California Threatens To Cut Off Funds To Washington
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 28 January 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 01/28/2017 3:15:13 PM PST by Rockitz

With secession threats looming, the state of California is reportedly studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.

With California counties among the Top 10 who stand to lose tax-payer funding for providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants...

KPIX5 reports that officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.

The federal funds pay for a variety of state and local programs from law enforcement to homeless shelters.

I believe that they could federalize the California Air and Army National Guard.

If they wanted to.

I am not impressed with all these big red maps we see on every conservative site.

Geography doesn’t vote, people do. So, it doesn’t matter how much red there is on the map. Its not one acre one vote, its one man one vote.

We better learn that the popular vote is what counts in every election except the Presidential....we have two years to win the popular vote in 2018 or we lose the Senate and then all bets are off. Soooo.... Get rid of the illegals, and modify our elections so fraud is much more difficult to do and much easier to uncover. ASAP.

Yes, but there are two courts we are dealing with.

One is the standard, legal court.

The other is the court of public opinion.

Go nuanced, and make California break without violence or the loss of public opinion.

“Yeah the hover Dam I believe was built by Cali. Once they leave .... Yeah they haven’t thought this through. Typical”

Do you have any effing idea how stupid all this chatter here today is? HOOVER Dam was built by the Federal Government ( Bureau of Reclamation ) not California. The available water distribution is through a Federal Compact that gives CA and AZ rights to certain portions of the water. Right now, Southern California is in a world of hurt because AZ is finally taking ALL of it's allotment. So SoCal’s cut is smaller every year because of AZ. Secondly, Lake Mead is silting up and the long-term availability of the water behind Hoover Dam is in no way certain.
Apart from these realities, it's a hoot to watch all the Non-Califiornians pi$$ing themselves over absolutely stupid scenarios with respect to California. I guess we're your “New Nixxer’s” to trash, and you seem to not have the mental acuity to comprehend that there are millions of good Conservatives living here ( I guess you've forgotten where Ronald Reagan came from, and also Jim and John Robinson). But the truth of the matter is all this talk of Calexit is just the “wet dream” of some left-wing nuts that will never come to pass. The only thing these idiots are missing is their pink "vagina hats," and IQ's that are double digit at best. But you go ahead and enjoy yourselves with all your stupid invective, because at the end of the day, your turn will come unless we somehow figure out how to get rid of the Liberals here, they will infect your state with the same results. Our nation's coasts have been first because for most people, they are more desirable places to live, but the Liberals will move to less “desirable” places in Middle America once they've crapped up their nests on the coasts with enough of “their own $hit” to prompt them to “move on!”

“Theirs is not a righteous revolt against tyranny.”

I admit it may not be righteous. But in their minds it is: they want “state’s rights”. This is an admission on their part that being ruled by a far off Big Government is unjust.

Kind of what FR has been fighting for these past decades.

“It’s insurrection against the lawful demands of the federal government, who are merely enforcing the same laws that apply to every state in the union. “

Wow. That almost sounds like something one would read on DU or NYT.

In the big picture: sending less money to DC is a good thing, that all FReepers should support.

President Trump is “bringing them to heel,” doesn’t end up well for the “dog” when it bites back...usually.

Hope PT has some ideas for a response.

“(Not cool with secession, but cool if California wants to cut off funds to the feds).”

Agree 100%, that’s what I’ve been trying say in my less eloquent roundabout way.

“Liberals are ready to destroy the state for illegal votes to keep them in power.”

Nailed it! Orchestrated voter fraud is why they support illegal immigration and oppose voter ID laws. That’s how Gore and Hillary both won the popular vote. Without the electoral college there would only be one party in this country.

No employer is going to listen to any state goon on this.

The IRS can dump your bank accounts faster than you can swat a fly, and without leaving their desk.
