Based on the Pam Bondi hearing today it sounds like Tom Homan kept the $50,000.

When Democrats regain control we must demand the enforce law.

No more gestures of goodwill.

No more gestures of trying to be bipartisan and getting along.

We are dealing with criminal felons here.

Just trying to keep it real.

If I were a California legislator and came up with the idea on how to do it I would present it.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 5h

I like that idea.
Just no way to do it.
Payroll is complex.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

But then again these type of social media discussion boards don't lend themselves to truth as much as they do to heat.

When I say state I mean the state government.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

I'm going to say it again and it doesn't mean that I don't want it to happen.

Logistically it's impossible for the state of California to withhold federal taxes from the federal government and that includes state employees.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

Regardless of the legality, logistically it's impossible.

The idiot should have testified on the Ukrainian bribery scam.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

I have people jumping my shit from our side because I'm pointing out that California, or any other state, logistically, does not have a way to withhold federal income taxes from the federal government.

Not even from state employees.

The vitriol I'm receiving is ignorant and juvenile.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

Then go ahead and tell us logistically how the state can do this.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

It's got nothing to do with my ideology it's got everything to do with the logistics of withholding federal taxes by a state.

That was the topic and you've taken it elsewhere.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 7h

People who think that states can withhold federal taxes are ignorant AF.

Jake Tapper doesn't understand because he's a f****** idiot.

He's obviously delaying the vote for the Epstein files.

The opposite of antifa is pro-fascist.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 8h

Sorry you can't handle the truth?

I'm in favor of withholding but there isn't a way to do it logistically.

No need for name calling.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 8h

And it pays more than it takes in, unlike many states.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Making health insurance unaffordable risks all of our health.

Way more difficult to stop contagious diseases when people don't go to the doctor.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 9h

I'm not saying I wouldn't like it to happen

I'm saying logistically it's impossible and that becomes clear when you go to any favorite AI prompt and inquire about it.

🎸 SHRED 🎸 @tshred.bsky.social · 9h

Go to any AI prompt and inquire if this is possible and you'll see the complications.
