If the fed money stays in Cali, it will be much easier to deal with fires ourselves. Or the entire west coast for that matter.

Fire doesn't care about borders. We all benefit from good fire control.

sounds like a perfect opportunity to stop sending federal tax dollars to Washington.

sorry, this is our money. you didn't request it soon enough and failed to use the ID10-t form. besides, we need this money because you failed to complete our request on time.

I'd love to see it.

I support Newsom directing all state and municipal agencies to withhold federal taxes.

So we should pay for it ourselves and deduct it from how much we give the feds next year, if anything.

Set Mike Johnson on fire. It won't help California, but it might feel better for a few minutes and the next speaker will think hard about denying the funds.

I don't particularly like him either, and it's collective punishment and wrong.

It's aid for Californians, including Republicans, not for Newsom, assholes!

I am looking forward to returning the favor Republicans.

Just break up the Union at that point.

Or start shooting traitors. Either one.

That "Civil War" film had to start somewhere.

You'd think they would at least offer some beautiful rakes.

What do we pay federal taxes for?

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago
