California wants to succede ,
several minutes pass...

OK.

The United States will need a western sea port
this can be in either Oregon or Washington unless
they too want to succede.

and Califonia will need right of passage to the east

Im sure that our two militaries can arrange an agreement
to make the transition smooth.

and of course California will require a open border to
the south so the wall will need to take a sharp turn north
when the construction encounters California.

that would be neat and when the wall that will need to be
built around California gets up into the mountains it will
look like the great wall of china.

Im just wondering if you guys have run the numbers
to calculate your advantage knowing that the succession will
terminate all Federal assistance which includes all Federal assistance.

pros:

1) you will have a open border.
2) you can elect Hillary as your President.
3) you can maintain your status as trendy and politically correct.

cons:

1) your new California Country will begin with its share
of the U.S. debt and its current monthly bills.
2) you can reduce the tax rate to Zero if you choose and
just print your own money to balance your budget.
3) china wont accept your printed money as payment of
your portion of acquired U.S. debt which according to your
55 electorial votes will be a very large sum of money.
4) you could always sell more of it or lease more of it to
china ... why not ... its trendy!
5) you would eventually become a part of China , and that may
bring your social status down slightly.

but hey you'll never know until you try it ... right?

theres nothing in the U.S Constitution that says that
your state cant succede.

go for it !!

OH !!!

I just found this tonight.

unless Im wrong FTOOTH

the dark red and the dark blue is to be translated as
solid GOP or solid DNC vote intensity and the other shades
of red and blue translating into lower and lower vote intensity.

if so !

then California doesnt really look as if all of California
would be willing to secede from the union.

in fact it looks like the dark blue parts of the state
only make up apx 5% of california.

where as the dark red parts make up at least %20.

just scanning over the state it looks as if the state
consist mostly of some shade of red Im going to say
80% red.

pretty much the same thing goes for the states of
oregon and washington as well.

looking at this map shows that most of the country
as a whole at least 80% maybe as much as 90% of the
counties within the borders of the country as a whole
voted for President Trump.

if someone asked me what color this map is , I would have
to say it is red with blue specks on it.

you may want to consider that the red parts of california
may not want to be dragged into a secession from the Union.

and I dont think that the Constitution gives rights to county
or city governments that would allow them to secede.

what is not granted or prohibited by the Constitution is granted to
the states or the People.

you would need to form a separate state or states in order to
secede from the Union.

because the people in the red parts are protected by the
United States Constitution.

lets turn this around and imagine that Clinton won
how would you feel about all the people in the red parts
if they wanted to secede.
