The comments I've seen from Trumpists and right-wingers on the prospect of CA secession mostly seem to be along the lines of "Don't let the door hitcha where the good Lord splitcha", a sentiment which strikes me as monumentally retarded. If CA secedes, its independence will certainly be a sham, and the absolute best case scenario is that it will become a province, de facto or otherwise, of Mexico, rather than of Russia or China. To forestall such an unmitigated disaster, here's what I propose: pursuant to 8 USC § 1324, the President should direct his AG to seek indictments against every CA official who is in violation thereof, followed by vigorous prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. This will likely lead to insurrection within the state, which should be ruthlessly suppressed - better a few thousand lives now than a few million later. Thoughts? BTW, while the idea of unilateral secession being constitutional is nonsense, it's also off topic here, and all attempts to steer the discussion along such lines will be reported.
I like Dennis Miller's idea: [video=youtube;hCnxnD129bI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCnxnD129bI[/video] Hahahaha! Maxico!
Yes, adios!!! California will be fine. Calif. is the 6th largest economy in the world. California is already a country in its own right. Add Oregon and Washington and we are a mighty nation with all the resources we need. We are True Blue Americans. Sign the petition!!! We are better off without red States than with them. Take back liberty. http://www.yescalifornia.org/
LMAO.........you keep parroting that but half of California (the ag side) will tell you to jump into the Pacific during the next earthquake or mudslide. Sure, you'll get all of the illegals and porn stars but much of the wealth is generated in agriculture. When the tech companies flee the coup you'll be left with 150 million dollar mansions being auctioned on the courthouse steps for 150 grand.
I'm not one to welcome Calexit. If it happened, it would effectively be the beginning of the end of the United States. Also I'm not much worried about it either. If the proposal moves along far enough to make it to a referendum, someone is going to run the numbers and realize it's not affordable. However...if they still want to make a go of it, could they take Puerto Rico with them?
I do not believe it will happen. So far, liberals have proven quite impotent when it comes to all things political.
Unlikely. Who could afford it? Of course I guess we'll get to see if you can print an unlimited number of Cal-dollars and see how that works.
California has a large economy because of hollywierd and to a much lesser extent the northern wine country and Silicon valley The state does not have all the resources it needs or even close. They do not even have enough water for their people, Separating would drive out silicon valley and cut cal. off from the resources it needs and reduce it to a third world level similar to Somalia but go right ahead.
The people who think California should secede are also the people, in which California has struck a nerve, who don't have guts to stand up to Trump, which California does. Why are states like Texas and Florida sitting by like weaklings, while California is coming in charging like a pit bull?
OP, makes sense. But Trump is too soft and kind hearted to do much with CA. If we didn't have such a puss in DC, maybe CA could be saved. All Trump does is to talk. First thing Trump needs to do is to enact a law to make it a 10 year federal offence and $25,000 fine for harboring, aiding and abetting illegal aliens. Now, Trump is kinda stuck. If he lets CA loose, then the news is 'Trump gives CA away.' If he sends in the national guard to reclaim it and throw the illegal aliens out, the news calls him a Hitler. Obama had it a lot easier. All Obama had to do was to force-feed the US on a steady diet of the glories of homosexuality and try to convince America that a man with a penis be allowed into a woman's bathroom. This way Obama could keep the US occupied with the homosexual agenda and pretend he didn't know anything about the fascist dem's plan to export illegals nationwide. All the while the fascist dems were using CA as the back door to let illegals in to repopulate America...just to get their vote. Gov. Brown believes CA is the model for America. The plan was that when Hil got in she could take down all borders, confiscate the guns and the fascist dems takeover would be complete. Sadly for the dems, Trump put the kibosh on it. Now the fascist dems seem to be taking Trump for a punk and are setting up sanctuary cities faster than fat girls eating pizza at a slumber party. Well, here is my proposal if Trump wants to salvage CA... Have ICE get a patriot militia organized and give it some training. Send it into CA with broad bounty hunter authority. Have ICE set up a number of satellite stations to process the illegals as the militia brings them in. If some eggs get broken in the cleanup, that is just too (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) bad. If you built a life here and are illegal then kiss it goodbye. After they work on CA, the militia fans out across the USA, state by state. But they can't leave CA unsecured when done, the CA traitors have to be removed from office or they will just let the illegals back in. Other option...write CA off, it is already Mexico's for all practical purposes...Trump needs to build the wall around CA not Mexico. Russia or China wont be allowed to take it over. Just as Cuba was not allowed to have Russian missiles. If CA keeps threating America after it has seceded with this (*)(*)(*)(*), we go in and ...Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius. We will defend America to the death and to the destruction of the entire world if necessary.
When your states governor comes out, saying he wants to strip federal funding o Sanctuary Cities, when he is showing he doesn't know the benefit of Sanctuary Cities, in regards to making them legal and reinventing the US immigration and naturalization process, it shows your governor was hit pretty hard on the head when he was little. Yeah, Texans might want to take a peek at that.
I am with Ace of Spades in his blog. Don't hate them, we just need to divorce. Their values and ours are so different and so irreconcilable as to not be bridged. We just need to extend the border wall to the north to wall them off so the Venezuela type disaster they will experience (socialism is never sustainable and certainly their desire to import huge numbers of poor, uneducated foreigners who impact their welfare programs will help with the demise). See if that "sixth largest economy" built largely on 1s and 0s and entertainment that restrains development of natural resources, in favor of "green energy", dislikes traditional manufacturing operations in favor of "clean" industries and that starves the farm industry of water to save minnows is really sustainable. I am also desirous of seeing what happens as they widely welcome refugees from the Middle East in great numbers as they want the rest of us to do and see how they will react to the kinds of things like are happening in France with no-go neighborhoods, Germany with public rapes of women, and Sweden where whole communities have a form of Sharia law imposed. I can't wait to see how that experiment turns out. We need real world labs for far left prescriptions as long as they can be isolated so their collapse will not hurt the rest of us. I am willing to get started. Go, in the name of God, go. The inevitable exit of actual Americans will be sustained to normal America can be allowed up to a date certain, say a year after Calexit is final. Thereafter, refugees from California will not be allowed to come into the normal America as they will be considered to be escaping from a disaster they decided to create.
Why is it that when folks become economic refuges from the socialist hell holes in Cent and South America, liberals are willing to call them asylum seekers because of the brutality of those nations, and yet, the continue to support the same said hell holes and offer them up as "examples" of the shining socialist way?
Because Trump is what Florida, Texas, and normal America want. Here in Texas (except for Austin) we are cheering and deliriously happy with the progress Trump is making. Our state government refused to take unvetted Middle Eastern refugees, but Obama forced them on us. Happily, Trump is going to stop making us import and resettle potential terrorists. He is also sending General Kelly down here to help us build the wall and the infrastructure we need to stop the invasion of illegal aliens who have been so detrimental to our communities and citizens. Thank God for Trump. I wake up every day and can't wait to see what we are winning on today.
Wow, either you just put your incessant hate for California on display, or you got too carried away with Trump's agenda. Making federal offenses, and slapping huge ass fines isn't going to do anything, when its painfully clear you don't understand, or wish to acknowledge, the benefit Sanctuary Cities can harbor. Additionally, it seems you rather kill the messenger going up against the antagonist, the messenger being California, and the antagonist being Trump. It also seems that Alex Jones has gotten to you, thinking Democrats are fascists and Hillary was going to confiscate your guns, come on dude. Grow some balls here, Hillary was never going to confiscate your precious guns you keep cocked, and sleep with at night. She simply had common sense solutions to implement on guns. California isn't the state that needs to change, if any states need to change, its deep red states like Louisiana and Tennessee and Kentucky that need to change. California is the role model for the 49 other states to follow. Don't like that? Feel free to run off to the arctic.
Define, "normal America." The fringe that hang out at the gun ranges, and wanderlust in the good ol' Reagan days? Instead of wasting energy on the wall, we should be working on simplifying and reinventing the US naturalization and immigration processes, so there won't be an incentive for illegal aliens to come to America. And have Sanctuary Cities play a role in that simplification, and make them legal at the same time. I'm certainly glad I don't live in Texas, I wouldn't want a embarrassing governor like Abbott. Make sure to kick his ass out. He's proved he hit his head pretty hard as a child.
Poor lefties did not get their way so they want to take their toys and go home....hahaha! Let's see how long they can survive without federal money....
