I'm ready to beat the conservatives in Civil War 2, tbh. It sounds easier to deal with them now than watch the slow decline of the USA.

Ok bye.
No, not "bye".

I guess Texas doesn't understand they don't have an army, but the US government already has a massive base right in the center of Texas.
They can secede and then ask the US and Mexico for aid when they collapse, but there won't be a civil war. Idiots.

The inadequacy complex is strong with Texas.
Maybe getting a bigger set of truck nuts would help them self-sooth their short man syndrome?
Remove all military assets and troops from Texas.
and remove all military spending. Texas is a huge benificiary here - tons and tons of aerospace like Lockheed and Bell Textron, rockets on the coast, enormous amounts of defense spending happens here.
The marketing for the Civil War movie is getting out of control.
So, are they recalling their Congressional delegations?
Would they have to create their own currency??
We've already got our own currency: HEB and Whataburger gift cards.

Republicans just love doing Putins work.
I think they should. It would take care of the problem immediately since they would get curb stomped in about .2 seconds.
Awesome. Bye. BTW, no more federal aid, and you'll need a passport to leave in either direction now. You'll have to negotiate your own new treaties with us and Mexico for... well, everything.
We'll throw in Oklahoma for free.

“The feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground.”
That’s not a post by an anonymous user on a fringe messageboard. That was a post on X by Rep. Clay Higgins, a GOP congressman from Louisiana, who was responding to the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Biden Administration—and not Texas—has jurisdiction over border enforcement.
Stay in your lane, pal.
