Oregon state senator introduces bill to give 65% of Beaver State to Idaho, after conservative residents of 11 counties voted to join its GOP-voting neighbor
2023-01-16
  • State Senator Dennis Linthicum introduced Senate Joint Memorial 2

  • Also known as the 'Greater Idaho' bill, it would move 11 counties to Idaho

  • The bill was introduced in the wake of Oregon's recent state elections

  • Democrats hold governor's mansion and majorities in the state legislature
    ...so it’s a feel-good effort that won’t pass.

#13  Balkanization was the goal - and by all accounts they're going to get it. It's not just ID. The entire country has chosen sides. We are in the process of sorting ourselves out into our respective dugouts (which is where I'm at right now). They've got theirs, and we've got ours. Once that is done, well then we all get to ask ourselves if we're up for The Game.

#12  A futile gesture at this point, but a warning for the future.

#8  Understand. Big Bro Mundi did post doc at Wash State back in the day and even then I was wondering why. He's lived in Brooklyn that past 2 decades. The guy craves operating from behind enemy lines. Not me.

#6  Warthog makes a good point. Take those counties and kick Boise to E. WA. Those folks in E. OR would pump much needed red blood into ID. That should hold the state over until I arrive to establish Sturmpunkt Mundi, which will provide excellent access to the Heartland... with apologies to 746 for what CA has done to your fair state.

#4  I think Idaho has more than enough to deal with their own urban LSDs to worry about than fractionals from the counties.

#3  I'm not overly worried about the LSD %. Those folks in the eastern part are mostly ranchers and solid folk. Those LSDs in these counties will have to give up pot as it's not legal here...that might be an issue for them.

#2  /\ Deport them back to what is left of Washington State.

#1  Warning to Idaho.
Depending on the county, there will be 25% to 40+% LSD's mixed in.

What are your plans to handle those that opposed the move, and will attempt to bring their insanity with them?
