As long as we set up a puppet regime and take their oil, I am fine with it.

Of course. The CIA would basically run Texas.

It would be like doing business with Saudi Arabia, very disgusting but sometimes you have to deal with gross theocratic cultures

No reason to buy from Texas when Canadian crude would run downhill to us.

Probably more like Iraq and Isis.  Same oil and same caliphate, just different religion

If there any good civil engineers on this board, really just need to figure out how to tilt Texas toward Mexico at about a 4% grade and you’ll never hear from Greg Abbott again

I’d be in favor of the Keystone pipeline if Texas left to become a Theocracy.  However, I’d run it to California and subsidize a huge inland refining infrastructure to undercut anything Texas could do.

We could also probably move manufacturing to Texas and pay like $5 an hour.

What do you think would happen if we just crap-canned DC and let the states form their own confederations?

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

If Texas is part of the South the dominance in space exploration and being able to weaponize space to terrorize the inferiors will be absolutely off the charts. 

It would leave only much smaller launch facilities in Cali and Virginia.

The United States of America is broken up, dug.  There is no such thing as the Federal Government of the United States of America anymore.

Not in the proposals I have seen.  The crappy states are allowed to secede.

The budget for NASA is $23 billion.  While Texas is pretty good (compared to deep south leech states Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana) it couldn't fund 1/100th of the Federal space program so the facilities in Houston would quickly wither and become overgrown with weeds.  They can't funs it so it closes within a month.
