A lot of the NE still uses fuel oil for heating.
It would be a real shame if that supply of fuel oil were cut off.
You could switch to natural gas, but you banned fracking and natural gas pipelines.
It is, DemocRATS.
His earlier letter demanding a bribe to defer his wrath was returned postage due and missed the “political bribery department” inbox.
It’s not a crime, anymore than if a conservative governor cut ties with a bank over some liberal decision. And just like he can cut ties with a bank, congress can cut money to sanctuary cities.
This is extortion. Do what I want or else.
Communist Blackmailer.
In the 1930s, Nazis painted yellow stars on windows of merchants they boycotted. Now for all practical purposes, the modern Nazis are painting yellow Ts on the businesses they demand do it their way or cease operations. No difference whatsoever.
Ever since the mayor removed the soda machines at the Wells Fargo building lunch rooms the rank and file there have been uppity.
