SACRAMENTO, California — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday suggested California consider withholding tens of billions in annual federal tax dollars amid reports Donald Trump is preparing funding cuts targeting the state.

Newsom’s suggestion came after CNN reported the president was considering a “full termination” of federal grant funding for California’s universities.

It's about damn time!

Now conservative states can do the same ,especially when dims take over the Swamp once again.

Take power from the Federal government and give it to the states where it belongs.

Of course, only democrats are allowed to do this sort of thing without being called insurrectionist confederate Nazis from hell, so I will take what I can get.

The thing is, Trump wouldn't care. Running on an even bigger deficit wouldn't bother him.

No, the thing is its a stupid and unworkable idea that only libs could take seriously

I think pretty much any President in power would tend to go into Lincoln mode and do whatever it takes to exert their power like Lincoln did.

Human nature is far too powerful and predictable.

INSURRECTION!

Since Dims want this, maybe the liberal courts will back them.

Newsom is a disgusting, snake oil salesman who is positioning himself for a run at President. He is largely the reason California has net negative population growth.

Let the Dims have more rope to hang themselves with for the great divorce against the Leviathan Swamp when the Nazi Dims take back over

States need to rise up and start saying NO! on a great many things.

Newsom is talking crap.

The only federal income tax money he can withhold are those paid by the state government. Those from private entities are paid directly to the IRS.

California's state payroll is only about $30 billion/year, so they don't pay 10's of billions.

And IRS can simply come in an levy California's assets if they refuse to pay their share.

INSURRECTION!

To be sure. Newsom and other democrats are literally conspiring against the USA.

Obviously.


The problem with democrats is they want all of these powers to do whatever the hell they want regarding anything and everything they desire; however, they never consider setting such precedents could then later be used against them in the future for other things, precedents that they have established because they are all half retarded and power hungry.

We need to cash in on their retardation. If we do, we will be rich beyond our wildest dreams!!!

If you support Trump, you oppose America.

Newsom forgets his state is beholden to the mercy of the Federal government. Not the other way around. All it takes is the stroke of a pen to bring them to their knees.

 

[Missourian]

Please set that precedent.

And Libs? Please defend it.

I'll set up a new bookmark folder just for this subject.

No, we just oppose idiots like you, old man.

Another cuckoo statement from the racist village idiot IM2.

And never forget there is no cuckoo without a cuck.

Inflation down.
Murder down
Secure border
Job creation smashing estimates.
Trade deals being negotiated to stop the decades of the US getting screwed.
No more weaponization of the DOJ
Gang members being deported.


Give me more of this so-called “destruction”.
