This infographic is fucking ridiculous. Here's a movie about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. LOOK the setting for the movie is pointing EXACTLY to where Scalia died. EXACTLY somewhere in the 525,000 square miles we got because the of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. For those who don't know how big that is

The treaty gave the United States the Rio Grande as a boundary for Texas, and gave the U.S. ownership of California and a large area comprising roughly half of New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado.

An EXACT match

Shorter infographic. Scalia died in Texas. Texas used to be Mexico therefore this script from 2012 about Texas and Mexico is secret code about his assasination.

The point being made was that the line identifying the disputed territory points to the location of Scalia's death. In the context of the map, it points to the region, but the line itself literally ends at the location.

and therefore..........?

A film plot that was created several years before Scalia died

The Smithsonian map was created at least 13 years ago.

Never said it was plausible, just figured I'd bring some pipedream perspective to it. "Well what if?" Isn't something that's asked enough these days.
