I've heard more than once that even though he's (allegedly) formally withdrawing, his name will remain on the ballot because they're already printed (and, I guess the city can't spend the money to reprint them because it can't afford it and they wouldn't be done in time)??
Anyone know anything about that?
I'm concerned that people will vote for him because they don't know he's withdrawn
Not because NYers are not smart enough to know but because they're "too busy" / "avoiding politics" -- both of which I've heard too many times for comfort
If I gave more of a shit about NYC, this would be even better news. Still, though, lol.
But hey, if I were Adams - a nauseating thought, to be sure - I'd probably be thinking it's past time to step away and spend more time with all that ill-gotten mon . . . er, with my family, too.
For what it's worth, many years ago when I was a reporter, our editor drove it into us that it was "pleaded," never "pled." So "pled" always sounds like a false note to me. No idea what the style guides say.
To be fair to Adams, he probably was so used to taking petty bribes during his P.D. career, he thought nothing of continuing the practice when he became Mayor.
Yeah I don’t believe ICE when they say that they found a gun on Dr. Robert’s with a gun. Seems like they pulled up a past charge and used that. A “knife” could be just a tool to cut the seat belt. A lot of people have those.
My Medicare Part D RX plan premium is going up next year. But Hair Doktor ChloRX said drug costs would be going down by 700%, 800%, 1000% or 1500%. According to basic math, that means WellCare should be sending me money instead of the other way around. Pam: DO SOMETHING! THEY ARE GUILTY AS HELL!
"But US district judge Jeffrey Bryan deferred until future proceedings the question of whether Lindell – one of the country’s most prominent propagators of false claims that the 2020 election was a fraud – acted with the “actual malice” that Smartmatic still needs to prove to collect any damages."
So..... man, that lets a lot of MAGA idiots off the hook!... Isn't there some legal need to try to decipher accuracy when you're making false claims?...
Good riddance! Now, he should just drop into Saudi Arabia, where is loyalty to money, greed and corruption lies!
Ta, Marcie. All Adams did was make us miss Bill DeBlasio. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'm looking forward to Mayor Mamdani.
If Mamdani can get even a fraction of his platform done, it will be worth a ticker-tape parade, except there's no ticker-tape any more.
Best wishes to NYC from the land of YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR.
Adams has been out of this race since last year. He just didn’t know it.
Now the only obstacle for Andrew Cuomo is the fact that he’s Andrew Cuomo.
I imagine the NYT is going to be pretty lit for the next month.
Listen --

I wonder what well paying positions doing nothing he will get from corporations and Cuomo backers for bailing out? Or just outright bribes.
Is it "pleaded" or "pled"?
“Pleaded” always sounds weird to me. It’s what journalists apparently prefer, but “pled” sounds better to me.

Especially being from Staten Island
The only anti-racist thing that ever came out of there was Wu Tang
The Spiro Agnew method of financing the good life.
That Adams “worked his way up from the bottom” just tells us that the corruption goes from the top down.
And nothing of value was lost.
Yeah I don’t believe ICE when they say that they found a gun on Dr. Robert’s with a gun. Seems like they pulled up a past charge and used that. A “knife” could be just a tool to cut the seat belt. A lot of people have those.
Knives are also used in cooking…
Guns can also be used for cooking. Just ask Ted Cruz.
Fuck Ted Cruz.
Awaiting 1000 “Why this spells trouble for Mamdani campaign” headlines in MSM

It's almost re-enrollment time for me. Can't wait to see the new rates.
I don't have much room in the budget for higher pharma costs.
OT, but too good to wait...

Pay the fuck up, MeinPillow guy!
Guess who says he's running for Governor of Minnesota?
Nice Time!
Is there going to be a big picture of his fuck-ugly face on my screen if I click that link? (Yes)
Lay your head on my chop block...
More comfortable than his lumpy-ass pillows.

The "it's not a lie if you really believe it" defense.
it's never worked for me....
I believe that defense, like many others, tends to be effective in direct proportion to your net worth.
Or if you wear a badge.
OT:
cnn: "Republicans believe there is only one way to avert a shutdown: Schumer has to change his mind"
Shouldn't be too hard. We are fucked.
Depends on what 'the Baileys' tell him.
