Your tax can only consist of ONE stud, we abolish the God-Emperor title cause the Bronze Age has been over for like 2500 years, we build a Ranbow House, and your bring every member of the resistance a shrubbery…

Mr. Spike... Mr. Spike... Lonely Ranger from The Real Househusbands of Texas. Will you ban glitter and nukes from the new Texan Republic? Will studs be allowed to choose whether they want to be taxed or not? The public and the studs expect your answers.

As a stud tax, I'll take 20% of the studs you received in one year. The tax will be collected once a year on the first Monday of April.

we abolish the God-Emperor title

The title remains, but the God-Emperor will relinquish some of his authority over domestic affairs to the Imperial Legislature.

Ranbow House

We build an Imperial Rainbow Palace that is open to tours for the public (minus the private quarters of the Imperial Family).

A botanical garden will be built to honor both pro-Imperial and resistance fighters.

Stop trying to derail the negotiations! There will not be a republic!

Nukes are vital to defend Texas from foreign threats! They are not up for negotiation!

Glitter nukes are a wonderful tradition worldwide, and are a gift to humanity.  Studs are free to choose studhood or not.

I do like these ideas though

and I won't be the only choice on the ballot for the 2026 Election for God-Emperor.

What a 2026 Ballot might look like:

God-Emperor of Texas

• Drew Espinosa
• Lee Espinosa
• Randall Espinosa
• Rosa Espinosa

A 15% stud tax and you can vote against me in 2026.

Reminds me of the time a certain dictator "stepped down as prime Minister"...

[Drew Espinosa]

To sweeten the deal, @spike382 I'll also give you a muffin that my mother just made.

You drive a hard bargain with that muffin, but weighing that against your previous two statements my answer must be:

Vive la résistance!!!

I guess I should introduce the other candidates...

Lee: my 4 year old nephew. He says he doesn't like chocolate, but eats it all the time.

Randall: my 16 year old nephew. I almost struck him from the ballot because he has some pretty radical views (like he thinks the Empire needs to be "democratized"!  ) But, he still is my nephew, and I trust the people of Texas not to buy into his nonsense.

Rosa: my 9 year old niece. She is quite the princess, and if elected would be the first God-Empress of Texas, so that'd be neat, right @clochette?  

 

*FYI: It should be obvious, but these aren't their real names.

I've just had the weirdest conversation with my brother

I told him I was adding another "ear hole" to my Christmas wishes list. The conversation went like that:

Him: but you already have 2 holes

Me: but I want a new hole above the one I already have

Him: ah so two on each earlobes 

Me: yes! That's the word! Earlobes:

All right, how about this: I'll abolish the stud tax, but you will give me two of your most handsome studs each year as gifts - one for my birthday and the other for Christmas.

The title of God-Emperor is no longer up for negotiation.

A woman almost made it to President of France. The fact she's a woman does not make her a good fit.  Voting for a woman just for her gender is sexist and stupid IMO  

So sorry princess but you won't be the next ruler of Texas

They tried that once, it didn't last. I think they should opt for a Commonwealth.

So any one of them would be a huge step up in maturity.
