"Frogs in the pot"

Maybe it's time for a 10 million citizen march in DC?

Maybe the other States will secede out of resentment.

Section 5.c is the one sentence that keeps the States as States.

That is the most important sentence I read. Wonder if it will be 10 Democratic states. I'll bet the other states won't be too happy that a proxy is making plans for them with no input.

We all know the president, regardless of what political party they belong to, will choose those that only support their ideas/programs, and they will be figureheads for "the presidential plans".


That's what i'm thinking now, well of course he's going to choose who suits him best.

Then I got to the last sentence, written by the OP.



I should've known better.


Always a catch with these guys, isn't there? Should have Could have Would have known better.
