"Members of Idaho's House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill that would open up talks between Idaho and Oregon about relocating the boundary line that separates the two western states. The development marks a step forward for the Greater Idaho movement, which says rural Oregon is more similar to Idaho politically, economically, and culturally than to the urban areas of their state.

The bill, which passed on February 15, states "the Idaho Legislature stands ready to begin discussions with the Oregon Legislature regarding the potential to relocate the Oregon/Idaho state boundary, in accordance with the will of the citizens of eastern Oregon, and we invite the Oregon Legislature to begin talks on this topic with the Idaho Legislature."

1. The Oregon Legislature doesn't stand ready, however.

Eat shit, Idaho nutbags. You can't have Spokane, either.

[Peacetrain]

3. I hear you!!!!

[SheltieLover]

2. There is a significant percentage of them who actually believe

that the south won "The War of Northern Aggression."

I see t-shirts on magats...

Not surprising, given what passes for education here.

[Peacetrain]

4. They won the gun thing and now they are ready to go to war with the rest of us

I am thinking

[SheltieLover]

7. They were coddled during reconstruction. Big mistale!

[Peacetrain]

11. No kidding!!! if this comes out like they want.. then they can just head to Moscow

they so love their Putin..

[SheltieLover]

14. I offered go send a young adult maga male there one-way

And told him he needs to understand he would likely be standing in line fir hours for a loaf of bread, only go be turned away.

Jis scrawny, wormy looking posture drooped & he became more pale, then declined.

[Peacetrain]

15. Mr Peacetrain and I have talked about that often.. just offer them a one way ticket to Putin Land

if they are so hell bent on not living in a Democracy..

[SheltieLover]

17. I think it would be a wonderful thing to do, but NO returns!

[Peacetrain]

21. YES!!!!!!!

[SheltieLover]

23. Hold that vision.

Maybe some will want to go help pootin.

[wnylib]

30. Putin can send them to the front with the Wagner group.

Now that the conscripts and recruited prisoners have been decimated at Bahkmut like fodder, he's looking for fresh fodder to kill off.

[LastDemocratInSC]

29. They must have been planning this for a long time.

Here's the website for the city:

26. Yep, should've been hangings of traitorous officials and generals.

Including Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee.

Not doing so allowed the "lost cause" myth to become a noble yearning in generation after generation of traitor descendants.

[SheltieLover]

28. I couldn't agree more!

[anarch]

34. no doubt--every Confederate political leader and all the generals in the CSA should have been hanged

Instead, oh fine, let's just let them all go back home and maintain their leadership roles, that'll work out great.

[SheltieLover]

35. Absolutely! And to this day, their familues brag about them.

[NickB79]

40. Won the gun thing? HA!

Repubs would be shocked by how many Democrats own guns and know how to use them.

We just don't fetishize them like they do.

[Wounded Bear]

5. That actually might help us Dems...

Make Idaho larger, which might gain it one House seat. Meanwhile that would make Oregon bluer, strengthening our Dem seats there.

[brush]

27. Huh? Better do that math again. Red Idaho gaining a House seat...

is not helping Dems.

[tinrobot]

41. Perhaps, but it might help retain Senate seats and a governorship.

[Trailrider1951]

6. If the citizens of eastern Oregon love Idaho so much

They should sell out and move.

[Mr.Bill]

32. If you ever drive through that area

it looks like everyone has already left a long time ago.

[Walleye]

8. Are they building up tanks and troops on the borderline

[newdayneeded]

37. more like skanks and rubes

[kairos12]

9. Guv Ron Deathsentence says this is

a territorial dispute.

[0rganism]

10. looks like the party of Putin is working on agitating a perceived American Donbas region

Might still be a little early to go full Putin-SMO on us but they're definitely putting effort into promoting their causus belli narrative.

Just saw a "greater Idaho" ad on youtube yesterday, a pretty long one too, can't be cheap. Who's funding this madness?

[Peacetrain]

12. That was the first thing that went through my mind!

Where have I seen this before recently.. it is just crazy

[0rganism]

20. this situation reinforces the need for a strong federal government and continued union

Anytime I see people on this site speak favorably of splitting up the USA by state, I cringe. In addition to oppressing stranded minority liberals who lack means to migrate out during such a separation (think Pakistan/India 1947), the red states will happily become expansionist aggressors, seeking to annex additional territory and infrastructure from the richer blue states on their borders. Putin set the precedent in Ukraine, it's like the soviets and the Russian mob wrote the GOP playbook for the last decade.

[Peacetrain]

22. Exactly!!!! So well put.. should be an op on its own

[BWdem4life]

13. Check out their desired map

That's much bigger than I thought they wanted. A real non-starter.

[maxsolomon]

16. They want Bend.

Eastern Oregon is full of bullshit, and there's not even that many cattle there.

[BWdem4life]

18. But does Bend want to be part of Idaho? I think probably not...

[yonder]

24. Yes, not a chance.

[yonder]

19. Every year it's cause for celebration when the lege finishes bidness and leaves town.

They get kookier every year and can't be gone soon enough.

Fat chance of Oregon giving up it's Eastern Front, MFers. Why not devote remaining time to something worthwhile like say, I dunno, improving Idaho's chronic last place standing in K-12 education metrics? It'd be a start.

[mainer]

25. I am assuming most of the tax base is coastal Oregon

So rural Oregon would be cutting themselves off from those resources?

[roamer65]

31. All fun and games until the Oregon National Guard gets involved.

…and involved they will be if Idaho keeps up on this bullshit.

[madinmaryland]

33. Just let Idaho pay the magats in Oregon to move to Idaho.

If the fuckers don’t like Oregon, then fucking move! And don’t let the door hit you in the ass when you leave.

[fightforfreedom]

36. I would like to remind everyone about this.

The MAGA voters who attacked the capitol were chanting 1776 while they carried Confederate flags. These people are idiots. They were lucky more of them didn't get shot on J6. When the MAGA woman was shot all the MAGA idiots ran like hell.

Most MAGA voters are all talk and all stupid.

[tanyev]

38. The louts shall rise again!

[Peacetrain]

39. Sending this back up because TFG is calling for another insurrection..
