  1. Most of that’s _our_ money to begin with, you fascist pricks. Maybe going forward, we should just keep it for ourselves.

  3. And Republicans clap because they get to own the libs. Their hospitals will shut down. Their farmers will sell their land their family has held for generations. The ranchers will go bust. But it will all be worth it because Maryland won’t get any federal help and will be owned.

  4. Americans: If you voted for anyone other than Kamala Harris last year, you have zero right to complain. This monster was voted in by you.

  5. Withholding our own tax dollars from us, to deny aid – is waging Civil War against us.

  6. Where the both sides crowd at? Both sides us this one, idiots.

  7. its almost like a unitary executive presidency is inherently prone to corruption, and such duties should be properly delegated to the executive branch bureaucracy instead

  8. LITERALLY, TAXATION…
    WITHOUT REPRESENTATION…
    If the founders could see this, or our grandparents… HLY FCK 😭 it’s a nightmare .

  9. He did the same shit his first term, he literally thinks anyone who didn’t vote for him deserves nothing even though the majority of taxes come from blue states

  11. The independents in ’24 were like dads lost behind the wheel refusing the advice of the woman holding the map.

  12. Blue states and cities provide the majority of funds the government uses to provide services and aid to the American people.

    To deny those resources when disaster strikes isn’t just petty, it is criminal. It will potentially create a band of individuals who have nothing to loose and an anger that won’t be satiated as long as those who created them are in power.

  13. And this is why I have no problem committing tax fraud 😂 And with the IRS being cut I have no worries with ever getting audited. Ever.

    I’m a full time gig worker. I already pay no taxes, upfront. I might even get a refund next year while maxing out my ROTH with “no tax on tips” lmfao. Tips are literally like 30% or more of my income.

    This year I paid a whole $150 on $50k.

    Next year I should get a refund, at worst.

  15. We’re inching closer and closer to the balkanization of the U.S. at this point. Like, what’s the actual endgame here? Every state, region, and ideology is pulling in completely different directions , we can’t keep calling it a “union” when half the country wants to secede in spirit if not in law

  18. I’m sure all the republicans in blue states are super happy with their vote

  19. Blue states should not send any taxes to the federal government

  20. Being President of the USA. Yet another concept beyond his room temperature IQ.

  21. It is a civil war… as much as no one is accepting it. He comes out and says that every single day.

  22. Who’s still trying to deny he’s a fascist? Because fascists only reward loyalists, presidents are supposed to protect everyone.

  23. There were literally *hundreds* of casualties in western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. The WNC environment and economy were fucked up beyond all recognition. The region still has not recovered.

    Trump has not done anything to help the state solely because our governors are Democrats. Full stop.

  24. Blue states need to start withholding taxes to the US government. If you’re not going to recognize us, we aren’t going to recognize you.

  25. So…. Something happens to the blue states. They don’t get federal support – as should be given as part of humanitarian efforts – and the blue states fail. Yay! The right wins!! Woot woot! ( /s )

    Where do the red states get their aid money from after that??

  27. Every fucking day i have to convince myself that he’s only doing this to try and provoke a response severe enough to give his reason to invoke the insurrection act… every fucking day it gets harder and harder

  28. And yet Biden made sure he focused his infrastructure bill on red states cause they need it the most. These states need all the help they can get. They thrive on other states tax dollars.

  29. We need blue states to create some sort of federal tax escrow account.

  30. Stop buying things from companies that have their corporate offices in Texas or Florida

  33. Fuck these Red States…STARVE THEM.

    (I know I’m a GA Native, but I live in Washington and been a citizen of Cascadia since 2018. I never wanna go back to the South.)

  35. Lets remember Republicans tried this during Sandy. They didn’t want New York to get aid

  37. > “Trump seems to see Democratic-led states — and the people in them — less as constituents to which he has a set of larger obligations and more as enemies to be pacified and defeated… For Trump, there is no whole people of the United States. There are only his people and his states.”

    Derelict in his duty as president of *all* states in the *United States of America.* If we had a congress that wasn’t full of spineless sycophants, this alone would be an impeachable offense.
