Ya done!
The White House is investigating the possibility of defunding four riot-rocked, Democrat-held cities. All are liberal bastions that have seen a surge in crime since the summer of unrest began. All have leaders who remain content to placate criminals while condemning President Trump in the harshest possible terms.
There’s no love lost from Trump either. In a five-page memo, the commander-in-chief wrote, “My administration will not allow federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones.”
Here are the cities the Trump administration has ordered federal agencies to report to the White House Office of Management and Budget areas where existing federal funding can be redirected.
Seattle

They soon established a no cop co-op in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) compared the violence in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone to Woodstock. Meanwhile, Seattle’s Police Chief Carmen Best, an African American, has announced her resignation following the city council’s decision to put her in an unwinnable position against Seattle’s criminal element.
Portland

The radicals know they have nothing to fear from Wheeler. He didn’t even have the intestinal fortitude to respond after they ransacked his luxury condo building.
Three months’ worth of riots has left Portland in disarray and with mounting casualties, including Trump supporter Aaron “Jay” Danielson.
New York City

Washington, D.C.

Instead, the mayor has begun reviewing a proposal from an ad hoc task force that evaluated “troublesome” buildings and statues.

Do it! Do it while you can because this could be our last chance before we become the U.S.S.R.
Defund all Blue cities IF warranted.
Not New Jersey. We still respect our cops here, there have been no riots here, and any protests HAVE been quiet and peaceful. There;’s a reason you don;t see US on the news!
He could do that because Obama did not consider breaking the law when he decided to bring 1000’s of illegal immigrants to this country!
read the constitution and you will see how many time he committed treason!
Also the people who hold offices are suppose to keep the peace and protect their constituents!
the illegal from Kenya needs to be in jail
Don’t forget the ones from Somalia
Protests? Against what? Floyd James was a criminal who fought police. This last guy Blake, refused to obey orders, was wanted for a warrant for sexual abuse. The guy in Georgia grabbed the officers taser and pointed it at him. Freddie Gray basically killled himself, throwing himself around the back of a paddy wagon after major back surgery. HE WANTED TO ACCUSE THE OFFICES OF ABUSE AND SUE THEM.
And now talk about all the blacks in Chicage and in Mesquite Texas that kill other blacks. And the millios of black babies killed by PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
This is NUTS.
Now you brag about Jersey. Tell me how many WHITE people have been killed in your state by blacks.
George’s last nàme was Floyd. You pointed out something that very important. That resisting arrest always results in a negative outcome.
FORTUNATELY HE CAN’T DO THAT. Cities and states contribute to te IRS, it must return return the designated amount that the House has called for.
You are an idiot Russian. There is no provision that funds must be returned to the states. For years, the Democrats controlled and tied money to the states obeying Federal rules written by bureaucrats. NOTHING ABOUT ANY LAW AT ALL.
Go back to Rusia. Ortake a course from Hillsdale College about the Constitution and what our government was founded on.
EVERY TIMEyou open your mouth, you show how stupid you really are.
Wrong, once the IRS has that money, whoever can kiss it goodbye. It’s been that way for almost a century. Sanctuary cities, goodbye. Well, they pay no taxes anyway.
But he can they’re not using it for protection or to help it’s citizens with law and order and are supporting the thugs cresting chaos.
PRESIDENT TRUMP needs to just go through with it. That would be the best thing to happen to these
DERANGED AND DEPLORABLE GOVERNOR ‘S and MAYOR ‘S.
How many times did a president in the past simply refuse to obey an order from a federal court???? Lincoln did that with the SCOTUS. Zachary Taylor did it with the SCOTUS. His exact words were, “let the courrts enforce their order.” Then he force the Indians to move to Oklahoma.
The absolute best thing for the Governors and Mayors is for them to be arrested and face a 5-20 year sentence for a federal felony.
defund them and see how fast it gets straitened out.
Vote Democrat for no police, higher crime, higher taxes, abortion, murder, crooked politicians, poverty and more. Otherwise, Vote Republican.
For us to take back our nation, we are going to have to have a REVOLUTION that will remove radical judges from the federal benches. Until such time as judges suffer for giving rulings that takeaway the CONSTITUTIONAL rights of a president like Trump, we will continue to fight against a REAL COUP by the communist/socialists who are now the Democrat party.
Folks, we had one other chance. II Chronicles 7:14.
Now it is too late.
Hope Trump does defund New York Cuomo and DeBlasio both deserve it for not doing their jobs. Both are nothing but unqualified losers who never accept responsibility for their decisions. Cuomo should be arrested for murdering the elderly and be sentenced to life.
I agree, but he won’t be.
How about a lot less “considering” and a whole bunch more real meaningful action. Mr President, get off the pot. Get this done ASAP.
Defund Califonia as well as any city that ignores our laws! Especially the cities that told law enforcement to stand down and let these so peaceful protestors burn down building etc. I DON’T WANT A DAMN PENNY OF MY TAX DOLLARS GOING TO THESE CITIES OR STATES.
Those cities where dems have shown they can’t run the places peacefully of course defund. There isn’t even a question. If there was it would be where do the still good people go?
All Democrapic ruined Cities should be defunded and those in power who are letting the COWARDLY THUGS and TERRORISTS riot should be made to pay for the Damages they let happen.
just show our president only cares for his base. Republicans live in democrat majority cities too. This is not an effort to bring America together. No more divisiveness.
emmett frisbee, This President has been doing the best he can for this country with no help from 99% of the democrats . He has donated his pay to charity, and let others decide which charity(ies) it goes to. Does that sound like someone who is only interested in his own base? I pray we have 4 more years of his presidency. He is not a politician,but a businessman and he is running our country as a business. Which is about time. Of course republicans live in democrat run states, same thing for democrats are in republican run states.
Do it!!!
Àctually Portland Mayor Wheeler did respond. His response was to decide to move. He apologized to his neighbors for what happened to his condo and told them he is moving out.
