Should a city be punished for selecting a mayor the president does not like?

Did you not understand my post?

The post I replied to was about elections having consequences. They do. That’s why the US is declining in its world status as well as in its democratic principles at home.

Now, about your Mamdami tears. We’ll see whether that election has positive or negative consequences for NYC.
My comment that tariffs are working is a direct rebuttal do your assertion that America is declining.

it was only declining from globalist stupidity.

and that has been remedied.

all I need is a remedy.

They won’t.

How do you know they won't, Brad?

The democratic principles this country was built on are being destroyed little by little by this administration.

Just as the fascists did 100 years ago when they legally came into power, Trump is attacking individuals, institutions and organizations he deems the enemy.

Blue cities and blue states
The press
Universities
Science
Individuals
Selective and vindictive prosecution
Concocting “emergencies” to mobilize his military

The list goes on.

The clown’s approval rating is below 40%. Our closest allies laugh at the buffoon. He stands idle when federal workers are on the job, not getting paid, while others are simply furloughed. He tried desperately to avoid paying interim SNAP until the courts stepped in. And yet, he is so fucking proud of his fucking ballroom.

Nero fiddled…..

The IRS tracks interstate migration by comparing year-to-year addresses on individual tax returns, including breakdowns by AGI level.

IRS SOI migration reports (available directly at irs.gov/statistics/soi-tax-stats-migration-data) provide robust, year-over-year evidence of the described trend, including high-earner flight and billions in annual taxable income shifting to Florida and Texas.

The pattern is sustained, not isolated.

Among filers with $200,000+ AGI (a common proxy for high earners), New York consistently ranks among the top losers, while Florida and Texas are top gainers. For example:
  • In migration flows for tax years 2021–2022, high-income filers ($200,000+ AGI) most often left New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, with top destinations being Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arizona.
  • This pattern holds across recent datasets: New York lost tens of thousands of affluent filers annually (e.g., net loss of over 31,000 high-earning filers in one 2020–2021 analysis), while Florida gained around 27,500 and Texas around 9,000.
  • On net AGI losses (a direct measure of taxable income migration), New York has experienced multibillion-dollar annual outflows for years, accelerating during/after the pandemic. Examples include -$14.1 billion (2021–2022 flows), -$24.5 billion (2021), and -$19.5 billion (2020). Much of this flows to Florida (e.g., nearly a third of Florida's AGI gains come from New York) and Texas.



 
I’m no fan of pure socialism, but I have no problem with a city whose people want to inject more socialism into their local government choosing to do so.
It shouldn't be, but Mamdani will punish it far more than anything Trump could do.

On the other hand, if Mamdani willfully elects to ignore and fight federal law, then yes, he and the city he runs should be punished for that act.

POTUS isn't running for office in 2028, AFAIK. Is there any reason to surmise that he GAF about opinion polls? Summarily dismissed.

Our closest allies laugh at the buffoon.

Yet another opinion unsubstantiated by any evidence. Complainant lacks standing to speak for others not here present or correctly cited.

Summarily dismissed.

Elections have consequences.
Yes they do.

So does that mean, even if you disagree with a future Dem potus positions if they declare a 'national gun emergency', saying it is the gun trade that is not just killing citizens but being used to as the main currency to pay foreign gangs for the drugs coming in to america, and that Potus then sent the military into Red States only to confiscate guns and war with anyone who fought back, that you would support that as ok to do.

I am not asking if you agree with the Potus choice, but if you say 'hey i disagree, but elections have consequences so he has a right to do this'??
 
So no. That is regulation. In Texas they do not. We deregulated the electric companies years ago. Brad you are very confused.

AI Overview



No, government regulation of electric companies is not socialism; it is a form of
economic regulation, while socialism typically involves government or social ownership of the means of production. Regulation is a system to oversee private companies to ensure fair practices and prevent monopolies, whereas socialism is an economic system where the government owns or controls major industries.
Awesome so price limits for grocery items, not socialism!
 
So you don't want government owned grocery stores. You are aware that with government regulated electricity the companies are guaranteed a certain profit.
A profit is a good thing, but they are never going to make a killing, or lose money, the government sets a range.
