I’m going to make a very risky and bold prediction. I predict that if Mamdani wins, NY City will not turn into a communist municipality nor will Sharia law take place. Nor will there be a mass exodus of millions of wealthy people.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would “impose a 100 percent tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas. “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night. Abbott’s post came on the eve of New York City’s mayoral election, in which Democrat Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner. He is facing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—who is running as an independent after Mamdani emerged victorious in the Democratic primary in June—and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Why It Matters Tariffs are taxes on goods, not people, and U.S. states are not permitted to impose tariffs on imports from other states, let alone people. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has recognized that the constitutional right to travel includes the right to enter and leave another state freely and to become a permanent resident of another state. Abbott’s comment appears to tap into concerns that a wave of New Yorkers who don’t support Mamdani could flee to Texas if he is elected mayor. It also matches President Donald Trump’s rhetoric aimed at Mamdani.
OVER 50% of those on SNAP are MAGA moms whose get no support from MAGA fathers.
Of course, MAGAs love to show the vastly-red electoral maps of America. Trumpers, feel free to gaze upon those same maps to see ALL of the places where white trash Trump voters are losing their SNAP benefits.

Dirt doesn't vote. A lot of MAGAs live in the sticks. A lot of MAFA lawns are plain dirt. And when a car dies it is left to rust on their property, for decades.
“The only reason Trump left in January 2021 is because his coup attempt fell flat. Had it not failed, he certainly would have stood his ground. This time is different. Trump is much more powerful now. He has his lickspittles at Justice and the FBI, zealously indicting his political enemies. He owns the Supreme Court, which has granted him kingly powers, and routinely ignores judicial orders from circuit judges. He has bullied the legacy media into submission. He holds sway in the Senate, and his toady Mike Johnson has effectively dismantled the House. The military remains independent, but three years from now, he may well control the armed forces as well. So no, Donald Trump will never leave, and therefore, Donald Trump will have to be removed. Dictators don’t get impeached, any more than cancer does. Dictators don’t get voted out, any more than tumors do. Dictators must be toppled. Trump understands this, and is consolidating his power to prevent that from happening. If he succeeds in subverting the military, as he’s clearly trying to do, who will be left to serve the eviction notice, much less kick him out of the White House? DC Metro police? The Gambinos? Batman?”
Do you support or oppose full pardons for drug dealers?
Ross Ulbricht was targeted and the victim of incredible lawfare.
Ross Ulbricht (aka, Dread Pirate Roberts) is an American who created and operated the illegal darknet market Silk Road. Illegal because it was a tax avoidance scheme, money laundering, mostly sold illegal drugs, and other illicit.

Trump has a plan to flee the U.S. That might occur as early late 2026 when dems take over Congress and shut him down. He might leave earlier than that as his health is rapidly deteriorating.
Yes, selective/vindictive prosecution is very tough to show.
Comey's much better bet IMO is just a disqualification of the attorney who brought the indictment. She was, it appears, illegally appointed--and if she gets tossed, that's it: No other attorney signed the indictment, and no one can revive it because the SoL will have lapsed.
But the court may want this thing to be litigated, regardless, to establish a precedent--rather than dismissing on a sogenannte "technicality."

This is Biden level logic - just like how Bin-ance (spam filters) was targeted. So he didn't conduct a ton of verification (that he probably couldn't do anyway) on what people were using his platform for? Is that worth a double life sentence?

Only 28% of SNAP households had any earned income at all in 2023 Only 34% of SNAP households had children They aren't working, they aren't "struggling to feed their families" - they're just an urban vote bank
I'd really like to see the source for those stats. (The tweet itself does not count as a "source.")
Those stats might well be accurate!--if so, I'd like to have the backup. I haven't been able (so far) to find a source for them, but I haven't made a truly exhaustive search yet, either.

NY TIMES: Rural counties — which voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Trump — are likely to be disproportionately affected by any interruptions to SNAP. An August report from the Food Research & Action Center, a nonprofit that supports nutrition programs, noted that one in seven rural households relied on SNAP, compared with one in eight in metropolitan areas.

Pillars of the GOP:
1) Insult the intelligence of your supporters. Preferably daily, and REALLY obviously.
2) Debase YOURSELF as often as possible, crouching and opening your mouth wide.
