I filmed a Disney afterschool thingy outside of Austin years ago. We were at a lake - really liked it there. Brought back a case of Shiner Bock for all my Texas friends in L.A. Edited by Coast2coast, Apr 21 2016, 03:13 PM.

I take that as a no. So you have no idea about Kansas - so your opinion regarding it is irrelivant. |

If they keep giving the idea lip service eventually the people of Texas will have a republican primary frontrunner with a plan to build two walls. |

It's like a metaphor for the Republican party strategy for the past generation. Radicalize the base through talk radio and fox news by presenting a completely skewed version of reality for about twenty years and then look shocked when the people elect try to elect a nutjob who embodies that reality. Echo chambers produce voters and nutjobs. |

Ok.....moving back to the Topic slowlllllyyy.....slowwwllllyyy...Texas Independence..pros of letting go versus con of letting them go..Pro...well right off the back there is the relief of having to deal with thousands of illegals who come from Mexico...let an Independent Republic of Texas deal with the problem. The savings from being able to dismantle Lackland AFB and Ft. Hood. Redeploying Ft Hood troops to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma would be a financial boon to the local economy, same as the Lackland personnel to Air bases elsewhere. Cons....well..we'd lose Texas oil production, fishing in Galveston Bay..and Bbq oh that Loss would be devastating...prices would skyrocket |

I don't really think so esto, aside from California and Texas, I don't think there are any other States that could financially make a go of it. |

How many people does Iceland have? or Luxembourg? |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Different circumstances, Iceland and Luxembourg are totally dependent on trade with Europe. Can you see West Virginia on it's own? |

Why wouldn't West Virginia maintain trade? |

Would your ideal Independent West Virginia give the boot to all blacks and legal immigrants? Or just illegals? |
