On second thought, may everyone will start just using “Comrade” for everything!

New York City. An embarrassment to the rest of the country.
Capital of the northeastern communist block USA and home of
quite possibly the stupidest people in the world.

If it weren’t for the great and almighty God Trump the
place would be worthless.

I demand to be referred to by the title, “I owe you $10,000 Mr.”. At least on any legal documents.

Really mess them up; have someone fluent in KlingOn, demand the KlingOn way of being addressed.

I guess freedom of speech and religion don’t apply in NYC.

With all due respect, I fail to see where Trump has represented himself as God or a god, or where anyone has attempted to portray him as such. A leader, now...

From the NYC Comm. on Human Rights site:

When an employer or covered entity permits a reasonable accommodation for a cisgender woman seeking reconstructive breast surgery deemed medically necessary but refuses that same accommodation when requested by a transgender woman undergoing the same medically necessary surgery.

I've just been classified as a cisgender by NYC human rights commission? I call that preferred self-image description discrimination. Who do I sue?
