Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

      The whole West Coast should secede, and form an alliance with Canada and Mexico. That would surround about 2/3 of the country with enemy territory, and cut America off from the entire west coast shipping lanes. They could charge America exorbitant tariffs to ship goods through the Rockies.

      California secession / Calexit would be beautiful. That is how I know it would never happen, even as rest of the US collapses into Gilead.

          Here is the CalExit website. We got 210,000+ signatures through there, probably a bit more through other means. Hopefully Californians would do the right thing and reach the petition’s requirement. California should R&D the possibility of secession sooner, rather than have many surprises if later forced into a crisis.

            If this were to ever happen in my mind it makes the most sense for Oregon and Washington to come with… Though that’s probably too much to ask

          I love it. “Here’s a petition to betray the country. Any separatists come forward and put your name on this list.”

          It will save sooooo much time.

            Conservatives betrayed the country when they RE-ELECTED a felon rapist traitor to tank our economy, remove our rights, ignore our Constitution, and sow division amongst Americans.

            Us blue states are just tired of giving our money to traitor fuck welfare queens.

              trump already betrayed the country.

              That means it’s time to separate the country from Trump.

              Far past the time, actually, but it’s never a bad time to get started.
