They can pay us back the taxes we’ve pissed about for nearly 200 years.
Hey California maroons, good luck with having to set up and manage your own military, treasury, National Security Agency, terrorist-fighting organization, etc.
We will have a great time laughing and pointing!!
On a related topic, California should be divided (not north south but east west.
Separate the coastal cities with the eastern side. Sacramento reflects the population in the big cities and all but ignores the wishes of those on the interior.
Bye bye.
Freepers appear to be more emotionally invested in this idiotic notion than the lefties.
Ain’t gonna happen
We need to build the wall a bit longer.
Adios! (Spanish the official language?)
Well, first they have to pay up their $2.4T portion of the national debt.
Can’t leave until you pay your tab.
Next, the water rights contracts will be cancelled.
Adjacent states will be delighted to reclaim the water CA has been taking for terraforming deserts.
(Oh, CA farms will dry up? Better get busy building giant desalination plants and nuclear reactors to power them; pity there’s no money after paying off that debt bill.)
Then there’s tariffs. Anything made in CA will have a 10-30% price hike when sold to the now-foreign primary trading partner. That won’t go well.
Of course, the dominant CA government is socialist, so their solution will be to redistribute wealth. Ask Venezuela how that went recently.
Liberals are much, much easier to herd than Conservatives.
This is great news. Then we can deport all these kook californian nut job out of Texas
Do they think they get to keep all the Air Force bases, Marine Corps, Navy and Army bases?
Not only do they lose those, they would then have to invest in their own defense. They can't even afford their own government now.
How bout a return of the federal tax dollars they received in the past. As I recall, secession was tried once before. They best have a standing army if they don’t return the federal dollars.
Build a wall!!!
Let the State of Jefferson separate first.
My dad (who wears his State of Jefferson sweatshirt often) would LOVE it!
Allow me to apologize for our “less enlightened” Freepers.
Another very long wall for Trump to build.
Don’t forget your share of the $20 Trillion Debt
With the right ad campaign, support from media and entertainers, I could see the CA electorate voting yes for this. Hell they voted in mass for ammo background checks.
Good luck with that “secession” thing. Several of us tried
it in the 1800’s. Dead bodies (both Union & Rebel) lay
strewn all across the South. LINCOLN did WHATEVER IT TOOK
to keep our cotton-picking tax money in the union.
“Slavery” was on the way OUT anyway with the new inventions
that were in the offing. CALIFORNIA can go for my part in
it; but don’t try it while Emperor Obama is in power.
Sorry to disappoint my fellow FReepers, but it ain’t gonna happen.
As you alluded to in your comment, California is too dependent upon Federal funds. There is no way on God’s green earth it can sustain itself and all of the illegal aliens and welfare types without the billions upon billions of federal dollars pumped into its coffers.
Just a bunch of butthurt liberals throwing a tantrum. They will get tired of it soon enough and then go back to worshipping mother etc, illegal aliens, climate change or some other assinine cause.
