Yep no illegals, homeless, welfare in any other state except CA 
Given that CA is the 5th biggest economy in the world… your state would be sold to Russians before mine would 
Yeah I guess they could unload it in Florida or Texas though the Panama Canal to ship crap to flyover real America. If you jettison California. I would imagine prices would go up in flyover America.

Yeah. That’s something to consider all right.
Hmmmm….
Let them have California.
We could easily cede most of flyover America back to the native Americans.

We could do it, but I really wouldn’t want to live on a trickle of Panamax-sized ships, or depend on trucks crawling up I-95 or US-27 in central florida.
That’s assuming the actual ports don’t choke under a volume they were never designed to handle.
With everything in such short, slow supply, Rural customers would be strangled. Walmart would be the only store without empty spaces.
Well, that’s one Russian parliament member. Are there two?

Cool. I’ll live with them and Warren.
My state of Indiana is full of 2nd amendment loving, communist hating Americans who would resist Russia like Ukraine is. California is full of 2nd amendment hating, communist loving Californians who would welcome a government like Russia has. Russia can have California AND we’ll agree to bus or fly all illegals there too after they take possession. Win-Win for everyone!

. Win-Win for everyone!
Except for the United States.
There is a reason for the union.
States cannot withdraw from the union nor can they be sold off or let go.
I are stuck with Indiana as you are with New Jersey.
Wishful thinking excepted.

The criminal gangs in California could be oligarchs under a Russian style governance.
Why would they even want it?

I was born in New Jersey and we lived there until I was about 7. Still have relatives there.
I doubt we would have another civil war if California decided to go. Just imagine the Utopia they could create if they weren’t bound by the constitution!

They pretty much are now since California hardly arrests anyone anymore, and the ones that actually do get arrested get released without bail.

Everybody who was born in California, would cease to be natural born citizen (VP Harris for example)
Just a bad idea.

No more Californians in the White House?? I’m good with that. On the other hand, California could elect its own president and they could have Kamala all to themselves! Again, a win-win scenario.

No more Nixon or Reagan.
Say it ain’t so.
Allan
They’ve already served and died. Too late to exclude them, but I’d forego the notion of a future Nixon or Reagan being disqualified if future Kamalas were also disqualified. But since we were talking about California going to Russia instead of Alaska, it’s a moot point.

Didn’t Russia have claim to the Pacific coast from Alaska to the Russian River in California? (Hence the name.)
Maybe they want all of it back.
