"SNIP......
Donald Trumps 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 were going to probably see that.
......SNIP"

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.
Theyre dropping LSD.

(9,789 posts)I altered the last line to indicate Flynns current mental state.
If you like it, steal it.
I am interested in results, not credit.
Thanks for the reply.
Great job!

(130,895 posts)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).

(42,700 posts)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.

(17,220 posts)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.

(50,557 posts)No, Michael. A governor cannot declare war. And they DEFINITELY can't declare it against the United States Government.
