2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm curious about something. Does anyone recall the President of Mexico saying they'd reclaim land
under the Mexican American Treaty (perhaps of 1790), if Trump was elected President? Perhaps this was just an idle threat and joke...but I'm kind of curious to know where that's at.

Just idle threats, unless you believe Mexico and the US are going to war.

None of us in our right mind ever...ever...ever believed Donald Trump was going to our next President. So, yeah...I'm going way out there. I'm all on board for CA, OR and WA seceding!

And once Tejas was firmly back in the hands of Mexico you would probably see Democrats in favor of building a wall.
