NY Governor Tells Trump To F*ck Off, Re-Opens Statue Of Liberty Despite Shutdown
By John Prager on January 22, 2018 5:00 am ·


New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday that Trump and Republicans can go f*ck themselves and that despite the shutdown, the Statue of Liberty will be open.

“New York State will reopen the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island,” Cuomo announced via Twitter. “We will not stand by as this symbol of freedom and opportunity goes dark.”

“Shutting down the park jeopardizes an economic driver for the State of New York,” Cuomo said, adding that the “park is a symbol of New York and our values.”




“Her message has never been as important as it is today,” Cuomo concluded — a reference to Trump’s effort to prevent people from “shithole countries” (anywhere with a lot of darker-skinned people) from entering the United States while demanding more immigrants from white-majority countries like “Norway.”

The Pukes have been a corrupt, craven party for years and now they feel free to go after Democratic throats full-force thanks to that miserable orange bloated piece of shit.

Budgets should be assigned on a state level to counteract everything Orange Julius Caesar and his sycophants attempt.

After all isn't that what Cheeto wants to do with everything the U.S. Government owns now?

Let the state of New York take over and do a way better job of managing it.
