I agree that it is a school issue and would further say that a big problem we have right now is people getting overly involved in things that have nothing to do with them

I don’t believe the β€œdonors control them” thing but I do believe all the senior NY Dems are very friendly with the successful, liberal millionaire and up 55+ group in NYC and their discomfort troubles Chuck and team. Kudos to the governor for supporting Mamdani.

That was my question. Also curious who selects the first round of aristocrats and what their qualifications are

They aren’t even always β€œbanned.” You just have to pay a dime in Mass which provides a little incentive to bring your fabric ones. Who wants all those bags filling up your closet anyway?

What was the exact theme of said Halloween themed party?

β€œImpact”

Also his family roots are there. So he was interested. What a scandal!

You should see some of the laws they pass in random red cities and states.

Can’t we just be happy for each of them for different reasons?

Yeah there was that whole β€œhe understands my machismo” stuff among Latino men who were doing fine financially or think they will rich someday. No, actually he wants his goons to cuff and throw you in the back of van.

Factional infighting like this is stupid and self-defeating.

Bigger things are happening.

And everyone should stand with New Yorkers’ right to pick their own mayor in the face of authoritarian threats that, if they choose against the president’s preferences, he’ll break the law to hurt the city.

Given how hard it is to get good poll samples these days, I am shocked they were able to get nearly a million to respond. Impressive.

I can so see him switching ad becoming an evangelical, getting a divorce under the β€œunevenly yoked with an unbeliever” clause and running off with Erika or another approved blond

One of the impressions the media has built is that Trump won or almost won Blacks and Latinos. He improved, sure. But that is it.

I was just saying to a friend yesterday that they will come after Vance’s family eventually. I don’t know why people of color in the GOP think they are special.

You didn’t mention any other gender specific expertise besides having boys.

A lot of people have two sons. A focus group of two is not a qualification for anything.

My parents feel threatened by big cities on the coasts that they will never visit or live in. I think they are jealous actually, otherwise why would they care? Fox knows this, so they keep them ginned up and feeling superior with negative stories.

She has a lot of detailed concerns about the impact of his free bus proposal, which is understandable because she never has and never will ride a public bus in NYC.

Fox talks about him daily to the point where my mom in the midwest is dissecting his policy proposals

Horrible for democrats however and if we dont take back the house at least, it will be a disaster. Hopefully a bad online sample.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"
portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.
