    Texas secessionists have not considered the ramifications of becoming a hostile force sitting on top of oil that the US regards as its own.

        There’s three things you don’t mess with.

        US and oil.

        US and their boats.

        And the US and an excuse to pump more money into the military industrial complex that masquerades as our Economy.

        You should also avoid bears in general.

        Biden has already released a statement announcing he’s caving to them. I’d say they’re ‘finding out’ that they can do what they like and the Dems will fold without a fight, but they already knew that.

    Just seeing Alberta Canadian born Ted Cruz gone from the USA is more than enough for most of us

        Not only is this just about the only deadnaming I support, I think we should all use the Spanish rolled “R.”

        Also it’s the only time I’d be comfortable saying “No, where are you really from?”

          No. Sorry, I know you’re going for a joke and I don’t wanna be a buzz kill. But it’s still messed up to deadname. Doesn’t matter if they are cis, trans or an asshole.

          Look I totally agree he is a massive piece of shit. But so is Caitlyn Jenner and Blair White. Every single person everywhere has the right to their identity and to conceptualize themselves however they wish. And if we make respecting those choices, such as their name, contingent on good behavior that just signals to every trans person watching that we also have conditional respect to exist and function in society comfortable, safely and normally.

          I’m not defending Ted, he is a major PoS, but defending the concept that no one can control how they were born and those circumstances should not be a limitation on how any one wished to live their life.
