also thats a very kind headline, Trump said "well I might do it, but other places need it more right now" right now Eric Adams is still the mayor of New York....

it is kinda amazing that the big thrust of Mamdani's campaign was "I will fight Trump!" to have really the first huge news event since he won be a warm civil meeting with... Trump.

I love how fucking stupid Musk is, he's like "ah ha! this will show everyone who disagrees with me is a bot!" and then it shows everyone he talks to is a paid troll Russia or a 3rd world troll farm for hire.

the wig glue is lifting in the back there.

I'm all for woke 2 as long as we agree woo-woo is out, I want aggressively pro-science and medicine thanks

when asked directly about ICE Mamdani gave a creepy answer about all the crimes under NY law that allows NYC law enforcement to work with ICE and that they totally would with-in the law

which reminds me of all the people who to this day HATE! on Kamala Harris for her "follow the law" answer.

yes they are officially moving the seat of government but earlier there'd been talk about emptying the city so I vibe this is step one of that

I mean yes, there are some natural problems but this is mostly manmade mismanagement, but idk if years of mismanagement and the natural drought can be quickly or easily turned around,

but also I wonder if getting the government out and breaking whats always been a restless city is a feature

oh not at all, just worth pointing out when it happens

oh people just unironically doing ZOG I see.

mmmmmm crockpot my beloved you have done it again

I think the theory is it's easier to deal with spread out people than 10 million all together in one city

that being said this is a big operation and they couldn't manage normal water management so how they gonna do moving 10 million people across the country

This is real wild, I can't think? of a time, at least in modern times, that a state has tried to empty out its largest city, other than Cambodia under Pol Pot? and this is the first time "because we ran out of water"

idk what becomes of Iran when Tehran's 10M people going into the countryside

America is at a crisis point – and every single day Donald Trump and Susan Collins plunge us further into chaos and hurt more Maine people.

We cannot afford to lose this election. I'm the only Maine Democrat to win statewide in 20 years – I know how to win and next year, I will.

oh basically in Christianity John the Baptist was preparing the way for Jesus, passing the torch off to Jesus at the Baptism

thats what they think about Trump he's clearing the path for the socialist revolution or whatever (Bernie Christ?)

they see Trump as their dark John the Baptist, the forerunner that will open the way for them, see it through that lens and it all makes sense

just imagine every one of those gross statements in RFK Jr's rock tumbler voice.

honestly I was somewhat shocked by what a strong physical reaction I had to the images, because I've never liked Mamdani, and I still felt gut punched betrayal and the need to puke

pretty much any story or narrative is better than coverage about threatening to murder Democrats, Epstein, and "quiet piggy" even if its "Trump offends base by being too bipartisan with Dem rival"

thats why its 218 at the end, thats after she leaves.

you can totally get Trump to say whatever, Trump likes saying whatever to make the person he's talking to happy in the moment, but he has no shame and no honor and will feel nothing going back on what he said minutes later to get something else he wants.

the only successful Mayor of NYC was Fiorello La Guardia.

How Trump should look after Democrats take him to task

So currently there are 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats

There's a special election in TN first week of Dec, I don't want to predict how that'll go

Texas-18 end of January will go Blue, NJ-11 in April

so its possible we could see a 218 to 216 House

he left Washington in 2017 on the train.

a Tommy Gun and jeans? *sigh*

I remember a Bernie volunteer tell me that a popular saying at the Bernie field office in 2015 was "Trump voters are just Bernie voters who need to be educated" and a decade later....

yep, and thus pulled the teeth out of the attack of calling Trump a fascist, Mamdani got having the nerve to say it and Trump laughing it off as no big deal reducing it to just politics as usual
