#2 It was always going to end like this. You could see it ten years ago. Like this or with utter Democratic domination. This is better.

#3 Cuomo pushes back against DOJ investigation into nursing homes

You're half way in jail already, Andy.

#4 Sounds like a direct threat to the President. Time to have the FBI - yeah them - investigate Sonny and Comrade Wilhelm.

#5 Sounds like Cuomo needs strung up for inciting a revolution and threatening the president.

#6 These days anybody who sets foot in NYC had better have an army - and, actually, Trump does.

#7 Trump does have an army. It's called the Army.

#9 If I have one complaint, it's why the Feds didn't do this months ago, like right after the Minneapolis riot.

#10 This comes humming back at us if the Dems win in November ("Biden Withholds Funds From Racist States.") Of course, it might anyway. So let's win both the voting and the counting, and the recounting and the litigation, and the shooting.

#11 Trump should commit to sit down with New Yorkers and then do it in Florida where most are now living.

#14 The power of the executive branch to withhold grants, especially formula grants is pretty minimal.

also Airandee's idea is brilliant

#16 Which greatly increases the Dems' incentive to steal this election.

They will go all out in ways of which we can't even conceive.

As soon as Barr is done tuning his bagpipes, I'm sure he'll get right on it.

Tuning bagpipes isn't easy, you know.

At least we'll have our principles.

Just not our principal (or interest).

#17 The loss of federal money might discourage the left-wing mayors and governors from aiding and abetting these terrorists.

#18 Had a thought. What if the non-urban counties in Oregon called a convention citing the Declaration of Independence with the intent of applying for separation from Portland-Eugene? See - West Virginia.

#21 Lincoln carved West Virginia off by writ. But it's still a sound idea.

#22 Trump does have an army. It's called the Army.
He has a navy, air force, marines, and now space force too. he is, after all, commander in chief.
Maybe he should take a sizable force into NYC City hall and say "You called?". (Of coure he wouldn't abuse his office that way. I don't think...)

Can he rely on them?

Does he know who the trustworthy ones are?

Do he or his team know who the untrustworthy ones are?
