The emails Abbott got in regards to Jade Helm 15.

Thanks to the curse of ubiquitous wifi, the large, innocuous training exercise known as JADE HELM ‘15 went from InfoWars meme to MSNBC fodder in no time at all. The catalyst was Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who indulged his state’s paranoid population by ordering the Texas State Guard to “monitor” the U.S. Army. After his announcement, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to his office for emails pertaining to Jade Helm (I can’t keep putting that in caps), and received hundreds of pages of emails from furious constituents, xenophobes, conspiracy theorists, and manic caps-lock devotees.

The lunatics have taken over and our illustrious governor joined them
