After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.
What does he imagine that means? He's going to impose a tariff on individuals based on their assessed value? Or is he planning on selling them into slavery? I know that in Republican-fascism, especially at its looniest words have no meaning (they don't to the Roberts Court so why should they to anyone else?) but, other than being unconstitutional (again that no longer matters under Roberts) I'd like someone to press the vile little creature on what it means. I can sympathize to an extent, having lived under LePage and Mackernan before him, possibly the two worst governors in Maine's history.
