Thanks for all the articles 6ly410 but this has to be the funniest article I’ve read all day. 
Picture this if you will, a region that can’t agree on a nomination for president, a region that says the Federal Supreme Court is illegal, can’t agree with the GOI on anything but wants their military to work together with the government’s military. 
I’m thinking these people are getting ready to start their own comedy show….lol
