Cut off their water from adjacent states as well.

This would be a great start. Since California abhors non-green energy, double the price of energy that they purchase from surrounding states.

“It will be called West Wuhan province.”

I am not sure but that might have been racist.

Gavin Newsome is an imbicle! He talks like it too. He sounds like a small child with pronouncements like this. What does it actually really do? I don’t think he thought about that.

If America is divisible then California is divisible.

Ok Gavin, sounds good. Ca EV votes do not count now. Trump wins easily. The rats have NO path without those votes.

I believe one was Kimberly Guilfoyle, who’s now dating Don Jr.

Destroy all secessionists. We have critical US defense infrastructure there.

The benefits of being rid of them far outweigh the cost of rebuilding those bases elsewhere. It's not even close. It would be an American Renaissance.

If he wants California to secede then he shouldn’t have a problem with Texas doing it as well. Right gov?

Want our oil? GFY!

1. Shut off all water from the Colorado River
2. Shut off all power from the federal dams in Oregon/Washington
3. Cut off federal funds going to the choo choo train, infrastructure etc and let the ‘nation-state’ pony up the money.

That giant sucking sound you will here will be the huddled masses leaving the state to its rotation around the toilet bowl.

Wow. Without the massive electoral college block from California, the Dems in the Federal USA would be in dire straights.

So in other words, Pelosi and the rest of Cali’s elected Congresscritters are null and void?

Does he get that?

Sounds like tariff time to me. Move all fed operations from there and appoint an ambassador.

That would eliminate two rat $inators and all of their congressits.

Which would be the end of the Democratic party. California $inators, no Congressits and a massive loss of federal judges. The 5th Circus court would be dissolved and any surviving liberal judges would have zippo power in their new positions.

The dems would never win any future national election without California.

Does anyone think that Soros, the Clintoons, the Obamas and the massive donors to the dems would allow this to happen?

No.

No it is not.

And the author is OBVIOUSLY an uber-lefty.

This was not “News” it was badly and mis-informed opinion. IOW more Fake News.

Cut off their water from northern California as well.

Exactly correct. Most people assume CA will secede intact. People tend to forget that West VA was born when VA seceded.

I think everyone south of Orange County, east of the High Sierras and north of Sacramento would choose to stay in the US.

Don’t forget to give them a 12 mile buffer into the ocean and then start building oil rigs 12.5 miles off the coast.

This means all of California’s federal senators and representatives are out of a job. And when Mexico declares war on the nation of California Trump can negotiate with Newsome concerning the conditions of entering the war and returning to the union.
