No longer finding the rule of the decrepit Great Khan tolerable, the beylerbeys of the Western Horde have seized the opportunity to declare their independence from the central government.

Even if Texas seceded and they were able to “defend the border their way” they couldn’t to it as thoroughly as the federal government is currently doing it.

Please bomb our shitty state Premier Biden. I want to see every dairy queen reduced to a pile of rubble. I want to see Abilene turned into a crater. I want to see every single Tesla charging station in Austin charred and disintegrated.

Kind of surprising Kemp said this lol. He really plays up the chud crowd during gubernatorial elections, but kinda doesn't say too many wild ass things outside of em. This would qualify as kinda out there for him during non campaign season lol

I checked google maps satellite imagery and there are definitely some large warehouse type buildings visible in these shots, which can only mean one thing: the cultural genocide of good ole boys has begun.

Imagine the US trying to keep up with all the wars abroad, and than Texas & Co. decide to secede.
