Republicans' only policy considerations are:

  1. does this increase the wealth of the .01%?

  2. is this a callous showing of cruelty towards groups hated by Christian Nationalists?

A 'yes' to either question gets rammed through regardless of anything else.

Maybe California should stop subsidising Texas with its tax revenue...

So considerate of Abbot to get a few people out of the scorching heat.

Merely sending them to sanctuary cities…..isn’t that what they wanted??

How do you know what they want or what they were told?

Yes. Don't know why people are upset, beyond they were told to be upset.

Tbh, we have so many migrant workers and people in California, let alone LA, that a fourth bus is still barely a blip. It's just kinda sad that they thought this would be a cool stunt, and to be clear, I mean sad in the same sense as a German making a joke. What's next on their pathetic prank list, are Abbott and DeSantis going to come and re-arrange Newsom's mail? Come and drink some of our tap water without us noticing? (spoiler alert: don't, it tastes horrible) Oh, maybe they can send us some completely blank postcards.

I feel bad for them to be such sad people that they thought this would be a cool win. And I feel bad for the folks they did this to, but hey, consolation prize, you're no longer in TX or FL.
