Mississippi Lawmaker Calls for State to 'Succeed From the Union' Over Biden Win

[ElprofesorJuan]

A Mississippi politician has apologized after he called for his state to "succeed" in wake of Joe Biden's presidential victory.

"We need to succeed [sic] from the union and form our own country," State Rep. Price Wallace wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

The post was in response to a thread by Wallace's fellow state Rep. Robert Foster, who is among the GOP lawmakers who have questioned Biden's projected win over President Donald Trump.

"Not sure who all needs to hear this but we are not a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic. The majority does not rule, the law derived from a Constitution has the final say," Foster tweeted. "... After all legal votes are counted and confirmed by their state legislatures Republicans will accept the results even if it’s not in our favor. The same way we did with Obama twice."


Wallace made his account private early Wednesday following widespread backlash over his secession comment. He made the account public several hours later and issued an apology over his secession statement.


Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn also denounced Wallace's controversial statement, and insisted the lawmaker was "remorseful" for what he said.

"We certainly do not condone nor agree with Price’s comment, but I have spoken to Price, and he is very apologetic and remorseful for what he said," Gunn told Mississippi Free Press. "He deeply regrets his comment and as I understand it has issued an apology and a retraction."

And people think we should let these people choose the next president, lol.

Misspelling "secede" is about the most Mississippi thing I've ever heard in my life.

Considering Mississippi is last in Everything and takes in more money than gives. It may be best if they leave the Union. I am kidding just like the above politician was. Time to set the account to private.

If Mississippi leaves the union, will the SEC replace ole piss and MSU with UCF and Texas?

I love your thinking.. Let's make it happen.

Wishful thinking. Mississippi can't secede, and if they do they certainly won't succeed: they are too much of a welfare hog, sucking down federal aid dollars from all the useful and productive blue voting states.


And if they do secede, the sec is too powerful, they'll just make it an international conference and then self felate themselves even more about how awesome they are.

According to Wikipedia, that’s the third most popular tramp stamp in Mississippi. Same one my mammaw had. She got it in prison. The way her back fat folded, everyone thought it said “sushi.”

 

[fried-chicken]

I would love this. Take alabama and arkansas with you on the way out.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Oh no. Not Mississippi. Please don’t take West Virginia, Alabama, and Arkansas with you.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

I thought they were actually coming around after they ratified the 13th amendment in 2013.

 

[NinjaKnight]

Lol mississippi takes in over $2 for every $1 they lay in federal taxes.

Federal aid 40% of their total states GDP

Direct federal spending is over 30%(!) of their states total spending

Lmao go ahead and "succeed" you stupid inbred cow licking idiots. The US will be far better off without you.

After our Usual Suspects were laughing pre-election about California seceding from the Union when Trump won, it's sweet karma to hear America's economic engine, Mississippi, wants to secede since Joe Biden won.

Inbred idiot chuds arguing that MS seceding is the same as Cali seceding makes about as much sense as comparing this election to 2000.

Cali has a GDP of $2.8 TRILLION.

If Cali was a country it would have the 5th largest GDP in the world. Bigger than the entire UK.


These idiots on here equating the two just have zero critical thinking skills. The best they can hope to do is parrot some far right talking points spoonfed to them on OAN. They don't have the spare brain bytes to actually analyze the situation.

 

[goodknightfl]

Calif Dems have threatened to do the same for years. I am not sure it would be a bad idea.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

MS is somehow last in education and last in GDP per capita. But I hear they have the most churches and invented root beer.

Holy shit my sides, I can not breath.

You have to be a troll. No one can be as mind numbingly stupid as you try to appear and not have been killed off by your idiocracy long ago.

Read the post DIRECTLY ABOVE YOURS and come back and tell us you are faking these stupid posts to make trump supporters look even dumber than they actually are.

Can't even man up for your own stupidity.

Honest question: why are morons like goodknight allowed to determine the future for the rest of us? People like him and the MS "succeed" sheriff and millions of others obviously have some sort of mental incapacitation. They can't be trusted to make the correct call, why does their voice count the same as an educated persons choice?

 

[sk8knight]

In Mississippi's favor, they are only 34th in state debt per capita at $2,499. For reference, Massachusetts and Connecticut lead at $11,043 and $10,877 respectively.

Of course, they are also close to the lead in percentage of budget supplied by federal funding, so there's also that.

In seriousness, maybe our country should be split. It’s a country of 330 million inhabiting a huge landscape. When Lincoln fought to preserve the Union, it was a country of around 30 million. The economies of Texas, Florida and New York would be the strongest in East America (or America part 1). West America (or America part 2) would have California.

There are certainly a lot of factors in a split, but the U.S. is the third most populous country on the planet and to have it all under one federal government, that is becoming increasingly powerful, is not ideal. Reducing the power of the federal government and getting away from a horrible two party system (so that more viewpoints are represented) is probably an easier option, but it stills leave the difficulty of trying to unify the most diverse country in the history of the world.

I’m just a dummy on the internet , so who knows...

I'm with you. It would be better to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. As far as a split, it goes against human nature. Consolidation, order, power is the direction people naturally go so undoing that would be pretty unsettling. It'll happen eventually but it won't be easy or fun. Kind of like divorce, you're basically just trading one set of problems for another.

New York and California are already blue and its clear from the changing demographics in Texas and Florida that those states are on the verge of becoming blue. So where do you want to reside in "red America"? Mississippi, Oklahoma or North Dakota?

Nothing that drastic is needed. Just:

1) Ditch 2 party system. Even the founding fathers warned about it.

2) Require some sort of intelligence test to vote. Stupid votes should not count the same as intelligent votes. Just remember that at one point, a group of people voted to change the value of Pi to 4.

America #2 wouldn't stand a chance. All the backwoods isolated states with only 30% of the GDP of the US?

If thats true about Florida and Texas, why did the Republicans improve their numbers amongst minorities?

USA 2 would be one of the top 5 biggest economies in the world. Yeah, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Gross. I like Georgia. Florida will stay a swing state. It’s America’s wang and we like to swing it around.
I’m not sure what Texas is doing. It’s being filled with people that don’t want to pay to live in a progressive state, but still want those policies.

To be clear, this is just a thought experiment and again, I’m kind of an idiot(ask my wife).

Ninjas racism once again rears its ugly head. Your intelligence test would deny a disproportionate number of black and latino immigrant voters from their right to vote. Would Somali immigrants in Minneapolis be denied their right to representation? Yep.

Yes. An IQ test should make smart votes 4 points, dumb votes get 1. This should replace the electoral college. As it stands, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is on his way.

I think you bring up some interesting points. I think that countries should be formed on commonality values and ideals over geography, with the exception that security is still important even though we tend to forget that because no one is capable of threatening us domestically in our current configuration.

Security would end up being a system like NATO. A military alliance.

Nope. Its not exactly a secret that immigrants from 3rd world countries have lower education levels than people that were born here.

It's a real head-scratcher to me that anyone could study American history and tout a separation based on "common values and ideals." I would argue that a set of common values and ideals is what unites us and what has kept us healthy and strong for 250 years is the constant checks and balances that tug on us and challenge us due to our differing politics.

But when our politics get in the way of our "common values and ideals" (you know, little things like celebrating our democratic system instead of trashing it), we're in trouble.

What kind of openly racist human sack of garbage is saying immigrants are not intelligent?

Jesus fuking christ you people are disgusting.

I'm sure their immigrant ancestors are spinning in their graves.

Probably isn’t. There are a lot of really smart people that have horrid political beliefs. There are probably some dumb people that have enough sense to try and limit the control of government. Obviously. most people will be in the middle and it also not really a fair way to choose who represents us. It’s just an idea people throw out when they are disturbed by the electorate (as we should always be).

 

[Crazyhole]

Now we are to the point of saying that people that come from places with zero educational system are equally intelligent as people who have 13 years of education (at least) ? My goodness, virtue signaling has reached a new level.

Is it perfect? Definitely not.

Is it better than letting people who think COVID is a conspiracy theory and wearing masks is a part of the reptilian overlords control scheme vote? Definitely so.
