Time to round up the traitors. If found guilty of sedition and treason, the ringleaders should face a firing squad.

Somebody hasn't thought this through.
YOU haven't thought this through apparently......There will be as many people moving in as moving out If this happens. The conservatives in states that go/stay Blue will far outnumber the liberals leaving.

That was my first thought. But it all take a while for job searching. business and house selling. How many people can just up an move to another state?

They'd have to be self employed or work from home.

You could say that it would even out, in time.

But those bond payments come due. And the last time they come up short on the stadium bonds, that are financed through hotel, motel, rent car taxes, they took the money out of the toll road fund.

But, maybe no worries for those of us in Harris county. It will be the conservatives moving out. The Ds took the county a couple years back. We now have a young woman from Columbia as county judge. She's a quick study.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Texas v White was overturned sub silento in 1996.

You might as well cite Dred Scott to support your claim.

I would like to see him charged with treason, and if found guilty, executed as the law requires.

Enough of these sore losers trying to break up our beloved country. We didn't put up with it when Benedict Arnold did it, and we shouldn't put up with it when Allen West does it.

This kind of behavior is more threatening to the United States of America than anything Hussain or Bin Laden did.

You know you people suggesting gop leaders and voters are unhinged for challenging this election are displaying hubris that isnt elevating the legitimacy of your side.
Its as if you dont realize a four year coup went on to try and overturn the winner of 2016.
Outrageous false allegations about colluding with Russia that were not only untrue but turned out was a setup trom the beginning by your side.
A sham political impeachment that included a parody transcript by Adam "eat" schitt.
And the media absolutely corrupt with bias.
So excuse the god ****ed mother******* **** out of me if I laugh at the self righteous talk about treason, threatening democracy, etc.
"Any means necessary". So ye shall reap so the hand is on the other foot.

Or... You can put a raccoon in an outhouse but you cant get him to make licorice.

Fact.

You people pulled a lot of sketchy **** to put in office a pseudo communist and a senile fool with a son who accepted millions from our most evil rivals surely to buy access to his father, and helped cover that up during the campaign.

You dont know treason.

Sore losers. I recall some calls for secession in 2012 too. What a bunch of unmitigated BS.

So they support a traitor in 2016 and call for secession once again in 2020.

These people are not good citizens.
I dont recall treason in the articles of impeachment for trump. Is this where you blast republicans for not recognizing the legitimacy of bidens win?!
Or encourage us to be like you and call biden a traitor and pursue every avenue to overturn the election?

Punishable, in the US, by death.
Biden says he's ending the death penalty.

It doesn't sound like you ever took the oath, or if you did, you weren't paying attention.
