The very wealthy will be able to rebuild but not the others unless FEMA and insurance companies help. We, in Northern CA, have sent our fire crews to SoCal and guess what country sent theirs? CANADA!

Well hey, if Canada becomes the 51st state trump can just ORDER them to send water and help, as opposed to relying on things like compassion and good will and human decency.

No, no, no. We're dropping the US down to 47 states. WA, OR, and CA will be joining Canada as the province of Cascadia.

YES. But not the far eastern white-supremacist parts of WA and OR, they can stay with their brethren in Idaho.

Hey, I'm over here. I say take all of Washington, and let those gun-totin' woman-hatin' MAGA scum scuttle over the border east to Idaho, where they belong.

Doesn't the Columbia River run through that area? The salmon need that river. If they stop the river flow, what will you do?

I do hope that Canada picks up Maine as well - we're cheek-by-jowl and share the same fishing waters of the Atlantic... I'd be very happy to be Canadian!

Ellen, what about sawing the eastern part of each state? We'll need to root out maga. Now, all the red state Dems want into 'S 51st Province: Getting rid of Eastern areas of 3 states + rooted down maga should get us enough space.

Teri, this is a big problem. A lot of our water comes from the mountains, much of which (Butte County comes to mind) is Republican. I'm playing with the idea of paying them to leave, so they can set up comfortably in, oh, Kansas, wherever. If they want to work with us and not be hostile, I'm happy to have them stay. But if we have to live with this MAGA stuff, I just don't think I can be friendly. But the east bay gets its water from the Sierras and we pipe it across the valley. Once the climate crisis really gets going, the situation may change a lot. Someone just said the sun was red in Pacific Palisades. I still remember the day in September when Santa Rosa burned and the next morning the sun here was bright orange.

If you shouted that out on the Streets of Seattle, the Ayes would raise the skies!

Susan I don't see trying to take over anywhere anytime soon. Our military, MG, CG take oath to the Constitution.

🤞🤞🤞 Though I do worry about the setting up of paramilitary forces in some way. Maybe subverting some red state National Guards? Or covert funding of opponents of the Panamanian Government to take over and then "cede" the Canal to the US? Never forget the Contras.

It's important to take some solace in how utterly stupid and incompetent they ALL are. Idiots surrounded by morons, all of them with zero idea how anything works.

I doubt Trump would be able to pull off any of the crap he's proposing. NATO would shut his ass down in a flash. Thank god for them because the Democrats got us into this mess and are fucking useless.

Because Canada is a civilized country, unlike our own.

Bravo to our friends & cherished neighbors in Canada. Wait, has Joe quietly made CA a province? It only makes sense to do WA & OR too! 🇨🇦🇨🇦 jk

CA, Oregon, Washington, NY, Ill, & Mass, possibly VA & VT are forming a united coalition. Well, at least in my mind, they are.
