The reason for secession was the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

TRUMP THE LAST CONFEDERATE GENERAL  LOSES IN THE LAST CONFEDERATE BATTLE 2.0

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Grand Old Party! We got revenge murder, tax loopholes for richies and less services for you! We partner with COVID to own the libs by dying! We got kids in cages, and a kid who shot people. Statues! We’re very fine people with guns!

If you’ve been wondering how long the GOP might stay in denial about Trump’s loss, it might be a good time to recall that many of these same individuals are in denial about the loss of the confederacy in 1865

126 GOP signed on. 126 republicans just committed political suicide.

It is not a lack of evidence of election fraud stalling Trump’s victory. It’s a lack of courage and integrity in enforcing our laws. The election fraud hoax will go down as one of the most embarrassing and dishonorable episodes in American political history, and countless Republican officials went along with it and promoted it.

Absolutely incredible — attorneys claiming to be representing the “states” of “New California” and “New Nevada” just filled an amicus brief in support of the Texas – led lawsuit seeking to overturn election results in 4 states

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written after the Civil War to bar from government any traitors who would seek to destroy the Union. My letter to House leadership today demands that 126 Republicans (and counting) are violating the Constitution.
The text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States. Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that.

The @TexasGOP is out with a statement in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, all but calling for secession. “Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”

Antebellum 2.0 has no economic base.
Antebellum 2.0 must pay for itself carry shitty blue flags.

The USD is the reserve currency of the world and no bank ever lost a war.

What bank in 2020, anywhere on the globe, during the deepest global recession since WWII, in a pandemic, would loan a bunch of racists and fascists money?

Hint: no bank, not even in Russia or China

“Hi, [international bank in some other country]! I’m from the New South and we’d like to fund a war against America.”

“Hmmm… you have a deal.”

“Great! So for next steps…”

(line goes dead)

Onions and Bitcoin.

True story: the result of my Congressional lobbying in 2018 was an Agriculture committee hearing where we had the phrase “blockchain commodity” coined by a member of the committee.

People were like “Why is Ag talking crypto?”

Because THEY approve commodity laws. Not Finance.

Do you ever wake up and say: “gee, I really wish I could trade onion futures today!” Well, you can’t. Because this is America. And in America we don’t let you speculate on onion futures.

Ahhhh… the storied tale of Victor Kasuga and how he cornered the onion market… which is why Bitcoin has no ETF.
Any commodity so narrow in production it can be bought out… is too easy to manipulate.
