    It’d be pretty cool if the host state governments provided tactical team protection to those politicians. Designate VIP; protect.

    As a Bostonian, I’d fully back using the MA NG, staties (the unusually flagrantly corrupt embezzling fucks they are), BPD, or whatever else, under state authority, to protect political refugees from a hostile US State.

      Not to mention the Texas Rangers don’t have jurisdiction anywhere outside of Texas. They’d be essentially coming in and acting as vigilantes. No other states should be ok with that kind of usurping of power on their soil or it’s a really fucking slippery slope.

        This is a Rubicon Trump will eventually cross though. He will send federal agent in to enforce Texas laws sooner or later, if only because it’s more dictator shit that gets his tiny dick hard.
