Trump told Cuomo to start Fracking - LOL
Start Fracking or people will keep packing.
That's EXACTLY what this commie needs to be told! Thank you, POTUS!!
LOL....I love my POTUS!!
They knew this was coming , why didn’t they fix state taxes before this became an issue ?
They have been, their fix is to raise taxes each and every year.

The safest place for a pro-infanticide Democrat to win is where the highest concentrations of Catholic vote; you can see it on any map.”
Demographic realities may wake up the truly independent voters one of these days.
Start Fracking or people will keep packing!
