  • Secession!!!

    Don't let the door hit you.
    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

    Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
    Martin Luther King, Jr.

          You can help them out here:

          President Biden and Vice President Harris promised to move quickly to deliver results for working families. That’s what they’ve done.

            Everything is bigger in Texas... including the terror of living in a non-White majority state and the general level of dumbassery!

              Good to see the GOP rank and file are taking their electoral defeat in a reasoned and responsible fashion. Aren't they supposed to love democracy? When you manipulate and lie to stupid people, and your lies don't deliver on their promise, then stupid people will react in stupid ways. Same the world over.

              Some pretty awful keyword stuffing there ... surprising from just a big website.

                As part of Texas entering the union, it retains the rights to divide itself into up to 4 smaller states.....and it should! Good riddance on the rest of those craptastic states that want to leave, it will raise the literacy rate. Ok, except Oregon, California should just annex them, and then split into North and South California, and charge South California for water

                    good thing Republicans aren't in power, they'd probably invade.

                      Wow. Yeah I'm sure you'd remain the 15th largest economy in the world if you seceded too!

                          If this was towards me, I'd bet that California's GDP would actually grow if we left the union because we wouldnt be sending resources to the federal government and because we'd nationalize the underground drug economy, provide universal healthcare and bring the vast majority of illegal aliens into the regular economy. You'd also see a huge brain drain from the rest of the world into California. Our robot armies, developed by google, Lawrence Livermore Labs, and Oracle, would defend the oceans, deserts and sky borders from the riff raff.

                          California is the 7th largest economy right now

                            When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.


                            Our forefathers set the rules, and then showed that it wasn't just lip service. Call them whackaloons...but someday this country will see great changes. It's inevitable, as history has shown us thousands of times.

                            Nothing lasts. Let them try. I'm sure there isn't enough support to see any secession plans to gain any momentum. But you never know.
                            Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                              I meant Texas but you make some interesting points. I'd like to do some more research on this in general to see how it would work for real.
