Texas Gets One Step Closer to Secession

[bodecea]

Leftists are still butthurt over the land we bought from Mexico and the fact that Texas said "fuck off" and left Mexico.

And then spent 10 years begging the US to annex them because they were broke.

 

[bodecea]

It won't ever happen.

We can wish, can't we?

 

[bodecea]

Most Mexicans are in Texas you fucking idiot.

Do you ever GO to Texas?

"Most Mexicans are in Texas"? You got those population statistics for us? I ask because Mexico alone has about 126 million people.

Then there are no parallels between now and 1776

in terms of legality there are. secession in 2024 would be no different than secession in 1776. one people decide to remove themselves from an oppressive ruler. exactly the same. you are trying to make a legal argument against it, but its not a legal issue any more than it was in 1776

And stop transferring military members to Texas based stations....start getting prepared to shut them down and take everything including the copper wiring and light bulbs like we did at Subic Bay years ago.

If the ruler is really oppressive they will not allow it to happen.

Which countries do you foresee coming to the aide of Texas like the French did for the colonies?

 

[Redfish]

The declaration of independence isn't a legal document.

But it is interesting you would try to use that as an excuse to dismiss the constitution.

Very trumpean of you.

the founders dismissed UK law when the said they would no longer be subject to the rulings of King George. its no different today. its not a legal issue or a constitutional one.

Mexico isn't in the olympics because all the Mexicans that can run or swim are in Texas.

They actually have a medal-winning synchronized diving team.

The real question is which side would our military take. I think we all know the answer and its not DC

The military would stand with the country they swore to protect.

And Texas should leave with our blessings (and laughter). Just let us take all that federal property and money back first....since it doesn't belong to Texas.

So....go, already. Now. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

You think the US military would fight for Texas?

An actual oppressive government would never allow that to happen

 

[bodecea]

Don't look for the state of Texas to be seceding from the union any time soon, for Texans are as strung out on the social programs as much or more than any other states populations are.

Don't they have the most awesomeist power grid?

 

[Catsnmeters]

this would not be a court case any more than the declaration of independence was a court case. Geez wake up people.

Russian trolls must be desperate to divide Americans if the arguement is the constitution can be violated because of a non legal document pertaining to the UK. Lol.

Are you in 2nd amendment threads claiming the 2nd doesn't count because of the declaration of independence? BWAHAHAHA.

Who believes this Russian bullshit?

 

[bodecea]

that wasnt my question nor about the comment you made,,

so how about answering the question instead of changing the subject??

Do you actually believe that Texas is going to secede? Yes or No? (as for me, I hope they do)

 

[Catsnmeters]

So? Are you saying this renders the constitution null and void? Is that what Vlad is telling you to post?

 

[toobfreak]

I suspect so because I have seen this play out before.

Does not change the fact that each state has the right to expect and to defend itself from enemies of the state who would attack it from within through sedition.

So you think trumpers should not be allowed in DC?
