Gee, I wonder how long desert/drought conditions have existed in California?

The California Legislature reconvenes this week, but thanks to Donald Trump, it is more likely to resemble a war council in the coming months than the deliberative body of the most populous state in the nation.
This war posture is triggered by fears that Trump’s election means life as we know it in the Golden State is about to change for the worst. Marauding hordes of federal agents will sweep up illegal immigrants wherever they find them, Covered California will be rendered naked, and scientists who believe in climate change will be pushed to the sidelines.
Out will go solar power and renewable energy, to be replaced by fracking and offshore oil drilling. Salmon runs? Delta smelt? Forget about it. Those cotton farmers down in the desert need the water. (Besides, Trump said we don’t have a drought, so there.)
That’s the apocalyptic picture painted by our elected Democratic officials, who have suddenly become big fans of states rights now that they view the federal government as a possible foe instead of a friend.
Even Gov. Jerry Brown, who was surprisingly sanguine about Trump’s election, finally sounded the alarm last month by vowing to defy the feds if the Trump Administration impedes California’s efforts to thwart climate change.
“We’ve got the scientists, we’ve got the lawyers and we’re ready to fight. We’re ready to defend,” Brown told a group of scientists meeting in San Francisco, sounding just like Texas Gov. Rick Perry when Barack Obama was elected president. Some people think Perry’s nomination to head the Energy Department triggered the outburst.
Brown was about the last elected Democratic official in California to get on the anti-Trump bandwagon....

"Out will go solar power and renewable energy, to be replaced by fracking and offshore oil drilling. Salmon runs? Delta smelt? Forget about it. Those cotton farmers down in the desert need the water."
During the depression, California required proof of $50.00 to enter their stare.
Can we now require proof of financial responsibility to leave?

Marauding hordes of federal agents will sweep up illegal immigrants wherever they find them, Covered California will be rendered naked, and scientists who believe in climate change will be pushed to the sidelines.

Projection from Big-gov jackasses, they are so deluded they think that Adolph Hitler was a “small government dictator” they fail to realize that Nazi Germany was the epitome of the “Total Government Utopia” they would love to force upon everyone.

Just build a fence around californicate and cut off their water and federal funds.
Activate the national guard and the highway patrol and erect barriers on every road that enters the state and keep those horrid Trumpers out. Close the airports and harbors. But permit illegal immigrants full entry and put them on welfare. By golly, that will be how California shows Trumpers what they think of them and him.
Coordinated in cities across the U.S.
Yep, CA should build a wall to keep us out.
