New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio blasted President Donald Trump on Wednesday for smearing states led by Democrats and painting federal COVID-19 assistance as a “bailout” for those states.
This whole “blue-state bailout” canard is going to be really interesting in a couple of months after all these freedumb red states start collapsing due to the pandemic. Of course, they’ll blame Noo York for everything…
Mr Mayor he was doing this when he first came into office,as a matter of fact he started his payback campaign with the SALT ACT.
Pandemic made it more painful.
“Is the reduction of the SALT deduction just a rich person problem? Yes and no. It’s probably more accurate to say it’s a rich-person-in-a-blue-state problem. Residents of high-tax California, D.C., Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey would be the filers most impacted. Further, you don’t have to be truly wealthy to be impacted by the SALT deduction cap. Middle class Americans who currently itemize, especially those who are homeowners paying substantial property taxes, may also face higher taxes.”
We are watching Donald Trump incinerating any possible future for the GOP, in real time, and with the Senate and red-state governors handing him the accelerant.
A shame a lot of poor folks in red states are going to have to die before the immolation is over.
His statement was clearly rhetorical. He meant in terms of how things should obviously be in any decent modern country, not in terms of how Trump operates.
I dunno. I think a lot of these cretins and troglodytes are going to drag themselves to the polls, hauling their IVs, their oxygen tanks and their ekg hookups behind them, bare asses open to the breeze through their flapping hospital gowns, so they can vote for Orange Hitler before the pneumonia takes them. They call that “Owning the Libs.”
It’s not ‘astounding’…it’s Trump and his belittling smearing little way hoping to piss them off. He doesn’t ‘think’ they can fight back…or sue he and his little vindicative, revenge-filled WH because he ‘owns’ the DOJ. He’s a horrible, rotten, no good SOB.
American filmmaker and author Eugene Jarecki on Wednesday launched an online “Trump Death Clock” to measure the cost in human lives of President Donald Trump and his administration’s “reckless handling” of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
