Impressive that the archdiocese has the bandwidth to fire a widower for his gay marriage, while simultaneously juggling their bankruptcy in order to dodge restitution to the 600 raped kids.

Looking at the linked map, the raped states are:

• New Mexico
• Colorado
• Wyoming
• Montana
• Idaho
• Utah
• Arizona
• Nevada
• California
• Oregon
• Washington

If these 11 states were to secede, they would have a fiscal advantage because many of them give billions of dollars more in federal funding than the non-donor states receive.

They would also take with them all access to West Coast ports, as well as all western USA water rights including the Columbia River and the Colorado River. Of course, Mike Lee would need to be ejected. Preferably from a canon.

Since 2017, Utah’s Mike Lee has been on a mission - this time not Mormon - to demolish National Monuments. He began in his own backyard, targeting Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, for fossil fuel drilling. He’s been colluding with Trump for 8 years to hand over millions of acres of protected land to oil and gas.
