Hippy kiyay !!
Lets all move to texas 👍
Get along little doggy
Where is all the US oil refining capacity?
thank you
Fracking
All over now
PA
OH, OK many places
Oil wells in backyards
Refining the raw product into... Everything that makes modern Life.
Anything I can help to do to further add to trepidation...
They also could choose to split into up to 4 states without needing Congressional approval based on the original agreement, if I remember correctly.
Houston, Austin, DFW, Amarillo and El Paso
It's all about energy bro.
I’m down with that
Ever heard the joke about which body part controls the whole show?
It always is the asshole
@TaLoN132 You are correct, I forgot about that part.
But I don't see taht being the logical direction at this point for 5 reasons: (1) it would affect furtue elections, not this election; (2) what's to stop the DNC from hijacking 5 small texases; (3) any state can split it's electoral college votes w/o becoming more states; (4) the smaller Texases would have fewer electoral college votes anyways.
The only way I see that comming into play, would be if there were already existing factors internal to Texas which would be reason for such a split (beleive me, there are, considering one of my reasons for moving to Travis county (from Waco/Robinson) was to make my sextoys legal).
-- OR --
If this went to a contested election, in which each state get one vote...but I've seen a legal analysis done by another Attorney-With-A-YouTube-Channel which argues that could be stalled indefinitely in the house with a Nancy Pelosi Acting President which I don't think anyone in either party wants.
*(You think I'm kidding -> McLennan County threatened me with jail because someone reported that I owned "an excessive number of obscene devices [dildo], among which were some which simulated obscene activity [vibrated] by electronic means" --> I was like fuck this. Travis County was like, sex toys cool, bisexual, cool, adult oriented website operated from a server in your house, cool --> I was like, ok, moving to Austin)*
@Autumn_Katrina LMFAO
Yeah... It's not very likely, but having 8 Senators vs 2 might be appealing. If they did it right, it would be 6 Rep and 2 Dem, probably. It would probably force CA to split up to in order to maintain adequate representation.
Yeah... If this goes the way it looks, I'm fixin' to move back
In the 19th century, thereabouts, the USA had about 50% of the world’s oil and about 2/3 of the world’s gold.
Texas joined the union with the understanding that executive branches would not have the power to modify rules for elections.
If this isn't remedied, they can now say yall broke your contract and the courts upheld it. We're done with this union.
Oil isn’t just in Texas, Texas is just smarter.
Yippee kayay mar
it's in the US Constitution all the states depend on all the other states following the rules
Well if they’re going do it or better be now too many Californians finding their way here. Austin and Houston gone way left
I think there's been some decent polling on this. The people who move to Texas from other states are politically aligned to Texas.
it will be like Berlin when there was an East Germany
@meglide true but those cities have gone way left I’m sure there is some factor to it
Even DFW is going
@DrSammyD Yes, taht is correct. But, another key for Texas, is that other states need congressional approval, Texas had the approval as part of the contract ... and it has not been repealed.
just the D, please no, not the FW
True but they’re so close Fort Worrh still has the western element
Brother against sister?
Cousin against nephew?
Worth dam it
