#20  I would be interested in the dollar analysis:
How much does America get for the federal land, post offices...
How much does America save on social security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid...
How much do we charge for travel to the states and tariffs on movies, energy, water...

#14  The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, issued an official ballot measure title on Tuesday allowing CalExit supporters to start gathering the 585,000 signatures needed to place the matter before California voters in 2018, the Associated Press reported.

You see that AG's name? Uh huh. Where do you think this bullshit is coming from? Mexico City, that's where. Trump needs to put the kibosh on it tout suite.

#13  Without USA defending their interests - how long will they last?

Exactly. It wouldn't be long before an independent Calipr0nia was absorbed by Mexico and the Silicon Valley barons will be begging Trump to let them back into the USA. You people really want that? You want Mexico to be in possession of all those military bases along with San Diego Bay, San Pedro and Oakland/Alameda? I don't think so.

When it comes to blows don't shoot me. I'll be the old guy in a Hawaiian shirt waving a white flag. Give me a gun and I'll help you shoot them down.

#7  Trump would assist the northern part also I do believe.
Posted by: Dale   2017-07-30 11:54  

#6  Have the northern part stay and let the other part go.
Posted by: Dale   2017-07-30 11:53  

#5  Maybe they should do it by county. I hear the majority of counties would rather get rid of the liberal ones.

#4  Promises, promises.

#3  So Nevada, Arizona and Oregon get to keep their water for themselves?

Electricity too?

Pendleton, Twentynine Palms, Edwards, Ft. Irwin, Travis, Miramar and Coronado (plus a few more) would have to relocate somewhere.

#2  Needs a Constitutional Amendment. A state applies and 3/4 of the other states concurring, then its permitted. And...the opportunity of expulsion of a state, with 3/4 of the other states concurring.

#1  Do people in fly-over land get to vote? What's the downside if this initiative goes through?
