I Am a Thinker

Fox News claims that California is planning to secede from the U.S. Good or bad? Thoughts anybody?

Never believe Fox news they are very false news.

The right for a state to deny a woman to have an abortion isn't explicitly written into the Constitution either. But the [b]United States Supreme Court[/b] ruled it was [b]UNCONSTITUTIONAL[/b]. [i]Roe v Wade[/i].

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the relationship between a state and the United States is "indissoluble."

[b][big]Read the freaking decision![/big][/b]

We spend all this money supposedly for our educational system and this is the result?

People . . . [b]Educate yourself[/b] on what the United States Supreme Court does.

Your responses make me think I am talking to a bunch of ignorant [b]RUSSIANS[/b]!

@beckyromero Well, you're just a bit emotional, huh? I won't take the time to explain how silly your example was. And wrong. It's clearly pointless. (Here's a clue though. There's a difference between affirming something as being constitutional and saying it isn't).
I think you just have an overwhelming need to be right. And as I have no interest in that mindset...I'll just quietly exit stage left. Won't respond to whatever name you'll call me now either. So have at it.

No matter how often others here may call me "emotional", have a "need to be right", resort to name-calling or whatever...

[b]FACTS ARE FACTS.[/b]

And the [b]FACT[/b] is that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the relationship between a state and the United States is "indissoluble."

Anyone who is [i]genuinely[/i] interested doesn't have to take my word for it.

They can read the decision for themselves.

We're not, it's a ballot proposal that so far most people are against. Trust Fox to get it wrong again. 😥
@Adam1985 I'd be against it.

@bijouxbroussard I'm not surprised Fox would parrot an idea they invented.

Good for us, bad for them. They are already turning into another Venezuela. Let them go.

@lamppost If you're not in NY, chances are, you're one of the leeches. Supported by "socialist" California, and the vast commercial machine that powers the state.
@lamppost

You said
[quote]Well, you claim to know everything about AL and MS? How long were you there?
[/quote]
And when I answered, you replied,[quote]I'm not from AL or MS. Don't know why you keep bringing them up.[/quote] [b]YOU BROUGHT IT BACK UP !!![/b]

and when I told you [quote]You're the only one who thinks we're socialists.[/quote]

your reply was:[quote]When did I do that. I simply pointed out CA was socialist and then all you socialists started singing the praises of capitalism.[/quote]

This is not a socialist state !!! Only [b]you[/b] think that, and your experience with the state is clearly limited !!!


You were definitely tired and making no sense.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard I agree with you that California is not "socialist."

Especially since your state has more [b]TRUMP[/b] voters than anywhere but I'd guess Texas. Maybe Florida?

It's the crazy stuff your legislature does that makes news in fly-over country.

(No doubt every state has a couple crazy politicians. Just saying.)

That's going to make the wall a lot longer....will California pay for it?
Adam1985 · 36-40, M
@Shutterbug Would U B for or against the idea if it were true?
Shutterbug · 56-60, M
@Adam1985 I'm neutral....I think it's for Californians to comment

You lost me at "Fox News claims..."

All that happened is the Calexit got the greenlight to try and get enough signatures to put it on the ballot. And even with that, the vote would be about pursuing more legislative conversations. Then there would be another round of signatures and a vote. And THEN it would require votes on the federal level.

In other words, ain't gonna' happen.

I'll bet anything that FOX positioned it as a soon-to-be done deal and an "F the Libs" hit though.

Losing that as an electoral block against him, that's one sure way for Trump to be reelected....
@fun4us2b I wouldn't be surprised if that's why the person's proposing it again. He lost out the last time. Even if there were a majority supporting it, it would take longer than two years.

@bijouxbroussard Too bad our politicians don't know how to help us leverage our strengths...all pull in the same direction at the same time...instead they dream up publicity grabs

I don’t care if they do or don’t.

Hawaii wants to become a sovereign nation too.
Adam1985 · 36-40, M
@SimplyTracie It would be a good place to send all the illegals, kinda like Gitmo. Hawaii used to be it's own island nation before the U.S. gov. came along and demanded to purchase it, practically at gunpoint.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Adam1985 They didn’t purchase shit.

Complete baloney.

The Russians are behind it.

No, I'm not joking.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard Nope.

@beckyromero So he's an advocate. It's still not happening.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard [quote]It's still not happening.[/quote]

Oh, I agree with that. I don't believe the Constitution even allows for succession.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
Fox News is looking for something to fill in the headlines about Trump and his latest "successes"
Am all for it ..

It is an excellent way to get rid of a several trillion of our debt.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
Are you for or against?
