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 state’s 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 York’s 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 king’s values and abuse, let us announce New York’s rebellion from the current federal policies,” he said.

That’s true. All Democrats want the ‘little people’ to be THEIR slaves.......................
And a noxious, venomous one, at that!
Quoting Merriam Webster:
noxious = “physically harmful or destructive to living beings;”
venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger”
asshole: = “a bad, stupid, or annoying person”
Cuomo (AND, there are other Demonrats who fall into the same category!) most certainly qualifies!
BTW, “harridan” is the female equivalent.
Once again we turn to Mirriam Webster:
harridan = an “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”
Demonrat Party is loaded with many of those noxious, venomous harridans, as well!
I have assembled a long list of Demonrat harridans and assholes. Don’t bother with RINO ones, because the Demonrats are a target rich environment.
Besides, I don’t have time to mess with RINOs - they’ll keep, for the moment, while POTUS deals with them.
I presume, then, that the USA can liberate itself FRom the billions in federal aid that is sent to New York?
Turnabout IS fair play, is it not?
The “state’s values” are those of Tammany Hall.
“The table below notes what share of New York’s general revenues came from the federal government in 2014. That year, New York received approximately $48.2 billion in federal aid,...”
In 2002, gross federal tax collections from New York state were $202 billion.
I don’t know how much came back into the state through programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc., but there are two sides to the ledger. Quoting the amount of money the state government gets from the federal government is only part of the story.
That year, New York received approximately $48.2 billion in federal aid, 32.8 percent of the state’s general revenues. ............................................. I see 9 Walls, we could cover some of the coasts.
And we taxpayers want all our money refunded retroactively for the years this fool has been in office. He wants independence? Great idea, as long as it’s NYC and not the whole state. We. Don’t. Want. Them.
Oh come on now. We all know what that means!
We are two nations on one continent. The USA and NWO America, with about 8 percent up for grabs.
The South tried that back in 1861 and the north wouldn't let us. Cuomo should get a history lesson.
Today, I don't know many (if any!) who would fight to keep new yawk
I want my $12,000 back I had to pay for my Obamacare fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine/tax/fine...........................
and the people living in the State have no say ,can you say Dictator
Sounds like sedition to me.
He’ll be here all week...try the veal.
“We all know that King Cuomo will never declare independence from Federal money coming into his state.”
If “independence” from the Federal Government is what he wants, I say give it to him, but with the understanding that the money flow from the Federal coffers stops completely. Maybe he can form the Confederacy of New England and spare the rest of us supporting the Marxist Governments of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Toad Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Might want to throw in Pennsylvania for good measure. Good riddance to all of it. It has been the “seed” of the Marxist “thought” in the United States for the past 100 years or more. Whatever patriotism existed there during the Revolution, is long gone! America is financing Coumo’s “goals” by giving his state, and probably the others as well, more Federal money than they contribute. They should be re-named the Socialist Beggar States because they are allowed to operate by the use of money contributed by the rest of us. The same is probably true for The Left Coast States as well.
Federal marshals should arrest Cuomo the demented chit stain.
No, PA is red enough to stay.
"So we must negate 250 years of history, subvert the Constitution, and upend legal precedent to preserve it. Then we must have sex with young girls to preserve their virginity," he added.
“Let’s see how long your kingdom lasts once they find out the idiocy of your boastful self serving rant”
Cuomo’s idiocy only surpassed by his voting subjects.
“No, PA is red enough to stay.”
Maybe if it leaves Philly behind. It’s your basic Leftist $hit hole city with its 110% “voter turnout” and all the rest of the RAT criminal activity.
