Texas Secessionsts Win GOP Backing for Independence Vote: 'Major Step'

Go, Texas. Quit teasing us.

So you support destroying the Union? Let me guess, you think there is nothing but MAGA in Texes?

Of course there's more than Maga in Texas. But if TX is so determined, and is going to try this over and over, I'm tired of hearing about it. Go, or shut up.

Exactly.
Scotland is not declaring war on the rest of the UK by holding a vote to leave.
It's a peaceful process and Scotland will do what they want to do.

The same should be true for Texas.

No circles. just you making excuses for not putting the United States of America first. The United part is the Union, without it there is no USA.

Trying to vote away the Union is treason and making war on the USA.
 
Texas can leave whenever they please. I don't give two ****s about the principles involved, I would just like for them to go.

They can take Florida with them.
 
Texas is going nowhere. The idiots who want to make them leave are running a fool's errand.

Its not. 99% of the time the people pushing this are not Texans.

War is violence or the imminent threat thereof. Votes are not violence.

Sure if you used dictionary level research, you would be correct. But you forgot about things like cold wars, and the declaration of war before the violence starts.

Case in point Texas declaring independence through a referendum that they have no Constitutional right to hold is a declaration of war. The only way Texas could realize their plan is through violence. The Texan government would have to use an army to enforce the results of the referendum. It is fantasy by traitors to the Union. It is indeed treason to attack the Union.

Your ignorance of the Constitution is not a substitute for the real world.

You act as if you never heard of the US Civil War and its outcome. It is just ignorance to think any State can vote itself out of the permanent Union. The Question was answered and denial now is just neo-confederationism.

It’s all pre-Civil war nullification talk. It explains Iowa now being part of the confederacy. The internet is far and away the most dangerous weapon ever created.

Texas is not so determined. And I too wish the faction who continue to push a referendum on the subject would just shut up. But so long as they have the numbers to control the party platform, they won't. Fortunately, thus far Democrat and Republican legislators have the good sense not to allow the proposal out of the responsible committee.
 
Or any of the trade agreement and they would have to chose wether they should use the US dollar and stand without their own central bank (which would mean a loss of monetary control) or create a currency of their own.

That’s what the UK thought with Brexit.

Texas’ share of the national debt is over $3 trillion. I wonder how they will pay that before they leave.
 
This reminds me of an episode a generation or so back. An organization of Texans solicited donations to build a Great Wall of Texas, to keep the riff raff out. Each donator would get his name on a brick. They gave up their project when they discovered that about two thirds of their donations were being made by out of staters wanting to keep the Texans IN.
