He also reminded us that California has the 5th largest economy in the world. We're 'loaning' ventilators both to the Feds and individual States. -- nm - Meg Apr 10, 11:39 1
- CA also has the largest stockpile. Trump is the worst president at the worst time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 10, 11:45
At some point, do they call out the national guard to protect their supplies from being seized by the feds? -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 10, 11:26 4
- The feds can't seize state assets. -- nm - loosilu Apr 10, 11:46 2
  - Trying to figure out where these stories are coming from, then... - znufrii Apr 10, 11:56 1
    - I have this little thing called Article II that lets me do whatever I want. -- nm - Trump Apr 10, 12:00

Looks like CA votes will not count in November, then. -- nm - POTUS Apr 10, 11:23
I would ask us all to be extremely cautious in presenting news like this. It's an opinion piece parsing language, not a declaration of independence. -- nm - David Apr 10, 11:23 6

  - Yup -- nm - con_carne Apr 10, 11:47
  - Yeah, I have to remind myself that "country" = "state". -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 11:35
- It is true because I read it someplace. -- nm - POTUS Apr 10, 11:24 2
  - As if you read -- nm - TWuG Apr 10, 11:26 1
    - I have people that do that for me. -- nm - POTUS Apr 10, 11:29
