I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC

What the fuck does that even mean?

They're now using that word to mean... What exactly?

We get Texas commercials in Seattle, lmao. Who the fuck wants to willingly go there.

Is "tariff" now the new "woke"? A term without any meaning that Republicans throw around just to give their brainless followers a starting point from which they can see their deluded fantasies as seemingly rooted in reality?

So something along the lines of: "100 percent tariffs will teach you what happens when you are woke" or some other stupid crap like that.

It's hard to believe, but somehow US news are getting more absurd by the day, even though it should have reached rock bottom long ago...

A guy cut me off in traffic today, so I tariffed the hell out him at the next light.

That's what this idiot sounds like.

The fuck does that even mean?

No one’s interested in your “lone star out of five” rated shithole of a state.

Fascist says some nonsense bullshit is always a distraction, never newsworthy and best left unshared.

This is hilarious. The only people who'd want to move to this shithole are the fucking horrible ones, so he's doing exactly what trump is doing: trying to fuck over the people that support him.

The conservatives are just complete assholes. That's the ideology, full stop. A license to be a total asshole.

Uhh.... 100% of what? Is that guy demented too?

Any New Yorker who actually chose to move to Texas would probably deserve it.

Does that mean NYC can bar Texans from trading on the NY stock exchange?

Do any of these morons understand how anything works???

Valentina Gomez, a Republican congressional candidate in Texas, wrote on X: "Greg, focus on lowering property taxes first. Hardworking people are losing their homes because of this."

Popular MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X: "Good! Now abolish property taxes for us that live here."

Ryan Fournier, a co-founder of the Students for Trump group, wrote on X: "Governor Abbott joked that he’d slap a 100% tariff on anyone moving from New York to Texas if Mamdani wins. Funny—but he’s not wrong. Stop fleeing liberal cities just to vote the same way you did there."

So here we have a spectrum of Republicans.

1. I mean honestly that on its own, in isolation, is pretty reasonable, Texas has massive property taxes compared to almost every other state, she's telling Abbot to stop wasting time messaging gibberish to idiots, she's worried about her potential constituents.

2. Ok, so uh, I guess we just don't need a functioning, funded government in Texas. Eagleman is apparently pro-shutdown of the state of Texas... Aka, a libertarian? At least this is possibly a conceptually understandable idea, regardless of how stupid that idea is.

3. ... and now we get to the head-desk level of stupid. Ryan, are the people who voted for Mamdani going to be leaving NYC? ... No? No it would be Republicans. Democrats who hate Palestinians ...who apparently aren't Republican or bigotted enough, or ... Texas enough? I legitimately don't think this person could handle making a flow chart with like, more than 2 nodes.

If we want to buy a former new yorker, we now have to pay double?

Someone tell Wheels that people are not products that are being imported.

He's just living everyone's favorite bible quote

"I saw that you were struggling and showed you no compassion but a chart of the different tariffs you should be paying for seeking shelter in my general vicinity. Don't you assholes know I am king around these parts? Not about to just let some outsiders or neighbors feel welcome around me! What do you think I am? A dirty Jesuit?"

Someone needs to "Mac and Me" Greg Abbott and his wheelchair.

Oh, wait. This isn't the Onion? I didn't realize Abbott was that stupid.

Well tariffs are prices you charge the buyer when you move goods.

Doesn’t that mean Texans buying New Yorkers would pay a premium on owning humans?

I know they didn’t mean slavery, but it’s far more logical than what he thinks he is saying. And Texas was part of the confederacy sooo…

Moving as in home prices?

Joke's on him, NYC folks are already so used to outrageous home prices they wouldn't notice.

Lol seethe you fucking clown

Cool, so all the rich people who will supposedly flee the communist nightmare will just go to another state.....

All I heard was "And we will continue to do any and all absurd shit to distract from the fact that the President of the United States of America is a pedophile".

Pretty sure that's not going to be a problem, but keep grandstanding for nothing there Puss Baby Abbot! The king of pulling up the ladder behind him cause he got his! Suckers!!!!!

Wheels is so dumb

Texas is too big, we should split it up into 4 states.

Aren't they trying to build a stock exchange there?

???
