Dead Rabbits Rise!
The 19th century Irish street gang in NYC?
Baby dick is just keeping magat attention on Mamdani so the senate can fuck over Medicare and social security while they’re distracted
Art of the deal.
Fart and a Squeal
As a New Yorker I would like to see that orange fascist try. I can almost guarantee that if Zohran organizes a workers militia today itll have tens of thousands of volunteers tomorrow. I myself would happily throw arms with federal pigs.
Is this how a civil war starts?
It start when terrible people in power have decent support for part of population and the other part fight for freedom by any mean
I guess so.
Very much so.
This is how the American empire falls
I read that as feral pigs but still made complete sense.
Hmmm... maybe time for the left to appropriate the 30 to 50 feral hogs meme.
You don't mess with the Zohran.
Came here for this and I wasn't let down, you punny quipper you.
😀
Oh yeah go to war with New York and Cali, see how that goes for you.
Hi, Clevelander here. I have no horse in this race, but thanks for making Mamdani go from being completely unheard of from me, to now a household name due to the Streisand effect.
Thanks for letting me know who I'm voting for in 2028.
Globalize mamdanism
Fox News ironically being the source to learn about your new social democrats
He can't run, he's naturalised. Bullshit rule.
Eh, it's not the worst rule.
He can totally run against Trump for his third term. If Orange Chicken tries that, there are no rules anymore anyhow.
If trump remains in office beyond his second term it'll be in the absence of elections
Supreme Court’s got baby don’s flaccid chode down their throats, so no rules for him but others unfortunately…
From what I heard from someone's testimony, it can't reach the throat.
The oligarchy’s cries are the kind of endorsement that money can’t buy.
These people can't stop advertising Zohran.
I know, stop selling past the close.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
*spreads attention to this matter*
lol more like NYC stop funding the federal government. They give more than receive.
I agree with the sentiment, but it's individuals and businesses paying the federal taxes in NYC. You'd have to somehow get them all to agree to put their personal freedoms at risk by not paying their federal taxes
Donald Trump knows he faces no personal risk by withholding funding, because the SCOTUS has declared him immune. He can break any law with impunity
Trump can suck a dick. Lousy bastard has got megalomania so bad it would be a worldwide disservice to allow him to continue
This republic has really gone bananas.
So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I'd bet they pay more than they get.
The problem is that federal income taxes are generally paid directly by employers to the federal government. It's not clear by what mechanism states and/or cities might withhold them.
It's true that the State of New York, and NYC are both large employers, so hypothetically I guess they could refuse to collect income taxes from their employees on behalf of the federal government, but certainly the IRS would still hold the individual taxpayers responsible for those taxes at the end of the year.
If it gets to the point where the States are withholding money from the federal government, I'd wager it's because they no longer view the federal government as legitimate. I guess, good luck to the IRS trying to collect?
What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets? We've already seen ICE doing it without badges, uniforms, or warrants
This is the problem with a dictatorship. They have too much power. They can do whatever they want
What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets
I thought they fired all of them?

So election interference? Can the court rule if the president has that power too?
You’re going to drive yourself crazy with those questions. Just accept that this piece of shit, under qualified administration will be doing illegal shit and being shameless hypocrites multiple times on a daily basis and start finding ways to resist, no matter how big or small.
