> [@Monty](#): > > Nikki Haley is preaching [Texas succession](https://us.yahoo.com/gma/nikki-haley-says-texas-secede-185700053.html) Is this some sort of auto-correction thing? Because you confused me. “Texas succession” is about who gets to be gov when Greg Abbott dies. ---

No. It’s about I was in a bit of a hurry and spelled the word incorrectly. The lunatic-in-question is preaching secession. I’m glad you mentioned it so I can correct my error. ---

Another breaking story about a beheading involving the GOP, but it involves Satan instead of YouTube. Remember, the Republicans support religious freedom as long as it’s their religion. > **[Man who destroyed Satanic Temple altar in Iowa charged under hate crime law](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-destroyed-satanic-temple-altar-iowa-charged-hate-crime-law-rcna136688)** > > The Baphomet altar put up by the Satanic Temple was allowed to be in the Iowa Capitol, but it drew criticism from national conservatives. ---

Texas can go but they have to take Florida too. Both have to pay back all the excess Federal funds received from taxpayers and purchase at fair market value the various military and government installations. jk ---
