California makes all the food this country eats and all the clothes this country wears in addition to paying more federal taxes than anyone else. Want to cut us off? OK. Good luck with the tariffs and trying to get cheap produce and goods from Mexico and Canada without us!

You fucking MAGA morons actually think you’ll have a spot at the top of Mt. Fascist? Your usefulness has expired, you rabid dumbfucks. You put him back in office. He’s done with you now. Keep that in mind when you’re scrubbing the shit splatters off of some oligarch’s bidet. 👍🏻
