  Funny how Texas is acting like all the Inn keepers that denied Mary and Joseph a bed by saying they're full when they should be acting like the Inn keeper that made room even if it wasn't ideal.
context: Nice move Abbott. Politize Jesus' birthday with a publicity stunt. How very Christian of you. >
  
  Most of the Christians I’ve met don’t know shit about Christ. >
  
  My philosophy - Never judge a Christian by the people who claim to be one.  
  real Christians may not even exist anymore
  These people could claim to be table legs but that doesn’t mean I am going to eat dinner off of them.  Never let them get away with usurping an identity
  They have done it for so long because real Christians are meek and loving so they bowl them out of the way to say Jesus hates migrants >
  
  The only people that I have ever met who led a Christ-like life were actually Buddhists. >
  
  Zoroastrians too even though they were an Arab culture
  Edit - sorry you said met.  I ever met a Zoroastrian but they loved very much under the “oneness” taught by Christ and I bet it kills fake wanna be Christians to think that >
  
  *Iranian >
  
  Sorry Persian.  That’s a 100 pct bad call by me.  Not even the same thing and I know that I just had my facts wrong.  I have known too many Iranians to know that’s ok to say :)
  Edit - by too many I mean one.  One is all it took for me to get that there’s a difference and I can be personal at times >
  
  Two Corinthians
  Then the king will say to me at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, marvel at the kingdom prepared for me from the foundation of 5th Avenue; for I was hungry and I ate food, I was thirsty and I drink, you was a stranger and I bussed you to DC, you was naked andI put you on the sidewalk, I was sick and....just sick, I was threatened with prison and you witch hunted me.’ >
  
  Oh...my.
  ♡. >
  
  I wonder what Bible verse they're basing their actions on. 🤔 >
  
  The book of Q >
  
  Abbot should stop taking federal dollars for immigration support and give it to Kamala Harris instead if he doesn't want immigrants in his state. >
  
  The silver lining is that they’ll be brought to shelters that won’t lose power in a blackout that could have been prevented with proper investment in Texas infrastructure and power grid specifically. >
  
  What state never loses power? >
  
  Really not surprised at such a craven act from morally bankrupt people/party. >
  
  Republicans truly are a filthy rotten people >
  
  The long-held tradition of human trafficking at Christmas time is a Texas staple! /s >
  
  While he is  doing his publicity stunts, his own citizens are freezing again because the power grid in texas doing what it usually does when weather gets bad. >
  
  He probably did this because of this power grid. These stunts seem to pacify Texas Republican voters. Last time the grid went down right after it was up he lifted the mask restrictions. People all of a sudden for got what had just happened and was praising him. >
  
  I guess there was no room at the Texas inn. How Christian of them. >
  
  The amount of work he put into this vs the fact his state is a garbage fire that’s only getting worse every day really shows you where the priorities lay in his mind. >
  
  How very Christian of them to use migrants as a political football (AFTER their state already receives FEDERAL funding for dealing with that). Republicans are fucking trash human beings. >
  
  Maybe Abbott should focus less on politics and more on real actions by  updating Texas infrastructure so fewer of the citizens he’s sworn to protect Die from the cold. >
  
  As well as offer a more robust vaccination program instead of having so much blood on his hands form all the covid deaths. >
  
  Biden has the most COVID deaths of any President. Newsom is the Governor with the most COVID deaths >
  
  As a uk' man, how is that legal >
  
  It's not, but in the US we have a problem where laws aren't enforced against Republicans.
  No idea why, but it's the main reason fascism is so steadily rising here. No accountability for blatant criminality.
  Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old, not only did he not step down, but he's not even indicted.
  Jim Jordan looked the other way while hundreds of kids were sexually abused and raped by the team doctor at OSU.
  Not to mention Mo brooks and the January 6 insurrectionists, not even indicted yet and almost two years have passed. Boebert, Marge, Mo, Hawley, all criminals who should be charged and indicted among many others.
  America is failing because we are failing to uphold our laws when it comes to the rich and powerful. Laws for thee but not for me, classic right wing fascism . >
  
  And then there’s the fact that laws aren’t enforced against Illegal Aliens ➖ who are, by definition, lawbreakers ➖ and yet who are euphemistically referred to as “Migrants” in this NBC article.
  🤷‍♂️ >
  
  Except these are refugees, in the middle of legal proceedings to determine if they can stay. They have court dates set. Abbott isn’t just trolling the desert picking up randos, these people are already in the system trying to get in through the legal process for refugees. And he’s wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to do it. I swear to god the people that rant the most about enforcing our immigration laws know the least about them. >
  
  A bus ride costs millions? >
  
  It doesn't, but that's what Abbott is spending on these stunts. >
  
  So Biden gives an address using "son of God" and the right complains that he didn't say "Jesus."
  Meanwhile, Abbott ignores all of Jesus' teachings and the story of baby Jesus by leaving some immigrants in the cold without food, shelter, or proper clothing.
  I'm Jewish and even I can see that the right cares more about "talking up how Christian they are" rather than actually following what Christianity says to do. If Biblical Jesus were to magically appear in the US today, he wouldn't be with the Republicans unless he was going in there to flip some tables over and yell at them. >
  
  Almost every Christian I have ever known has been a performative Christian. They like to go to Church in their fancy outfits and show how pious they are to all the other members, then go home a cheer at the suffering of 'others'. >
  
  Biden should just pass an executive order that anyone that ends up on one of these busses is granted automatic citizenship. That is within his power and would end this immediately. >
  
  Republicans will then just put them on planes.
  Then Republicans will just drop them off in the middle of nowhere and say they didn’t do it.
  Then Republicans will claim Democrats are bringing them over the border and taking them to cities and blaming Republicans to make them look bad. >
  
  So the Texas power grid is failing, but Abbott used taxpayer money to send immigrants to DC? Did I get that right?
  Wake the fuck up Texas. Keep voting for clowns and you’ll get a circus. >
  
  Republicans playing childish games instead of doing their jobs? Say it ain't so >
  
  Merry Moral Bankruptcy Day wishes from Greg Abbot. >
  
  If Jesus came back today, the Republicans would be the bad guys. >
  
  If Jesus came back today Republicans would lynch him for being a bleeding heart liberal. >
  
  Nah, the police would have shot him already; he is a brown man after all. Bearded, wearing robe and sandals with dirty feet. Probably just look like a homeless dude. >
  
  Correct me if I'm wrong but this is nothing more than virtue signaling? Aren't US farms heavily dependent on migrant workers? What happens in Texas if ALL migrant workers are sent away? Or maybe this is exactly the kind of "gift" his supporters want for xmas? >
  
  To a point, and we do have an immigration problem that is getting worse.  The problem is that the numbers do keep going up as population increases. There's no way to stop that.  We can keep people from entering at the US border, but then we end up with million strong homeless camps all along the border. There is no good solution really. >
  
  There’s maybe 500,000-600,000 homeless people total in the US, hyperbole doesn’t help you make your point. >
  
  Texas has a long history of exploiting, and victimizing vulnerable people, it is a time honored and proud Texas tradition.  Look it up.
    I don't know the legality of such actions are, but it is a scummy thing to do. >
  
  This is going pretty fucking low to own the libs; how much lower can Abbott go? >
  
  The act itself is disgusting, Imagine how braindead the bus driver would have to be giggling the whole time towards the destination.. >
  
  Jesus H. Christ... >
  
  I always wondered what the H stood for. In my head, I always imagined it was Herman >
  
  I wish these asylum seekers well. However, isn't there any security at the Naval Observatory and the Vice President's house? >
  
  it is more accurate to call them trafficked human beings used as political pawns by Greg Abbot.  Calling them migrants deliberately clouds the “Christian” right wings willful and callous disregard for their basic humanity >
  
  Are you fucking kidding me? How unchristian? how inhuman? How beyond the pale can ya get? >
  
  Just like Jesus would have done. >
  
  Can we drop off used barrels of oil and sludge in front of the governors mansion and Texas legislature? >
  
  I'll say it yet again: Republicans are the enemy. 
  And here is proof positive—what kind of sick fuck would order migrants dumped somewhere unfamiliar and left to fend for themselves in below-freezing temperatures?  And on Christmas Eve, no less?  
  Fuck Abbott.  Fuck DeSantis.  Fuck any so-called "Christians" who are fine with this.  Fuck any heartless bastard who can't see that these are human lives being toyed with.  If not for a cosmic role of the dice, that could have been you sitting on the curb, not knowing where you were, not knowing where to go for help, freezing in what little clothing you were able to hold on to.  
  Evil assholes—we've had enough of you dragging down our nation. >
  
  American republicans are a hate group. >
  
  Seems criminal >
  
  Idiot from Texas too busy pulling publicity stunts to take care of his own state. Repugnantcans. >
  
  Tell me again how Republican politicians are not assholes that do stupid shit just to show off for the assholes that lap that shit up and think it's clever. >
  
  How very Christian of them. >
  
  These sick fucks. There really doesn't seem to be a bottom of the barrel. >
  
  Maybe you should push for the Republican Party to help solve it then. Most recently Congressional Republicans blocked (again) immigration reform, because if they actually addressed the issue they couldn’t use it as a political talking point anymore. >
  
  How could this shit be legal? >
  
  I have to admit I agree.  They are playing games with people's lives. >
  
  I might be wrong but I feel like Trump wouldn’t have done this on Christmas Day with minus degree temperatures. It really takes a damaged soul who can never convoncingly be the real thing but is consumed by greed and ambition to pull off something like this >
  
  Virtue signaling, nothing more. >
  
  
  Virtue signaling, nothing more.
  
  No, this is an action taken. 
  No "signalling" here, and definitely no virtue. 
  This is pure malice.
