So is this the final say, or can it be re-appealed?

I'm a hard core NY Dem here but those maps where hard core corrupt. Adams and Hochul both suck bigly.

Also Kips Bay, Gramercy Park, Murray Hill, Flatiron, and that’s the extent of my knowledge of Manhattan.

I know. So disappointing.

GOOD. No jesusfundmybullshit dollars should be accepted, either. You liquidate your assets or you get a doubled fine. I want these fucks broken. Seriously, permanently, utterly broken. Staring at their "golden" years through a prison fence, or, failing that, with not one dime to carry them through. We cannot stop at "oh, bless his heart, he learned a hard lesson." Grind them into the fucking dirt and then piss on the dirt.

What do you normally think "going high" means?

They got married in 79 in Tucson. We drove down to the show in Tucson that night. Pattie was sitting onstage watching the show. Clapton had Albert Lee in the band then.

That's not what I am saying you should do. I am saying that in actual real life politics, rather than another analogy from one-on-one violence, there is actual value in being principled and having ethics. For instance, winning the White House, Senate and House which Democrats did. No knife fight analogies necessary- in the actual, literal terms of actual, real politics they won without violating those principles .

They're both valuable and have done a lot for the good of the House, New York and the US.

Aw man, I love Albert Lee. I saw him 90 and he let Robert Cray do all the heavy lifting, which was fine, but he was a shell of himself to my ears.

Never heard of Inwood or Yorkville. What part of Manhattan are they in?

Ethics is going to get me dead or my life destroyed in any number of ways by these people because I will not do what they will do.

Ethics is a liability.

Talk to me about ethics after a Republican Congress installs Trump or DeSantis in '25 whether they actually win or not.

I see no further value in this discussion since all there is to do is repeat ourselves, so have a good night.

No, I get it. I thought you were unfairly getting brushed off in the responses, so I thought I’d register my agreement. 😁

No one lives in the “North Side” or “South Side”.

I will freely admit I know little of Manhattan's cultural geography, but isn't that at least partly because North and South Manhattan are called Upper and Lower?

He is agreeing with you, not the other way around.
