We had devolved into such deep cynicism, that we totally forgot that positivity could be key for how to move forward. Any Republican garbage that shits on this just makes themselves look like a fucking pathetic tool. Like Donald Trump until recently, Mamdani has created his own special brand of Teflon. He's passed the critical stage after which criticisms and insults no longer stick or have any impact. In fact right when garbage going after him just makes him stronger.
Thank you Wonkette! I'm trapped in a hell-hole known as North York/Toronto. Your sass and cheer are helping to beat my depression at having to relocate from the US. Seeing that Mandami is slaying gives me hope that I will be able to visit my US friends soon.
Ta, Dok. We're so very happy Mayor Mamdani is in office! No one misses corrupt Eric Adams. He benefited from NYC's first ranked-choice vote. We got better. We're back from our errands and soaking the cannellini for the Tuscan veggie soup Meccalopolis has planned. We go on the air in about 4-3/4 hours.

I find those Campari, I think they're called... About 6 very small tomatoes in a clamshell... They have the right flavor. Texture too firm but they do taste nice and tomatoey. Also, at one store only, Hannaford, their hothouse tomatoes are worth it, usually. Tomatoes on the vine are never worth it. But nothing compares to a warm beefsteak from the farmstand.
YES. And a new series would be fine with me. I think Mamdani is going to end up being one of the most popular mayors in NYC history. And I lived through Beame, Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani ... . Then, I departed.
Lol. They really are trying aren't they? Not sure how you can be seen as having abandoned anything after being an office only under four months! Pretty sure you have to wait till the end of his term before you determine whether he abandoned anything or not. It's just all so pathetic isn't it?
He's at the point now where enmity against him makes him stronger. We saw that with Cuomo. The uglier his attacks against ZM God, the stronger ZM got.
In a way this is one thing that he and Trump have in common. They both at some point reached this critical stage where they were immune from the slings and arrows of the opposition.
Yeah that was a bunch of petulant pouting wasn't it? You know why rich people live in New York City? Because it's the best fucking city in the world is why they live in New York City. All over the world being able to tell people that you live in New York City is kind of a feather in your cap. A kind of status symbol. And if they wanna leave? They are fucking free to leave. I'm sure someone with a little less money than them would be more than happy to move in and take their place.
Damnmammy The Woke Commie Mooslim didn't forcibly evict them from their penthouses and give the keys to some random homless person AND throw in a pair of $600 boots just like his wife's in the bargain??? /s

Years ago I was on a case in DC and staying at the Hay Adams hotel. I was in the lobby on my way to the elevator when security guards held us back. A man who looked a little like Liberace walked to the elevator, smiling and waving at the four or five guests in the lobby. I learned he was the President of Albania, Enver Hoxha. Not a good person.
// Kaede Azusagawa does not dream of New York City //
Dok, you rascal you. ;-)
I love that show / light novel series.
Albania. Albania. It borders on the Adriatic.

The NYT insists that Mamdami is failing and has already abandoned all his promised policies.
On Eric Adams becoming Albanian - Our lose is Albania's ... lose?
I'm stumped as to what either entity gets out of this deal.
Is " pet the panda" a euphemism?
😂😂👀
Why do you ask?

That's a problem a lot of us would like to have!
Yes, and it can't leave my mind, how much I wish I could do more. I carry a lot of guilt and sadness

Thanks for the link! This left coast wonketteer is tuning in tonight.
So let me guess...Albania does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.?
That was my first thought...but they do.
Treaties are made to be broken ... for the right price.
Pandaing to the voters may work in the short term, but . . . Ah, fuck it, pandas are adorable, so it will work in the long run as well.
just tomato based things. grocery store fresh ones are only worth a damn twice a year.

::::gasping in horror::::
Mamdani is protecting CONSUMERS?? Isn't that now considered anti-American?
He's protecting revenue streams from exploitation. That's as Commie as you can get.
It is SOCIALISM - godless socialism
At least it's not pandaless socialism.
I grew up in Albany (though I was never voted the handsomest boy there*) and at first figured that Eric Adams had simply moved upstate, but noooo ....

Lol!
I remember Albany being called Albania!
(Used to work for an assemblyman.)
YES. And a new series would be fine with me. I think Mamdani is going to end up being one of the most popular mayors in NYC history. And I lived through Beame, Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani ... . Then, I departed.
Meanwhile NYT still has their knives out for him. Billionaires gotta billionaire I guess
“How to Be Mayor in 100 Days: Mamdani Grapples With a Learning Curve
Zohran Mamdani has accrued a long list of quick accomplishments as mayor of New York City, but he has also abandoned some key campaign promises.”
Lol. They really are trying aren't they? Not sure how you can be seen as having abandoned anything after being an office only under four months! Pretty sure you have to wait till the end of his term before you determine whether he abandoned anything or not. It's just all so pathetic isn't it?

I just saw a report about the mass exodus of the wealthy and powerful from the city because of him.
Apparently, it didn't happen.

Who?
The NYT can FOAD.

Demolished White House, shuttered Kennedy Center…
Promises kept!!
I guess for some people promises kept being more than what those promises are.
Because if you haven't delivered everything on your wish list within 100 days, you've abandoned them.
I seem to remember how the same thing was said about Obama.
They also tried it with Biden before he took office.
Meanwhile the NYT created Vance’s “negotiating skills” out of thin air
LOL
Years ago I was on a case in DC and staying at the Hay Adams hotel. I was in the lobby on my way to the elevator when security guards held us back. A man who looked a little like Liberace walked to the elevator, smiling and waving at the four or five guests in the lobby. I learned he was the President of Albania, Enver Hoxha. Not a good person.
The lying liars at Google tell me Hoxha never visited DC. It was Sali Berisha I saw, during his visit in September 1995. Mea culpa.
Hey! Adams! Why you moving to Albania?
Hay Adams is a very nice hotel.
Your timing is impeccable: he died on this day in 1985.
Cool. But I didn’t know he rotated out to citizen of hell so soon after I saw him.
Liberace died two years later.
A blow to show business.
My Dad always liked him because he was so good to his mother.
