    I have yet to see this mentioned in any of these threads, at least the ones that I have read. If Texas secedes or tries to, Republicans lose 38 seats in the House of Representatives and two Senate seats. This give the House to Democrats for the foreseeable future and Democrats an easier path to passing bills in the Senate. Not that Texas, Abbott, cares.

        Can anyone tell me how much of Texas’ oil production is offshore? Because the US would claim all of that on day one.

        We’re going to have invade every 20 years to get rid of some horrible dictator or another.

      Here’s hoping a congressman disappears him.

      But seriously, there needs to be a mechanism for the feds to impeach a governor.

      if the secede their electoral votes shouldn’t count until congress passes a bill readmitting them. it’s only fair

      I mean it goes without saying that you aren’t arguing this, but they will never secede. This is fodder for local politicking
