I think Wiggins is the one who should be traded.

And California can take away Hollywood, Facebook, Silicon Valley, Paypal...I think the yokels would gladly give up some some water before losing the next Marvel blockbuster.

There WAS no Brexit collapse. UK is actually doing well so far. Who knows what the long term will be, but England did okay long before the European Union. I think Brexit will prove to be a bad move but it’s certainly not written in stone. History has lots of moving parts.

Even with a proportional split by population, sparser red states win out in the House. For example, California has one electoral vote for every 705,000 people, one Senate seat for every 19.9 million people, and one House seat for every 732,000 people. Wyoming, with 584,000 people, gets three electoral votes (one per…

That doesn’t logically imply that California couldn’t also make it on its own if necessary. Sure, being part of the US is great, but New Zealand functions just fine without Daddy Asia or Poppa Australia.

The Senate gives waaaay more outsized power to tiny red states than the House does. Problem is, the Constitution was built on slavery and there’s no real way to get around it.

The kiddie rapes started on Clinton’s watch! Rush was right!

Eh, I hope I’d have the human decency to creep as far away from the limelight as possible.

What exactly did Paterno accomplish? Won some football games at the expense of a bunch of concussions inflicted, soaked up a bunch of tax dollars on the backs of free labor, abetted a kiddie rapist. I mean, what exactly did he do that was good?

I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt, because their cognitive biases are the same ones that helped the human race survive for millennia. They just haven’t realized we’re 6,000 years off the tundra.

One good aspect of this determined, stated, and wholesale destruction of the federal government—but instead of fighting, just move to the state where you don’t have to fight.

I originally thought the same. In retrospect, going further left may have been a winning move for Democrats. Now it might happen by necessity. We really could support four or five distinct parties in this country if the system wasn’t rigged against it.

I don’t know, I only started thinking of them as stupid when they started voting for Trump.

Preach. Here I am paying school vouchers for Confederate-flag waving people with “Hillary for Prison” bumper stickers. I was raised dirt poor in a Southern trailer park and still managed not to be a racist, fascist asshole. Maybe a liberal-leaning-libertarian asshole, but at least I don’t worry about who is pissing in…

Cambridge Analytica drives social media. Most assholes are really nice in real life.

No, just that the guy who co-founded the movement is an American living in Russia. Take that leap if you want. It’s no crazier than anything else.

FAKE NEWS

I don’t know why economics is the central debate in secession. To me, it’s purely about not wanting to live in a place where racism is emboldened, where violence seethes in every discussion, and where those “small-government fascists” want to control our health, bodies, and minds.

Or, you know, they could TRADE for water since they will have lots of things that other nation-states might want.

I voted against my own interests—as an older straight white male with some money—so that others could have health insurance, a slightly more accommodating society, and a further step toward human progressivism. I’m done. Let them die by the fucking millions. The first blue state that secedes and embraces liberal…
