A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

    We can short-circuit all that by saying “Hey, you jokers want to leave? Then go already, and please leave your US passports in that basket by the door on your way out. By the way, here is a bill for your share of the Federal Debt, apportioned by population like the Constitution you say you revere says it should be. We also added the cost of all the military bases you are buying from us.”

    Seriously, let the fuckers go. I’d be sad to see Austin go. But, really, that’s about it.

      So many millions of innocents would be caught up in this. I understand the sentiment but I don’t like this at all.

      As much as I would love this the rest of the republican fuckers would never allow it cause then they would lose whatever power they have left since Texas has been solid red for ages now.
