Well…with all of the shrill yelping from the right about the “crisis” at our southern border, grandstanding asshole Greg Abbott of Texas is enlisting governors of other far right states to help him do something at the border…not sure what that is but he sure wants to do something and he is inviting the idiot trump to his state tomorrow to “tour” the border and to show the world the “crisis” that doesn’t exist. One of the governors he has “partnered” with, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, is even sending a contingent of their National Guard to the Texas border and she thought it would be cute to say that “private donations” are funding the deployment so people of the state wouldn’t be pissed…but that brings up an interesting question: So, can rich people now rent their national guard? I wonder who would be giving the orders for what the mission is? So now South Dakota is just like Somalia where militias sell their services to the highest bidder? I wonder what else they could rent them for? To put down a union organizing drive? To keep “those people” out of the rich people’s neighborhood? To annex land from another state to make a rich person’s ranch bigger? Noem is just another trumpist idiot who doesn’t understand how government works and will break the law if it doesn’t suit her….and, I’m sure the US military is not going to sit still for her selling the services of their soldiers to the highest bidder or for political reasons….if any of these soldiers deploy, I wonder who is going to face a court martial for ordering it? I just can’t believe the people of South Dakota are so stupid that they would let their friends and neighbors in the Guard be used like this…but it is a blood red state so I guess it’s possible…geez…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
