Heading into the July 4th weekend, the prospect of forming "a more perfect union" has rarely been this dismal. The Democratic "resistance" - evoking memories of the "underground" opposition to Nazi Germany by western European countries - gets more hysterical by the day. The rhetoric of opposition becomes more unhinged, more violent as Democrats have been stymied by Republicans at the ballot box and in Congress.
As this Vox article points out, for many blue states and cities, "resistance" has gone beyond opposition and has entered the surreal world of actually ignoring the foreign policy being made in Washington and negotiating their own "deals" with European countries on climate change.

They can’t let go of their little carbon tax swindle. It was within their grasp, and now it’s gone!
The more those states spend on “climate change” nonsense, the faster their pensions will disappear.
All these states wasting their time and money on climate BS are in the throes of a pension crisis or will be in short order.
And the hilarious part is that those pensions are government-worker pensions, or in other words, they’re screwing the same people who did their dirty work for all these years. The poetic justice factor is off the charts.
Let them.
It puts them at even more of an economic disadvantage compared with those states retaining sanity.
Let them sink.
They pretty much have to get that money from the people to their cronies now.
They’ve already gotten the donations and favors.
Those aren’t the kind of people that let one get away without paying what’s owed.
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."
Good for them. They can break their own economies and we can have some of that classic state to state comparison. If they try to force other states to comply by restricting commerce well, that is explicitly unConstitutional.
It will be funny as hell if Washington blockades the semiseceding States.
I like mine better:
Washington looking to bypass Blue states on federal grants
Let the blues reap what they sow. Just don’t help finance it with any fed dollars. Wouldn’t hurt to set up offices in California that advertise the economic advantage of moving to red states while we’re at it.
At some point bankruptcy will afflict many blue states. The Democrats will want a bailout. That may be the final trigger event in America, when the responsible are asked to bailout the prodigal.
Well, they've been ignoring that one for a long while now, so there's no reason to believe they won't get away with bypassing the Constitution on other things as well.
or many blue states and cities, “resistance” has gone beyond opposition and has entered the surreal world of actually ignoring the foreign policy being made in Washington and negotiating their own “deals” with European countries on climate change.
yawn::except their agreements don’t mean bull squeeze.
powah to da pee-pul..
sdastfu..idiots
Say, isn't the bankrupt state of Illinois a "Blue State" and hasn't it been for a lifetime?
They cannot negotiate their own deal with Euro nations. It’s illegal.
“It’s illegal.” LOL! They’re libs. NOTHING is illegal for them. Re: hildabeast’s crimes big and small. Until the DOJ steps up, they’ll remain a joke.
Blue states, blue balls...both miserable.
But at least there is a cure for blue balls.
