The irony is that in 2028, a state with the same population as Canada might hold a referendum about leaving America. This trade dispute just might push California over the edge, and I am not talking about earthquakes.

If America is so out of control and beyond the reach of the Rule of Law and the Constitution that it can elect Trump (recall that he is considered to be potentially a traitor to the Constitution by the Supreme Court), then it is definitely within the realm of possibility that California could separate.

      Someone please explain what benefits there are to being a state at all? I don’t even want to travel there because of how fucked up their rights and laws are…

      Discourse from the tripes incoherently disturbing the narrative at the surface. Trump always tells you what he wants to do. He cannot contain himself. Every idea seeps through his pores in the manner of freudian slips.

      Alberta has a wide-on for InDePeNdAnCe and Ford wants to wire Ontario with cameras. Our politicians send a lot of mixed messages.

        but neither of those are benefits of being one of the united states, are they?
