NYC has been electing shitty mayors for ages. Dinkins wasn't bad, but he was weakened by the press, the city council, and in particular the NYPD.

New York City picks another winner. Someone remind me why it is we're supposed to admire or emulate this place? No amount of Haute Coutour can make up for the gutter values (French translation pending) that brought us the orange amoeba and gouly Giulliani.

Link? Nothing comes up from Google or Duck Duck Go.

Our Mayor is a pathologically ambitious, yet quite stupid, cop. This is what happens when less than a quarter of eligible voters actually bother to show up at the polls. Adams is a despicable joke.

It should be noted that the tabloids and the local news stations had been pushing the "crime is out of control" narrative since the lockdown.

Some actual statistics would be refreshing, mr. adams et al. Just "good ideas" is a smokescreen for I thought something up while spending 20 minutes on the toilet.

Firstly, if New York city residents had voted for REAL Democrat Maya Wiley, and not DemoCop New Jersey resident Eric Adams, none of this shit would be happenning.

Anyway, in my Central New York town, I still wear a mask anytime I go out, and only pull it down or take it off in places I KNOW I am safe, and of course restaurants.

And when I go to the corner deli ALL the people that work there all wear masks, The sign does say though, that masks are preferred, as we have no law, but I always wear one, even as less and less people do so. Once I did accidentally forget my mask and when I got in there I apologised to them. but they all know me so it was kind of alright.

But what Übercop Adams is trying to do is just, well, Trumplike POLICE STATE kind of shit.

Actually cause of the redistricting, part of his district is in the notheastern part of Queens, around Little Neck.And the other part is places like Great Neck and some pretty well-off towns on the North Shore, but also stretching down to the South Shore...
