1. Thank goodness I am in California, and f**k trump, and the assholes he rode in with

[spiderpig]

2. You're speaking for me, still_one

If this bunghole finishes four years in office (on his fast food diet) I'll be 70 years old.

JFC on a popsicle stick. It's not the way I saw myself going out, and I survived Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Bush.

[still_one]

5. That is the problem spider. This was a generational event, and unless something very

extraordinary occurs, it will take at least a entire generation to undo all the damage that potentially can happen.

All the progress that had been made with Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Environmental Rights, Health Care, etc. will have to be re-fought.

Those issues were already under attack.

Safety Net programs such as Social Security and Medicare that we have taken for granted, they are going to try and decimate them.

My first election was for George McGovern.

This was the most important election of my lifetime, and America failed miserably

The legislature have already pledged to do everything to counter a trump presidency:

"We will be reaching out to federal, state and local officials to evaluate how a Trump Presidency will potentially impact federal funding of ongoing state programs, job-creating investments reliant on foreign trade, and federal enforcement of laws affecting the rights of people living in our state. We will maximize the time during the presidential transition to defend our accomplishments using every tool at our disposal.

While Donald Trump may have won the presidency, he hasn’t changed our values. America is greater than any one man or party. We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution."

We all have to stick together, it has gotten very real

14. The same conversation we had last night.

Goddamn. After all their horse shit and lies. They have had the WORST presidents ever, but the one coming? I don't think I could have gone and tried to find a worse person had I honestly tried.

[nolabels]

19. You know what they say, 'the crap always rises to the top'

[niyad]

22. quite frankly, at the rate the apricot asshole is going, I am not sure we will last until

valentine's day.

but damn sure this old crone is not going down without a fight.

[BigDemVoter]

13. Amen to that.

I've already told my friends in deep red states that if they want to see me, they'll have to come here, as I refuse to spend a dime in their states.

[Glimmer of Hope]

31. I just moved from D.C. to California and think this is the place to be for awhile.

[LonePirate]

3. Brown could solicit donations from the other 49 states and easily fund a satellite.

Millions of Americans will support him in this endeavor.

[yeoman6987]

4. Although nice thought, it would take billions

And states budgets are bad now, just wait. I see big deductions in federal spending to all states very soon.

[Dream Girl]

6. I didn't think they were that expensive. Lots of corporate entities seem to have launched them

[yeoman6987]

10. That's good to hear. I hope California can do this then.

The reason I mentioned a deduction of funding is because trump said no money for sanctuary cities. Not sure if that will be legal but he could use another name to make it happen I suppose. San Francisco is staying a sanctuary city and basically told trump to F off. Love that cities are fighting back.

[Silver Gaia]

16. We are strong and resourceful, and Jerry tends to do what he says he will.

If he says we can and will do this, then we can and will. I believe him He's tough, too. He won't back down or let himself be bullied. That's why we love him. California is a great place to be right now because of Jerry and other California Democrats.

[azureblue]

23. I hope Trump tries this

because CA is the 6th largest economy in the world, and the state supports a lot of Red states already. All Jerry will have to do is to say, "fine, we will stop giving you money, and that will give us plenty of money to improve our state."

What Repubs fail to understand is that the West Coast and New York State pretty much keep America going. If CA, WA, OR, NY all decide to stop supporting Repub states, the US would collapse. IOW Repubs need Democratic state money to keep their scams going.

[lark]

7. Yep, if drumpf can't make money from something or reap more power, it won't happen.

Personal profit and power is the only thing in the world that orange assface cares about.

[LonePirate]

12. It wouldn't take many billions to build it and use a private agency or the ESA to launch it.

Even so, private citizens and science/research organizations will gladly pony up as much as they can for this. I think you may be underestimating the response of the scientific community and average Americans if he shuts down federally funded/sponsored/oversight of climate science.

[still_one]

9. Maybe we can utilize Elon Musk's spaceX to launch the satellite

[jimlup]

8. Wish I was still in California!

Go Jerry Go!

[still_one]

11. We all in this together, and we have to unite if for nothing else than to oppose trump's

draconian backward policies

[Moostache]

15. I am moving to California as soon as they secede from what once the USA.

I fully expect that the entire West Coast from San Diego to Seattle will break away from the failed state that will result from Trump and his gang of neophyte morons. This is disastrous on every conceivable front and in every manner imaginable.

At the exact moment in history when strong, rational, articulate leadership is needed, we instead have a blowhard, ideologue fool ready to take the wheel. Excuse me for wanting to get out of the car BEFORE it speeds over the cliff...

[rzemanfl]

26. You might want to get there a few days before so as not to be a "defector." n/t

[California_Republic]

17. That's my home! n/t

[colorado_ufo]

18. Turn off the satellites or repurpose them?

We are dangerously close to losing our country.

[randr]

20. More power to Gov. Brown and the People of Ca

This, however, is feeding into a very dangerous narrative that we need to be aware of.
The fracturing of our great Union into smaller States where small minorities of people can dictate the rights and freedoms of their neighbors. It is only our Federal system of governing that keeps all the children playing respectfully together.
My guess is that Trump and his minions will be perfectly happy to tell Gov. Brown to go right ahead, one less expense for the rest of us.

[dae]

21. The absolute ignorance of this fool (Trump), AND the lapdogs which he

surrounds himself, knows no bounds!

[wryter2000]

24. I love my governor n/t

N/t

[denbot]

25. We are one of the world's aerospace centers.

The development of craft such as the shuttle, stealth tech, top tier spy satellites, have been, and will continue to be developed here in Cali. We got this if need be!

[rzemanfl]

27. Will you have a foreign legion? Will it take someone pushing seventy? n/t

[denbot]

28. Dude,

Californian's have long been considered as "foreign" by most of the other states, so yeah, I guess so. My suggestion is to pretend to like tofu, and I'm sure you'll "blend".

[rzemanfl]

30. When you secede I will be a tofu-eating Foreign Legionaire refugee from Florida in

Lower Trumpist Dumbfuckistan.
