Dino Rossi to Speak at an Eastern Washington Secessionist Event
Our buddy from Spokane Valley, Washington State Representative Matt Shea, wants to talk about seceding from western Washington again. And look who he's having over for dinner.
According to the Daily Sun, next Saturday in Wenatchee, Shea is giving a presentation at the Douglas County Republican Central Committee’s Lincoln Day Dinner called “Liberty, the 51st State!”. During the talk, he's sure to extol the virtues of splitting our beloved Evergreen State at the mountain line and calling the left half "Washington" and the right half "Liberty."
As my colleague Sean Nelson pointed out, right after Donald Trump was elected President, Shea and a couple of other Republicans co-sponsored a bill to create the state of Liberty so the Republican party can add two more Senators to its ranks and a few extra members of the House. State legislators have been trying to land this trick for over 100 years and they haven't been able to do so, but they keep trying because what's the definition of insanity again?
Anyway, a room full of real Americans paying $60 for dinner will likely clap along and dream of the day when they'll be "liberated" from a world where King County pays for most of their shit, and Dino Rossi, the sole Republican running for Congress in Washington's 8th Congressional District, will be out glad-handing among them.

Be careful of what you wish for. Eastern Washington survives on state taxes collected in the Puget Sound region.

I like your thinkin'...!
The dream that is Cascadia.
Some day...
Who thinks that maybe there's a reason that Dino Rossi and Darryl Issa are never seen in the same room together ?
