Roger that. Caught up in the moment.
Yay WVā¦
Bigots of the world, unite.
tl;dr: the Uihleins, a wealthy shipping supplies family thatās been in the forefront of the Covid denial movement and which endorsed noted paedophile Roy Moore; and DonorsTrust, a conservative ādark moneyā pool funded by the usual suspects (Kochs, Mercers, DeVos) thatās also donated to white nationalist hate groups like VDARE and the New Century Foundation (which publishes American Renaissance).
So I guess Ben Domenach and his pals did have something to hide.
Hey Joe:

Does he⦠not remember whoās in charge of the federal government right now?

Thereās like ten rednecks dancing around a rusted out pickup truck shooting guns into the air somewhere near the border of Mexico after seeing his post on FB.
problem is, he is not incorrect regarding the Texas constitution providing an out from the Union. being the only state that was recognized as a sovereign country before joining the Union (however short lived that was), it is written into their state constitution.
That said, it does not play out as simply as this asshole suggests and would be Brexit-level stupidity of āpride of isolation independenceā that will ultimately prove disastrous.
Thereās so much bull that Texas says about this.
-
No - they werenāt the only sovereign country. The Republic of Vermont. Hawaii. The Republic of California. The Republic of West Florida. And more - Iām forgetting a few.
-
Texas didnāt choose to join the US voluntarily- they were annexed. It doesnāt matter what they have in their constitution- they canāt succeed any more than any other state. The Civil War put that notion to the test.
-
They are not the only state that can fly their flag at the same level as the US flag because of their āspecial statusā - they have a less special status having been annexed and not joining voluntarily like other states. And every state can fly their flag at the same level- itās in the flag code.
Edit:
Most people think Vermont was one of the original 13 states. It was an independent country between 1777 and 1791.
Nah - itās cribbed from the flag of Puerto Rico.
Wikipedia
- Texas, admitted December 29, 1845, was formed from the territory of the Republic of Texasfollowing the republicās annexationinto the United States earlier in 1845.[26]
I know that we canāt bargain with cancer, but, damn I wish we could trade all of RLās remaining days for more days with people who are worth a shit.
Not that Mexico deserves these assholes, but:
Hmm.
