Federalism Refresher

Apparently the very strange person who occupies the vice-presidency of the United States does not understand the basic concept of federalism.

Jobs Bill Stops Flint Crime Wave?

Dear Joe:

Municipal police departments are not a federal responsibility. Federal tax dollars from Texas are not destined to pay city wages in Flint Michigan. If the people of Flint have a crime problem then they handle it locally. They are the ones who get taxed by the municipality.

Sincerely,

The People of the United States.

Those fools will say anything to advance their agenda. Similarly, they will abdicate their duties on matters in which the feds have prime responsibility, specifically border security.

The Stupid Party is allowing the Evil Party to hold border security hostage because the Dims don't want to secure the border unless they can get all that they want, including amnesty. The threat became more clear last week with the revelation of the Iranian plot to use latinos to hit the Saudi ambassador in DC. The Evil continue to obstruct the security and the Stupid continue to permit it.

Hey, Joe, you dumba$$ - what is the incidence, statistically speaking, of cops just happening to show up to prevent rapes?

Since that kind of information would not readily be at the disposal of the VPOTUS, I'll give him a hint: It's a helluva lot lower than the probability of a woman thwarting a sexual attack with a Charter Bulldog, a TaurusCH-85 with +Ps, or a compact 9mm or .40 S&W. In fact, there's a significant probability that a woman so empowered may not simply thwart the immediate threat, but end the would-be Lothario's career permanently.

Heard a report that the President's brain, er, the TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States) was kidnapped yesterday. Does that mean Biden was temporarily acting CIC?

Scary.
