Newsom floats withholding federal taxes as Trump threatens California

[g5000]

So, he has to tell Congress about it? THat's fine.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Trump can't just say it and do it.

Congress has to approve any withholding of appropriated funds, which would be a phenomenally stupid precedent any moron knows would come back to bite their stupid asses in the long run.

Trump doesn't know that because he is the aforementioned moron, or he doesn't care about the consequences of what happens after he is gone.

As for Newsom, he knows all this. His performance is theater for the rubes who don't know he can't hold back federal taxes.

This is all one big beautiful ******* circus.

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

Still, it would be fun to see your party's golden boy order all employers in California to stop withholding federal income tax, then go to jail for it.

The federal government has used the threat of withholding federal funds forever as a weapon in support of policy on everything from seatbelts to civil rights for generations and this is the first time Ihave heard of this law.

So, I am dismissing it. Either it has never been enforced, or it is a rubber stamp.


Trump can and should cut off californian universities, if they refuse to comply with his demands.


And if Newsome holds back taxes, he should be arrested for treason.

California and all the blue states contribute more money to the federal government than they take.

This cannot be said of the red states.

Don't think it has anything to with population density?

You're the Newsome supporter.

 

[marvin martian]

You're the Newsome supporter.

I get that you're ashamed (I would be, too), but no one's going to buy that.

Good evening, and welcome to Masterpiece Theater. Tonight, we have a very special production from our Great Performances series.

I'm not giving you any money!

Oh, yeah? I'm not giving YOU any money!

 

[pknopp]

I get that you're ashamed (I would be, too), but no one's going to buy that.

When unable to address a point you mindlessly lash out.

If it makes you feel better...........

Why do you keep denying voting for Democrats, when we all know you do it?

It makes you look cowardly and stupid.

You vote for Democrats. Now stick to the subject.

I suspect trump will prove you wrong about thatk

I can't be blamed for your ignorance.

As for enforcement, Trump's violation of the ICA was a key element of his first impeachment.

I guess he's shooting for a third impeachment if the Dems take over the House in the next election.

Some presidents have threatened to withhold federal funds, but it's just theater. Trump actually thought he could blackmail Ukraine and violate the law.

Congress actually has succeeded in extorting states by threatening to withhold federal highway funds if they did not lower their maximum speed limits to 55 mph.

Nevada told the feds to **** off and did not lower their speed limit. They didn't need fed money.

Trump can and should cut off californian universities, if they refuse to comply with his demands.

Sieg Heil!

And if Newsome holds back taxes, he should be arrested for treason.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

When are you going to finally don your armband?

Newsom is putting on a performance just like Trump is. It's all Credulous Theater for you rubes on both ends of the spectrum.

 

[g5000]

His first impeachment proves me correct.

But hey, believe me or don't believe me. Read the law for yourself.

It's longer than a tweet, though, and has some big words in it.

The universities are a front in the culture war. YOur side made them political. iF they won't change, cut the money.

Newsome rebells, then hold him accountable by the law. To the letter of the law.

 

[g5000]

So?

So is Liberty University. We better take away their federal funding, mein Herr!

YOur side made them political. iF they won't change, cut the money.

I don't have a side. They both suck donkey balls.

And be real careful about setting benchmarks, moron. They inevitably come back to bite you.

I have a great deal of fun bringing Trump's old tweets back. And all you cult bitches can do is look away.

For example:

Newsome rebells, then hold him accountable by the law. To the letter of the law.

And what law would that be?

Speaking of benchmarks, Trump is trying to violate the Impoundment Control Act.

AGAIN!

I don't hear you hypocrites renting your clothes over it.

I'm not a lawyer, I don't know the exact law that newsome would be violating if he withheld the funds, but I know that it would be a formal rebellion against the government.

So, if he crosses that line, then respond accordingly.

It is not possible for Newsom to hold back federal taxes.

It is literally impossible.

He's putting on theater for the ignorant rubes.

Just like Trump is when he says he will hold back federal funds to CA. And we do know what law that would violate.

Anyway. See post 47.

Tax evasion is a federal crime defined under 26 U.S.C. § 7201, which outlines the penalties for anyone who willfully attempts to evade or defeat any tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It's a felony punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both.

I have no idea the full extent of his powers or his ability to abuse them. Technically, that makes me "ignorant". So sure, fine, whatever.

If he manages to do it, he should be held to full account.

I hope you are wrong and he cuts the money and the schools rot.
