How long until we start hearing about politicians having legitimate discussions about secession? The whole point of the Union is to help each other out.

California already is having those discussions. They’re collecting required signatures.
That’s just normal CA ballot measure BS. It’s the actual senators and reps that I’m wondering about.
Here in Michigan I am all for it. Fuck these stupid ass southern morons, I don’t want to share anything with them let alone a country. Fuck off and no you can’t have our water, eat shit redneck.
Putin wins
I'm really wishing for a big hurricane seasons this summer

So trump thinks that a president is king and that royal decrees (executive orders) can just do whatever the hell he wants, bypassing senate and all, ignoring existing law
It's not how that works, it's not how anything works, but for some weird reason the Senate just goes with it and for existing law, well, so far judges are striking down all his shit but something tells me that the supre court will just say with the first trial that cheeto is always right and that will be it.
That is how it works as long as no one does anything to stop it.
Same as how Trump is not eligible to be President by the constitution, but that didn't stop him.
In other words: It is exactly how it works.

He's going to form the department of paper towel throwing
California apparently is in the news regarding secession again. But we have to also consider that it’s BS designed to create more divisiveness.
It's established what happens should a state decide to secede. There was a war fought over it. It's not worth speculating about unless it's happening.
