Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, in a fiery address on Monday, declared New York “independent” from the federal government.
Invoking the Revolutionary War, the third-term Democratic governor said the state must stand up to what he describes as “a federal assault” on the state’s values, while outlining his 20-point agenda for the coming legislative session.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this nation is in crisis. The social fabric is fraying and it is nearing its breaking point,” he said. “We must stand up to this tyranny once again. Not with muskets the way our founders did. But with our voices and our votes and with the power and example of our action here in New York.”
His agenda, which includes marijuana legalization, gun control measures, and environmental protections, is New York’s Declaration of Independence, Cuomo said.
“We disconnect from the nationalism, and the racism, and the chaos, and the xenophobia, and the misogyny, and the discrimination, and the dissembling of this Washington administration.
“As our forefathers rebelled against England resenting the king’s values and abuse, let us announce New York’s rebellion from the current federal policies,” he said.

One of the few things democrats are good at: massive resistance.
He’s seceding. Arrest him.
Great! Let Suffolk County, Long Island become a state unto itself, as well. We voted for Trump.
Seems to me Upstate New York should be severed from the disloyal Shi*state New York.
The mainstream media’s reaction to this vs. any red state saying the same thing during Obama’s reign will be noticeable.
So does that mean I don’t have to pay Federal taxes on my State pension? :-P
Well, it’s only fair that all federal funds be denied then.
Arrogant little beedy eyed bastard Cuomo talks like a little Mussolini. He’s a nobody who thinks he’s somebody. The amazing thing is when he was running no one knew who he was running against shows you the cancerous corrupt atmosphere the state is in. He is a little ugly boy in the sandbox with the big boy, spoon fed by his arrogant little bastard father
“We disconnect from the nationalism”
...disconnect from nationalism to what... globalism? NY to join the EU? the UN? Mexico? Will he draft NY teens to go to Syria?
* head explodes *
He must be running for something.. or from something. Probably his own ignorance. It’s a ‘NY state of mind’ thingy I reckun.
I think you may be on to something. Let them leave.
So now we can disregard any votes for anything coming from NYC?
So now we can disregard any votes for anything coming from NYC?
Can we put a tariff on anything produced from there?
So we now have a blue state talking about leaving the union.
So be it.
Sure. Then we will bait them to fire on a U.S. Military facility. Afterward, we will then have the full moral authority to burn them to the ground. (hmmmmm...this sounds vaguely familiar to something that happened before?)
I would bet a prime rib dinner that FEDERAL funds flowing INTO NY state are well over $5 Billion annually——and probably well over $25 Billion.
Soooo—Cuomo wants NY to be INDEPENDENT from the Federal Government-—
President Trump: Here is you reason to cut off & permanently STOP all Federal funds going to that state-—for any reason.
Ports
Schools
Highways
Military protection
Airports
Auto regulations
ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that the Federal Government pays to NY state can be cut off as of 1-1-2019.
Cuomo want the state to be independent-—let it be independent.
USE every penny of those monies to build the WALL at the southern border & indirectly protect people who live in NYC-—But just do it, please Pres. Trump.

ALSO-—NO student loans backed by the US government to any student in any NY State school.
How fast will Cuomo buckle?
Hopefully after Trump has used $25 BILLION to build the entire WALL.
Mexico will eventually pay for the WALL, but New York State will be making a huge down payment.
Fine, send them a bill for all federal disbursements to NY.”””
Stop those disbursement as of 1-1-2019 & use the money IMMEDIATELY for the WALL.
Looks like PLENTY of money to build the Wall, Mr Trump.
Please grab this opportunity.
After all, New York residents do benefit from fewer invaders.
Time also to kick the UN out of New York.
No- He dare not say that out loud-—
But I am hoping Trump says it out loud & uses that $$$$ for the WALL.
