California secession organizers say they've opened an embassy -- in Moscow

California gained an embassy in Russia last weekend, at least in the eyes of those who have promised to seek a statewide vote on secession, nicknamed "Calexit," in 2018.

Louis Marinelli, a San Diego resident who is the leader of the group promoting an effort to turn the state into an independent country , organized the Moscow event that was publicized on social media.

"We want to start laying the groundwork for a dialogue about an independent California joining the United Nations now," he said in an email Monday.

I believe the time is ripe to begin talking to the far left about restoring States Rights as envisioned by the Founders of the Constitution. Ending the tyranny of D.C. over the daily lives of Americans.

thing is, if we keep ticking them off they will feel they have nothing to lose. The whole point of federalism is that the feds should leave the states alone as much as possible. But in this case, they want illegals and H1B’s

We’d have a civil war. That is not exactly what we need right now.

It doesn’t make sense and it would be strange if Californians really wanted to be part of some russian plot but they almost pulled this off in Scotland

Yes, it would be civil war, and it makes perfect sense given the current conditions in our country. The Marxists have been doing their long march through our institutions in order to conquer this country without a shot being fired. They all but have California locked. I think nowhere in the country is the divide more obvious between the Americans and the anti-Americans, and, unfortunately, the anti-Americans have the advantage, mostly due to massive illegals and their (supposedly) citizen children. There is no point in mourning our situation. It will come whether we choose it or not, unless we choose to surrender. The Left will not stop.

If I may quote Shakespeare:

So foul a sky clears not without a storm.

Yes. STFU California.

Send the national guard or army in if it comes to that and throw out by force all illegals, kill anyone firing on them or even throwing rocks for that matter and declare martial law.

My home, NYC, is pathetically, outrageously blue and even they’re not talking such nonsense.

It gives the Hollywood celebritards a place to go to enjoy their favorite brand of Marxism. Please leave, please go to Russia, or go to your caribbean paradise - Cuba.

It doesn’t make any sense...it will hurt the entire country. And oh, they just banned all these rifles...takes care of the civil war

The Russians already have a military base in California.

Damn, you beat me to it!

Maybe if the keep busy trying to reorganize their own back yard they will be too busy to cause more problems elsewhere.

[Read Write Repeat]

A better solution would be all the shared bodies of water with Nevada goes to Nevada.

California would cease this BS in a nanosecond.

[MoochPooch]

I can’t imagine any of those people running a country.

[ScottinVA]

As these people continue to fantasize about the idea of California “independence,” completely ignoring the fact Mexico has first dibs on the post-USA future for that state.

Mexico didn’t spend the last century populating California with its own for nothing. They have a stake in the matter, and will act on it.

[grania]

I'm fine with them seceding

Hillary's popular vote "victory" is because of a handful of counties in CA. How about if just those counties could secede? We can dream, can't we? <^..^>

[ari-freedom]

It’s not rational but we aren’t dealing with rational people here

[Spktyr]

I wouldn’t mind if the ‘State Of Jefferson’ counties plus maybe part of Orange County stayed, but the rest have to go.

[Spktyr]

Don’t you want to watch the liberals’ faces in their ‘new nation’ (from a safe distance) as they slowly realize what they’ve *really* done by seceding? And what their new status in the nation of Mexico will be?

[a fool in paradise]

They didn’t have one established already dating back to to the Cold War???

[a fool in paradise]

Stalinists lie. Always

[okie01]

I wouldn’t mind if the ‘State Of Jefferson’ counties plus maybe part of Orange County stayed, but the rest have to go.

Would you entertain letting Fresno County, along with FreeRepublic and Jim Rob stay with us?

[ari-freedom]

The left has control over the entire state. It would have to be all or nothing...and they wouldn’t let Jefferson break out once they seceded
