Republicans on the US House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee universally voted against an amendment on Wednesday that would have prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using federal funds to detain or deport US citizens.
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal from Washington proposed the amendment to a budget bill, which was approved in the House of Representatives on April 10. She stated that since President Donald Trump began his second term, “a troubling pattern has emerged with US citizens being detained by immigration authorities,” citing numerous examples over the past few months. Jayapal described this trend as “unconstitutional, dangerous, and fundamentally wrong.”
Depends.
Clearly it would be better for the blue states to break away. Blue states have most of the money, people, and innovation.
But that would clearly drive the red states to start a war to keep the blue states under their control. Blue states would probably win because that’s where all the brains, money, and people are, but still, war. So that’s not great.
Personally, I’m getting to the point where I don’t care about the bloodshed. It’s a question of whether we’re going to let the dumber parts of America sink the whole ship or peel away and save ourselves.
Honestly yes. I would enlist if it meant my blue state could secede from this shithole of a country.
I already enlisted once, and I’m stuck in a red state. I would happily move to a solid blue state and turn my firearms toward the redcoats if it came to a civil war.
The real question is would they let me move.
