C’mon, I think we all know what you’d do with those nukes

Oh and the only flaw I can see with the plan for Greg is I think usually only phony subsidiary corporations can get saddled with all the debt from someone else accumulated, so we probably just need a fictional “Greg, Inc” (or Grey Gink if we want to get all phonetic about it) to be created and assign that “non-person-but-with-the-rights-of-a-person-but-not-all-the-rights-cuz-who-wants-a-corporation-bearing-arms” all the debt. Then it should be perfectly legal and in keeping with all the generally accepted accounting practices and what-not

I feel like Frank was just trolling us with that one

But the nukes allow you NOT to have to pay the debt! It's all connected, man...

The nukes are easy, at least the big ones; they're in red states already (although Montana is becoming a little iffy with all the Hollywood types moving in) so just leave them there.

If you do get custody, though, and find you need to use one or two, give me a call. I know how, and if we can bypass those pesky launch codes by making up some of our own, it'll go much faster.

About time that infernal Greg is getting his comeuppance!

The more I think about this, the less it about red states and blue states. It's more like blue megacities (like Dallas/Fort Worth, Baltimore, Washington DC, Los Angeles, etc.) against red rural areas. If you've looked at a map it looks like an ocean of red with little dots of blue.

So maybe instead of a divorce, it should be more like building walls around the megacities and let them live like they want, while the rural areas get left alone.

Or maybe we should move people out of the cesspools and send them out into the world and let them get back in touch with nature. If they had their own farms and had to grow their own food, they'd realize that all the communistic crap doesn't mean anything when you have to grow your own food and take care of your family.

But that's just my rambling thoughts.

There are more than two big problems. Are you going to just stop VA benefits (including pension payments) to disabled veterans? And are you going to stop paying Social Security to all the old people who paid into it their emtire working ng years?

If I say there are only two problems then there are only two problems.

I hate to tell you, but any money older people have paid into SSI is long gone. It's been stolen by congress, and IOU's left in the box.

Now it's younger people getting shafted to care for the retirees.

It's why I want to rely on something other than the government when I retire.
