"SNIP......

Donald Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn warned at an Arizona campaign event that governors may soon “declare war.”

Said Flynn: “States’ rights. Did you know that a governor can declare war? A governor can declare war. And we’re going to probably see that.”

......SNIP"

Christ, this guy is tedious. Why isn’t he in jail? Yes, he was ‘pardoned’ by his fellow traitor, but he seems to be incapable of staying out of trouble. There must be something he can be arrested for before he sets the wingnuts on fire.

Flynn-Stones
Meet the Flynn Stones
They're the modern stone-age family
From the Hotel Willard
They made plans to kill democracy

Let's ride in the limo with Mike Pence
His life isn't worth eleven cents.

When you're with the Flynn-Stones
Have a G.O.P. sedition
A great new year tradition.
They’re dropping LSD.

I altered the last line to indicate Flynn’s current mental state.
If you like it, steal it.
I am interested in results, not credit.

Thanks for the reply.

Why did Texas go to war with Mexico?

It stemmed from the annexation of the Republic of Texas by the U.S. in 1845 and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River (the Mexican claim) or the Rio Grande (the U.S. claim).

Oh, and here's what the Constitution has to say:

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

The clip is too short to be sure, but it sounds like

18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

I watched my dad and his buddies (Ds & Rs) arguing over if there where ever another civil war in this
country would it be blacks against whites or the poor against the rich and who would start it.

None of them suggested one political party killing the other political party. How times have changed.

No, Michael. A governor cannot declare war. And they DEFINITELY can't declare it against the United States Government.
