Entire country is held at gunpoint to the head by a POS turtle-faced Senator from a shithole state

with 1/7th the population of California.

I hope to God that when Dems are back in control of all branches of government, we punish the ever living fuck out of these shithole states.

I agree with them that they deserve representation. But we've given them everything and they have given us nothing but shitty politicians, even shittier policies, steered us toward dictatorship, and given the coasts back nothing but hatred. We definitely need to give them some tough love, like putting your dog's nose in it after they urinate on your floor.

It's not a "shithole", either.

The OP is experiencing some frustration, I believe.

is something republicans do on a regular basis. It is arrogant and ignorant. There are many fine Democrats in whatever "shithole" states you plan to punish.

Considering my moniker you can see it is a little close to home. I'll just remind you a blue state gave us Donald Trump...

by limiting the SALT deduction the Repukes have altered the tax and revenue sharing compact between the states.
I think it is time for high SALT states to react accordingly and champion transfer payment equalization. Given the violation of said compact, it is definitely time for a clawback of money by states like NY and CA.
Gov Cuomo of NY said he will fight against the unfairness of the SALT deduction limitation. I stand with Gov Cuomo on this issue.
