ny should withold federal income taxes from DC. NY and most blue states are net tax givers to the fed govt meaning they put in more than they get back in services.

Not if they're sitting there with their hands out begging for money to rebuild after the riots they refused to do anything about, and they are.

It's simple: you don't need to be a Republican, you just need your mayors to do their job and let the police protect people's fundamental human rights.

I know human rights are anathema to the democrats right now, but I really suggest when you lose by a landslide in 2020 you guys consider coming back to the light.

thats not it this says trump orders to begin defunding them, more bluster since he can't since they don't get funding they give to feds.

I do agree trumo wins landslide but because biden is too conservative and kamala is even worse, dems are losing on purpose because the rich just want tax cuts.

He's the head of the executive. Who do you think executes the laws that congress passes, including administration of programs that provide funding?

Biden can't be president because he's not a leader, and he's spent the past 9 months showing that.

Executive is unconstitutional... thanks Hamilton (Levine).

Agreed Biden is no good and will lose. But you must admit all Trump does is talk and never puts anything into action.

I do agree, but I also think that's by design. The moment he steps in and plays the authoritarian, they win despite the facts. This is the closest he can get, an executive order equivalent of "Stop hitting yourself, you fool"

eventually no more talking and get to work. truth is he is an establishment puppet and meant to keep the status quo going.

I'm willing to accept that nobody running for either major party will ever step too far from their backers.

The primary job of most politicians is to man the phones and get donations to keep the machine running, after all.

Expecting your big or local government to suddenly be ethical and do the right thing is like expecting them to turn loose all the non-violent drug "offenders". It's not gonna happen.

It's only if they are on the right. /s
