The difficulty with taxing rich people is that they can easily change their tax residency to just outside NYC where plenty of counties will give them a big break on income taxes.

Mamdani's proposal is to raise taxes on any company doing business in NYC. They wouldn't be able to just change residency, they'd have to stop doing business in New York entirely.

If Cuomo runs independent, the democratic party loses any hope of keeping their progressive base and it might actually split entirely.

After bullying their base for the last 10 years to get in line behind their shit moderate candidates, if they were to suddenly decide that primaries don't mean anything then they'd never be able to convince progressives to vote against their interests again.

Cuomo is backed by the democratic establishment and the DNC's donor class. It doesnt matter if he's independent, he's the establishment pick and would be running with their funding.

"Vote blue no matter who"

Mamdani wins historic primary victory

".....shit"

Not that I'm aware of, no

Would have been expedient doing that back in February when polls were showing him at 1% and nobody knew who he was

Say whatever you want about him, that man has the best comedic timing

Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map

I see two outcomes:

• Congress introduces articles
• Impeached, but fails ratification in senate

or

• Congress introduces articles
• Some terrible tragedy befalls us or Israel
• Articles fail and congress backs the war full-throated

There is no version of this that ends in removal, and even impeachment wouldn't be anything more than performative outrage.

The majority of sitting representatives have been waiting for an acceptable excuse to bomb Iran for decades. The only objection any of them have is doing so without manufacturing consent from voters first, but we've already seen how this plays out with Afghanistan. They'll drum up dubious evidence of WMD's and launch their entry, and then spend 20 years trying to 'get out' while securing Iran's material resources on the way.

The only difference this time is that Iran has almost 5x the population and 100x the GDP of Afghanistan in 2001, plus an actual organized military base with proper advanced weapons manufacturing. There's a reason we've waited this long to actually do this, and it isn't because we were busy doing other things. It's because this isn't a war we can win without pulling everyone else into it (or at the very least without isolating them from global trading partners).

It's not a morbid joke to call this a WWIII softlaunch.

Once you've finished this project, you're only a hop and skip away from this 3D printed Machining Mill. He uses the 3d printed pieces as a mold for reinforced concrete, so that it's heavy enough to resist the vibrations so that you can mill solid metal stock.

The single most impressive 3D printed DIY tool i've ever seen.

Just cut that gangrenous appendage of a state off from the handle and send it into the fucking sea

If nothing else our HepC and illiteracy rates would be improved

Seriously though, bombing Iran has been a multi-generaltional bi-partisan wet dream since the bombs stopped dropping in WWII. Nobody is impeaching him for this - like two weeks ago Schumer was goading him for 'being weak' for negotiating with 'the terrorist nation of Iran'. There might be 5 people in total in congress who oppose a war with Iran.

Here maybe this will help:
