You understand Bannon well enough to know that he understands "cheese," right? This is "cheese."

Steve Bannon warned Friday evening that California might pose a "problem" to the U.S. by attempting to secede.
Couching his statement on California's status as a "sanctuary state," Bannon, President Trump's former chief strategist, contended that California's Democrats and "the lords of Silicon Valley" would attempt to flee like states did in the run-up to the Civil War if the policy isn't turned around.
"You are a sanctuary state," he told a crowd in Anaheim at the California Republican Party convention. "If you do not roll this back, 10 or 15 years from now the folks in Silicon Valley and progressive Democrats are going to try to secede from the union."
The issue of secession was settled 150 years ago, Bannon contended, adding, "And it's going to be a ... problem here in California."
California became a "sanctuary state" earlier this month, after Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill on that prevents law enforcement officers from "asking about immigration status during routine interactions," defying the Trump administration.
During his speech, Bannon touted "economic nationalism," contending that people who " "are working two jobs" "got screwed" while those profiting in Silicon Valley "think they get a special deal" by getting "all the benefits of a free society," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
He blamed China for gaming the system in favor of "Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Hollywood and Washington, D.C."
Bannon, who is back at Breitbart News as executive chairman, also condemned former President George W. Bush, who just one day prior delivered speech widely seen as an implicit rebuke of Trump.
"There has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush's," Bannon said.
>>911 would have been the time to start enforcing our immigration laws.
Instead Bush attacked a country that had nothing to do with 911 and destabilized the middle east.
He also went petal to the metal on keeping the borders open. Not too long ago California was a moderate state, now it is deep blue. It really is Bush’s fault.
What a awful President he turned out to be

I also remember hearing the report that he invited CAIR to their private behind the scenes tour of upgraded airport security measures.
He is every bit a traitor as Obama and Clinton.
I think if Calif could just be depleted of illegals and brain damaged creatures, the remainder of the state’s citizens would not wish to secede, and the state could then be restored.
Electoral votes
CA has 55. TX 36, NY 29, SC 9
Import of illegals and other illegal actions it’s almost a lawless state as it is nothing gets better in California it’s Cook county west.
I don’t think you’re view of my post is fair. I never said they can’t go. I did say that if they do, they surrender the rights and priveledges of being a part of the USA including freedom to come and go as they wish, freedom to leverage resources from adjoining states, federal funds, etc and that to get any of that back they need to negotiate treaties. I think they have a lot we who remain in the union would want, namely produce. So trade agreements can be worked out. However once they declare themselves a sovereign state I fully expect that they will have an open border policy and will be overrun with pretty much the whole population of Mexico. Indeed, I predict the result is that they would eventually merge with Mexico. Hence they should be on the other side of the wall.
Please, make it so.
Thanks for this info. I didn’t know what a busy little bee he has been. If he ever gets China and Russian financial backing to secede, things will be much more complicated than just waving goodbye.
Thanks. I always seem to pull a blank when I see EV.
CA will never leave. It can’t afford to.
Does this mean the 49ers will become the Las Vegas 69ers?
NO! You cannot infiltrate a state with a foreign population illegally and then claim you have sovereignty. That’s called invasion and occupation. They have to go back.
Yes, also the Chargers will be the Salt Lake City Pledgers and the Raiders will become the Portland Hip Waders while the Rams will just go back to St Louis and keep their name.
Yes but, do we have the belly to fight it again?
Spot on. But I wouldn't mind seeing Kali "Reconstructed".
Oh, please.
Believe it or not most (voting) Californians actually have a sensible deportment and think that California government and federal reps are idiots.
I don't believe it because most Californians keep voting for them.
Why? Because they are a drain on the rest of us.
I’m thinking let’s get rid of the illegals and braindamaged, and keep the fertile land.
Good news. Declare an insurrection, seize Government buildings, declare the California legislature an illegal body, appoint a new Governor, full martial law and aggressive deportation action.
What’s not to love?
Yay!
