His new home state! FL will go for the President next year. It bucked the 2018 Blue Wave and went almost all-GOP.

Isn’t that what most New Yorkers do at some point? Been going on since I was a kid.

Such “concern” from the NYT over carpetbagging was not observed when a certain Cankles became a NY senator from Illinois or Arkansas, or wherever she hung her broom before.

Good now he can move his residency, papers and business affairs outside the clutches of NYC’s Stalinist political courts.

When the moron officials voted in by the moronic electorate decide to ban fois gras, you know it’s time to get out. Like hire Snake Pliskin yesterday time to get out.

NYS has lost almost half its House seats over the last 60 years. Looks like we’re going to lose 1 or 2 more this time. Trump’s had a lot of company.

Good. Time to leave all mafia/marxist controlled states,if possible and move to a free one. But we have to fight to keep our state free, of progressives, Marxists, Soros red KAPOS, stupidest and liberals.

New York hates him, the New York Times writes lies about him. The average New Yorker hates him, gee, can’t figure out why he would take his massive tax base to Florida

why doesn’t she do a follow up on all the other wealthy, elites that now call Florida home? And all the other northerners that are moving down there, turning the place into the same liberal sh*thole they left behind? Guess that would kind of destroy her narrative.
