@jon-nyc said in Mitch talks about ACB's nomination and precedent:

The problem with PR is they’ve rejected statehood in several plebecites.

So, "fuck democracy," eh?

[LuFins Dad]

I’m pretty sure that the last time they had a referendum over 70% boycotted.

When your country falls apart, they'll be the ones deciding on which peace-keeping force to send in to pacify the natives.

I hope you like shiny trinkets.

[Larry]

We're not falling for that again....

We do. I think we still have British trinkets in New Orleans and several Mexican trinkets in San Jacinto...

[Larry]

Now we sell trinkets to Yankees. One they seem to like is a little wooden jack ass that you fill with toothpicks. When you push down on its head the tail raises and a toothpick shoots out its sss....
