Earth Gets One Step Closer To Plunging Into The Sun ☀️

Texas Gets One Step Closer to Leaving US

That’s the Newsweek headline. This is what the article says:

If the question makes the primary ballot and passes, it would not be legally binding nor would it mean Texas is actually seceding from the U.S. Still, it would be a key victory for secession advocates, who critics view as a fringe belief that would face significant hurdles in a general election. 

The letter notes that the question would be "advisory only" and offers Republican voters to share their thoughts on whether the state should become an independent nation.

A group of crackpots who make MAGA look sensible and serious, want a slot on the Texas GOP primary ballot for their idiot notion. I’m sure if it loses they’ll scream “FRAUD!”, but even if it somehow got on the general ballot (Texas doesn’t allow initiative and referendum votes, so how it ever would is a mystery), it wouldn’t be “Texit.”

We had a war over this, and that settled the issue. There is at least one idiot who thinks it would be “every man a king” ( yes, I’m thinking about Louisiana) if we seceded. But I’m guessing that would come after driving out all the non-whites and reimposing slavery on the blacks, as the Republic tried to do/did in its brief tenure.

Yeah, we got a real ugly history down here.

But we’re “closer” to secession the way the earth is closer to burning to a crisp every summer when its orbit reaches perigee around the sun.
