Anybody wanna join up and secede from the union? Maybe if we just keep to ourselves the Federal government won't even notice.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We should just call it and break up into fifty nations organized like the EU. Non-agrarian red states would start merging left and right in an attempt at economic survival. At that point we could reconsider uniting as a nation with proportional representation. Lol

Sounds good to me.
I would actually be okay with us breaking up into 50 nations.
We coined the term twitler far too early.
I'm sure the people that voted for donvict (or sat out) because of the price of eggs are going to find that elmo and donvict are going to be working for them...
🤣
Republicans have always been good at flinging shit around and just in general preventing anything useful from happening, the only difference now is that for the GOP the call is coming from inside the house. In the past they've used their obstructionism as a weapon to hurt Democrats trying to actually make the government function, but now they've got a bunch of whiny toddlers throwing temper tantrums while they're trying to accomplish things and the shoe is on the other foot. There's a certain delicious irony in seeing the same assholes that pulled this crap during the Obama administration suddenly be subjected to the same thing by the monsters they created.
Ahh my sweet naive Icarus. Getting warm?
tfw an illegal immigrant is coming for your democracy
The whole world is gonna rejoice when Musk get Luigi'd, while the oligarchs — plus the govs and MSM they own — scream "senseless act of terrorism".
Motherfucker needs to get put in his fucking place.
Fertilizer for a field.
Fertilizer is actually useful. I wouldn't put Musk in the same category as fertilizer.
From a certain point of view, you are 100% correct.
From a different point of view, he's a person with meat and blood held together with a fleshy bag thing, and propped up by calcium sticks. Or "inefficient bag of mostly water" if you wish.
Not everybody is useful. Every body can be good fertilizer.
I don't think hgh and ketamine are good for plants. His corpse would be just as useless as he is
