Brown, and his ilk around the world, want total government control over everything

As long as THEY can be that government.

Good on you Moonbeam!

I think a 20% tax on Pepsico should do it.

Brown knows he’ll lose this but he’s going to go this route because he wants to set himself up as the great democrat fascist hope of 2020.

Isn’t it obvious?

Tax the hell out of people to keep your marble walls immune.

There is a bit of history here. In the ‘60s California enacted emission standards for cars sold there which were much more stringent than anywhere else in U.S. Since California was such a large market, many manufacturers eventually saw the commercial wisdom of no longer making two models, one for sale in CA, and another for sale everywhere else, and only built cars to CA standards.

Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, and legislative leaders said they would work directly with other nations 

Unconstitutional. That power is reserved to the Federal Government.

“But California — a state that has for 50 years been a leader in environmental advocacy — is about to step unto the breach.”

With six of the ten top polluted cities in the country. How’s that advocacy working out for you Givernir Brown?

Nope. That is our soil, be ready to fight for it.

I haven’t traveled to California for decades, but when I did I found it to be a beautiful place. I don’t go there now because I can’t stand most of it’s people. The folks on our side down there need our help to get it back.

I don’t claim to know how to fight this fight, but giving up our soil isn’t a winning solution...that is surrender.

In the not too distant future, Latino’s will control CA thru the ballot box and I doubt they will be any more environmentally conscious than they were/are in Mexico.

Of this I am sure: When the Federal spigot is cut off, the farmers energy companies start running hourly ads on why food costs so much, and gasoline too...not to mention your AC in summer, the political climate will CHANGE RAPIDLY.

By far most of the people who support these policies don’t have a clue how much they cost. Especially for essentials. That’s been removed from the propaganda, and anyone who talks about it is cut off and demonized.

Smart Dims (oxymoron, I know) will get a head start and run for the hills now. Hells a comin’.

“Nope. That is our soil, be ready to fight for it.”

++++

I agree completely.

This idea we should just write Califoria off is stupid on so many levels, and, to name one, if we let the Mexicans have it we then have to fight them from taking the rest of the southwest one easy state at a time.

Then the Midwest.

We’re Americans, we are going to drive out the invaders, defeat the Liberals, and keep it for the next generation to enjoy.

I actually think the Liberals are about to ‘tip over’, and Trump is going to do it.

Cut off ALL Federal money to California. Where will Gov. Moonbeam get the money to fight this?

LOL So that would be a win/win then for the brainless libertards.

Have fun bankrupting yourselves.

And if you manage to secede to live in your delusions, have fun without water.
