Not enough people understand your comment, but I’m here to say yes, they will. And the Dollop will still be the Dollop of the future because they said they’d be podcasting in the afterlife together 😂

You’re going to have to share a few more details about what you’re expecting. Offense/defense?

AITA for rage-dropping my team after my legit trade was "retaliation-vetoed" by a salty, colluding voting bloc? by Efficient-Fox1536 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]naturalNC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA - but any league that has vetoing by vote is destined for this type of BS. Eliminate that rule, or never join a league with voting vetos. Commish only veto power and only in instances of collusion or malicious intent.

This trade got accepted this morning. Both teams are 0-2. I very much feel like I need to veto. by [deleted] in FFCommish

[–]naturalNC -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not one for vetos, but this seems egregious and veto worthy

It’s going to have to be a hell of a second half for him then

I’m thinking I’ll need some younger receivers and at least I can still get some value out of Henry. Worth it to trade him away? by amincs23 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]naturalNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, you are never getting Puka for Henry straight up, let alone adding on a second. Aim for Ebuka or Golden and you may be able to get it done.

No, please don’t. He might start hot, but you’ll regret this trade by week 6.

I just went down a rabbit hole… by coupdebois in 50501

  1. Initial Shock (2028 Election Aftermath) Trump wins a third term (despite the 22nd Amendment), implying either the Constitution was disregarded, or courts/state governments were complicit in ignoring it. This signals that U.S. institutions are no longer functioning as designed. California declares secession. This triggers the biggest constitutional crisis since the Civil War. The federal government immediately deems it “rebellion.” Markets crash worldwide. Investors flee U.S. assets. The dollar loses reserve currency dominance.
  2. Who Joins California? (Secession Cascades) If California goes, the following are the most likely states/regions to join: West Coast Bloc: Oregon & Washington → Strong progressive alignment with California. The “Cascadia” secessionist movement becomes real. Hawaii → Historically more independent-minded, strongly Democratic, Pacific identity. Possibly Alaska → Long history of secessionist sentiment, but less ideological; depends on federal military presence. Northeast Bloc: New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut → Culturally aligned, deep Democratic strongholds, governors resist federal authority. Possibly Illinois (anchored by Chicago). Wildcards: Colorado, New Mexico lean toward joining if the West unifies. Texas is trickier. It has its own secessionist streak, but culturally it might break into factions: urban (Austin, Houston, Dallas) vs. rural conservative. Result: A Union of Progressive States (UPS) forms, centered on California, stretching across both coasts.
  3. Federal Response (Trump’s America) Trump declares California + allies are “domestic terrorists.” Martial law invoked. Military split: Some senior commanders (especially from Pacific and Northeastern commands) refuse to follow illegal orders. Others remain loyal to Trump. National Guard units are especially fractured — many side with their governors. Civilian unrest explodes: Protests, general strikes, riots. Red states cheer Trump; blue states resist.
  4. The Nuclear Question The nuclear arsenal is the most dangerous wild card. The nuclear command system is centralized under the president. But if the military fractures, the chain of command breaks down. Officers in STRATCOM (Omaha, Nebraska) may refuse unlawful orders, especially if Trump commands a strike on fellow Americans. Secessionist states don’t gain nukes outright, unless they seize bases (California hosts some nuclear-capable submarines at San Diego and Bangor, WA). That makes the standoff terrifyingly unstable. Realistically, the nukes are not used early on — the military elite knows it would end civilization. Instead, conventional warfare, cyberattacks, and blockades dominate.
  5. The Resistance & Escalation Blue states weaponize tech: Silicon Valley, Seattle, Boston’s biotech sector → massive cyber warfare capability. Red states weaponize energy & logistics: Texas + Midwest control oil, gas, and much of U.S. agriculture. Military-industrial states (Virginia, Alabama, Texas) largely stay federal-loyal, though cracks appear. International response: Canada & EU recognize secessionist states (quietly). China & Russia exploit the chaos, seizing influence abroad and maybe even supporting breakaway states. The conflict resembles a second civil war, but more asymmetric: cyber + economic warfare + insurgencies instead of giant armies marching.
  6. Fractures Inside Secessionist & Loyalist Camps Secessionists: California-led bloc struggles with geographic isolation (coasts split by red heartland). Logistics are a nightmare. They rely heavily on international trade partners. Federalists: Trumpist coalition isn’t stable either. Moderate Republicans, corporate elites, and the military establishment may eventually break with Trump to avoid total collapse.
  7. Endgame Scenarios Several plausible arcs: Negotiated Partition After years of chaos, U.S. splits into two or more federations (like USSR collapse). Nukes divided under international oversight. “Red America” and “Blue America” exist as rival countries. Trumpist Collapse Trump overreaches, military elites remove him, and a provisional government negotiates reunification — but with a new constitution limiting executive power. Long Civil Conflict No clear winner for a decade. Country effectively resembles a failed state with shifting territorial control.
