Aside from the fact that a state as economically powerful as California seceding would ruin the Nation on the whole.

So, you guys getting tired of winning yet? And we in Europe only have to start, soon we to will be winning all the time. All of us will be first all the time. All of us will be winners .

Gosh, it is like that preschool thing republican highschool kids love to complain about. That everybody get's a sticker .

But then in country form .

From Le Penn to Wilders... we'll all get stickers and "win" YAY .

 

[Shoeless]

i never thought id see someone go full facist american president... and people lapped it up just like nazis

im sure itll get blocked by good people but its becoming morbidly fascinating watching the facist playbook being run

I think this is just a symptom of a long running American belief that freedom only applies to certain Americans. Once other Americans started benefiting from it--or, worse yet, actually surpassing white Americans--it became a problem, and they're now willing to give up that freedom if it means putting those fake Americans "back in their place." Or, better yet, another place entirely.

This is the same Jake Tapper who admonished the Obama White House for its treatment of "one of our sister networks [Fox]."

You know that you're arguing against yourself, right?

[Arkage]

This is especially ironic considering how the altright and Trump bitch about deplatforming while the White House itself is doing it to news organizations.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Bin Laden won.

I guess he did want to destroy America.

 

[E-Cat]

Damn him for being logically consistent!

Would you rather he responded like a partisan hack dipshit?

#CalExit2019

Then at least there will be some humanity left to salvage.

The Russians would like that.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Yup

This is not 12th dimensional chess. They're just what they've always said they are: fascists.

Why not both?.gif

 

[Dude Abides]

This is a nasty business but it's largely symbolic. Little actual news comes out of these press briefings.

 

[BFIB]

This is unprecedented. What are the legal ramifications here?

 

[sturgboski]

This is especially ironic considering how the altright and Trump bitch about deplatforming while the White House itself is doing it to news organizations.

Did you know the economy was in the shitter until the second Obama came into office and then everyone felt the economy was better? I mean nothing actually changed, but terrible human beings that are irredeemable felt it changed.

Or you know, how states rights are great until I want to remove the rights of the states because they support things I dont like.

Basically Republicans and small minded people 101.

 

[Maximus.]

I think other countries would come to the aid of the smart people.

Before a war occurred on American soil, I would imagine the president would be impeached for allowing such war and unrest to occur.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This sets a really scary precedent. But who was free press?

 

[super-heated plasma]

As pointed, all this Civil War talk is WAAAAYY to premature and shouldn't even really be entertained at this point. I want Trump out as much as everybody, but the way to do that is voting and protesting and speaking up at town halls. We see it already having an effect with Obamacare. If we just keep our foot on the gas pedal, eventually we'll run this pig over.

 

[espher]

Just get CA the state to join CA the country. #Californada

I'd argue that if Calexit does indeed happen, the rest of the US is unsalvageable.

CA CA

 

[Gutek]

Honestly, America needs to be split into two countries. There is no way around it.

 

[Nerazar]

If California tries to secede, you bet your ass the federal government will march on in there to prevent it. There is no way in hell they just allow all of that tax revenue and resources/industry to leave.

Russia would welcome you, though. And yes, the Calexit movement is part of Russia's game. Putin like seceding countries / regions as long as it's not in Russia. It's OK in the case of Crimea or even the occupied parts of Eastern Ukraine where they already acknowledged the "passports" of the "republics". It's like acknowledging passports from the IS, but the Kremlin does not need to mask its actions anymore. They also pushed Brexit and push for movements like Catalonia, by the way.

And you have the chance to give back Alaska, that's a sting Russia will never forgive the US.

CA CA

OR and WA wanna follow too.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

lol - voting.

Yeah, 2018 is the last optimism these people have left. When that falls apart too, we gotta act and/or find an exit.

"Wait to vote" - people not realizing how many will die over these decisions and don't have that kind of time to act

 

[super-heated plasma]

lol - voting.

yes-lol voting. Its precisely the fact that people did NOT vote that let Trump into the white house.

 

[Infinite Stars]

OR and WA wanna follow too.

If you guys follow, you could join Canada too? Make the West Coast Whole again?

Exactly.

 

[Tak3n]

I am not American, but how can this be illegal? As surely if they dont want them in then tough luck, it is private property?

So are you gonna be the one to take up arms and fire the first shot? Where will be the next Fort Sumter?

 

[tuxfool]

Considering they'd be independent i doubt they care

A nutcase tin-pot nation at their border? They should care.

[rec0ded1]

Easy solution, tell them you're part of some tea party rag, get the press pass ask crap, report back to base. James bond that shit.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's not illegal. Just childish and unstatesmanlike.

It's all about upholding that Trump brand.

The press needs to continue pushing. This admin are flat-out lying through their teeth.

[E-Cat]

Press gaggle lol

Is 'gaggle' the sound that is made when he mouthfucks them?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Bin Laden won.

No doubt about it.

 

[Already Torn]

Hold that L CNN

They're barely even talking about it, they're focusing on the other shit he's doing still.

Just spent 30 seconds on it before moving into FBI.

 

[Gutek]

Hold that L transparency, 1st Amendment, and democracy.

Fixed it for you.

 

[DangerStepp]

Hahahaha.

Fake news gets treated as such.

 

[fantomena]

ISIS is pretty silent these days. I guess they are just watching the collapse of america live on TV these days.
