The old Empires are busy with their own shit in Europe, retaking America isn't high on their list, even if we do split in two. So give me a better reason why a state can't leave a contract if the other parties are not upholding their end of the deal?
Legally the Supreme Court decided in a landmark case in the aftermath of the Civil War that states cannot unilaterally secede which means they have no say in leaving on their own. The American government and the state government has to agree to let the secession happen.

With that in mind, we all know the 13 Colonies weren't allowed to leave the UK yet here we are today so make of that what you will. King George himself is known to have described the actions of Americans as revolt, hostility and rebellion.
 
The funny thing about Hawaii is that they bitch about tourists and white people but during the time period Hawaii had those fires and the tourists went home the locals bitched and moaned about the lack of business that was going on because there were no tourists. I think Hawaiians just like to be unhappy.
Members of my family and friends visited right after the fires and were of the mind they were supporting Hawaii. These grass-skirt fucks purposely took forever to get my family tables at restaurants, the hotel workers were rude and dismissive, and the people on the street looked at them like they were unwelcome. Hawaii is just a bunch of retarded islanders and a place for super rich golfers and politicians to retire. Why include these people when they go out of their way to hate and exclude us?
 
I just think musically it's subpar. It fits too much with the anthems of the Old World, which are generally slow and orchestral. Battle Hymn of the Republic spits in the face of the Old World by being rough, zealous, and war-like. It's like Le Marseillaise but for the New World.
The tune was originally used in a drinking song; have you tried just singing it faster? Either way it does have a relatively large range (one and a half octaves) for an anthem.

Why doth treason never prosper; for if it prosper, none dare call it treason!

Wow, a community just experienced a devastating event and a failure of the Hawaiian government. Why are people so fucking rude to haoles? I wonder?
 
On the topic of Native Americans and their special relationship with the USA throughout history, they are more than just citizens but wards of the federal government. They don't pay taxes and have special rights and privileges in accordance with the treaties made between their tribes and the USA. For example, it is common for tribes to have full and unrestricted fishing and hunting rights on lands that belonged to the tribe historically, even if its private property.
??? Da fuck we don't pay taxes? We very much pay taxes! That's an urban legend I wish would die 🤦‍♀️ & the "unrestricted hunting/fishing rights" is just free hunting tags (and not many hunting tags; like, one or two per year) and free hunting/fishing licenses. The best benefit (at least in Oklahoma) is the cheaper car registration/tags/titles. & I guess tax free cigarettes if you smoke/live near a rez smokeshop (not that Oklahoma cigarette taxes are high or anything). Purchases on the rez aren't subject to sales taxes. But even natives living entirely on rez land still have to pay federal income taxes/social security/etc.
 
I don't know if it's been asked, but is there anything Trump can do to seize back all the American real estate gobbled up by China? I'm sure the gook niggers are looking at all the fires in California and just waiting to buy up what they can from that disaster, so can he do anything to prevent that?
Yesterday their was some stuff going around that trump will demand reperations from china for covid and if they dont pay then he will reclaim chinese property thats on american soil to pay for the damage they caused. I dont know if this is something trump suggested or just random maga sperging tho.

So yes you do get out of paying a bunch of taxes, but not all. Plus other petty financial advantages from the gubbmint

Yes, declare eminent domain, stress international tensions and force sales on the grounds of national security, and most importantly ban the ownership of real estate to any and all foreign nationals.

That sounds both unfathomably based and like complete bullshit

Yeah I realized my mistake after I made the post, was gonna edit it to say sales tax but didn't want to deny someone the opportunity to correct me. A lot of it actually varies by tribe/treaty.

Exactly, so we should just strip Hawaii of their statehood and let them figure shit out on their own since they are so unhappy to see their fellow countrymen. Even coming up with a faggy name for them.
 
Pretty much. I’m all for states’s rights, but there has to be a limit. You shouldn’t just be able to leave the Union over disagreements with the federal government, that’s an awful framework for a nation (just look at the Holy Roman Empire). Lincoln did some things I’m not too happy about and I can understand why one would call him a tyrant, but he was undeniably right for wanting more centralization. The United States wouldn’t have survived this long in a timeline where centralization doesn’t take place.
Lincoln did the needful when no one else wanted to and singlehandedly lead to the biggest Democrat defeat in history bar none. He made the United States into a true empire. Without him, we would have been conquered by Europe looking at us fighting amongst ourselves. Yeah fuck the South.
 
Weren't a lot of important leftists calling for a boycott of the inauguration? Seems like it failed.
Yeah, they were calling it "Operation: Tank the Inauguration" and they were telling people to make sure their TVs were turned on during the inauguration, but tuned to any channel not showing the event.

Supposedly Trump cares so deeply about the ratings that his ego would be crushed and this would ruin him somehow. Some of the saner ones tried explaining to them how Nielsen ratings work and that it would do absolutely nothing, but they were ignored. Most tuned in anyway to screech at the screen just so they could melt down and frantically post to Bluesky and Facebook about the end of America.

All of it was irrelevant because most people watched online anyway.
 
Ngl this look goes hard.
Living near rez towns I can say that they tend to. Of course, I'm white, but out of all the historical stuff that came out of my homeland the coolest things are always gonna be the cowboy, the indians, and of course the American revolutionaries. Shitlibs are always saying that the right can't recognize or respect culture or whatever; I wanna see how they're gonna write that one off.
