As a mostly Texan I can swear to y'all Texas has a long, racist, and dumb history.

Like, the Halls of heroes are filled with spiteful and inept figures with such accomplishments as "wanted to own slaves so bad", "lost lives in completely avoidable encounter", and "won war by accident."

I'd like us all not to forget "had navy repossessed by creditors."

In a lot of the US, the crappy places have good people, and the good places have crappy people. Texas is one of the rare exceptions where it's a crappy place filled with crappy people. If it weren't for all the oil, it would be as sparsely populated as Alaska.

breaking it up would probably lessen the GOPs power, since that would shift power away from the rural people everywhere but whatever new state got houston

dallas isn't so much GOP as money, so they will follow the money politically. West Texas is hispanic, as is the san antonio area, and we forget about the pan handle, like people do.

So we sold out the Kurds to 'get out of pointless wars' or whatever while sending 3k dudes to Saudi and now maybe not even leaving Syria after all and definitely not actually going home.

What the gently caress is even

https://www.apnews.com/a66bf441fdfb43ca80d200dcbfb5d09d

quote:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Defense Secretary Mark Esper says he is discussing an option that would keep a small residual U.S. military force in northeast Syria to secure oil fields and continue the fight against Islamic State militants.

Esper said on Monday that he had not made a final decision on that option and has not yet presented it to President Donald Trump.

Speaking at a press conference in Kabul, Esper said that some American forces that are in northeast Syria have not yet started to withdraw. He said they are working with Syrian Kurdish fighters to secure the oil fields in that region so they don’t fall under control of IS. He said it’s important to make sure IS doesn’t gain revenue from the oil.

Esper said that the troops around Kobani are withdrawing first and that troops in the Northeast are still in the towns near the oil.

Esper also said that the U.S. is maintaining combat air patrol over U.S. forces in Syria as the withdrawal goes on. He said the U.S. is using overhead surveillance to try to monitor the recently negotiated cease-fire “as best we can.”

While Trump has insisted he’s bringing home Americans from “endless wars” in the Mideast, Esper said all U.S. troops leaving Syria will go to western Iraq and the American military will continue operations against the Islamic State group.

Same way Roy Cohn did, by 'fixing' things.

In 2002, Giuliani founded Giuliani Partners (consulting), acquired and later sold Giuliani Capital Advisors (investment banking), and joined a Texas firm while opening a Manhattan office for the firm renamed Bracewell & Giuliani (legal services).
