Hilarious watching these idiots call literally everything they don't like "communism".
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.
Yeah but there is no quid pro quo with Mamdani. As far as I know...
I wanna see Mam win!!
He won
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.
Does the cityhave the right to seize property or is that the state that would have that authority? I suspect it's at the state level.
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.
China and Cuba, that's the only places they ever mention if they do.
Iran/DPRK
No way, he'd way over estimate
Sweden The UK Venezuela Colombia New Zealand France Etc
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.
Well, It did hit Scott Adams, so that's something.

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 😏
sounds like a communist slogan
I've always been amused by the fact that "gung ho" (which in Mandarin means "pull together", as in pulling on a rope in unison) started out as a slogan of the Chinese Communist Party under Mao and then migrated to the US during WWII because of an openly-communist Marine. Its real meaning is more like "be a team player" but it was somehow transformed into "eagerly shoot brown people".
Also, the Marines' "ooh rah" chant sounds exactly like the Soviet Red Army's chant. More weird shit.
“gung ho” (which in Mandarin means “pull together”, as in pulling on a rope in unison)
I'm a native Mandarin speaker and I'm so confused what ur talking about lolz.
You mean like 共和? "together in unison/harmony" aka: "republicanism"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gung_ho
The wikipedia article doesn't mention the "pull together" (as in rope pulling) interpretation. That was from a book about Mao that I read a long time ago, I can't remember what it was. The book had a bit about Evans Carlson traveling with Mao's army and meeting him. I am certainly not a Chinese speaker so I'm happy to have my inaccuracies corrected.
Sounds like a borrowed term from a random word converted into English. I wasn't aware there were any nationwide propaganda slogan related to it, looks like just some random slogan from a state-owned organization.
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 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.
Florida and Texas are the two notable red states that aren't mostly empty.
T*xas very much does too, despite how much they like to act big and bad and independent.
I man they do generate a lot more money than most red states. Being able to admit that doesn't detract anything from the overall point.

There is still a system in place where states contribute their federal taxes before that revenue is used for whatever we have budgeted. A state doesn't take "their share" first, and states depend on federal funding for a lot of projects and services.
That said, a state with large surpluses can probably write policies to use their state taxes to pay for federal programs that people want to keep, but that's a snarled-up and anti-american system, the taxes are supposed to be used for the people, not be used like a cudgel to enforce political partisanship. There would be a lot of courts who would challenge this, which still might go in Trump's favor because of his corruption of the judicial branch, but that's a LOT of work and expense for something that isn't going to actually get the administration anything but ire from the citizens of one of the ~~country's~~ world's largest, most prominent cities.
Largely, this is as usual, a massive pile of bullshit meant to fit into a right-wing news site's headline ticker, because people largely don't read stories, they just read headlines and don't question it. This kind of rhetoric has always been about making his most powerful asset, his ludicrously stupid and armed and fanatical base feel like he's still big strong daddy choking everyone.

lol NY doesn’t need “his” funds. Trump needs NY funds though.
I really can’t think of higher praise.
