"Who says protest should be peaceful" CNN
This is NOT going to be war because countries regularly breaking into other country's computer systems.
What do you think the NSA does all day?
Every single one of Oklahoma's 77 counties has voted red for president** this millennium.** That including this one.
These isn't a single state-wide elected Democrat, (Governor, Lt. Gov.., AG, Labor Commissioner, Insurance Commissioner, State Auditor, etc.) in Oklahoma.
There isn't a single Democrat in our U.S. congressional or senatorial delegation.
Our state house has a super-majority of Republicans (77-24), as does our state senate (39-9)
The Democratic party is dead to Oklahoma.
I bet we can finish TEXIT before they finish BREXIT.
Let's Do This.
If the left can't keep portions of Seattle from seceding I don't know how they could keep 20 states.
I've talked with members of my state legislature a few times in the past few months and they had already discussed the possibility of joining with Texas and breaking away. I thought they were just talking crazy. It seems unimaginable. But this idea isn't something that just came up this week.
No need to view it, MSM has already debunked.
Turns out, we've always been at war with Eastasia.
This is a good chance to see if you live in the right state.
This is an all out disinformation campaign, for sure. War.
Oddly enough, this tweet was NOT marked as disputed.
It was all a coincidence.
The observers and news crews all got tired at the same time and decided to go home.
The sworn affidavits to the contrary were conclusively debunked by the casual denial of the people alleged to have done the cheating.
Either way, we need all the help we can muster getting the word out. Not everyone is on the donald, and none of the other media is covering this.
My concern is that the federal government made the mess, and I doubt they will clean it up. The politics of it just don't allow it. Oklahoma is just along for the ride.
Another thought - depending on where you live, you may be in a worse position than I am. If you are indian you are subject to the jurisdiction of the tribe, EVEN IF IT ISN'T YOUR TRIBE. If live in another tribes territory you can't vote in their elections but they still have civil and criminal control over you. Taxation without representation. Apartheid.
At least the chief can't have me arrested.
Look, we are not enemies. This isn't about me being mad at you. I understand why, from your point of view, you can't see why this is a big deal. But I work for the state and trust me, people that study this in the government are freaking out - the general public just hasn't caught up yet.
Just one of many examples - remember that pay raise we gave teachers a few years ago? That came from production tax (Oil and gas wells.) But now there's a question of who has the right to collect production tax. That will have a huge impact, not just on teachers, but on all the other state services that are paid for with the production tax.

Finally, I never bashed the tribes, I only pointed out the tribes aren't filled with indians. The tribes are whiter than america as a whole. It's primarily a bunch of mostly white people that have a government monopoly on gambling and sales tax and a strong lobby. Now they own half the state, and the non-tribe members will definately be affected by that. Tom Cole et. al., will do nothing to renegotiate the treaty because they get paid by the tribe. That's what we are dealing with.
What I'm getting twisted up about is the state of Oklahoma will no longer be able to collect taxes on half the state.
How do you think we are going to pay for the roads, schools, pensions, and police if we can't collect taxes?
There's so much more to this, too. You just have to look down the road and consider the implications of all this.
Good luck Tulsa!
For minor crimes, tribal members are tried by the tribal courts. So if you get a DUI, for example the court you go to will depend on if you have a CDIB.
There are still both felonies and misdemeanors on tribal land. But things like the age of consent will be different if you are a card holder.
Unfortunately, this will go far, far past criminal prosecutions. (But even that is going to get crazy.)
It is NOT true that this has nothing to do with people that are not part of the tribes. This will effect everyone. For example, think about the ramifications of the states tax base for the following law suit: https://oklahoman.com/article/5676234/grocery-fights-remitting-tax-to-both-state-tribe#:~:text=OKMULGEE%20%E2%80%94%20A%20grocery%20store%20chain,the%20Muscogee%20(Creek)%20Nation.
While some federal benefits are contingent on 25% indian blood, every tribe sets the own minimum blood quantum for membership. Most of the ones in Oklahoma simply require that you have at least one relative that was on the Dawes roll. https://www.powwows.com/much-percentage-native-american-enroll-tribe/
The tribes own half the state now. As you probably know, the "tribes" are NOT filled with indians. They're filled with people that are 2% indian and 98% white, a la Elizabeth Warren. Yet somehow have a monopoly on gambling and sales tax. They're like a corporation, but now they own the city of Tulsa and probably the eastern half of the state.
The tribes have the strongest lobby in the state, and the politicians that are supposed to be negotiating for Okie citizens are instead hoping to be chief of the chickasaws some day. People are distracted by the covid/blm/election, but if they weren't they would know to be freaked out by all of this. It's going to be much worse than what people understand. The tribe can issue sales tax to only non-tribe members, and use the proceeds for only the good of the tribe, etc.
It's going to be an apartheid system, and people don't know how screwed we are.
Not a single one of the 77 Oklahoma counties voted for Biden.
(In fact, not a single county has voted for a Democrat President this millennium.)
100-46 = 1776
You mean like the communist Stalin? Who we allied with to beat Hitler?
Even when the enemy of my enemy isn't my friend, he can still be a useful/
