Yeah even the red states have blue cities, secession is impossible. The country is destined to burn, just hope I get out in time.
Trump’s first reaction tweet is going to be epic. So much for “wisdom and courage”.
“If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede.”
Antonin Scalia
So the Deep State finally got to Scalia
The right is taking this quite poorly. I just blocked my cousin on Facebook to avoid saying anything that I’d regret. She called me a “woketard” and told me not to talk to her anymore, so I blocked her instead of responding.
This is because I posted a link to a Reuters article fact-checking her bullshit post about five minutes before the SCOTUS news came down. She’s now on a rampage.
First family gathering post-pandemic is gonna be lit, I’d imagine.
“Why the fuck did those Losers think I put them on the Supreem Court for? For now. For today. For Crist’s Sake. A right-wing Hack, a drunken Frat boy, and a Woman. Jeesus on a Stick. This means WAR.”
DEFUND THE SUPREME COURT
My FB feed is 60/40 SC&MA residents so I’m enjoying the different reactions.
Last week: “Protesters are America hating Soros paid commies.”
This week:
The exchange is great…
Her: Posts some fake news about a SCOTUS ruling in 1866 meaning that you can’t do government shutdowns.
Me: Link to Reuters fact-check, no other comment
Her: You come out of the shadows. Learn your constitution. Have fun with socialism or communism. Your choice. Tell me how you enjoy it later.
Me: I’m familiar with the constitution. There are Supreme Court rulings from the pandemic in 1918 that confirm that the government has the right to enforce laws/regulations about public health during a pandemic.
Socialism or communism? That’s funny stuff.
Hope you’re well and have a safe and happy holiday season.
Her: Whatever woketard! Get off my Facebook!

We’re a pretty close-knit extended family despite not seeing everyone that often, so this is sort of a big deal. Who was it who said laughing at them will trigger the fuck out of them?
Delete Facebook
Then delete your cousin from your life too.
I barely use it anymore, but it’s the only way I keep in touch with some of my extended family and a couple old friends. I took it off my phone and log in on the computer now and then and spend < 1 hour a week on it now.
In before 106 House Republicans sign on in support of Diamond and Silk.
Extended family seem completely useless to me unless you stand to inherit money when they die. But then again same could be said about most close families. I’m certainly waiting out my asshole father.
