Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What is the constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government?
A convention of states to amend the constitution; explicitly saying that specific state is no longer apart of the U.S., or inserting another legal route of succession into the constitution.
Much easier, and at the same time much more difficult than civil war.
Uh, no. That's not a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government; that's a constitutional way to amend the constitution.
And why would we want to? I am so fucking proud of Minnesota right now you can't begin to imagine. Why would I want them to leave? They are arguably the very best of us.
No, the one that needs to leave is the orange chancre and his minions. Why are you not talking about that? Minnesota's not the problem here.
Another? I'm still waiting to see the first.
Is it constitutional to amend the constitution? Then how is that not a constitutional way?
You can't tell the difference?
I don't understand how you can't know the difference, because this is your own claim.
Where's that "legal route of succession" that's already in the US Constitution? You know, the "national divorse" by way of the "constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government" you led with. You openly claimed,
Your exact words. So, where is it? A simple enough question for someone as conversant with the US Constitution as you are, right?
This is very interesting to me because you have a lemmy account that's barely a month old, and much of the time you are fluent in English, and other times -- like in your interactions with me -- you seem to be barely hanging on by your fingernails. But either way, you're always desperate to push a narrative, and never able to answer any questions put to you about what you've already written.
So let's talk about that "legal route of succession" that's already in the US Constitution, the "constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government," because YOU cared enough about it to bring it up.
Better yet, let's talk about constitutionally evicting that orange kiddie rapist and doing a 25 for 47, because I'd far rather keep Minnesota in the union. No need to throw out a perfectly good state when one useless syphilitic pedo is the real problem. Do you think he's being paid by Russia, Putin's bitch? Or do you think that $500 million he banked in Qatar from selling stolen Venezuelan oil is the real story? I'm interested in your views on this.
