It'll be fun for a couple of weeks ... until Washington's magic printing press cuts off their supply of paper money.

What would the Illegals do? Would they stay in the Republic of California and risk bankruptcy...or would the flee to the USA, where welfare benefits would be more dependable?

California can start their own central bank and issue currency, open borders, open ports and then, tax the jeebers out of Silicon Valley, the movie industry, and everyone who makes over $50K to start.

I can see a great future for moving companies, packers and private security firms.

Don't expect Uncle Sam to provide for your defense. Moonbeam will have to work that out.

Wait until Russia and/or China get involved to “support” their independence.

What a coincidence - a growing number of Americans want California to secede too.

Looks like that wall will have to be extended another 900 miles or so...

I like the idea of 98 senators and 382 Congressional Reps.

Bring it on!

They should nickname their currency the “wacko”. If they want to leave we should let them.

Anyone who wants to become a citizen of California will lose their US Citizenship and should be treated as a foreign nationals, right down to requiring a travel visa to enter the remaining states.

They will need an arms agreement from us to purchase military gear (unless they want to be occupied by Mexico or someone else looking to annex them).

The resulting taxation and nationalization of infrastructure to pay for it all will be a stark reminder of what happens when we let lunatics take over the the public education system.

I wish my county, Placer, would secede from California. Then I wouldn’t have to move to Nevada.

Exactly. The Chinese own Long Beach and the port. Maybe Cali can become Little Hong Kong???

An even larger number of Californians want to secede from California. Let's be clear - the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles area are basically separate states from the rest of California (I live in the SF Bay Area). They have a lot of people, but they do not represent all, most or even much of California geographically. Most of the state is populated by folks who aren't wealthy tech or media workers, and most of them would probably prefer to live in a state which looked after their interests instead of catering to the out-of-touch, wealthy left-wingers living in Silicon Valley or Calabasas.

Okay. But only on a county-by-county basis.

Those counties that vote to remain in the USA will be allowed to do so.

We will provide for the defense-Monroe Doctrine. As for seceding can they do it by Nov. 18’?

Would be interesting how much of the National Debt they would carry. Let Trump negotiate this deal.

If they do secede, they’ll be doing it without the water-laden North State. They want nothing to do with it.

Can the conservatives in California step up and get this idea over 50%? They can always move afterward.

Also be nice for the Dems to lose the electoral college votes.

Check out the novel PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC. It’s about the left splitting off into their own (hellhole) country. Fun read.

70% of US citizens want California to leave as well. California will consist of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Welcome to the Union Jefferson
