What a terrible analogy. CA and NY are the Jags and Jets of the 2020 NFL.

Jags and Jets must fund the league like Cali and NY fund many of the deadbeat red states.

States do not fund the Federal government in any way.

People do.

Is being a journalist in today's world the least respected position?

This "story" contains not a single on record source, and not even an unnamed source of value. It's literally built on the say-so of junior staffer gossip and Feinstein deserves better. This kind of garbage has got to stop.

Whiteknighting for actual White Knights is not a good look.

They're run well enough for you to live in one and me to live in the other.

Right, the people in California and New York.

I give a flying F and a whole lot of sensible people do. Those that don't are displaying their ignorance.

Right, the people in California and New York.

If they're are ran so well why are California and New York and Chicago (another liberal haven) seeing so many people fleeing their states?

Could this be one of the reasons they're seeing people flee, because they're ran so well?

Some people just can't cut it in the real world.
No shame in knowing one's limitations.

Ok - but why? I don’t get why his adult child matters if he isn’t part of the campaign or planning to be a part of the administration? What sensible reason is there to care about him? I mean - who cares about Tiffany? How often did you see her out and about before this election? Social media has changed things a bit but I don’t get why I’m not sensible for not caring about Tiffany, Hunter or any other future presidents kid that isn’t involved in the administration. How does that make me ignorant?

[jdandns]

The people who care about that useless nonsense tend to be the same ones who don't care that 3,000+ Americans died today alone from coronavirus.
Go figure.

Second, don't act like the right gives 2 craps about black people. They will not even admit systemic racism exists. Theres a reason Republicans are 80% white, it's because the needs for non-whites are not a part of that platform. They dismiss every single gripe the black community has with race issues. "ALM" can bite me.

Leo Turrell went from Democrat to Republican because of the racism in todays Democratic party. Might want to change your name to DeadwrongTDS.

People are also leaving because of high taxes.....in part to fund dead beat states.

I am not accurate on the numbers but you’ll get the gist...for every $1.50 that NY gives the government, they get back a dollar. For every $.75 that Kentucky gives the government, they get $1.25 back. Can that be defined as.....socialism? Dun dun dunnnnnnn

Truth right here. Joe Biden’s inauguration will be awesome to watch.

What is going to happen in the next 40 or so days that is going to deliver the election to Trump? That Parler post by Don Jr. is kind of embarrassing. At least, very cringey.

While we talk about about the "Biden Crime Family"....

Roger Stone, Trump's longtime friend and adviser, was convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. A Washington jury in November 2019 convicted Stone on all seven criminal counts of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress, and tampering with a witness. The day before Stone was due to report to prison to begin serving a sentence of three years and four months, Trump commuted his sentence.

Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax fraud and bank fraud in a jury trial in August 2018. A month later, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to money laundering, lobbying violations and witness tampering. Prosecutors said he tried to conceal millions of dollars he was paid as a political consultant for pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians. He was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison and in May was released to finish his sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen is serving a three-year prison sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. He pleaded guilty in August 2018 to crimes including orchestrating 'hush money' payments before the 2016 election to women who had said they had sexual encounters with Trump. Cohen also pleaded guilty in November 2018 to lying to Congress about negotiations concerning a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow, a project that never materialized. He said Trump implicitly directed him to lie about the project.

The retired Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn served as Trump's national security adviser for less than a month in 2017. He pleaded guilty that year to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russia's ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump took office.

The former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulus was sentenced in September 2018 to 14 days in prison after pleading guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials and a Maltese professor who told him the Russians had "dirt" on Clinton.

The former deputy chairman of Trump's campaign Rick Gates pleaded guilty in February 2018 to conspiracy against the United States and lying to investigators. Gates agreed to cooperate with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller on the investigation into Russian interference and testified as a prosecution witness against Manafort, his former business partner, and Stone. Gates was sentenced in December 2019 to 45 days in jail.
