Can we like... dissolve Texas as a state? They suck.
Give them back to Mexico.
As a Texan, I'm okay with that.
I don't think Texans and Mexican Firearms Laws will get along too well.
They keep talking about secession. Maybe they should be encouraged
I know so many great people in Texas who feel powerless. It's sad
They have the power to leave and stop supporting the state economically.
Don't give them the pleasure. Kick them out.
Looney Toons their ass and saw the state off of the country
Have Yosemite Sam perforate the state off the country with bullets. You know he'd do it.
Except for NASA, please move it to a better state.
Not Florida
I'm sure somewhere there's a report that says Texas is becoming too hot for operations. Nothing jumped out at me searching "site:nasa.gov type:.pdf climate launch operations in texas future."
The dinosaurs tried it millions of years ago but they missed it...
As a Texan, please feel free to ask your representatives to affirm our right of secession.
I really would prefer the US not split into chunks but Texit is surprisingly popular here.
