• 254th Combat Communications Group

The 254th Combat Communications Group is located in Grand Prairie and provides worldwide command, control, communications and computer systems, information management and combat support critical to war fighting capabilities.[citation needed] The 254th's primary mission is to provide planning and engineering for Combat Communications Squadrons that provide tactical (high-frequency radio, telephone, satellite and network) communications and terminal air traffic control services to support emergency U.S. Air Force requirements.[citation needed] The 254th provides a staff element for management of communications personnel and equipment when deployed in support of Air Force missions worldwide in locations where these capabilities don't exist, and are prepared to do so under hostile conditions and during peacetime as well. The 254th commands six squadrons across Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana - the 221st and 236th Combat Communications Squadrons and the 205th, 214th, 219th and 272nd Engineering and Installation Squadrons.[6]

• 217th Training Squadron (Inactivated)

The 217th TRS (Nighthawks) was an intelligence training unit subordinate to the 149th Fighter Wing at Lackland AFB, Texas. The 217th TRS was a GSU (geographically separated unit) located at Goodfellow AFB, Texas. The unit stood up officially on August 15, 2008 as a unit that works directly for and with the following active duty units: 315 Training Squadron, 316 Training Squadron, and 17 Training Support Squadron, under the 17th Training Group (TRG). 217 TRS instructors were integrated into the existing courses taught within the 17 TRG - primarily the 315 TRS. The main purpose of the unit was to provide additional instructors to Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and the 17th Training Group to further augment the active duty cadre, bring additional experience and continuity to the intelligence courses, and continue with the Department of Defense's vision of "total force integration". Although some 217th TRS instructors were drill status guardsmen, most were full-time air technicians. Lieutenant Colonel James W. Marrs became the first commander of the newly formed 217th Training Squadron upon its activation. The unit was inactivated September 7, 2013 [9]

It is beyond comprehension that "Jose Gonzalez" can come here from Guatemala, prove who he is, prove he is not a criminal, and prove that he needs asylum because thugs are out to get him.

That is not the basis for a valid asylum claim.

 

[jotathought]

Tell us you’re a white supremacist without telling us you’re a white supremacist.

Sure .. nazi, racist, white supremacist .. I'm going for the perfecta now! sweet.

 

[cnm]

So you can’t explain the logic behind Tater’s positions.

Hey, it is your straw man.

 

[jotathought]

Tater says he doesn’t have enough money to do his job at the border, which is bullshit. But then he sues Texas for spending their money to do his job at the border.

Can any of the board Dimwingers explain the logic behind that?

How many billions has Biden sent to Ukraine?

 

[cnm]

Then there's this --

Does that come before this?

 

[Nostra]

Hey, it is your straw man.

I don’t think straw man means what you think it means, vermin.

 

[Edgetho]

Does that come before this?

FAFO

We're talking about illegal immigration. Please do try to stay on topic. Thank you.

One of the things Texas is doing that meets with a lot of approval is simply sending illegal immigrants to the cities that publicly said they would welcome said immigrants. Apparently, that's not really making the cities very happy, but everyone else seems to like the idea.

The reason that Greg Abbott is going after illegal immigrants is because he can’t take the heat of the abortion debate or Texans dying in the cold. The immigration debate is a massive deflection from his failures as a governor.

Start facing reality and stop listening to all the bullshit that the right wingers are pushing about immigration. Their goal is to keep you riled up and voting against your best interests.

If Greg Abbott wants to solve immigration, he and the rest of the governor should sit down with the president and work out a strategy and Congress should strike a bi-partisan committe to draft the legislation.

Unless and until they start doing real stuff that addresses the real problems, it’s all just political theatre to rile up the base.

I don’t think straw man means what you think it means, vermin.

I don’t think “vermin” means what you think it means FuckBoi.

I don’t think straw man means what you think it means, vermin.

Lol. You don't know what it means.

FAFO

Well, there's history for that...

Just remember, you're all good until you start taking the bases...

 

[Edgetho]

Well, there's history for that...

Just remember, you're all good until you start taking the bases...

You mean like in Texas? How's that working out?

Did Sponge Brains Shits Pants say, "BOO!" and frighten those cowboys away?

He did threaten them with SCOTUS. They ruled in his favor as a matter of Law.

How's that working out for him?

Tell us, oh wise one, Oracle of the Politics Message Board...... What is Sponge Brains Shits Pants gonna do now?

Tell us? The Texas NG isn't a bunch of unarmed Patriots, they're fighting Men. You gonna send in the FBI? Lawyers? Persecutors? The fucking Media???

Why don't you go frighten them away, tough guy. Send us a postcard from your basement while you're deciding.

It has begun and Sponge Brains Shits Pants will either back down or the Country will go up in flames. And you will lose. You will lose big time, in a big way.

I don't want that. As much as I'd like to see you lose any and all power in the political process, (because dimocraps are scum) I know what will happen when it starts, when it escalates, and when it ends.


You are a child teasing the Lion in his cage. And the cage is about to break

 

[otto105]

So your Marxist ideals are on display.

Marx was a TikToker?

 

[cnm]

You mean like in Texas? How's that working out?

Has Texas taken over federal bases?

TIL.

 

[cnm]

You are a child teasing the Lion in his cage. And the cage is about to break

The whole world saw what happened the last time the pussy was let loose...

 

[Nostra]

There is no abortion debate in Texas, Stupid. Texas abortion laws are in line with many other states. Who the fuck is dying in the cold, moron? Give us a link Dragonlady

If Greg Abbott wants to solve immigration, he and the rest of the governor should sit down with the president and work out a strategy and Congress should strike a bi-partisan committe to draft the legislation.

It's Tater's job to protect the border, Fuckface. He already has all the tools and money he needs. Unfortunately, he shitcanned all those on Day 1 with his No Border Executive Orders. This debacle is 100% on Tater. Not Congress. Not Abbott.

 

[Nostra]

I don’t think “vermin” means what you think it means FuckBoi.

Sure it does, KKKanadian vermin shit.

 

[Nostra]

Lol. You don't know what it means.

Dude. I stated two irrefutable facts:

1. Biden claims he can't fix the border crisis without more money.
2. Biden is suing Texas for fixing HIS border problem with Texas money, and he is suing them to stop.

Nothing about those facts is a straw man, Dumbass. Please explain how you think it is.

That is not the basis for a valid asylum claim.

Yes they have vigorously provided a name change for the word asylum in their list of 85 attempted word changes.
