      People don’t seem to realize that “live by the sword” is just the first half of the common expression. On a related note, if we don’t have a plan to retake the southern states (again) stashed away next to the Canada invasion documents, somebody ought to get on that.

        The plan to retake the southern states is quite literally just to let them kill themselves. Not one of them are self sufficient without federal funding. If they decide to bite the hand that feeds they’re going to have an awful time trying to find their own food.

          With their chronic conditions and co-morbidities, all you would have to do is cut off the medication supplies and they would be done within weeks.
