What a cool idea.....isolate the leftist whackjobs! I think this approach could also work for SF, Seattle, Portland, and other blue state strongholds!

[DainBramage]

Better yet, become your own little filthy third world country.

[kittymyrib]

Oh please, please, please do this NYC! And then the 50 states could vote on whether or not we would accept you as a state. Our problems with that infestation of blue cockroaches could be solved with that vote.

It will never happen NYC would be bankrupt within a couple of years or less if left to stand on it`s own.
The libs from downstate would realize that would split the presidential electoral vote as well thus hurting the dems.

[Thane_Banquo]

Transparant attempt by liberals to gain two more Democratic Senators.

[ZOOKER]

Mr. Snake Plissken, please pick up the white courtesy phone...

[X_CDN_EH]

Hmmm... D.C. is not going to like this.

[bill1952]

Well gee, why don't they solve the healthcare problems by outlawing death?

There is no legal method to secede.

[goldstategop]

These people are dreaming... the aim is to create Blue City State Senators. They think the GOP will commit hara-kiri by going along with this scheme of theirs. HAHAHAHAHA

[KidGlock]

STATEHOOD FOR DETROIT!!!!!!

And Michigan will even throw in Flint to sweeten the deal!

[Tom Bombadil]

I say make NYC It's own Nation, then surround it with barbed wire and CBP checkpoints.

Picking the new ambassador would be fun.

[Buck W.]

Which way would LI go?

[jmaroneps37]

This is another desperate rat bull shiite idea to get two more rat senators in for life. Sorry gang it ain't happening unless you want to divide Utah Alabama and South Carolina :-)

[gridlock]

NY/Long Island would make a good state. They would keep their two Donk Senators, and there would be two new Republican Senators from Upstate. Of course, that would mean that Hillary! would have to move from Chappaqua to Massapequa, so I guess the whole deal is off. Nothing that would inconvenience Hillary! is desirable or permitted.

[Rodney King]

They need to become a US Territory, but not a state.

[rottweiller_inc]

Well on the plus side in order to enter the Union they'd have to agree to abide by the constitution.

[mewzilla]

A bill that would create a commission to study whether the city should secede from New York state will get another hearing soon — after sitting in the City Council for nearly two years...

MAKE MY MILLENIUM!!!

[Gritty]

NYC doesn't don't realise what a wacky idea this is.

How could they continue to rape and pillage the upstate if they no longer control the state government?

[You Dirty Rats]

No.

[newzjunkey]

Let's ditch L.A. next!
