I hope they can but let’s face it…he’s skated on everything so far. I don’t have much faith in our judicial system anymore and that starts with our corrupt SCOTUS.
He just said something that gives me hope and its each day is closer to midterm election.and by then people.will see the.damage trump and his ugly band of thieves will have angered americans. He hasn't changed his spots from before he is.still the.same.ugly.person he was.before.
Okay! Okay! You wore me down! New paid subscriber here. This is just too good. You're doing a great job with your messaging, and I'm in!
One question: Trump will definitely cut off funding to the blue states, but it's the blue states that fund the country!
I specifically remember Gov. Cuomo putting Mitch McConnell in his place when McConnell told NY to just "go bankrupt" during covid, when Trump wouldn't give NY and NJ the PPE and respirators we desperately needed.
Cuomo reminded him that NY pays $39 billion MORE in federal tax than it ever gets back, while Kentucky TAKES $37 billion more than what it pays in!
I actually wrote those numbers down INSTANTLY that night so that I wouldn't forget them.
My question is... Is there such a thing as a tax strike? Why should a healthy blue state continue to pay into a federal system that is essentially exploiting us and even killing us by holding back what we need? Covid patients actually died because of that man.
It's the old "no taxation without representation." And the blue states will only prosper more in the coming years, as doctors and health care professionals move here so they can serve female patients without fear. Those wanting to build families will come here, too, as women and men will go to the states that will keep mom and baby healthy.
And with all these new arrivals comes an even larger tax base.
Knowing what's coming, we are actually going to NEED our federal tax dollars in order to care for the citizens of the state! It's insane to give it to the federal government and then have funding CUT.
Does the GOP actually expect me to fork over my taxes to them, while they do nothing when another Hurricane Sandy hits? Does the state have any power over what it pays to the feds?
We have some serious bargaining power here. I'm aware that the IRS could make one's life hell if I took a personal stand. But what about taking a stand as a state? I suppose he could roll in the military if he wanted, but that would make for a lot of very confused soldiers walking around. Any ideas?
California has the fourth largest economy in the world, not country, world. Newsom will gently remind Trump of this fact when T tries to punish the Blue! Don’t f..k with California! There’s going to be a very thorny learning curve for T and his Republican sycophants.
Imagine CA cutting off its federal tax dollars to DC. Washington would collapse. Trump and his cronies are so drunk with power and even drunker with ineptness on how to do their jobs. They would be clueless how to handle this.
The individual states might be our salvation. If we can somehow keep our money within our state borders, that means states like Kentucky would just collapse. Take that, shitheads.
Also of note is that the top five disability states are Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky. SS Disability down there is like the welfare they complain about for blacks (although that ended in 1996 under Clinton!) THEY are the ones dependent on the system now, for that and for their SNAP benefits.
You people wanted Trump? Choke on him. But I'll be damned if I send one fucking dollar to Washington. Why? To pay the massive unemployment of all the laid off civil service workers?
Thank you, Crissy! I've floated this idea before here and there, and while I get likes, no one addresses it. I suspect they don't have an answer. Surely, some legal brains could think out of the box on this, i would hope.
I'm not going to write to my reps. That does nothing. Maybe I'll schedule to meet with Corey Booker and my congressman. Maga thinks its hot shit with its guns. New Jersey (my state) is hot shit because of our dollars. We don't need bullets. We OWN you, Maga. Without my state and states like mine, you have NOTHING.
WE OWN YOU. Now how do we flex this power? As Crissy said, Meidas please answer!

NO FUCKING WAY.
Someone PLEASE reply to the above comment!?! Meidas? .. Popok? Someone with the knowledge of this? Thanx in advance 🙂

Fire Merrick Garland now. Put a real prosecutor in there .
This is so true! He cannot pardon himself from State level charges.
I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a "war" within the judicial branch.
😍 Letitia James, thank you.
..and Leticia James, please keep up the great work! We all need you!! 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙
I hope they do a better job with this case than they have many other cases like young thug!
I sure hope she nails his ass to the wall. I am so sick of him always coming out on top when he is the lowest of the low. Get him Tish!
You guys are a Godsend!! 💙🇺🇸
