Wyoming GOP Reps Planning for Collapse of the United States, Want to Buy an Aircraft Carrier
For those who agree with Ron Paul and friends that the US should withdraw from the world entirely (no foreign aid for you!) and the federal government should be pretty much dissolved in favor of allowing the 50 states to run their own affairs, here's a little preview of the sort of thing we might expect if they get their way:
Then it goes three steps further. An amendment by GOP state rep. Kermit Brown*, calls on the task force to examine "Conditions under which the state of Wyoming should implement a draft, raise a standing army, marine corps, navy and air force and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier." As Miller explained to the Casper Star-Tribune, "Things happen quickly sometimes."

(4,723 posts)A friend just shared this article with me, the article says "Update II: The Wyoming Tribune Eagle's Trevor Brown reports that, as of Monday afternoon, the aircraft-carrier amendment has been scrapped. The rest of the bill to create a Doomsday task force is still alive."

And it'll only defend parts of Wyoming.

(12,530 posts)As such, I think your name for the carrier is perfect.
I saw this moron on a celebrity roast of Donald Trump (was splitting a hotel in SF with a friend else I never would have seen such a thing). It was explained to me that this guy was a colleague of Snooki on The Jersey Shore.
Never have I seen such an idiot take the national stage (and I watch a lot of GOP debates, so that's saying something). I can curse with the best of them, but this guy seemed to use the word "fuck" as a substitute for a poor, poor vocabulary. Really and truly, I can't think of a time when I've been less impressed with a human being. So yes, I want to be on hand for the christening of the Wyomingbagger aircraft carrier, The USS Situation.

Read it in the full context of a possible real hot civil war... and think 1858...
And that is all I gotta say about this. No, they are NOT unhinged... this is a signal.
Oh and yes, I suspect that carrier group will take sail out of somebody's bathtub... since they do not have a deep water port, for real... But I would not laugh.
