I saw some panel with the candidates and they were one upping each other on how much they will do for Israel. One hadn't already booked the obligatory tour in Israel with the obligatory pic at the wailing wall with a kippah and the others shamed him over it. LOL pathetic, a race for NYC mayor and it's about how much fealty they show Israel ::) ::) ::) :D
"With election day around the corner, the race has turned into an Israel-Palestine proxy war of sorts, even as voters on both sides wish the focus remained on local issues. Candidates have been asked in mayoral debates about their support for Israel and whether they would visit "

Yes he does.

Sliwa always runs I think

Sliwa's run the last couple of cycles. It looks like Cuomo will be NYC mayor.

The Muslim dude pulled ahead in the last day so….I don’t think NYC has had a good mayor since Giuliani. Seems Adams came around and saw the light then started siding with Trump which is why they tried getting him on phony charges

Also a freeze on all electric, gas and water bills for landlords, and insurance.

I'm sure you will have that and more when liberalism reaches its zenith:
-
All I know about Cuomo is he has those very gay nipple piercings. Is that a plus? I guess otherwise he would have hidden them when in public.
He knows what's really important

NY electing Democrats is peak idiocy.
NYC has gotten less and less safe, their AG and judicial systems have been weaponized, and their Governor is just a continuation of failed policies.
No wonder people keep leaving.

if Wall Street decentralizes operations any more, and they will, NYC will be just a dirty bus depot. The digital age has made Ecommerce available anywhere with just a high speed internet connection.
BTW, NYC and its taxes on the high earners of Wall Street accounts for 40% of all NYS taxes. if you add in the three adjoining counties it is 70%. So if NYC dies, The state will become Vermont, haha.

Interesting. It’s all about Wall Street such that NYC actually has a less diversified economy that LA, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta. The flip side is that, with the exception of LA possibly (and Miami), the other cities do not pull international wealth in the way that New York does.

Course, coach would endorse Cumo.
Coach is the same guy watching CNN and Fox News.
I don’t support either.
However, zohran at least has some new ideas.
Cumo will come in with the same BS. Maybe a new sexual allegation and of course a trip to isreal

The Democrats are so dynamic the two leading candidates for mayor are a socialist and a guy who botched covid and resigned for multiple sexual harassment claims.

I like Massie. He's an MIT graduate so he's got real brain power. I think most Congressmen don't have degrees in STEM fields. Not to say you need that but it does bring a different perspective which could be helpful. Trump is right that he does do some grandstanding at times. But not all of it is for publicity. I think he legitimately has issues with the foreign lobbyists power in the US and wants us to refrain from international meddling.
-
Massie is no Dr. Oz.
Meaning? Not too familiar with Oz.

Silly shoolyard bully tactics. Not very Presidential, lowering himself to that childish level. But it's entertainment, I'm not complaining :D

They love that big city life. It used to be a fun place to go now the criminals run the place. Luckily I'm only there for four days. Wouldn't mind going to upstate NY though.

Massie is a good guy I have no beef with him.
He’s allowed to not agree with Trump.
NY actually “voting” in this sketchy guy does not look good in certain aspects.
It won’t be the end of the NY but we could be in store for Deblasio light kind of experience I guess there.
I am not a NYC resident, but I was born there and do spend some time there.
This article says Cuomo still may run in November. Would be good if Curtis could actually win, but a long shot obviously.
I didn’t the Adams guy is running again as an independent. Maybe this is all smoke screen to re-elect him.

Yes, but he's not hosting now due to station and election rules. He's still popular in NY, but not popular enough to win, sadly.

Massie disappointed me, I like him but he blew this one however he’s a strong voice for the second amendment
-
You'd think Trump would take it in stride, the criticism, and not even comment much but he's coming with this ridiculous schoolyard name calling against Massie. Just creating unnecessary enemies when they could be allies down the line. Oh well, I'm nobody, and I'm not telling anyone what to do, it's great entertainment to me. On occasion it might even be charming, listening to polished politicians spouting BS is sickening too :D
I mean, what the hell is it when he says, "I don't care what Tulsi says" when she's been loyal for the most part? Has he lashed out at Marjorie Taylor Greene yet, who is another critical but loyal supporter?

Rent freezes, free transit, and free childcare sound pretty good to me.
Yeah, except its beyond his ability to provide it. Guarantee in 4 years IF any of those programs are actually off the ground, they'll be a convoluted mess.
Lib mayors of big cities always make promise that they cant keep, they simply dont have the authority to make. There are a lot of other stakeholders involved that are required to go forward.
NYC will have the same problems 4 years from now, only worse. This guy will campane on the same exact promises only he will blame those stakeholders for why his plan didnt work last time but will work this time. And its rinse and repeat in virtually all lib run major cities.
-

This is correct. But then again, big promises that are completely unrealistic were norm in the last election. So it makes sense for the trend to continue.

This is the truth.
Massie is not going anywhere. And we're not supposed to agree with 100% of what anyone says, and before 2016, folks didn't try to ruin people when the didn't.
Different times now.

Really? That’s funny, because rent freezes have been enacted in the past by previous NYC mayors and NYC already offers free childcare to some degree. By all accounts, these programs are quite popular for those who qualify. Good thing “beakdoctor” is here to tell us better things aren’t possible :D

Thomas Massie and MTG are the two best politicians in Congress. And this is coming from a guy who typically votes for the Green Party.

This guys campaign promises remind me of the sixth grade student president elections. “I promise if I win I’ll put a soda machine in the cafeteria and have donuts on Friday.” Wins the election. No soda or donuts.

Massie is one of the few I have always liked. He always votes with his conscience. He can agree with Trump, the squad (shudder), but he stays true to his beliefs. Plus, he kind of lives off the grid, which is cool.

You obviously don’t have any investment real estate. What about the small investor that has maybe 5-6 properties and is using them as a major part of retirement? If he has busted his ass and paid them off, who has a right to tell him what he can charge?
I don’t think many lefties (socialists) think this through. Maybe you don’t own a business and work for someone or maybe a large corporation. Maybe your job has nothing to do with sales. These people often think salesmen earn too much.. But here’s the thing - no matter what you do ultimately there is a product or service bringing in corporate revenue. Now - what if someone limited what could be charged for said product or service? Do you not think management would hesitate to share that with you - in the form of decreased wages??? Or maybe you think the sales people earn too much? So you lower compensation and end up with much lower productivity in sales? Again - do you think somehow you won’t feel it?
Before you get excited that the government is “sticking it to the man” - just remember it’s “the man” that pays you!

As long as you support Trump, I'm fine. I can't keep track of what posters here support Trump or not, and I'm fine with people saying they think Trump is wrong on this issue or that, but too often it turns out it's not an issue here or there, it's just hidden anti-Trump (people who supported Desantis types or brain dead Ds). Trump is already crushing it on immigration, we'll see on Iran and the BBB and the rest, but I think those will just end up more wins.

There are no surface streets to use an alternative with the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. A special nightmare is squeezing down to the two lanes on arriving at the tunnels. Backups begin blocks away.

Exactly, I found this out when we drove to NJ yesterday. I didn’t realize we had to go trough the Lincoln Tunnel. It’s was bottlenecked at the beginning of the tunnel then it wasn’t so bad. Coming back at 11pm wasn’t so bad.

I went all in on Trump this election after the Bragg case.
That was the final straw for me.
However, I can't blindy be a "red/blue" no matter who type. He is mistaken on how many voters who voted him in love Massie.

He's a "just there" type mayor. There isn't a tremendous amount of support for him, but there isn't hate either. Before he was elected he was seen as an opportunist from his time in the NYPD, and was elected on the feeling that he was the best choice in a field of bad candidates. Now I think most people that follow NYC politics understand that he is hamstrung by the rest of the NYC (and state) political machine.
A big problem is that there isn't a backbone of middle class in New York to swing elections anymore. They've mostly moved out of the city. Now you've got the rich that will vote liberal because they don't have to ride the trains, etc.... And you've got the poor or working poor that vote on promises like free buses, etc..... Or vote along racial lines.
Sadly, NYC seems destine for more hard times.
In terms of popularity, the last 50 years of mayor popularity goes something like Guiliani, Koch, Bloomberg, Dinkins, Adams, Deblasio from what I've seen from people that live here.

I’ve heard there is a tooooon of opposition research on Momdani. Should be easy to tarnish with a few salacious scandals. If they dont do it, they want him in.

Same in Chicago and other big cities: rich progressives who subscribe to all the orthodoxies, young hipster progressives (not so rich), and then the welfare class. But there are still lots of working class voters, heavily Latino and some Black, who are the new swing voters. Elderly white middle class remaining are pretty much Republicans.

Got it. I ask because I like the guy. Seems he knew when come more over to the center after with all of the illegals coming into the city and realized it wasn’t working instead of just towing political line. I think that might have been where the corruption accusations came from. NYC isn’t my kind of city but then again no big city is. The congestion is bad but overall I found it to be cleaner than I had imagined and didn’t see whole lot of homeless on the streets. Contribute that to Adams? I heard it was pretty bad under DeBlasio

I have a very hard time thinking any of what is happening in NYC is organic and feel similarly about Mamdani. I think he's some rich someone's puppet (normally Soros types but Soros is Jewish) just like AOC, she's basically a recruited actress. At least she was a bartender, I don't think he ever held a real job.
As to the people there, I guess they just haven't suffered enough.

It's not organic at all. None of this was. Regardless of what you think about them, what the Justice Democrats did by primarying vulnerable opponents to get their puppets like AOC into congress was brilliant. Just be glad that it didn't work at the levels they wanted (think 50+ congresspeople).
But they're funded as well. This Mayor's $ are likely coming from the same place that funded the LA riots, and the No Kings horseshit. And the right is not attacking him in the right way - I've seen videos he's made - he is connecting directly with the young and the less fortunate, and some of it makes sense (street vendor liscences, etc).
In other words, the right can't sit back and cry communism/socialism because that's not going to resonate with his voter base. Since they're also fucking morons who only have Sliwa as a candidate, they're going to have to back Adams right now, as And NYers are too stupid to realize how Democrats have been consistently sliding NYC into the gutter.

It's not just NYers, it's most major democrat cities/counties.

Got it. I ask because I like the guy. Seems he knew when come more over to the center after with all of the illegals coming into the city and realized it wasn’t working instead of just towing political line. I think that might have been where the corruption accusations came from. NYC isn’t my kind of city but then again no big city is. The congestion is bad but overall I found it to be cleaner than I had imagined and didn’t see whole lot of homeless on the streets. Contribute that to Adams? I heard it was pretty bad under DeBlasio
I think Adams will do better if he gets a second term. He knows that he only really has a friend in Trump now, and he came up in the 80's and 90's under most of the better mayors, so he understands that after a certain point you need to deal with a city like NYC with a fie=rm hand.
Homelessness wise, it got bad under DeBlasio, but the Covid lockdowns really ramped up a lot of it, and also returned a lot of crime to open view. Then, just as we were coming out of the lockdowns we (and a freshly elected Adams) got slammed with the wave of illegals which made it a 1000x worse, because they weren't the standard crazy homeless that you learn to avoid, but tons of young to middle age men that knew how to commit crime.
I'd attribute the ebb in "street shit" mainly to 3 things -
1) Adams knows he has nothing to lose by being Trump friendly.
2) Adams needs this re-election, and it's Summer. He generally does a lot of law and order sweeps, etc.... in the Summer so he can show up for pics, invite the press, etc.... He loves publicity.
3) Just the general election of Trump. Once he was back in office,the mood across the city just changed. While it hasn't gone right, it's more centrist and pragmatic. The left quietly benefit from this too, because whenever there's any type of law and order activity, they simply blame Trump for some or all of it.

Make sure to have Rory stay away from rooftops, because this guy sympathizes with the types who would throw him off one.

What are New Yorkers opinions on Mayor Adams? From an observer looking in, I thinks he's done a good job considering who his DA and AG are. Do you think if he's re-elected and Bragg and James are gone (She'll be gone anyway IMO) NYC can improve?
I'm not from NYC but Adams is a clown.

Unfortunately he's the only hope now.

What population in New York?
Mostly Muslim or? What happened to the Italians?
Why are they picking that Mayor?

Sounds like a campaign the Cuban’s would run.

Muslims aren't the problem, if anything, they're more conservative than Whites in the State or City. There aren't enough conservatives left in the State to make it go hard Red, but a centralist Republican or a slightly right leaning Democrat can win sometimes depending on the mood of the City and how they connect to the people.
The Republicans haven't ran anyone that connected with the majority of the City in years (Adams changes his affiliation easily, depending on his and the city's mood). Meanwhile, the Muslim fellow is connecting with the poor, the young, etc..... that all want to believe in this vision of of a cheaper New York without asking how he's actually going to do it.
Curtis is the Republican candidate. I like him, and think he'd do well in some official capacity, but he doesn't have a shot at being Mayor. He's a 70 year old White guy, and a lot of folks also see him as a decent, sweet man, but goofy -
