When you’re coming close to indictment, you best run for President to get that immunity thing going.

He’s as faithful to the US as he was to his first two wives.

I read it. Dangerous ground, but it is also Yahoo, so I give it zero weight unless something more reputable steps up to give this weight. Literally, the National Inquirer would work.

The idiot governor is really not wrong in declaring California a Nation State.

From wiki.....

A nation state is a state in which a great majority shares the same culture and is conscious of it. The nation state is an ideal in which cultural boundaries match up with political ones.[1] According to one definition, “a nation state is a sovereign state of which most of its subjects are united also by factors which defined a nation such as language or common descent.”[2] It is a more precise concept than “country”, since a country does not need to have a predominant ethnic group.

A nation, in the sense of a common ethnicity, may include a diaspora or refugees who live outside the nation-state; some nations of this sense do not have a state where that ethnicity predominates. In a more general sense, a nation-state is simply a large, politically sovereign country or administrative territory. A nation-state may be contrasted with:
A multinational state, where no one ethnic group dominates (may also be considered a multicultural state depending on the degree of cultural assimilation of various groups).
A city-state which is both smaller than a “nation” in the sense of “large sovereign country” and which may or may not be dominated by all or part of a single “nation” in the sense of a common ethnicity.[3][4][5]
An empire, which is composed of many countries (possibly non-sovereign states) and nations under a single monarch or ruling state government.
A confederation, a league of sovereign states, which might or might not include nation-states.
A federated state which may or may not be a nation-state, and which is only partially self-governing within a larger federation (for example, the state boundaries of Bosnia and Herzegovina are drawn along ethnic lines, but those of the United States are not).

This article mainly discusses the more specific definition of a nation-state, as a typically sovereign country dominated by a particular ethnicity.

They’re in secession? Great. No vote for them in November and future years!

Bingo! When our local insane Californians were pushing this insanity a couple of years ago I told a few local elite dems, that they were committing suicide.

The National Democratic party and George $oreA$$ would put a hit out on any democrat, seriously pushing for a separation for California..

That would be the end of the Democratic party if California seceded.

They would never win an electoral college again with the loss of California as a state. Also,they would lose control of the house as California would most of their dem congressits and their two $inators.

That would invite two more separate states with 4 republican senators and a lot of republican house members.

Then, the new state would die without water from the north and food from the valley.

Next, I told them do the math and make our day/week/month/Decades by seceding.

Also, I would sign any petition to have California secede.

Nah, just let the coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco form their own Socialist Utopia (sort of a Chile of the North). Kick Newsome and the legislature out of Sacramento, turn the rest of what was California, including San Diego, the agricultural valleys, Yosemite, Red Woods, etc. into two new (Conservative voting) States, with two Senators. THEN seal the border. Let them stew in their own waste without giving up the truly valuable parts.

If that won't fly, there's always the Atlanta and Richmond models.

Sounds to me like the leftist states are seceding. We’ll see how that one works.

Mr. Newsom is a fraud. Mr. Newsom must think we the people are totally ignorant of the Constitution to the point he believes we’ll react in his favor when he lies about the responsibilities of the Fed vs the States in acquisition of the supplies in question.

The President has been more than generous with his, and his staff’s time, and energy on behalf of too many Blue States with half assed Blue management such as California, and New York.
