Well, let's be realistic. The sign is probably because the Fetid Moppet kept getting lost and going in the wrong door all the time.

a person in a white shirt and blue striped boxers holds a black and tan dachshund under the armpit with one arm and under the chin with the other. the dog has a massive mouthful of cooked spaghetti chomped in his mouth, with noodles sticking out in all directions, and a single long strand dangling down the length of his skinny body. we know the position isn’t ideal, but the dog was recently fished out of the garbage where he found this treasure, so it’s a temporary solution. the dog’s eyes are wide: likely a combination of joy at the feast, surprise as the swift removal, and shock at having been caught.

We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

Is the DC Metro Area one of those regions? Because if the Senators and Congressional Reps can't leave the city, they may actually go do the jobs they're still very much getting paid to do.

Also, goat-meat would probably be a significant step-up from what's actually used is some of those hot dog stands.

Broadly speaking, after the smear campaigns against him for being born in Uganda, he does NOT like visa posts.

As a NY'er, we may be a blue city at the national level, but we've elected a LOT of Republican mayors over the years.

NYC is NYC, don't project your blatant insecurities on us, Mr. Speaker.

To be clear, it *can* be manipulated - but current methods can also be manipulated, so we're trading a known risk for a potential risk.

NYC introduced it for primaries this year, and it went really well. That clears the way for ballot measures to introduce it for general elections, and I'm looking forward to it.

I'd be ok with voter ID if all US Citizens are *guaranteed* free ID with zero exceptions whatsoever.

That's not going to happen, so no, you can't demand ID when you don't 100% ensure every citizen gets ID.

True, but a world where he won't make a call when the Democrat ends up winning (which is the world we're in now) looks so much worse.

Oh, they'll convince the folks to blame the hunger and lack of health care on immigrants, the radical left, and Canada.

Seriously. Their staff barely have any creative control as it is now. If it means the execs can get an extra micro-transaction (oops, sorry, "surprise mechanic") in there, then the creatives can go pound sand.

I mean, in this political climate I wouldn't say who I voted for if I was him. I'd also retire, but that's just me.

3 - Adams is still on the ballot because he withdrew after the ballot was "closed" - meaning absentee ballots were already printed, and therefore he couldn't be removed.

FYI: Trump and Biden were also listed multiple times, this isn't unusual at all.

Since it apparently needs to be explained:

In the NYC Mayoral Election:
1 - Zohran and Sliwa are listed more than once, because each was nominated by multiple parties.
2 - Cuomo is positioned where he is because independent candidates are listed last.
