Today's tiedrich rant: Texas Guardsmen watched as a woman and two children drowned. what in the actual fuck



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/texas-guardsmen-watched-as-a-woman

the states’ rights crowd has an awesome new right that they’re super fucking proud of: the right of the state to prevent anyone from helping as a woman and two small children drown.

Texas “physically barred” Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say
- A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.


wait, what? are you telling me that Greg Abbott’s border goons prevented the federal government from saving the lives of three human beings? they “physically barred” them?

step aside, there are people drowning here.
no. fuck you. I work for Greg Abbott.
what in the utter heartless fuck is this bullshit?

Tiedrich compares Greg Abbott to a "tribal warlord." He compares Texas to "Somalia." Tiedrich is quite impassioned over the unjust treatment of these poor desperate immigrants and the pathetic negligence of the Texas governor.

If one were to ask them WWJD, I guess the answer is sit idly by while a woman and two precious children drown, becuase STAY THE HELL OFF MY PROPERTY YOU VERMIN.

Un-Christian and deplorable! Saw something on the nets that called Texas, "the One Star" state. It surely applies these days

You have been given countless “Willie Horton” and “Mike the Tank” moments.

BEAT THEM INTO THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS AND CONSCIENCE.

GOP are brutal ideologues who place NO VALUE ON LIFE except as it benefits their heinous power lust.

DO IT!

THIS IS YOUR GOP.
MURDERERS

Pardon the all caps.

They are DISPROVING that this is a Christian nation.

Unless, of course, Jesus would prevent the resucue of a woman and two children from drowning.
