He's already doing this to states that didn't give him their votes. My city is rushing to complete road work projects en masse because funding is being cut.

No one's gonna stop'em. Just have to sit around waiting for it all to collapse in on itself.

America is trying to do international sanctioning against its own provinces.

It's funny liberals think the "rules" matter

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

Liberals think the law is a paranormal entity that exerts magical powers on the state

Its only dawning on them like when that the Epstein thing will come to nothing.

greatest autarky in da world bay-bee

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 38 points 2 months ago

It’s still an impeachable offense, but we have a government full of absolute cowards and sycophants who are as guilty as Individual 1. They refuse to do their job.

God his nickname game has dropped off. 2025 trump is a shadow of his former self, sad to see.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

Trump's decline in posting power is a clear sign of his declining health

[–] miz@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

The Apos Trophy was given to the millennial kid with the most Participation Trophies

Fucking threaten to seize his NYC properties and knock down every wall looking for hidden Epstein tapes. Bully that fucking coward right back lmao

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't this just fuck the federal government since like, what, California, NY and Texas are the only states paying into the federal government more than they take

[–] JohnBrownsBussy2@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Federal taxes (income, corporate, payroll, etc...) are levied directly on individuals & firms, so there's no mechanism for states to withhold funds.

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Salt deductions could right? Like if states and locals had to tax more than a standard deduction

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So like charge everyone a "fuck the feds" tax that equals their tax bill to the IRS, tell everyone to SALT deduct them, and then just refund them all the money from that tax?

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Actually I just looked it up it's capped at 40k and goes back to 10k in 2030. Before 2018 it was unlimited so a state could have theoretically done something like that, or used the tax money to fund socialized medicine, or 'nationalize' industry.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

They can withhold the funds from public employees’ paychecks though.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

What if they just... turn off the financial internet???

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure NY takes in less federal money than it sends out in taxes. NY could theoretically just cut the Federal government off in retaliation. Hocul and ny dems aren't cool enough for that of course

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

Someone else mentioned this, but IRS doesn't take money from states, it taxes individuals and corporations directly. There's really nothing the state can do to disrupt this outside of something outlandish like making a law that all CA businesses are obligated to defy federal tax law and stop all federal tax withholding. Which obviously would get slapped down legally

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

am i bad at reading or does trumps tweet not actually threaten to withhold funding

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 42 points 2 months ago

First of all, it's a TRUTH not a tweet.

Secondly he complains about good money after bad. Pretty clear allusion to me, but ymmv

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Congrats Zohran on getting a nickname though

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Objectively one of Trump’s least-inspired nicknames. Maybe he really did just have a stroke.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Scoreboard is scoreboard, welcome to the big leagues

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“Liddle’ Communist” ?! That’s all you got? Damn, my big wet boy has fallen off.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He should have called up Wisconcom to get some thermonuclear insults probably including "revisionist" to divide the leftists
