Ted Cruz suggests Texas could secede and "take NASA and the military" if Dems "destroy the country"

Yep, we go through this bullshit every time Texas gets butthurt about something/ ANYTHING.
The whole Republican movement is paranoid about the country be destroyed.
It makes no sense that Biden would do that to his own country. They are all mad with paranoia and anger. They invent lies to support a ratbag claim that has no evidence.
 
No, it won’t.

In addition to being un-Constitutional, ‘secession’ can’t happen because neither the residents of Texas nor state lawmakers have the authority to take from American citizens their citizenship through legislative action or referendum absent due process – not all residents of Texas will want to lose their American citizenship; American citizens cannot lose their citizenship against their will.
You're still not aware of the legal doctrine that allows Texas to secede.

It's called the "fuck you, try and stop us" doctrine.
 
Sounds good to me.

Or, all the commies can get the fuck out. That's easier.

But whatever. We can do it the hard way.
Why don't the commies just move home?
They don't like the US, that's evident.
They love and support Russia, just like their dear leader.

Spending July 4 in Moscow?
Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX), are all in Moscow over the Fourth of July holiday this week for talks with Russian lawmakers and officials.

How 'patriotic'.
 
No, it won’t.

So they would be American citizens in a foreign Nation exactly as is the case all over the world now. Who said anything about forcing anybody to change citizenship? Texas would have more than enough people who would voluntarily become citizens of a Texas Republic even if it meant renouncing American citizenship which is also what happened in the last Civil War. You might wanna check history.
 
Sorry Ted, that ain't the way it works. If Texas secedes, we take NASA and the military. ALL of it including the Coast Guard. Next hurricane or freeze - No FEMA so you're on your own buddy. And you'll be out of a job after Texas has no more representation in Congress. Maybe you can organize a citizen army and capture Cancun? :)

Sen. Ted Cruz has called on his home state to secede from the U.S. if Democrats "fundamentally destroy the country," adding that Texas should "take" NASA, the military and the country's oil supply along with it.​
"If they pack the Supreme Court, if they make D.C. a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud, there may come a point where it's hopeless," Cruz said during a speaking event at Texas A&M last month.​
"We're not there yet, and if there comes a point where it's hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil," the Republican added.​


I'm always puzzled as to why you care. Why do you care? You all don't like America and you HATE us. So what? Shouldn't you be thrilled we might finally leave?

Yet every time we bring us secession it's this automatic "don't you dare"! I find that odd

True.

And conservatives lie about America being ‘destroyed’ – indeed, all conservatives have are lies and demagoguery.

The governor and his followers in the Texas legislature should put secession up for a referendum vote. Think they will? Or are they afraid to?
