We have our own Abbott, unfortunately. He's not much better.

Wow that sounds incredibly scummy.

Doubt it, if it were up to the government of the state of Texas, they'd launch all of the nukes at anyone they deem Un-'murican. Watch out Britain.

Because only working class whites not on the coast can be racists.

Because gunning down people looking for help actually has a little more variety to it than your typical Florida racism.

It is because Greg Abbott is scummy

that would make for a good post-apocalyptic movie.

Yeah. Like I said, not a nice guy.

Your warnings would be better suited for Cuba

Still at least Tony can be funny on certain days.

And a shitty reality for those of us who live here

I can confirm that DFW, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso would probably try to GTFO of any independent Texas.

Not with the President we have now otherwise why bother reopening the embassies?

If they left I would see that as a gain instead of a loss.

Again, only whites.
Also one incident, quite the chronic phenomenon.

Your position is in a pig's ass.

Texas has nuclear weapons in its territory. Would Texan soldiers in the federal army defect?

They dont have access to the nuclear weapons. Or rather, they dont have the ability to launch them. A select few have the launch codes. Pretty sure you need more than one code to start launching nukes.

Them, and the traitorous Southern States who dare not join Mighty Texas

It would be a serious loss for Texas. The federal government is the main thing keeping our state's crazy politicians in check.

Well then. We have a serious problem.

And so this newly independent Texas, without most of its' population, retreats into the Permian Basin to hide out for the last days of its' existence. Then it gives up in three hours and rejoins the Union! Panic over.

More like a loss because of the border gore thanks in part to the civil war that would rage on inside the former state.

There may be a very straightforward answer to this, but I'm left to wonder how it is that the nuclear arms in Texas are assumed to wind up in the newly-formed government's hands in the first place. Wouldn't it be just as plausible that they'd be relocated prior to the secession's completion or seized during the transition? Why is it a given that they keep those?

Yeah, that's why I said it. That's also why Texas won't secede.

Technically, when a state secedes from another state, the laws of the state they secede from do not apply to the seceding state. Thus the legality of the secession becomes moot.

That would be interesting to see. I would buy property on the Oklahoma border and charge people to watch.

Will that stop the US military from rolling in and crushing their hopes and dreams for an independent Texas?

I fail to see your point, and all things considering why insult the pig?

We use their blood, and organs after all.

On that note you either lack the capacity for a sarcasm meter or need to visit a doctor for that chip in your shoulder.
