There’s no mystery in this. The answer is obvious. He works for Trump (who of course works for Putin).
Think about it. California secedes. Immediately the population of illegals in the US drops by about a third. Illegal “problem” doesn’t look so overwhelming to Trump supporters and he claims substantial progress on campaign promise.
With California also go its massive infrastructure problems, public employee pension problems, massive support for health care, etc. -— freeing up money for Trump to reward those states where he got majority of votes.
Putin, its true, gets California. However, what appears to western leaders as the problem of “ungovernable” California is just another Chechnya type situation for him. California “resistance” is brutally suppressed. Vlad reserves the California coast from Malibu to Santa Barbara, takes up surfing, builds a wonderful compound in the former site of Ojai.
Everybody wins! Except Californians, of course. But who gives a shit about them anyway. They just get what they’ve got coming.
Just one thing, Vesparado. Assuming the scenario you described takes place, will Trump have to extend the proposed wall to go around California, too?
