Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, in a fiery address on Monday, declared New York independent from the federal government.
Invoking the Revolutionary War, the third-term Democratic governor said the state must stand up to what he describes as a federal assault on the states values, while outlining his 20-point agenda for the coming legislative session.
Ladies and gentlemen, this nation is in crisis. The social fabric is fraying and it is nearing its breaking point, he said. We must stand up to this tyranny once again. Not with muskets the way our founders did. But with our voices and our votes and with the power and example of our action here in New York.
His agenda, which includes marijuana legalization, gun control measures, and environmental protections, is New Yorks Declaration of Independence, Cuomo said.
We disconnect from the nationalism, and the racism, and the chaos, and the xenophobia, and the misogyny, and the discrimination, and the dissembling of this Washington administration.
As our forefathers rebelled against England resenting the kings values and abuse, let us announce New Yorks rebellion from the current federal policies, he said.

How much does NY send in vs. what they get back?
(This is actually a very tricky question, as some “benefits”, such as military protection, are hard to quantify.)
BTW, Post 46 answered my question to you, partially, but the value of what NY “gets back” in return for what its citizens and businesses “send in” to FedGov would probably take a very long book to answer, and conservative analysts would have a much different answer than libs, IMO. :-)
Should be hung upside down in a dungeon for his role in the housing bubble
Absolutely, and whatever federal monies would have gone to them can be used to build the wall. Win/win.
Little Antny has started his New Year’s drinking early, I see.
Like his counterparts in California, Oregon and Washington State, he’s batshit crazy and continues to prove it every day in every way.
Time for the Feds to reign in this little Mussolini before he invades Ethiopia or Canada. I understand that the Isle of Elba still has some jailbeds available for those suffering from “Little Napoleon Complexes” and Little Antny certain qualifies for that.
Hey, so that he won’t be lonely, we’ll send his “bro” Chris to bore him to death, and dig up his father, put him in the same jail cell, and put a sign around him that said “I could have been a contender”.
Does Albany have a good jail? With all the corrupt and crazy Cuomos, they’re gonna need many cells.
Take the Yankees with you.
Too bad the New Yawk Giants are in Jersey, or you could have them as well.
Of the stupid Cuomo boys, Andrew is the stupidest.
My MAGA suggestion:
Cede NYC and Philthadelphia (aka West Camden) to the People’s Democratic Republic of Nuevo Jersey. All three states would be greatly improved.
I can only reply:
Help Stop the Homo,
Vote Against Cuomo!
