The Department of Justice escalated its threats to cut federal funding to major US cities by designating New York City, Seattle, and Portland as jurisdictions that permit anarchy and violence on Monday.

The department said the cities have "permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities," according to a statement Monday.

The move is in response to a memo from President Donald Trump earlier this month instructing Attorney General William Barr and Department of Homeland Security acting secretary Chad Wolf to find ways to slash billions of federal dollars directed to the three cities.

Well, they have. Which is why business owners are literally suing Seattle. And that's just one instance of this. I could go on, but there is no need. There are countless examples of this.

Totally not an attempt to externalize blame for protests Trump doesnt like.
Like, imagine if Hillary Clinton on Earth-2 rescinded federal funds from municipalities over anti-mask protests.

Of course, the bigger issue is federal funds going to municipalities.

Your average Blue State basically bankrolls the Red States. NYS is a big contributor.

Anyway, gotta post this here.

Those 'stong red states' are basically grifters.
Most would be even more shit backwaters without blue state money.

And mostly go to factory farms.
Meanwhile, Family Farms are being soldout to 'developers' to make 'developments'
And now the food chain stretches 1000's of miles away.
