California has already seceded by disavowing federal law.

The solution is military take over and establishment of a territorial government. California being no longer a state cannot participate in federal elections for President, Vice President Senators or Representatives.

Individual States are supposed to be doing this anyways. FedGov is not there to wipe their a$$es.

lol. That’d be cool as long as they keep sending their money to the federal government. If California cut off money to the federal government, were in deep trouble.

That’s very true. The problem, of course, is that Newsom is using some weird terminology, to say the least.

He apparently ordered a stricter stay at home order today. I will not abide. Don’t Tread on Me.

Gavin is on track to be President. He will run against Mike Pence.

His Nation State may be the first overt evolution of Sanctuary States exiting the union.

We live in interesting times.

On the other side, if we just cut them off, the new nation state would have a huge number of dead Democrat sanctuary supporting traitors. That’s what China has done to the world, and taken away our democracy so we can become communist states.

Solution: recategorize California’s tax contributions to DC as tribute.

Does this mean that CA loses all of their house and senate seats? Throw the democrat bastards out today.

Funny that people are just now picking up on this nutcase’s egomania overflowing.

He actually is admitting that he’s seceded. At least in practice if not in law.

This is the end game of the mass uncontrolled immigration into California of the last 50 years. California is now physically and ethnically separate from the rest of the United States. There is no emotional connection or loyalty to the rest of the country; the Mexicans and Asians here have no attachment to the history or people of the United States. They regard the Anglos here as a nuisance to be endured until we die off.

Newsom and the Pelosi’s have always had antipathy to the United States as a nation because of their historical opposition as Catholics in a Protestant nation. Now they have a chance to lop off the best part of the hated WASP nation and make it into their own little kingdom: the Asians are alien to them, but grateful to be allowed to live here, and willing to cooperate in the goal of political separation from the Anglo nation far to the East. The Mexicans are of course the spiritual allies of the Irish and Italian Catholics who lead this movement, and dream of the day they can declare an ersatz victory and “take back” the land they lost in 1846. Anyone who thinks they forgot is uninformed. It’s a bitter memory for them. If a white Irishman can lead their modern day San Patricio Battalion to victory over the WASPs, they are just fine with that.

They all face one implacable force: Donald J. Trump.

And that’s the reason they go nuts trying to pull him down: they KNOW he’s the one guy who could take them down...and would.

It needs to come to that. The Sherman family may not have any more cold blue eyed killers like young William Tecumseh, but some real American will have to lead the real fight to keep what was won for America so many decades ago.

“The solution is military take over and establishment of a territorial government. California being no longer a state cannot participate in federal elections for President, Vice President Senators or Representatives”

That is exactly right.

They did it to the South over a lot less.

From the article:

Speaking on MSNBC, Governor Gavin Newsom said that he would use the bulk purchasing power of California “as a nation-state” to acquire the hospital supplies that the federal government has failed to provide.

From a Trump statement on March 16th:

"They can get them faster by getting them on their own," Trump told reporters at the White House. "In other words, go through a supply chain that they may have because the governors, during normal times, the governors buy a lot of things, not necessarily through the federal government."

So Gov. Newsom is only just now taking Trump's advice?

Hmmmm….Does that mean the Fed can yank money from California? (research grants, infrastructure funds, etc.???)

Sounds good to me. But I have a relative there and I spoke to him yesterday...he is so brainwashed that he was praising their total lockdown (except, of course, for illegal immigrants and the “homeless”), which includes arresting people for kayaking alone off the coast. Of course, he has a job that is going to be paid no matter what and he has no family so he’s okay.

BTW, my relative is not elderly. But he’s terrified because he hears nothing but CNN and local news and it’s all “we’re gonna die and you have to give your entire lives over to the government.” But they’re all nuts in CA and they’re total leftist authoritarian government addicts.

So don’t think that this would be easy.

That hasn’t been decided yet. But Newsom has proposed this coin as the Nation of California’s 25 cent piece.
