Going Around, Coming Around

PERHAPS THE TWO MOST INFAMOUS GOVERNORS in America, at least in progressive circles, are the twin titans Greg Abbot of Texas and, last but least, Ron DeSantis of Florida. they have much in common, both levaing a veritable litany of nefarious policies on their (one can hope) way out the political back door. Both are eihter fascists or trying hard to impersonat fascists, which is of course what the Republican party and conservative America in generla seem to be doing. they favor banning books, teaching children that racism and homosexuality do not exist, among other imatinary social paradigms. And together thay have beenperpetrating and continue to perpetrate, at least for th eeimte being, their most insidious, nefarious plot of all: shipping immigrants seeking asylum out of their southern conservative Christian states and up north, usually to affluanet progressive communities, like, saym Martha's Vinyard, plush neighborhoods in New York, and so forth. Investigations of this have come inevitably, and are beginning to reveal that the immigrants are lured onto buses by fals promises and deception, and dumped off up north with no money, food, or help from their senders, only brokin promises. This rasises all kinds of legal questions, as seemingly everything in these United states of litigation does, questions of kidnapping, breach of promise,..again, all sorts stuff. And now, finally, the Attorney General of the great state of California is filing federal suit agains the pair of smart ass punsk, (Abot & DeSantis), both of whem doubtless think themselves soo very clever and brilliant and presidential. They have a valid point; federal government policies, or lack thereof, is allowing their states to be inundated with to many new resideort of the American people. Playing games, abusing people, and behaving aggressively and divisively is not the way forward. But then again, since when has any conservative Christian Republican ever had the foggiest notiong about the best way "forward", rather than "backward". Law suits filed by various agencies in various states against this kidnapp and dump scheme are starting to be formulated, and should be making their way through the court system in the near future. Maybe the justice system witll remedy this deplorable gubernatorial behavior. If not, maybe the American people will.
