I keep hearing people throwing this "national divorce" idea around. How exactly would that work? Be specific.

NEW: Rep. Jasmine Crockett suggests the United States needs illegal immigrants because "we done picking cotton."

Crockett made the argument that the U.S. needs immigrants for farming while speaking at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut.

And it's the most Democrat thing any 2025 Democrat could say.

That is one stupidest POS's ever to walk the halls of Congress. And that is saying something.

My parents picked cotton. School would be out for 2 weeks (or more) after the first frost in Central Texas so the kids could pick cotton. My mom talked about how sore her fingers would get because the burs would poke so much.

I bet she cusses out her staff just like SJL.

By saying the US needs immigrants for farming, Jasmine Crockett is implying they are only good for cheap labor. She is insulting immigrants and Americans farmers. This is the modern Democrat party. If Democrats keep spewing delusional nonsense, they will lose more seats in the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms.

Why do ignorant black peoplein power always to to think they were the only poor family living in poverty. Let's not get silly, I am not saying black were NOT A MAJORITY working the fields and were poor……but we know what Ms. Crockett means by "We….".

My mom was white and from southern Tennessee and was very poor. Dad was a share cropper. They never owned a house. The houses that they lived had no running water, no electricity and only wood burning stove. There were 12 brothers/sisters and they a worked the farm/fieds. Mom said she picked cotton just like all of the other poor black or white families.

She is such an embarrassment for Texas.

I knew it was all BS when she said she was having to "Go around the country to educate people ....."

She couldn't educate a tree stump.

She first should learn to speak decent English.

Jasmine Crocket = Vanilla Spice.

I was 9 or 10 yo the last year we farmed cotton. Ours was a small farm and we did just about all the weed control and harvesting by hand. Before we got big enough to pull a full size pick-sack, Mama would sew a strap onto a toe sack. Made lots of miles up and down those rows of cotton or corn or soybeans or whatever we were growing. I distinctly remember my first semester at Aggieland thinking I'd rather be pulling corn with my folks than sitting through some of those classes.

I used to work for A&M research at Corpus. In 1992 I had about 4000 cotton test plots that needed to be harvested by hand as they were too small for any of the machines to get through.

I got started hand harvesting with a cotton sack. After the first day I told my boss I was making good progress and would be done in about a year and a half unless I get some help.

A co-worker said he could get me a crew so they made a call.

The next day 8 Mexican grandmothers over 70 from Robstown showed up, and helped me pick cotton by hand until it was all done. They worked my candya$$ under the table. The "leader" noticed me lagging behind, and came back to show me how to do it the right way. After the lessons I was able to keep up a little better. They were out there cutting up and goofing around like little kids, having a ball. I couldn't have done it without them, for sure.

Having experienced picking cotton with those wonderful old ladies makes jasmine crockett even more despicable.

My grandfather used to run some of those crews near Petronila until the 60s.

Dude, in the common parlance of the hip hop community, "Vanilla" means "white". You just suggested that Ms. Crockett is white. You might want to rework that joke.

My dad was the oldest of five children and their mom died when he was 9 years old. He quit school and ran away from home when he was 11. This would have been in 1931. Never saw his father again, he died when my dad was fighting on Saipan.

He said his first job after he ran away was picking cotton. Most of the pickers were female and he said he told himself he was going to show these girls a thing or two about picking cotton (though he had never picked cotton before). He said every time he looked up, those little girls with hands just a-flying were further and further down the row and leaving him way behind.

I've picked more cotton than Crockett and she has spent more time at private school than me.

Which one of us is more privileged?

---

If machine harvest counts, I picked more cotton in 10 seconds than she's seen in her life.

Pickers were legal guest workers from Mexico.

My grandfather met his migrant pickers at a location on the Rio Grand at picking time.

That is right ... people came illegally to pick. Whatever it takes.

Mine and wife's family all picked.

I've told the story before, but my Aggie Band friend, classmate, and roommate was a Hispanic guy from Eagle Pass. His dad was EP Superintendent of schools at the time. The first time I met him, told me that he had been to my hometown (Hale Center) many times.

The dad was a school teacher at the time (1960s) In the summer EP would lease their school buses to drive Braceros (legal guest workers) up to the Panhandle/South Plains. These workers would hoe weeds in the summer, and pick cotton in the fall.

Funny that our dads may have met when we were still in grade school.

Of course she thinks that only black people picked cotton.

Many of my relatives picked cotton when they came to the US in the late 1800s and they were white. People back then did whatever was necessary to survive.

---

LOL at the 1800s. My white grandmother picked cotton. You want to ask her about it? I can give you her phone number.

---

My Dad picked cotton. I'll ask him the last time he did so when I talk to him next. Then I'll ask him if he knows who Jasmine Crockett is and enjoy the rant that will follow.

That marxists is talking out her a..!

Nah man. That ain't it. It's human nature. On a message board like this, when you're convinced you've got the ammunition, you unload it with both barrels blazing. But when you're confronted with a question you can't answer, you slink off into the ether.

A "national divorce" might sound good at a pep rally, and I'm sure it would get a lot of cheers and pom poms waving, but in practical terms, it's silly. There is no possible way to make it happen without destroying the greatest nation on earth. It would make us susceptible to the real life version of Red Dawn, and everybody with at least 60 IQ points knows it. It's hallucinatory.

But hey, I'm open to the argument. Make it.

Start another thread. This is about Jasmine Crockett's idiocy.

I got in on the tail end of having to hand-pick entire cotton fields, which was very common in our area until around the mid-60's. I was fairly young and really not all that useful, but I well remember those hot August days and always looking up and trying to see if the end of the row was getting any closer. My grandparents finally bought a John Deere Model 22 mechanical harvester, but old habits die hard and we still "picked ends" because the fields and turn-rows originally laid out for horses and mules weren't changed and the large mechanical pickers couldn't turn around without usually trampling down the first few feet of every row. I didn't graduate from picking cotton until the start of my freshman year in high school when I started a part-time job in town.

I still have some of the old cotton sacks, including one of the kid-size sacks my grandmother sewed for my brothers and I when we first started going out to the fields with our grandparents.

It was, until Logos threw out his desperate plea for a "national divorce". Then the topic was opened up to a different discussion. Well, "discussion" is a bit of a stretch since as soon as I asked for an explanation everybody clammed up like I was asking for Epsteins's flight manifests.

Folks just decided to not feed the trolls. Simple.

One of my best friend's dad is a cotton farmer. When we were kids he would pay us to go through the fields and look for clumps to put in bags. Was it a lot? Not really. But we had to work for money and that was the lesson.

I guess I've been the field more than anyone in that church.

IIRC, the proper food-related insult for "fake black" is "Oreo".

Crockett think she ML-Bae.
