    If he'd shut his nasty mouth for 24 hours life would be great. Even better if he STFU for a week. No wonder Melania can't stand living in the same house as him. The orange faced dude in the giant baggy suit and 3 foot long tie creeps me out. It doesn't help that he's an attention seeking psychopath who lies and brags about himself non-stop every single day of the year.

    Despite all of these superficial complaints of yours, you have to admit that the man gets the job done. His accomplishments in the first several months of this term have been nothing short of amazing.

    GOOD DAY

    For those saying that companies will leave the city and go elsewhere..... They have been flocking to my town and so have New Yorks workers.
    I am in charge of hiring for my department. Not many applications come across my desk that don’t have a 718 area code.

    These guys have been employing loads of folks at great wages. I live less than a mile from the nano tech building. Over the last 10 years my home value has appreciated by almost 40%.

    Besides acting and looking like a clown, he's a nasty mouth psychopathic felon and con. Those aren't superficial traits. He's mentally unfit. A pathological liar con never be trusted. Your idea of amazing and mine are completely different. His actions so far have been nothing short of chaos, combined with illegal acts, and corruption.

    WaPo editorial, link will work for everyone

    Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party
    New York cannot take its greatness for granted. Mismanagement can ruin it.

    Nobody gives a **** about billionaires. You people dont get it. Wealth inequality is at worst. Housing market has been unaffordable for decades for young folks.

    People want populism whether its good or bad. Trump was the greatest marketer in history and presented himself as someone who agreed with you rhe system was corrupt and he would fix it (obviously its all a con to get rich off morons).



    Nobody gives a **** what tech bros or finance bros think. Cuomo out spent zohran 10:1 and had all business leaders endorse him.

    There is a nonzero chance that Trump and Stephen Miller are now looking into deporting to Mamdani to Iran or Sudan or North Korea or El Salvador or Russia or Cuba or ...

    I suspect the NY young Republican Club is about all of 100 members strong and they probably live in Utica or Ithica.
    Many many hours away.

    Lol, is that what he's proposing?

    This is where you don't want an authoritarian government, but one that has checks and balances. Right?

    This is a great mirror. Please don't look away. Give any government too much power, and you will come to regret it the day someone you don't like is king.

    You should care about brilliant people who have contributed to society and been handsomely rewarded for it. You can learn valuable lessons from these people. My posts are an excellent example of such learning opportunities.

    That guy is a true socialist. But the misinformation/lies are usual. No jail is a lie. No police is a lie. Government only grocery store is a lie. Lie after lie. Why is it so hard to debate with honesty?

    Those in uproar here do need to look in the mirror directly and carefully. If you are concerned about a single person executing these "lies," you would support a democratic system. You, today, are much more fascist than this guy is socialist.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohran_Mamdani

    His platform includes support for free city buses and a rent freeze in rent-stabilized housing.[42] Mamdani also wants the city government to operate five grocery stores—one in each borough—to drive down grocery prices.[

    Mamdani supports a universal pre-kindergarten childcare system.

    Mamdani has argued that increasing policing and incarceration does little to prevent harm and that "dignified work, economic stability, and well-resourced neighborhoods" better create public safety.[63] He has advocated a more community-based approach to reducing crime, focusing on homeless outreach and anti-violence programs. He contends that there is too much reliance on police to fix societal problems, saying, "Police have a critical role to play, but right now we are relying on them to deal with the failures of the social safety net of reliance that is preventing them from doing their actual jobs."[64] He has proposed a department of community safety to expand mental health outreach.

    Mamdani has advocated capping rent increases, strengthening tenant protections, and creating a Social Housing Development Agency that would build publicly owned affordable housing.[65] He wants to build 200,000 new units of affordable, rent-stabilized homes over the next 10 years and double the amount of spending to rehabilitate homes for the city's 400,000 public housing tenants.[66] He also wants to "increase density around mass transit hubs" and "upzone wealthier neighborhoods", citing housing policies in Jersey City and Tokyo as better examples.[6

    The guy I bought my dog from right across the street from Cornell. His neighbor had a Trump sign in his yard.
    My wife said good thing we weren't buying from that guy, or the dog would be a nazi for sure.
    Poor dog already has one strike against him because he is a Daschund

    We rented a cabin on one of the smaller finger lakes during covid and that place was Trump Central.
