We will see, I talk to a friend in my Congregation who lives in West Philly, and he says that more and more Blacks are supporting PT. You ARE absolutely right about the corruption.

Good, no more money. And don’t call when a disaster strikes.

Cuomo and New York have no values and no patriotism!

Yep. Impound not only that, but refuse to seat the entire New York delegation in the new session of congress.

The “state’s values” are those of Tammany Hall.

Except that George Washington Plunkett was careful to distinguish between honest graft and dishonest graft. Plunkett shunned dishonest graft.

Today's counterparts make no such distinction.

Nationalize New York (and California)

Cut off NYC from the state and nationalize the city as a separate territory.

Arrest and immediately exile the governor and others as necessary to a distant location with no communications or access to lawyers. the establishment of a Democrat island will allow them to kill each other as they fight over power and control.

If there is no American law, then there is no American law.

To be safe, we should probably throw in Delaware and Maryland as well. May as well let the Mavens of Washington DC live in a foreign country that is more to their liking as well.

Fine. No federal money to NY. Now, if only CA would do the same.

It was an eye-opener for me!

More posturing by New York libs. Scapegoating the big bad Republican. Nothing new:

Infamous ‘Drop Dead’ Was Never Said by Ford

https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/28/nyregion/28veto.html

Mr. Ford never explicitly said “drop dead.” Yet those two words, arguably the essence of his remarks as encapsulated in the immortal headline, would, as he later acknowledged, cost him the presidency the following year, after Jimmy Carter, nominated by the Democrats in New York, narrowly carried the state.

“It more than annoyed me because it wasn’t accurate,” he recalled years later. “It was very unfair.”

That view is echoed in an evolving version of historical revisionism. Only two months after saying or meaning or merely implying “drop dead” — or, perhaps, resorting to tough love by holding the city’s feet to the fire — Mr. Ford signed legislation to provide federal loans to the city, which were repaid with interest.

Gov. Hugh L. Carey, among others, argues that Mr. Ford’s public recalcitrance bought time for the city to make its case to an even more reluctant Congress. (“He told me he didn’t have the votes,” Mr. Carey recalled Mr. Ford saying.

The Governor, as you suggest, has it completely backwards. The Trump Administration has been reducing centralized interference with local traditions & personal freedom. One doubts that he has even read the long bill of particulars:

Stop all federal funds to New York. Put tarrifs on all interstate trade with them. Stop accepting their voter rights. Kick out all their congressmen and Senators. Place toll booths on all roads in or out.

So does my hubby who was forced to use it for a couple years — especially the ob-gyn fees. Boy, did that ever frost his ass!

Appears as he is looking for a way to roll withheld federal income tax dollars from NY citizens into his state coffers. I doubt with the vast number of welfare staters in NY that they would look kindly on NY making it where they get no IRS refunds from the EIC golden goose.
