The group did not say how many signatures it has already collected.

They’re not so good at ciphering.

Only if they take a big chunk of the national debt (we’ll divvy it up per person) and no longer collect US govt. money, including SS & Medicare. Pull all the bases out, too.

Sounds like a win-win. We’ll need a hell of a border fence to keep the Texans out. Hope Donald’s on it.

I said this when the TX governor expressed hostility to our military exercises in TX and I will say it again.

The White House and the DoD should be developing plans to close all non-essential federal government offices (all offices that don’t provide federal services to citizens), close all military bases and relocate all defense contracting/manufacturing (Lockheed Martin, anyone?) out of TX to more welcoming states.

As a simply matter of national security we can’t have these essential national security assets located in a foreign and hostile nation.

And the WH spokesman should announce at a press briefing that this planning has begun.

Oh, be nice, you Texas-bashers! There’s probably a group of knuckleheads in western Pennsylvania who fondly remember their forebears in the Whiskey Rebellion who got so excited about taxes that George Washington who happened to be President at the time had to raise a bunch of troops and get on a horse and lead them west to tell these guys to calm the hell down. Knuckleheadery is no respecter of borders, people, please.

They’d better hurry. Once the white house is re-whitened, they will see a large drop in support for secession.

maybe but the Governor of PA isn’t listening to them and expressing public concern that the military in the state must be monitored to protect Pennsylvanian’s from marshal law.

Big difference.

Your magnanimity serves you well, but it does seem as if, when batshit crazy stuff rears it’s ugly head, TX is not far from the scene. It would be an interesting hypothesis to test. If one could somehow derive a standard definition of “batshit-crazy”, hereafter referred to simply as “batshit”. And then, assuming that each state was, allowing for demographics and population size, a “bin” in which batshit would randomly occur, one could apply some kind of [probably non-parametric] statistical test to see if TX contains significantly more batshit than would be expected under the null hypothesis that batshit randomly occurs across states.

Remember: In TX the only institution more sacred than Marriage is Divorce. Texans are mistakenly SURE they had a pre-nup before entering the Union, and that fantasy of an escape hatch resurfaces again and again and again.

Sigh.
