LOLZ, liberals only cry states rights when they know they are wrong (most of the time) but when it comes to REAL states rights issues like Abortion or Gay Marriage or Health Insurance....oh hell no, that is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S JOB!!!!

No I just stated the facts that apparently you don't like.

Donald Trump was installed by the system.

He was NOT 'elected by the people' as you inaccurately put it.

This is precisely why California has such a strong mandate to act forcefully to protect our residents and defiantly defend our values.

Donald Trump otoh, has no such mandate. Whatsoever.
Trump was elected by the Constitutionally set process. Deal with reality. I didn't vote for him, but I certainly view him as the President-Elect and will wish for him the same thing I wished for Obama (whom I also did not vote for) and that is the wisdom and intelligence to lead our nation to prosperity and keep our nation safe. Obama blew it. Here's hoping Trump does a better job. Can't do worse, that's for sure!

Who said anything about being happy? Cut it with the bullcrap like you are unaware about what the issue is.

Secure the border-absolutely.

Remove all the dangerous felons-absolutely.

But as far as the others-N.O. spells no and the entire state government is prepared to fight Donald Trump on this.

He can certainly try.

But he will fail. Miserably.
That's your opinion. I stated a fact. California is not a very big deal.

Deporting all undocumented workers would be an economic nightmare costing the economy hundreds of billions of dollars.

Economic costs of deporting all undocumented immigrants - Business Insider

People in California to know this.

Let's start in Arizona and Texas and see how goes. Work out the details, before Trump and the Republicans crash the economy of every state.

Yes absolutely the system in place selected Donald Trump.

But that did NOT reflect the will of the American people.

Popular Vote 2016
Hillary Clinton 65,844,954
Donald Trump 62,979,879

And so he has no real mandate from which to push the most controversial aspects of his agenda. Absolutely none.

California on the other hand, indeed now has a mandate as the largest state in the union, to now take up the mantle of leadership in defending real American values since that will soon be totally void in our nation's capitol.

You need to track down more accurate sources of information.

Just saying'.
I'd like to see how many of those votes were legal.....after all, in Detroit some how she got more votes than people, how does that happen. Let me guess; dead people, dog, cats, fake people, etc....yeah! she won the popular vote.....

I'm always amazed at the idiots that love illegal aliens...what bozos. Illegal aliens are all law-breaking criminals, numbskulls, they are not immigrants.

If I was Trump I'd send in the FBI and military to cleanup CA. Shut it all down until you get the paperwork straitened out.

All we need is 20,000 illegal aliens to feed us. We don't need 800,000 illegal aliens to pick our food.
