When did the Chinese Communist Party take over New York ?

More NY values.

“New Yorkers who have an opinion about the proposal before it goes to assembly can give their ‘aye’ or ‘nay’ via a polling widget on the New York State Senate’s page for the bill.”

And have to give up all their personal info to do so...

Wonder what happens to the folks that vote Nay??

When DeBlasio and the other spinster Cuomo showed up

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

First guns, soda pop, now phones.

These are the New York(Nanny) Values Ted Cruz spoke of.

[Obadiah]

Ha, ha, my first thought.

[ilgipper]

In other news Apple and Google announce new superstores in New Jersey first exit off each bridge.

[CGASMIA68]

Darn spell check:
spinster = Sphincter

[Darksheare]

Yup.
But the whiners who seem to be having the vapors over he statement are amazing and amusing.

[prisoner6]

So don’t buy it in NY.

30-40 years. Maybe more (rent control since WW 2 fixed the price you can rent an apartment for). Worse now with 'Wilhelm' the Red Mayor.

Legislators often misjudge voters, leading to legal overreach.

One example was the Democratic Congress in 1994 passing the Assault Weapons ban...costing Democrats Congress that November.

Well, iPhones are more popular than firearms in NYC. Any politician going against Apple is just begging to lose her next election.

Making smartphones a campaign issue is dynamite. Even radical leftwing feminists would torch Planned Parenthood if PP caused smartphones to be banned in NYC.

Smartphones uber alles.

No issue rates higher for female voters than smartphones.

New York’s dictators just don’t like the first amendment or the second amendment or the fourth Amendment.

I’d like to see them try pushing a law like that.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Should help sales in NJ and MASS.

[Vaquero]

It’ll be like NYC cigarette prices. People buy them out of state or in Indian reservations on Long Island

[Buckeye McFrog]

When did the Chinese Communist Party take over New York ?

Sometime between Nelson Rockefeller and Mario the Pious.

[Vaquero]

NJ or CT. PA is closer than MA. And it’s a NYC Not NY State thing. And a quick trip to 2 adjoining counties and you’re golden.

[The Sons of Liberty]

And Cruz is taking flak about dissing New York???

[Nervous Tick]

>> More NY values.

[We’re gonna have some FUN with this NY Values thing, aren’t we? :-)]
