#1 ...his state will bypass Washington, D.C., and work instead with foreign governments on ways to reduce climate change.

Sounds illegal as all hell - go for it, Moonbeam!

#2 The independent country of California. Fine, kick them loose, no US tax payer money and no water for them. Let Mexico take it back.

Indeed it does Nero. It tells us almost as much as the tens of millions who voted for HRC.

#7 I hope Trump pulls funding for that BS high speed train between LA and SF when he gets into office. That's just a way to transfer money into CA coffers as a reward for throwing themselves on the sword of liberal policies.

#8 I suppose this is the part where the rest of y'all are going to be unionist and constitutional and all that bullshit and keep the rest of us from putting Tariffs on goods California wants to export to our states?

#9 ...no,no. I want to renegotiate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to return most of the coasties to Mexico. Then deal with Mexico over NAFTA as Trump has articulated.

#11 Re #7: CA asked for a $15 M Federal loan for some of the High Speed train stations and 'stuff;' The loan request was submitted before the election when it was a sure thing Cankles would get elected.

Well she didn't and the loan was rejected. Now Moonbeam is way short of $$ for his Lionelfromhell.

#12 Ref #11: I'll bet Moonbeam isn't the only one left holding an empty purse. I fear for Trump and Pence from now through inauguration day. I hope their security details are up to scratch. I suspect there are people out there who would do anything to prevent them from taking office.

#13 That loan application was for $15 billion, with a B. Let's not be pikers. If you're gonna squander tax payers' money, do it big time.

Lame-Duck Obama Admin Rejects CA High-Speed Rail $15 Billion Loan

Technically, I like the idea of trains. A high speed train from LA to San Francisco would be good, if it could be done on time and budget without all the graft that one must expect with the criminals running California. Bakersfield to San Jose not so much.

Another good idea would be to put a real, functional subway system into LA. Driving in that town is a nightmare. The cost would be astronomical but the hours and the gasoline lost on those freeways are astronomical too. I know, I know. Just don't ask Texans to pay for it.

#14 As for secession or the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, here's the deal:

We know that beginning with Bill Clinton or most likely with Bush Senior a drastic, almost biblical demographic redistribution was undertaken in the southwestern United States. We know that before then California, even with San Francisco and Los Angeles, was a red state that gave you presidents like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. We know that the demographic redistribution was largely responsible for turning California from red to blue and we know that was the purpose of the redistribution.

Wouldn't it be smarter to find a way to turn California back to red than giving it to Mexico? Let us consider the politics of the possible instead of the cynical. The first step, of course, would be to deport illegal aliens. We are a sovereign nation and we have a right to do so. Another step might be to defang and/or defund the university system and the teachers' union. If Democrats can mess with peoples' lives on a grand scale then so can Trump.
