Nah, it’s more basic that that. Trump and his kids were caught by NY with their hand in the charitable cookie jar. NY made Trump personally pay those funds back, although to different charities for things Trump opposes (because the one he stole from is no longer a valid charity in NY).

So, New York sends their tax money to the US government, but then doesn’t get the benefits of that tax money when President Petty Panties decides to fuck them over for purely personal reasons?

*cough* *cough* 383 wants to pretend/ignore that other states aren’t doing exactly the same thing with similar laws and not experiencing federal reprisals *cough* *cough* delusional Republican *cough* *cough*

Well, they're probably pretty loud at the rallies

This. I can remember how many times I read some fuckwit say that about Obama in a forum. Said fuckwits are probably silent now.

Gotta get back at his home state, city and district that didn’t vote for him in 2016.

Right wingers are masters of projection. They stamped their feet about that because they knew whatever guy from their team got in power would do it.

As clear as black and white?

This isn’t Federalism, it’s an immature vindictive lying president.

They're technically rat rapers. Rats are too good to concent to relations with current Republicans.

Please point out the federal law that compels states to collect information for federal agencies.

You mean like the states that are trying to pass school sponsored prayer? That was banned by federal law.

they’re all furiously scrambling to rewrite their dictionaries.

Ok — I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt you are not just trolling and give you a completely apolitical explanation:

Ah, federalism at its best, amirite? Where are all my constitutional conservative friends now? 

it improves public safety and revenue for the state. Tell me why the state shouldn’t be concerned with those things?

Because the State of New York decided to issue their documents as they see fit.

I remember when Tea Party people were saying that Obama wanted to be king and that they’d die before letting anyone in the White House do that.

States rights are so important to republicans - LOL.  What a bunch of rat f*ckers.

It’s only going to get worse. Now emboldened, the pettiest administration in American history will start ramping up their retaliatory efforts against blue states.
