Only in my dreams could we finally dump Texas and their baskets of right wing nuts.

I rather doubt that there is a smooth, efficient, eco - friendly fashion in which we could detach TX from the rest of the States without digging, boring, drilling, blasting & pushing it out into the Gulf of Mexico & wreaking havoc with the ecosystem. < sigh > Oh, well, it was worth a shot.....

TX - like Quebec, only way DUMBER. That would look good on their license plates.

Texas has, again, proven they are making it through the day on bubble gum and baling wire. WTF?! have they all gone mad? I'm inclined to let them secede. The sane ones will move north to any other state. The others can go on being Texans in this new country of Texas. I've had it with them. I have friends and family who live there and I would hope they would be among the ones leaving Texas. This new country will no longer have an army, navy, etc. for their protection against any invasion or attack. They will have ragtag dingbats with AR15s. They will no longer have a border patrol. They will no longer have any federal laws - they'll have to come up with their own replacements. They can take trump and bannon and america's mayor with them, especially Steven Miller too. Maybe other MAGA folks can move to Texas. They can no print their own history books starting with the date they secede - that will be the beginning of their history. They will need passports to visit Aunt Ethel in Minnesota. There will be fences and checkpoints to keep them out of America. I'd like that just fine. Let them secede and take the MAGA folks with them. Trump can be president. The proud boys and oathkeepers and be in their Cabinet. and other high offices. They'll by on their own and good riddance.

They can take MTG & Lauren Boebert with them. They'd be right at home.

Do you think Mexico would take them back? What a hoot that would be!

Barbara - Pushing TX AKA " Redneck Paradise " out into the Gulf would've been rather on the extreme side, even if we had a battery of Star Trek tractor beams to lift the entire state out of the ground & plop it into the ocean, or had SUPERMAN lift it up & fly it to some other locale, like the Arctic, Antarctic or the middle of the Gobi Desert.

Why don’t they just do it—and take Florida with them!

I wish that George Carlin was still alive. He came up with the routine " Four groups that gotta go " & had the idea of gathering up the heavy drug addicts / alcoholics, sexual deviants, gun nuts, mentally - unhinged & putting them in 4 middle American states bordering each other, putting fences with small gates around said states. I wonder what idea he would've cooked up for TX ? Alas, we'll never know - unless we hold a seance.

George was my hero (I’m an old lady)! Wouldn’t he be having a field day with Trump and the hearings!

George AND Robin ! I would add Richard Pryor, but his humor wasn't all that political, except for race relations, that kind of thing.

If you really think about it, would we even notice that they’re gone? We could build a wall around their entire ‘new’ state and just sit back and watch the fun! The Dallas Cowboys could change their name to the Texas Seceders! Think of the merchandise!!!

The US would be better odd without these tacky low class ignorant ones. Good riddance to bad rubble as the saying goes.

How is it that Texas has become the Land of the Wackos? Are they really really really leaving?

Expand full comment

Maybe the entire state could be plowed under, paved over without disturbing the environment or Native American cultural / historical sites too drastically.

Its the oil in the soil. And the toxic odor in the air

Texas is the perfect example of evil prospers when good people do nothing. those who get involved in the political process get to choose who rest can pick from. The ones who just stand by get to complain about their limited choices.
