Lanny Davis advocates succession and wants a Civil War!
2020-09-27
[Publish.Twitter]
It looks like Lanny has deleted some of his tweets so there are missing points. Each # is a numbered tweet. SOB is advocating succession and likely CIVIL WAR.

For those who don't remember who Lanny Davis is this his Wikipedia entry

This is Hillary Clinton's Lawyer recommending secession from the US.
Democrats did it in 1861, and now they are threatening it again.
Now who's being "divisive"?

1)
DEAR RED STATES; WE'RE LEAVING.
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, we're taking the other Blue States with us...that includes Hawaii, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all the Northeast.

2)
this split will be beneficial to the nation, especially people of the new country including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Washington D.C. We get the vast majority of the major shipping ports...good luck with getting goods in or out of the country affordably.

3)
We also get Costco, Starbucks, and Boeing. You get Texas, Oklahoma, and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Branson, Missouri.
We get Intel, Apple, and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

4)
We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Mississippi.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue; you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's,

5)
we get a bunch of happier, intact families.
Please be aware that California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals.

6)
They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home.
With the Blue States unified, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's freshwater,

8)
more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at your state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal,

9)
all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools -- Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, the Penn, Princeton, and Yale; and Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, and Radcliffe colleges;

10)
plus UCLA, UCB, Stanford, Cal Tech, and MIT.
With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes,

11)
90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Rand Paul.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

14)
Additionally, 62 percent of you believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals,

15)
then we lefties. (See that part about divorces. ...)
Oh, and you can have all the new COVID-19 cases since you're too dumb and self-centered to wear masks.
Peace out.
We are the people of the Blue States

He’s just too cute for words. Note that he has completely forgotten all those productive people and businesses fleeing blue states for red, high and rising crime rates because their Soros DAs refuse to prosecute criminals, and of course their absurdly high budget deficits and debt levels. Even without taking their fair share of the federal debt with them, they will be financially sunk on short order, unable to lean on the connection to the US federal government to borrow the funds they already so desperately need. So keep on making threats as you sneer at us flyover state deplorables — you haven’t got the spine or the honour to go through with it anyway, making this nothing more than extreme political posturing — like chimpanzees pounding their chests and throwing poo.

Democrats be:


He obviously has not considered the by county map.

#18  This is sedition. Throw this sick bastard in jail.

#17   California would be reduced to Hollywood, east LA, and the bay area.

And returned to Mexico by renegotiating the Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo which only required 2/3rds approval of Congress.

#4 Arrest, try, and hang. We went easy on the secessionist last time as part of reconciliation. This time, make an example of them.


We should have done this after the end of the Cold War.

Imagine how much trash we could have removed.

#15  For supporters of the State of Jefferson in California and Oregon, this would be a godsend. California would be reduced to Hollywood, east LA, and the bay area.

#14  Lanny needs an emergency copy of Dale Carnegie's "How To Win Friends and Influence People". Hint: calling the people you are trying to persuade gap-toothed rednecks is not one of the ways.

#13  Lanny, you don't speak for the rest of the people. If you want to secede, please feel free. Or if you prefer another country, adios. Are you looking for support for your cockamamie idea? Thought this was settled a long time ago.

#12  Just a guess, Lanny, but I doubt the residents of New Hampshire (with lots and lots of guns and ammo) will go along with it.

#11  Ref: Red/Blue map

For being a bunch of Leftists they've never read Mao - he who controls the countryside controls the cities.

#10  Minnesota? - Try it.

#9  your terms are acceptable.

#8  Lanny ‘Jefferson’ Davis rise up and declare your independence. Take ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN with you.

#7  This individual is not of sound mind. The person who founded a PR firm which he named Purple State is now advocating civil war between Red and Blue?

This individual's entire career has consisted of representing rogues, scoundrels, and assorted swamp creatures: not just the Clintons but Michael Cohen. Pakistan.Trent Lott.

Either this buffoon has lost his mind, or there's a major head fake happening here. What's his real game? Who's he representing now?

#6  What can I do to help?

#5  Lanny looks like he is used to a calorie deprived diet. Any blue state secession will get used to a lack of food (plus electricity and gas) quickly. Starving and freezing in the dark is no way to go through life, son.

Perhaps.

We'll see in November.
