Petraeus wanna go there? Im ALL IN Marley23
No. Like I was saying, all you have to do is register an account is enter a first and last name and a zip code. There is no verification, and there’s no way to restrict what petitions people sign based on location because that wasn’t the intent of the site. Here is the Texas petition. In the ten most recent signatures I can see, there are three people who didn’t give their location, three alleged Texans, and one person each who purported to be from North Carolina, Iowa, Florida, and Nebraska.
I could not care less. On the scale of being “ALL IN” for something, signing an online petition rates even lower than a bumper sticker.
400,000-plus sign petition urging Macy’s to dump Donald Trump:
I think we should just let this continue until all fifty states have asked to secede. And then let them all go.
I figure it’ll be just like what happened in 1860. As soon as those states secede, they’ll get together and form a new country with the same constitution.
Then the people in the fifty states of this new country will want to choose a leader. So they’ll have an election to pick their President.
And we’ve just found out who these people will pick as their President.
Thousands of petulant conservative crybabies throwing an internet temper tantrum because they lost some elections in which they embarrassed themselves with repellent candidates and dumb policy positions does indeed make an ugly picture.
It does not, however, make any kind of picture that is even remotely impressive. All these petitions show is that some thousands of petulant conservative crybabies are able to click a mouse.
If they thought there was the remotest possibility that they might actually get their demands and have to do the real work of creating and running a national government, instead of just sitting around in front of Fox News and bitching about the real government, they’d be shitting themselves in terror.

Last time States wanted out South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas… well you know what happened.

I do. A bunch of racist slavery-loving shits started a real live war rather than give up the privilege of enslaving and maltreating fellow human beings.

They got out. That wasn’t left and right it was North and South. But don’t worry history never repeats its self.

You mean, might a new bunch of racist shits start another real live war because they’re having a hissy fit at their government?
Nah, I don’t think so. Remember, we’re talking petulant conservative crybabies throwing an internet temper tantrum here.
I don’t sign petitions. What i meant is Im ALL IN on the Petraeus story/ soap opera. It’s interesting as the plot thickens. FYI Bumper stickers = road rage
If a state secedes then its residents would forfeit entitlements.
Now let them vote on it.
You never finished Gone with the Wind, did you?
Ridicule is the best disinfectant. I love the idea of the petition to deport these fools.
Maybe I’ll start one to deport Creationists…
Considering Delaware is a fictional state invented by corporations to give themselves tax breaks, I imagine all the votes are from out of state 
But seriously, yeah most of the votes are from out of state. The whole site is a ridiculous waste of time. Maintaining a website for online petitions is just a silly thing for the White House to do. Does anyone expect anything but crap from it?
Common sense prevails!
For some reason, I keep thinking of the Heinlein story, “Coventry”.
The petitions and their signers are good for a giggle.
I signed the one that said to “deport everyone”. I stopped reading the proposal after that, because it just seems like the right thing to do.
:rolleyes: It wasn’t funny when Jerome Corsi did it, either.
Nah, only allow them to get flu shots containing the previous year’s formulation . . . then expose them to this year’s flu strains.

Sam Houstonwon the Battle of San Jacinto–where Santa Ana was finally defeated; he was Governor in 1861.
He’d accepted the vote for Secession but refused to swear allegiance to the Confederacy & was deposed from the Governorship. Houston’s opinion of Jefferson Davis, variously worded from different sources: “ambitious as Lucifer and cold as a lizard.”
Just a very small addition to the thread. After secession, I wonder how Arizona will protect their borders, especially the one with Mexico? I see a Mexican takeover in Arizona’s future…
I expect the Mexican government would not require IDs be displayed from the ex Arizonans after they take over the state. But most of us wouldn’t be allowed to own guns as Mexicans.
I pick dibs on the copyright for the idea of this potential satirical book and following movie.
I daresay many Arizonans see it in the recent past.
So, what you’re saying is, we should find the petition-signers, burn their houses down, and then make documentaries where we slowly pan over pictures of the wreckage to the mournful strains of Ashokan Farewell?
I mean, hell, I’m not doing anything else this weekend.
It’s more ironic then funny that members of the party of Lincoln would become the new Confederates after the election of our first black president.
If they are making clear their intent to leave the union why persist in calling them United States citizens?
The usual way to do this is to go to the U.S. embassy or consulate in a foreign nation and sign an oath to that effect.
They’ll have to do it on their own dime.
It could be helpful to print up some pamphlets instructing them how to do that and where in Argentina and Liberia to go.
There’s no provision to take your land out of the United States of America with you.
