Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Lol okay, have fun eating all that seed corn and cotton.
Truth is they could just import crops from other countries until they build a water desalination and piping network to provide water throughout the whole state... country? 🤔 And if they did that, then they feasibly could survive on their own
But that would require actual care for its citizens, planning and forethought.
Also a lot of electricity….which they’re not great at.
They could just put solar and wind across the state, but again, planning, forethought, caring
lol. Solar and wind power. Are we talking about the same state?
Texas has the most wind power of any state last time I checked.
Thank you for the info, I checked and you’re correct. I am genuinely surprised.
Texas could benefit a lot from green energy without the baggage of nuclear, honestly. But try telling that to its people
Exactly my point. The flag of Texas should have a person cutting off their nose and the state motto should be “take that, Face!”
What do you mean voting for our own best interests?
What countries would want to work with them knowing it would likely hurt relations with the US? How can they even afford it?
Russia. North Korea, perhaps.
<.< Over which border/through which airspace?
Fair
