So you're hedging your bets. 8-)

It's fair to say that you're still more religious than Drumpf!
Not hedging, I don't believe that there is a conscious entity out there somewhere that has interest in us and has scripted everything we sense and every decision we make. I'm hearing some interesting comments from physicists about string theory and shit and what they think the math is telling them.

DUH!

However, Clinton ran up the score in NY and CA. Why? Why run up the score in states you know you'll win over states you might be weak in? :suspicious: I can't wait for the "autopsy" to come out. I'm sure 99% of it will be Comey and Russia and 1 or 2 pages on their failure to attract Bernie voters and their abysmal candidate.
Won't it be written by the very same DNC that is itself ground zero for the biggest fvckup ever in an American election?

California is already behaving like a foreign country in some ways. I kind of like the free exercise of states' rights although the irony would probably be lost on many Californiacs

California. :rofl:

Cut off their federal funds...do not allow their agriculture products to be sold in the US...cut off their water from the rivers that originate elsewhere in the US...let them rot. :nod:

Conservatives bemoaning all things California is as tired and played out as Liberals ranting about Texas...
Frankly they are two of our Nations greatest states
and the majority of the hate is due to just that

Nobody cares about Nebraska or Arkansas or the vast majority of other states
because why...?
Because they are the Cleveland Browns of States

Texas and California are the GREATEST of our Nations states
With most other states falling a distant second

Yeah... but
The president has threatened to withhold Federal Funding to California
California is among a handful of so-called “donor states,”
States which pay more in taxes to the federal Treasury than they receive in government funding...

So hows that going to work for the Feds..?

The Feds can hold out a whole lot longer than Cali can, and their fist is a whole lot bigger too. :nod:

Half the country had to eat shit sandwiches for the past 8 years. It's not so cool now that the shoe is on the other foot. :lol:

None of the 58 counties in California abide by federal detainer requests. In LA, jailed illegals are set free when their sentences are complete. By FEDERAL law, they are required to notify ICE so they can be deported...you know, because they are criminals and all. :silly:

It's not quite as emotional as all that for me
I'm not too worried what California or the Federal Government do vs. each other..

It's just that the Federal Government withdraws more money from CA. than they contribute to the state
So the carrot and stick thing will require more than just blank threats of withholding money

California may be a donor state but that is coming from individuals and busineses paying taxes to the feds not because the state is sending money to the feds. So the feds win this one.
