texas secession.... not

[rdking647]

remmeber all the idiots calling for texas to secede. talking about how texas could easily survive as its own country... one of the things they talk about is texas having its own independent power grid...

because texas has its own grid they cant get power from other places in an emergency.
it going to be in the single digits in texas tonight. and they may have to start rolling blackouts because the stress on the grid is to much.

1. We got a notice from the governor to keep temps low and save on electricity.

2. The very fastest way to shut down the talk of Texas seceding from the US...

Tell them they lose all their NBA, NFL, NBL rights, AND Their so called GREAT colleges & university's can't play in the NCAA.

They'd be begging to be let back in.

10. No more Dallas Cowboys.

Hey, on second thought, please proceed to leave TX.

3. Do not believe the hype. Just remember that 5,259,126 Texan voted for Biden.

An amount that would have put many states over the mark for his candidacy.

8. And Tarrant County Voted Biden/Harris BFD

I was so thrilled we turned Tarrant Blue. May she continue to do so!

4. There's also the maintenance on that massive network of roads in TX....

and I'm guessing a lot of federal excise tax dollars on gasoline sales go towards that need.

While working some jobs there, I asked some Texans how they were able to build such a complex network of interstate highways and they all attributed them to past oil booms. But, then comes the maintenance.

If they seceded, they could say goodbye to NASA and several military bases.

Texas should tax their people based on the size of the bumpers on their pickup trucks....

KY..........

5. There's no support for it.

In polls, secession is rarely any higher than 20% here in Texas. There are few indications that that will change anytime soon.

15. DU makes the biggest deal about this...

Just because stupid Kyle Beidermann filed a bill.

And everyone knows the bill won't even get a committee hearing. It's just a vanity move on his part for 15 minutes of fame....

6. Pay your share of the national debt on the way out.

Pay your share of the national debt on the way out.

Gold or oil... None of that Confederate money stuff.

9. Mercy rule, please. It is at this moment very painful in Texas. Most housing can't retain

sufficient heat below freezing in Texas. I know from childhood experience. People and animals will die tonight.

11. Please, please, please stay warm, and be careful.

We may diss Texas occasionally, but we know beyond a doubt there are many good Democrats there.
Know we love you!

12. Yikes! I've got liberal Dallas area friends. : (

14. I'm in South Texas and it is 11 degrees right now...Inside my house it is 74 degrees

And I live in South Texas, where our homes are not built for cold.

Yes, our homes are not built for cold, but most homes will stay well above freezing....

Cold is short lived, so homes are not build for extended cold and to keep warm, my furnace is cranking

Likewise, homes up north are not built for Texas type summers.

My house is not built for cold, but I did get new insulation in 2019 due to a rodent problem, so tonight I'm glad for that.

13. In South Texas, we're actually getting power from Mexico..LOL

In 2011, we had rolling blackouts...today we're drawing power from Mexico and we're not having rolling blackouts.

Texas is not going to secede. It's just one dingleberry's stupid idea. The bill won't go anywhere....It's like having vanity plates that say, "Secede"
