      Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don’t deserve to have their good name compared to cops.

      No one in NYC likes him other than landlords. Republicans hate him because he’s black. Leftists hate him because he’s a landlord cop who doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself.

      Good riddance, the next in line is an actual leftist if he steps down

    Okay, as someone who’s never set foot in New York City, is it really that difficult for them to elect a mayor who’s not a giant hunk of fuck?

      Dinkins was pretty cool.

      But look, it’s a megalopolis of people working hard, tired af at the end of every day.

      Want political office? You gotta have real money, real connections, and the time and energy to get that power.

      Unfortunately that magically counts out the majority of us.

    He’s better then Rudy Ghoulani, but I’m glad to see the shittiest person to hold that office isn’t the bare minimum a moderate has to beat to be above the law.

    Does he stay mayor if he is convicted? I know the system is slow enough it probably won’t matter, just curious.

    Also, about damn time. Adams sucks and is obviously corrupt.

    We will see in the morning, but everyone in New York is already saying this was a Biden hit job. Its not even a whisper, every group chat is screaming that Joe Biden is doing this in retaliation for Eric Adams standing up against the Biden migrants, it is still very early but this only seems to hurt Harris support and fuel the Adams haters (which lets be honest they are never happy, ie Tiffany Caban says defund police while people get robbed at gunpoint eating in front of her office)
