Just watching the news reports about the protests in California, how many promote secession.

Go ahead. There’s 55 less automatic Dem electoral votes.

Also won’t have to watch the Rams lose every week anymore.

The latter may actually be more important.

Yes let the fruit and nutters go.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

Secession is illegal. The Supreme Court has ruled unilateral secession illegal. Ya can’t just put a proposition on the ballot and vote to break off.

It can be done only if the United States consented, and they never would. Moreover, California itself wouldn’t agree to secede. Texas has had a secession movement for as long as I can remember, and that state has a much deeper independent streak, and they have never got more than 10% support from Texans. (I haven’t looked that up, but that’s from memory back when I heard Texas was talking about seceding because Obama was evidently planning to invade Texas for nefarious reasons never clearly explained to me).

A lot of Californians are kind of hard core right wing libertarians who would never support secession because they are already pissed at Sacramento and the state being “too blue” as it is. If California seceded, those people would fear, you know, Joe Stalin, or something.

It will never go anywhere.

Nope. You are stuck with the fruit and nutters, and we are stuck with gun-toting, tabacky-chewing morons.

God Bless America.

Then you can raise a glass of piss and toast togetherness.

Thanks I had a chuckle at that too. We do have a good mix here.
