Good. Put it towards the wall and add a plaque that says “this portion of the wall paid for by the State of California”.

A lawsuit will open up CA, and a number of its pols, to discovery.

I hope Newsome is dumb enough to do it.

He should simply direct the Department of Justice to assist those suing the state and federal government for loss of life due to protection given to these Criminal Invaders. Usually the deep pockets of the federal government are used to go after good people. This time use it to go after the treacherous government officials of the sanctuary cities

To pay for all the nuisance lawsuits the St. of CA has filed against his administration.

Maybe if CA had been a little nicer, Trump may have been a little more willing to make changes to the federal grant to allow CA to keep the money.

Idiots!

The Feds probably do have legal standing to modify the grant and decide not to release any further funds. CA has modified their contract for construction.

“to help protect the great state of California””

Why?

I would use the billion to place charges along the fault line. Maybe we can break California off from the rest of the country and enjoy the sight of it drifting off into the Pacific Ocean.

If you rip up the steel rails wordlessly laid so far, you could set them vertically at the border.

I believe it is a real thing, but I think it was created by a local resident there, not an official city agency.

Rush Limbaugh talked about it on his show, and here on his web site.

A Google search for "san francisco poop map" shows that the map is mentioned in many other places too, including this article in Fortune, which is about the official San Francisco "Poop Patrol", set up to clean massive amounts of human feces off their sidewalks, but the article also discusses the poop map.

SUCK IT! Komiefornia!

You cabal of worthless commie bastards may all go rot in Hell!

It’s unfortunate that Trump cannot unilaterally revoke their statehood too. Komiefornians are incorrigible scum.
