Come to think of it, a lot super-libs will move to CA if it secedes.

Even more winning!

I can’t to hear about their defense budget plan.

I’m totally opposed to Calexit: a wall that length is impractical, UNLESS we make California pay for it.

Nonetheless, should this succeed, I surely hope that President Trump requires extreme vetting for immigration into the U.S.

I would hope that criminal history, employment history, education, net worth, and amount of capital to be transferred into the U.S. would all be evaluated.

Yup. Jefferson would be readmitted and the US would be 50 again. And the Americans in SoCal will want to join Jefferson as it goes.

It looks like we’re going to need a bigger wall.

Longer too.

Mexico will go broke.









OK, that's lunch!

We’ve handled this before:
Kill them, free their Mexicans, and take everybody’s stuff.

That is how West Virginia became a state.

I am all good with this. Let’s encourage all their right wingers to come East, push all of our loonies West, then invade two years later and shove them into the Ocean.

Music to our ears. Mexico can have Follywood and all the cheesy TV production in LA.
By the way, the border tax sounds good to us. We would pay an extra quarter for an avocado and other imports from Mexico as our contribution to building the big, beautiful Trump wall on our southern border. Texas is sick of spending billions on Mexico’s dependents.

I was just out there (San Fran, San Diego). Downtown SF is a hellhole. I knew CA had a homeless problem but the scale of it in SF is staggering. Seeing people “shooting up” on the streets without hesitation, no fear of being “caught”. Many of them are absolutely bat-sh*t crazy, walking around shouting with a crazed look. I’ve never seen such a sad place, they should be embarrassed. Welcome to the liberal utopia.

I don’t want anything to hold this up, they get everything. Heck what is an AF base but a couple of runways and a golf course.

And, let me see California would be responsible for social security, healthcare, welfare, education to their citizens. There would be a 20% tariff on goods, and California would have pay all their public employees, etc.

In addition, they would lose all the national security that is provided by the US Government.

And, how many people would leave that state if they didn’t have all the goodies provided by the US Government?

And, the reason for this is, Trump got elected? They would be the next Venezuela. Maybe Mexico will anex them and they all would live in a 3rd world country.

I keep hearing about so many out there wanting to exit, but they never clarify if they want to exit from the U.S. or California.
Is the press combining the two figures?

California only has one party now, Republicans in this state have NO voice anymore.
As with any political system without a check or balance graft & corruption are what’s expected.
Used to be so nice...

They can't leave.

#1. 40% of the whole country's welfare is in California. Without federal dollars, what happens to all that free stuff for mostly lazy people or people who don't belong here?

#2. Massive 280 billion in unfunded pension debt. They promised the world to state government workers in exchange for hundreds of millions of slush fund donations being returned to the Democrat party.

#3. They've already almost closed down themselves with over regulation with businesses.

#4. They have too much trash, homeless or illegals everywhere. Who really comes to California for vacations anymore like they do Hawaii? Granted it is not Chicago, but it isn't good anymore either.

I don't know what the big draw is now to those who haven't already been here for decades with stuff already bought.
New people go, or stay away.

They are also pot smoking and vaping themselves into oblivion. Idiots more than regular people, at least in the city areas.

Do you really think President Trump is going to invade CA? LOL! He’d probably engineer the whole deal. Win-win.

"By my math 242 electoral votes would be needed for the win."

Trump had that by 10pm. Those MF at MSM - AP *cough cough assholes* - delayed the PA call until 2:30am. Best long night of my life!

The Reconquista ("reconquest") is a term that is used (not exclusively) to describe the vision by different individuals, groups, and/or nations that the U.S. Southwest should be politically or culturally reconquered by Hispanics, on the basis that those territories had pertained to Mexico before the Texas annexation (1845) and the Mexican Cession (1848), as a consequence of the Mexican American War, for distinct purposes.

Read more at Wikipedia

This is the true political war that is being fought in California and to a lesser degree in other southwest States. They don't care to become U.S. citizens, they wave the flag of Mexico, maintain their citizenship there and have the agenda of annexing parts of the U.S. for Mexico.

It is truly an invation in slow motion.

Just need to split off San Francisco and Los Angeles into separate countries.
Then CA would be fine.
