I know, stop selling past the close.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
*spreads attention to this matter*
Hi, Clevelander here. I have no horse in this race, but thanks for making Mamdani go from being completely unheard of from me, to now a household name due to the Streisand effect.
Thanks for letting me know who I'm voting for in 2028.
He can't run, he's naturalised. Bullshit rule.
He can totally run against Trump for his third term. If Orange Chicken tries that, there are no rules anymore anyhow.
Supreme Court’s got baby don’s flaccid chode down their throats, so no rules for him but others unfortunately…

lol more like NYC stop funding the federal government. They give more than receive.
I agree with the sentiment, but it's individuals and businesses paying the federal taxes in NYC. You'd have to somehow get them all to agree to put their personal freedoms at risk by not paying their federal taxes
Donald Trump knows he faces no personal risk by withholding funding, because the SCOTUS has declared him immune. He can break any law with impunity

So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I'd bet they pay more than they get.
The problem is that federal income taxes are generally paid directly by employers to the federal government. It's not clear by what mechanism states and/or cities might withhold them.
It's true that the State of New York, and NYC are both large employers, so hypothetically I guess they could refuse to collect income taxes from their employees on behalf of the federal government, but certainly the IRS would still hold the individual taxpayers responsible for those taxes at the end of the year.
If it gets to the point where the States are withholding money from the federal government, I'd wager it's because they no longer view the federal government as legitimate. I guess, good luck to the IRS trying to collect?
What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets? We've already seen ICE doing it without badges, uniforms, or warrants
This is the problem with a dictatorship. They have too much power. They can do whatever they want

As a New Yorker I would like to see that orange fascist try. I can almost guarantee that if Zohran organizes a workers militia today itll have tens of thousands of volunteers tomorrow. I myself would happily throw arms with federal pigs.

Baby dick is just keeping magat attention on Mamdani so the senate can fuck over Medicare and social security while they’re distracted
Art of the deal.
Fart and a Squeal
B...but the Republicans PROMISED that they wouldn't touch medicare or social security.
Are you saying they lied?
Are you saying conservatives are liars?
You don't mess with the Zohran.
Came here for this and I wasn't let down, you punny quipper you.

Oh yeah go to war with New York and Cali, see how that goes for you.
New York should just become Southern Ontario
Sounds good to me!
NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!

NATO chief calls him daddy once and now he wants to be “fatherly”
Trump can suck a dick. Lousy bastard has got megalomania so bad it would be a worldwide disservice to allow him to continue
Orange scared.
That's called fascism.
Time for the wealthy blue states to break away.
You don't bite the hand that feeds.
Any state or local gov that is cut off from federal funds without a legal basis shouldn't have to pay federal taxes.

Insurrectionist traitors who should have been impeached, fired, and sent to federal prison don't get to tell anyone how to behave. New York pays more into federal taxes than it receives, if Trump wants to kill Blue State programs he's about to learn where the tax money comes from.
So election interference? Can the court rule if the president has that power too?

Trump is white supremacist extremist pornography in my opinion.
New York state should require anyone wanting to consume media of Trump online should have to give NY state two pieces of ID and wait for NY to verify them being ovr 21 or be blocked.
“He’s a radical left lunatic,” Trump said.
Says the radical fascist lunatic. Projection is omnipresent in this new Nazi Führer Cult party.
I recommend New York stop paying taxes to the federal government.
Cool, maybe we'll stop giving charity to all the red states then. NY can be self sufficient. Shit hole red states can't.
This republic has really gone bananas.
