Wow...

1. Oh, yea, outrageous. Global travel issue was in fact part of Cuomo meeting.

MF45's meeting with NY Gov. Cuomo recently was where MF45 plied his latest and greatest extortion scheme of quid-pro-quo.

MF45 was demanding NY (its AG) drop all lawsuits against the Trump Cartel organizations and members in exchange for allowing NYers to participate in said travel global programs.

7. That has got to be illegal. WTF

[Calista241]

11. Technically, Trump is saying NY isn't allowing Federal Law Enforcement agencies

Access to NY driving license records, and they’re not honoring retainers sent from ICE and CBP. This is the first step in an escalating series of ‘punishments’ New Yorkers will suffer for not complying with Trump administration priorities.

I imagine though, that if NY dropped all the lawsuits against Trump and the Trump Org, administration priorities would change.

2. Why can Trump get away with this?????

Singling out an entire very large state for retribution? Why doesn't someone stop him? Is there no court that will issue a stay?

8. This helps lock in NYS electoral votes...

...and any other state whose citizens believe they have rights.

[cstanleytech]

10. Because the Senate and House Republicans are his co-conspirators.

3. Cuomo and de Blasio need to make the rounds on every news channel.

This is outrageous.

4. Not good!

[MontanaMama]

5. So anybody living in NY is ineligible?

Lawyer up Clint.

[SunSeeker]

6. Wow. Guess he made Trump's enemies list. I wonder if he can appeal/sue.

It would be great if we could get discovery on why he was turned down. If he could be turned down, anyone can be. There must be recourse.

[lagomorph777]

9. Actually, in this case New York is who made the Enemies List.

Watts is merely a NY citizen who happens to have a media presence.

12. This news made me physically ill.

What have we got ourselves into?

[TryLogic]

13. There is a big time crime boss and extortionist in the White House

Senate Republicans are a gang of enablers. McConnell is a full fledged co-conspirator.

14. Article IV, Section 2 ...

The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.

15. Clint got dick-tatered.
