And then Russia starts trading with the Confederacy to fuck the US over harder. What are you going to do, sink Russian merchantmen?

Trading what? What does Texas produce? I honestly don’t know.

Oil? I know Russia doesn't exactly lack in that regard, but still. Various state secrets. The point is the whole "let them leave, they'll come crawling back soon enough" schtick is almost criminally stupid because it assumes the rest of the world doesn't exist.

Nearly 40% of their exports are petroleum products, followed by various electronics components, at about 5%.

Knowing that I'm not objective myself, I would class Whembly as tribal, but not a 'culture warrior'. The second is the real problem and poison on Dakka, because the no direct politics ban doesn't stop them. Whembly is not the problem of Dakka now, but the mods are unwilling to recognize that. Moving politics might move Whembly off Dakka, but its not taking out the infection that exists there now, it won't reduce acrimony, because the people doing it revel in it. Oh, definitely. I'm pretty sure he cares a lot about guns, abortions, taxes and geopolitics, and doesn't care much about female space marines, black space marines, and boob armor. I mean, he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right that makes him an "old-school" republican rather than the new gamergate breed of reactionary culture warrior. Well... I don't mind "boob" armour, because I'm a Neanderthal who likes boobs. But, you're pretty much spot on there.

Imagine thinking the problem is people are "butthurt" and not sick of playing conversation whack-a-mole with the same tired, played out, thoroughly debunked lies over and over and over again.

So the Electoral College has voted, and Biden won in a massive landslide victory. The election ended in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. The Republicans suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of the US.
I wonder if Trump's supporters will accept defeat now.....

Let me guess, his resignation letter is just like all the others so far in the Trump admin: gushing about how honored he was to serve Trump, no mention of how honored he was to serve the country or the people.

I haven't read the other resignation letters, but Mattis' resignation letter at least wouldn't fit that description.
