When Dems running the show, your are a republican, when Rep. are at the wheel, you are an american; I see how that works.

They can move the capitol to Berkeley. Clinton and Pelosi can be the co-Lezbeon's in Chief. No guns. Free Weed for everyone. They can call the new place Utopia. Kum-bai-yah will be the national anthem.

And, of course, no walls.
That is a great idea! With $2.4bil in US GDP at #1 in the nation, I think CA will do just fine on its own. Keep CA $ in the state and cut support to FEDs. CA is the 6th largest economy in the world.

Would fail in a year, probably less. People who keep spewing these numbers clearly don't understand exactly HOW their economy works.

One simple question... how you planning to keep the lights on?

I never thought I would get into politics, but I think I am about to start a PAC.

The NOCAL PAC.

<Click Here> to donate.

The money will be used first to dam off the Colorado River before it gets to the US border with PRC.

Wait a minute, it has already been built. We just have to hit the "OFF" button.

They will have to grow their weed organically. No more green houses in Berkeley powered by the Colorado River.

The Open Skies Treaty allows for either side to request arbitration in disputes. Last summer the European Union had filed for arbitration in the matter. The attorneys for the U.S. Department of Transportation, after reviewing the matter, determined they had no legal grounds in which to deny the NAI permit and would in all likelihood lose the arbitration case. It was at that point the DOT finally issued the permit to NAI.

Incidentally the lead U.S. negotiator for the Open Skies Treaty has also stated that it is his opinion there is zero legal basis for denying NAI.

Wonder why ALPA, in its desire to make sure its members are fully informed on the issues, did not feel the need to make sure its members were informed of the legal opinions from the parties involved...
As we wonder why Mr. Kjos, who has pledged certain things regarding his intended hiring practices given all the applied heat, still balks at putting them in writing.

No problem....cut off the colorado river and we cut off your food supply.

California's agricultural abundance includes more than 400 commodities. Over a third of the country's vegetables and two-thirds of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California.

And if you do hit the off button where do you suppose all that water will go?

Lake Mead, they need it.


You do realize the US flourished for two centuries before CA agriculture started up right? Good luck getting all those red rural areas to secede with CA. Or NorCal...aka The State Of Jefferson.
