Ted Cruz suggests Texas could secede and "take NASA and the military" if Dems "destroy the country"

[bodecea]

Just think of what we could do if we didn't have to send all that money to DC. We wouldn't need beg DC for OUR money back.

Jeez.

You people are FAILING.

What have YOU actively done to get the secession ball rolling in Texas?

 

[flacaltenn]

HALF of Dems on Indies on the West Coast would more than ponder secession?
You NUTS - Perhaps you could post a poll or two.

Newsweek article FROM THIS WEEK.. Do you not know how to click and read links?

Right, we can get into the shit talking back-and-forth like this is some sort of sports rivalry, but tell me why you think the federal government is even necessary.

Secede and let hurricane and floods blow up your state, then come ask what the federal government does dumb ass. The colonies tried Articles of Confederation and it didn't work with 13 colonies. Having 13 different currencies did not work so well.

Talk about it online.

What mess?...tell us what the mess was?...too low of gas prices?...just what did Trump do that you people on the left hate so damn much?...look where we are now....for what?....

750,000 people are now dead because of trumps incompetence. All these rising prices are a result of the pandemic. If trump was re elected he'dc be facing the same thing.

The question is simple.

What does the federal government do for you? What does the federal government do for your state?

What is the fucking purpose of a federal government?

The only thing the federal government does it all is take money and dole it out to special interests. It is fucking useless.

But I am willing to hear arguments for a while federal government is even fucking necessary.

Nay, the question is: What do red states do or contribute to the American people writ large?

Don't discourage them, please.

The first thing they need to do is petition their state government to start the Articles of Secession.....why haven't they done that?

 

[DrLove]

I think you misunderstand. I'm in Florida, not Texas. The Federal government would be on Florida's side in this fight.

Texas would have to build this:

Oh, and a couple of these:

Florida could build just about anything NASA has in Texas...

You’d best start building!!

We the People

If Texas no longer wants to be part of We the People, let them do without our Military, Social Security, VA benefits, Medicare, Disaster Relief, Postal System

It will not go well. Let ‘em go I say. Entertainment baybee!!

Sorry Ted, that ain't the way it works. If Texas secedes, we take NASA and the military. ALL of it including the Coast Guard. Next hurricane or freeze - No FEMA so you're on your own buddy. And you'll be out of a job after Texas has no more representation in Congress. Maybe you can organize a citizen army and capture Cancun?

Sen. Ted Cruz has called on his home state to secede from the U.S. if Democrats "fundamentally destroy the country," adding that Texas should "take" NASA, the military and the country's oil supply along with it.​

​

"If they pack the Supreme Court, if they make D.C. a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud, there may come a point where it's hopeless," Cruz said during a speaking event at Texas A&M last month.​

​

"We're not there yet, and if there comes a point where it's hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil," the Republican added.​

Ted Cruz says Texas should secede and "take the military" if Democrats "destroy the country"

Calls for secession have become a right-wing trope — but there's no constitutional way to accomplish it peacefully

Didn't the Southern state try this once before? I hope they do it again. Will be fun to whup their behind once more.

Amazing how much Texas hates America

Let them leave
They contribute little to our country

Trump is not the guy in charge dummy...Joe is...Joe has lost more Americans to covid than Trump...read something fool....

Trump was in charge for 4 years. Biden less than 10 months. He inherited what trump left. People were infected with COVID and dying when Biden took office. Fewer people have died from COVID under Biden and when you look at full stadiums at sporting events, it is apparent that Biden has done a far better job than trump. And if you right wingers would stop actig stupid, this thing could be ended.

Well, to be fair, we don't really hate "America." We hate.....you...
