The Texas GOP is pushing for a referendum to decide if the state will secede from the US

The Texas GOP is pushing for the state to hold a referendum in 2023 to determine if it should "reassert its status as an independent nation."

Wonder if JB will send them $40 billion to fight off the Fed invaders after they secede from the union

I know someone who is going to have an INGOgasm when they see this.

"However, according to the Constitution, Texas is not able to unilaterally leave the Union."

Complete and utter nonsense.

Not likely....obiden would be more like those ****suckers putin and lincoln and attempt to beat people into submission make "union through force" over "union through consent".

FJB....(and FAL too).

I guess if the referendum passes, they can ask pretty please...

When you have a client who is suffering damages because the other party to a contract has a long and consistent history of breaching the agreement, do you advise him to suck it up and say "stop breaching the contract and causing me damage, pretty please"?

If we were talking about contracts....which we aren't.

That's all the constitution is....that and nothing more.

 

[BigRed]

The States created the central government....Not the other way around​

Not a damn thing....mine is a different acronym!

I wonder how many nuclear weapons are still stored at the Pantex plant east of Amarillo?

Maybe the Feds should start worrying if North Dakota (Minot AFB), Montana (Malmstrom AFB), Wyoming (F. E. Warren AFB), and Louisiana (Barksdale AFB) also start muttering about secession?

About the only "Blue" state with significant "Special Weapons" capability may be Washington with the Trident sub base at Bangor (offset by Georgia's Kings Bay base).

I suspect if Texas actually tries this it'll be the start of the Second Civil War.

Well of course. That kind of stuff started the first one too.
Problem is, this time around, the rebs would be considered the "good guys".

I bet that BigRed would like to have the Belgian-flavored version of the FAL, even if the "AL" part of its designation might remind him of “Honest Abe”.

In that case, I suspect that there might be a lot of guys “Gone to Texas” á là Josey Wales.

I spent 20 years in Fort Worth. Love the state, but I didn't grow up there. My retirement destination is very remote and far north from there; however, I think Jake is right. Just let me get up there before it happens first.
