Funny, if I stole 80 million from the city's bank account, I'm pretty sure they'd do more than just sue me.

If the blue states don't seriously start talking among themselves about denying federal authority it won't be last thing they take.

I sincerely hope that there is discussion of withholding funding from the gov. Just cut them off from everything and handle things in state.

He's not even an elected official. How is this not out right thievery?

Even if an elected official transfers money without authorization, that's still outright theft.

Because committing felonies is a positive to republicans as long as the left is upset.

Hes an elected billionaire. What are you or anybody else going to do about it?
