And all because The Evil Hag got beat by The Perpetual Bad Hair Day. Sheesh!
I suppose if Bolsheviki Bernie wins next time Kalifornia would clamor to rejoin the Union.
Whoa! New thought. Without Kalifornia, I doubt Bernie would have any hope of winning at all. Yeah, don't go away mad, Kalifornia! Just go away! Buh-bye! Buh-bye!
In the article (sorry for the yucky ads), CalExit (whose obviously coo-coo founder has emigrated to Russia)~harrumph!~KalExit spokesman Marcus Ruiz Evans (psst, he's still here) said, speaking of Bad Hair, "So what kind of people elect a man like that? The answer: not Kalifornians."
Yep, supporters of the so obviously corrupt Evil Hag~even after Bernie got weaseled out of the Jackass Party contest.
Evans believes Kalifornia "as the 5th largest economy in the world, will be just fine on its own."

Yep, lunatics running the asylum has always worked out.
Me dino believes the krazies of Kalifornia will all sink like a stone without the Big One shaking it down.
Plenty of looters and moochers will be taking care of that.

    This is just sooooo delicious. I can just imagine those, ahem, pansies (insert a different p-word) being willing to actually fight - and die, hahahah, for what they believe is right! (I don't think dying is funny, by the way, but all the snowflakes in CA would for sure melt right away if they were expected to actually DO SOMETHING dangerous to secede.)

    The Federal Constitution comes first, so I am sure the US would institute martial law. Which leads to the question: what about soldiers in active military duty whose home state is CA?

    And then, just for a moment pretend they were able to win this battle and leave the Federal fold. WHO would wipe their butts?

    Too bad the San Andreas fault hasn't done its thing, finally.

    Actually, most Active Military members vote Republican - not Democrat. It was one of the reasons during Obama's re-election campaign he tried to get overseas votes delayed and then thrown out. He was blocked in these efforts by Republicans and the Courts.

    But with regards to secession, no exit terms were mentioned either. If one is going to assert that the States have the power to secede because of a contractual arrangement with the rest of the States, one must also recognize that there are simply no rules or agreement in place for how to navigate that process. Last time it led to civil war.

    I would suggest soon after they decide. However, if you look at the current "wall" problems, it would be years before it got built.

    Hmmmm.....Since much of California's infrastructure was funded by the US Government, would it be possible to make them pay it back it when they take it with them as they leave? Do they realize how much actual support they receive from the rest of the USA? If they become a new country, can we establish tariffs for all goods going into and out of their country?

    I'm just curious.

    This has actually been going on for a while in various forms, I think the state government really wants the ability to print it's own money.

    Jerry Brown runs around the globe negotiating his own trade and climate deals. Single Payer was working it's way through until they hit the $400 billion cost estimate for the first year. Their expansion of Medicaid to 14 million people that don't pay a penny for it, it seems, is quite expensive.

    We also have the State of Jefferson, much better organized, also working to get on the next ballot - that would split the state with the dividing line just north of Sacramento (and I think I would be in that count - I'm in Placer County, not sure where the boundary is).

    The new state, Jefferson, would be very pro-gun, pro-liberty, and pro-patriots. For an idea, California is only 1% veteran, but almost 9% here in Placer. Definitely re-open elk hunting too ;)

    I thought the Jeffersonians had zero chance, but if Calexit gets more popular, this would easily pass.

    Puerto Rico is the first step to getting to Cuba, Right now I believe that California is a net positive in tax revenue to the federal government....but if they Secede, many corporations will flee them as has happened with Puerto Rico as the government craziness escalated. Then they got to the Venezuela stage...then Cuba.

    When the people in Kalifornia realize that they would need to work out their own currency, negotiate trade agreements with the Unites States government, they'll realize what a hair-brained idea it really is. The first trade agreement will, out of necessity, be negotiated with the state of Nevada. After all, they can't expect water from Lake Mead to be diverted into a foreign country without a trade agreement, can they?

    On another note, we should let them go but only if they take New York and Illinois with them. That way they can all fail together.

    No, we would still have Texas. I am retired military and it seemed as if about every 4th or 5th person I met was from Texas.

    The thing is, if they leave, we better close the border to Kali as there will be a mass exodus as soon as they run out of money to support the looters and moochers. Besides that, the crime rate in Kali has gone up due to the ridiculous Prop 47, so we don't want all these criminals preying on the good folks in Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. Kalifornicators already ruined Colorado and we don't want the rest of the country to go that way.

    Actually, I think you're right. You can bet those petition signers are serious. Me dino is having a lot of fun with the "what if," though.

    I recall Ayn Rand speaking through John Galt that the only business the federal government has is protecting us from enemies on the outside and crooks on the inside.
    But no-oh! We had to Endowment For The Arts, Planned Parenthood, food stamps, climate change funding, welfare and countless etcs provide us and our children with this reap what you unnecessary gargantuan load of BS~

    South Carolina tried that and we ended up with the war of northern aggression. Lets hope California has more luck...they will end up like Puerto Rico though!

    I have no respect for any pols in DC regardless of party. State pols haven't impressed me much with their understanding of the constitution, free markets, or individual liberty. Lots of slogans. Not much fight.

    "It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
    - Samuel Adams

    Now I'm thinking of 20 trillion reasons that has become the invasive glue that binds We The People to enslave us altogether.
    The Big Brother elites of both parties can't afford uppity states who want even a partial independence of any kind.
    Resistance is futile against the Borg. Total control is required. Or else.
    You think there's too many RINOs now? Just watch honorable GOP statesmen turn into craven chicken RINOs when push becomes shove.

    Bet at that point Pelosi would cease to call a swarm of young border crossers "an opportunity."
