It's illegal for states to unilaterally secede. But... could they agree to divorce from the Union a la Brexit, or be unilaterally expelled?

No, the states can try to recognize Biden as the legitimate president instead of trump though. Some states also have the right to split up into multiple smaller states at any time, for example Texas can split up into 5 States whenever they want to.

 

[MrJokerRager]

He's not trolling or being earnest. That's Pink Panther, he made a bet with someone that he had to change his name to "ILoveJoeBiden" and shill for him for a month if he won the election.

What a cuck when Biden has not been chosen by the electoral college.

But I guess the nigger found out about it on Saturday. Maybe that is why AP called it, they saw him already celebrate Biden as president.

Neither, the U.S. Civil War pretty thoroughly put a kabash on that being possible to do non-violently.

There’s a reason why Texas and California periodically float the idea. The matter was never settled Constitutionally, just by military and later judicial fiat, which was a massive oversight that seems pretty fucking odd now that I’m thinking about it. Why didn’t Lincoln force through such an amendment during/after the war? Weird.

Anyway, I personally believe amicable secession should be allowed to prevent some future civil war over the rights of moonmen 500 years from now.

Wasn't there also a perpetual standing offer by WVa to the counties of Va to join them?

I expect to get shit for this, but it's been said time and time again that Republicans can't afford to keep cucking out to Democrats and losing more and more ground like they've been doing for the past, what, 60 years? Frankly, if direct appointment is what it takes to negate all this bullshit the Dems are pulling off, I might actually grow some respect for Republicans- if they don't do this in the event that not even the SCOTUS will rule against fraud that would be considered blatant in any other country, they are done for and I don't even think it's debatable. You can call it scummy, but if it's in the fucking Constitution that electors can do this, I can only imagine that the Founding Fathers even foresaw a scenario where it would be a last resort in the face of unsustainable corruption. Maybe I'm wrong on that since I'm not a history buff, but that's the impression I get- it's why America isn't a democracy, it's a democratic republic.

All that said, I get the apprehension behind it, and I imagine that if it happens, there'll be harsher laws in place for punishing faithless electors so that it can't be abused again. I feel that if an election ever has its outcome changed by faithless electors (from what I know the only times it's happened are due to a candidate dying), then it can only be something that can be afforded once in America's history, at least for the foreseeable future. The entire scenario feels so surreal that I can't see it happening anyway, but at the very least, it might be something the SCOTUS keeps in mind if it even considers brushing off this fraud crisis.

Calm down lol. It's just light hearted trolling. I doubt that he wants to do that himself nor do I think he actually believes Biden won.

If Republicans have the balls to do this the days of Neocons running the party might be over.

Muh optics

1. Who gives a fuck what it looks like to the media.
2. Who gives a fuck what it looks like to Biden voters. Because...
3. There's 70 million Trump voters too.

Lincoln's optics were either always utter shit or almost always utter shit until the fall of 1864 and he gave zero fucks and saved the Union. Fuck optics. Not counting hundreds of thousands of invalid votes is more important than muh optics. Way more

I don’t care about optics when the Constitution is on the line. Journalists can scream all they want, but we need to get this fraud under control. Also, if you have to resort to fraud for your candidate to “win”, they were a weak candidate to begin with.

 

[Puerto Pollo]

Lol. This might be the scenario that causes states to secede.

Trump gets ALL electoral votes, the South rises again and Karen from Pasadena learns that without agriculture Uber can't deliver kale salads and coffee enemas, while without industries there's no more estrogen pills for 6yo Brayden Barbie. And look at all those almond trees in a dry state.
Oh dear, the PoC look quite rowdy today. Good that Karen has a Biden sign and defended the minorities on the internet.

Hmmmmmm.

 

[It's HK-47]

Man, they really want to try and pressure him into dropping out. There's been what, four or five separate stories now about people in his inner circle trying to convince him to concede even though they've blatantly said they're not doing that, and helping him organize political rallies on top of that? For people who are absolutely convinced that everything is kosher and Joe Biden won legitimately, they sure are awful disinterested in legal proceedings.

If they broke up states into smaller states, that could probably benefit Republicans.

I don't live there, but IMHO if DC were granted statehood (which it can't per the Constitution, but let's ignore that for the sake of argument) it should absorb NoVa, leaving the rest of Virginia as its own state which could go potentially Red.

Sounds like a win-win on paper. Too bad we live in Clown World, and admitting new states is just one of the Dems' plans for achieving permanent one-party rule.

The Neocons are the problem, but so to is a general culture. The republicans have never seemed to get it in their head that their opponents actually cheat. A culture goes through them to respect the results of the election, and to never press their mandate too far.

Trump has slowly changed them. He is a bull in a China shop and I do wish he had more grace and tact... but perhaps someone like him, a total over correction of what was needed, is just what was -actually- needed. Drag them closer to Trump.

A bet is a bet and trying to point out the screwery would come off as welching on a bet.
All the more reason for Trump to win, #justiceformyniggaIFuckingLoveJoeBiden.

 

[EmuWarsVeteran]

If it is serious, its not a lolsuit.

Every suit's a lolsuit if you look at it a certain way.

We can only hope this picture was taken just before Exterminatus hits them.

It wasn't. No, for real, that's from GorkaMorka, an old table game about a specific world where an ork asteroid landed and stranded a waagh without ways to get out, and the Red Gobbo is real and currently alive in-lore. He ain't winnin though, even in that setting he's a joke background faction, which is extra funny because the entire setting is made up of what normaly would be considered joke background factions, like the Digganobz, a group of tribal humans (the world was on stone age technology before the orks came) which paint themselves green and quite literally worship the orks. It's a fucking trip of a setting and I kinda love it myself. I'd say it's like 40k on crack except that 40k was already on crack so I guess someone gotta give Slaanesh a call 'cause we need an expert to know what the fuck were they on while writting that shit.

 

[JohnDoe]

In this case they wouldn't be faithless, because the state legislature has plenary power to appoint them.

 

[Garm]

I think the laptop stuff, while it was purely propaganda, did have some potential, if only twitter didn't suspend the story for a whole fucking week. I don't think the Dems appreciate how much they owe their "win" to big tech.

I think it was more a shot across the bow. That "we have emails from laptop hard drives that your son used." There could be banking info on there.

It wouldn't get any play in the media but maybe the electors might find it interesting.

I said earlier what the point is, or at least my take on it.

This right now is their attempt to maintain the illusion of legitimacy. If the court cases are solid enough to not be thrown out, it will enter Stage 2 where they'll start trying to stab him, actively turn his allies against him, and doing anything they can to -force- him to concede.

Stage 3 is where Trump shows signs of winning, and if that happens they drop the illusion entirely and the bombings start.

I'm fully strapped in for the internet chimpout alone when we reach this stage.

It'd be BLM-tier virtue signalling all over again, but instead of a black square we get a blue one.
