a brown person and probably not a good christian), you can&#8217;t. He goes so far as to make sure that any id they may get from the government be stamped so that it can&#8217;t be used to purchase a gun&#8230;never mind that this idiot blocked laws that would have mandated ID&#8217;s and background checks for gun purchases in Texas&#8230;and that any refugee could walk into any gun show in Texas and buy whatever he wants without showing any ID&#8230;so, what this boils down to is that this racist just doesn&#8217;t want any more not white people in his state and he will use any reason to rationalize keeping them out&#8230;and to him, the constitution doesn&#8217;t apply to anyone except those he approves of&#8230;typical asshole repub&#8230;.geez&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;with the scaredy cat repubs doing everything they can to prevent any of the refugees from Syria being settled in the US since they are all 8 feet tall super terrorists&#8230;even the 5 year olds&#8230;we now have Texas weighing in on why they shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to come here and it is so dripping with &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/?p=11215\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Can these guys get even more stupid?<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1305,505,1306],"class_list":["post-11215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-syrian-refugees","tag-texas","tag-tony-dale"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11215"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11217,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11215\/revisions\/11217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
