doesn't NY already pay more than it's ever received? Guess it's time to reserve some for the home team

Yeah wtf. These are not just "funds". They are taxes. Payed by the people. The one who voted.
it's interesting to see how the lemmy users handle this communist lib vs trump being a friend of China and Russia alignment
Well first of all, Mamdani isn't communist. He's more in line with a democratic socialist.
Second, Russia isn't communist, they're fascist. China is very mich a capitalist country, which means they can not be communist. I don't know exactly what they are, but they're definately authoritarian, something Mamdani isn't at all.
Yes. There are parts of Lemmy declaring the likes of Mamdani as libs and fascist nations as the true communists
Well sure, but just as I don't take the political opinions of the drunk guy on the train seriously, I don't consider theirs of value.
Hilarious watching these idiots call literally everything they don't like "communism".
McCarthy never died. He just took a nap.
Communist, socialist, anarchist, antifa, woke, leftist. Which ones am I missing that ain’t slurs?
Radical!
It's their catch all term for any policy that helps average Americans. After all, licking billionaire's butts is just too irrestible for these class traitors.

Go ahead TACO.
This is impeachable ... par fot the course with Trump and MAGA. So sick of injustice.
how many times do you think any other president would have been successfully impeached for trump's roll of crime? 50? 100 times?
to me, the confidential docs debacle and j6 are the worst of the worst; the docs one stings especially because I know what it takes to obtain and maintain a security clearance and wonder how much he put at risk - both human assets and strategic plans - in his fucking bathroom - knowing that similar behavior in the military would get you a nice stretch at leavenworth federal correctional facility and you might see freedom in a few decades. maybe.
dems should enumerate the list and use it any time someone talks about presidential fitness. "Oh you're worried about a woman president, but this fuck did treason after treason and that's fine?"
For what the world understood you impeached a president because he lied about receiving head, I guess the two parties are indeed different.
Your move, orange boy.
The billionaires don’t want you to know this but you pay taxes to the states your business is located in. You don’t just “leave” because taxes. The businesses these billionaires own in New York are still subject to taxes.
What’s crazy is the right has “donated” more money to supporting cuomo than Mamdani would have even taxed them.
Businesses already set up headquarters in Delaware for tax reasons. They're not going to leave New York City, one of biggest markets on Earth. This argument from conservatives was always stupid.

I'm sure it's perfectly legal to interfere with a free and fair election.
what is anyone going to do about it? I think it's clear that dumpy is immune to laws.
Yeah, I guess that's how fascism happens.
Trump has a lot of property in New York.
Sure would be a shame if he finally saw some consequences and lost a few dozen of them.

I may be wrong, but isn't NYC more of a money generator than it's a receiver? If that's so, I don't see how NYC would suffer, but it would widen the divide between such areas and poor dotational ones, making their people possible maga recruits.
Most blue areas produce money, most red areas (excluding Texas I think) are leeches.

I'd love to see NYC set up a voluntary escrow account for federal taxes.
You don't have to pay shit till taxes are due, have NYC sit on their withholdings and trump won't be able to build any ballrooms.

Other states should protest by withholding taxes, as well. United, yes?

Idk man, I see a lot of red caps at a certain party's rallies
red = obvious communist symbolism
I think those caps even say "make america great again" which obviously sounds like a communist slogan
I'd say we arrest these filthy communists 😏

lol NY doesn’t need “his” funds. Trump needs NY funds though.
Whenever these fucks try and paint Americans as terrorists and threaten to cut off anything they create monsters they can't control. Anyone he attacks becomes wildly popular and almost assures them victory. Especially if he has his thugs come rough them up.
Fuck you cancer. You take far too many good people while skipping this piece of shit.

djt wouldn't be able to name the communist countries in the world to save his life. It is a very anti-American behavior to label half of Americans as enemies. The US totally includes an opposition party. Idiot still doesn't understand what a democracy is and how to stay in his lane.

I wanna see Mam win!!
He won
So that would mean that New York could stop paying federal taxes, no? I'm sure it contributes more than it receives
I always find it hilarious how red states and their leaders are all about cutting off funds to the blue states that fund their miserable existence. "We will secede from the US!" Ok Boomer, good luck with funding yourself as all of you are so mismanaged that you would fail to feed your own population within the year.
I really can’t think of higher praise.
How the fuck...
When the ever loving fuck are people going to wake up and remember their government/civics lessons??
