CALIFORNIA HERE I COME !

[CaseHardened]

Well. not yet.

But THE STATE OF JEFFERSON is one that would certainly appeal to me.

Though I would prefer THE COUNTRY OF JEFFERSON.

In California's rural, conservative north, there are big dreams for cleaving the state

 

[CaseHardened]

Let's see:

NO Illegals

NO Gun Control

NO Migrants

NO Official language other than English

NO Affirmative Action Racism

NO Restrictions on Free Speech

NO Horsehsit allowed in the Schools

I'd better stop before I get giddy

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It's interesting. I wonder, has there always been this sort of talk about states breaking up? Or is this all a relatively new wave considering the polarization of the country?

 

[CaseHardened]

NEVER HAPPEN, you say.

You just watch.

If there is a BLUE WAVE, and our LEGAL PRESIDENT is removed by force, there will be Bloodshed.

I'm not encouraging violence, mind you. Just anticipating it.

And it may just begin in Northern California.

Historically it is common.

Compare CA to TX.

Texas was invaded by Mexico. Texans, all on their own, fought them.

They lost the Alamo, but won the War.

If Jefferson was under assault, hundreds of thousands of genuine Americans would join the fray.

Hopefully some US Military.

The Democrats are inviting CIVIL WAR, for real, if they remove PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I AM NOT ENCOURAGING THIS.

IT WOULD BE FAR WORSE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE.

AND IT WOULD BE GEORGE SOROS'S DREAM.

But I do fear the Democrats are too foolish to see that.

 

[CaseHardened]

If only Jeff Sessions continues to remove the CRIMINALS in our midst, a horrific tragedy can be avoided.

Honestly I think it makes sense to break the states up along the lines of conservatism / liberalism anyway. I wouldn't mind this.

The liberals would never go for it though, because they can't suck the blood out of the veins of their own voters when they don't actually work.

Doesn't Jerry Brown and Southern CA want to join Mexico, anyhow ?

LET THEM GO.

And bring in JEFFERSON.

Let em go. Build a wall behind them. Done.

And shoot border jumpers - shoot to kill.

Plus, it would be a weird looking country what with all that red surrounding the tiny specs of blue.

Not for long.

I'm a little biased towards a moat filled with hungry alligators, but whatever helps maintain border security.

What a shame, California used to be one of the richest states in the US, It was hip, new, beautiful, and now its collapsing into third world status.

They reap what they sow.

They sure did.

I don't believe there is any provision in the constitution for a State to be divided, and create two new States, don't quote me, correct me if I'm wrong...

Also, the question of one (State) leaving has been settled (Texas vs U.S.) and the SCOTUS has noted that the joining of the Union is a one way affair.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Northern Cali suffers the same fate as many of us.

State politics dominated by heavily urban areaa with full out socialist loonatic politicians.

Like what the SCOTUS says means anything.

Cleaving?

I'd like to talk to the woman in that photograph about cleavage IYKWIM.

It has been done before. Why not now? I like the idea!



There are three instances of a US state being split: Kentucky was split off of Virginia, Maine off of Massachusetts, and West Virginia off of Virginia.

In addition, Vermont split off of New York (and also New Hampshire; the history here is complicated), but that occurred before New York was part of the United States. If New York had not continued to assert sovereignty over Vermont, the United States might have had fourteen, rather than thirteen, Original States, but New York objected to the recognition of the Vermont Republic as an independent sovereign.

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

Kind of makes it impossible then, doesn't it?
After all, the reason the People might want to split away from their designated State is due to that very State Legislature, which ignores the will of the People to force its own totalitarian and tyrannical regime on any American Citizen caught within their borders.

It's like asking the fox not to eat your chickens after you've set him in charge of the chickencoop.

It's a near identical comparison. In New York, we have a beautiful state with mountains, forests and waterways and a strong rural culture. Unfortunately we are ruled and robbed by a city that cares nothing for us.

OK, I'd settle for living in West Vermont.

We're just trying to make OBummers 57 states gaffe come true.

I can't find the article but I remember reading that the people of Northern California were talking about creating the State of Jefferson back in the 1920s and '30s. It's really not that new of an idea. Now if only we could get New Amsterdam rolling here.

 

[NY Leatherneck]

Another article....Fuac is even mentioned.
