There's 2 MORE CONFEDERATIONS over night! WHAT KINDA PASSPORTS WE GONNA HAVE? How are they gonna police the Erie Canal? I don't know about those "live free and die" people getting along with the the old salts and Bush family compound and the artisanal farmers--that looks like trouble to me. And seems like just yesterday RI didn't want to let NY'ers across their border!

I and other US experts have predicted for a long time that this artificial nation with multiple ethnic and religious groups will not survive a serious crisis without fragmenting into warring statelets. The question now is will anyone be able to unite the opposition? https://t.co/JceKxneoGo

I personally predicted that the US will fragment along the lines of the NBA model with East and West groups and divisions within each

Like they got tired of waiting for it to just fall off & decided to lop it off instead?
Sounds like some evil scheming Japanese shit - shoulda known. Bet they'll take Hawaii too,
just to get those old retired Fleetwood Mac geezers & the Maui Wowie.
But should snag Baja - half of them have RVs with extension cords running back to San Diego.
Build a wall? leave that for Ciudad Jaurez - we don't need no steenking planches.

I'm just hoping this doesn't

Totally agree with him:

The way the East Coast writes about the West Coast--condescending, informed by quaint and dated visions, unaware of their own waning centrality to human affairs--reminds me of how Europeans used to write about the US (and still do occasionally). https://t.co/u3QY9ZlTv5

Which leads us to the recently-announced....

WESTERN STATES PACT!

This is some Axis & Allies-level shit. I still can't quite believe it.

Well...some would say the Founding Fathers provided for this in the Constitution.https://t.co/cayar9BrLN

And I furthermore think Newsom is shaping up as being the best of all the governors, leaving the rest in the dust.
