@feloneouscat She's wrong. And, Texas should know better, because they were involved in the case that set this rule in 1868.

Texas v. White says states cannot unilaterally secede from the US.

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/74/700/#:~:text=White%2C%2074%20U.S.%20700%20(1868)&text=States%20do%20not%20have%20the,remained%20part%20of%20the%20nation.

Oh, but surely the Supreme Court has sai—

“The Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union composed of indestructible states" Texas v White, 1869

The Republican Party is running Dumb and Dimmer.

“ While running for the governor of South Carolina in 2010, Haley was questioned in an interview if she believed that the states had the right to secede from the federal union.

Haley said then that ‘I think that they do. I mean, the Constitution says that.’”

Narrator: The Constitution does NOT say that. The Constitution is less than 5,000 words and it appears she’s not read a single one.

Just when you thought it just CAN’T get dumber…

“ Texas has the right to secede from the U.S. if its citizens decide to do so, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley argued on Wednesday -- a controversial view that contradicts centuries of established history and precedent.”

For those wondering, no. There is no provision for secession. Once you join you are stuck.

Like Katamari Damacy.

Man … X is X-tra dumb these days.

‘Smoking gun proof’: fossil fuel industry knew of #climate danger as early as 1954, documents show.

However, the world knew much earlier than 1954.

Serious question; if there was no Russian collusion, why the hell did they know and have connections to so many Russians? This article lays out the connections between Trump's campaign and powerful Russians.

Documentary on the legacy of residential schools in B.C. wins at Sundance Film Festival

Sugarcane follows the investigation into abuse at an Indian residential school near Williams Lake

Around 2:15 pm, two things happened: I found the meds I was supposed to take in the morning and I received an event invite on Facebook from someone who died a few months ago. I am not sure I am okay.

💔 😭 FUCK TEXAS https://youtu.be/QYFRTSJrNMM

THEY show up for photo-ops at their "war zone". Lol

Ken White had the best response.

Damn. Under Trump the White House Medical Unit was a pill-mill. Thousands of ambien & provigil per month.

Worse, for a clinic that doesn’t typically do procedures w/ moderate sedation they sure are they ordering prodigious quantities of morphine, fentanyl, versed, & ketamine…?
