Does Sliwa still have a radio show?

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 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.

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.

Throw in free food, and now we are talking.

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.

LOL!  Dream on, loser.  Thomas Massie is beloved by his constituents and will easily coast to re-election.

Do these election results look like someone who will be “tossed out at the next opportunity”?

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.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2025/06/25/zohran-mamdanis-most-surprising-proposals-from-city-owned-grocery-stores-to-arresting-netanyahu/

City-Owned Grocery Stores: Five city-owned grocery stores would be opened under Mamdani’s plan, one in each borough which he says would avoid rent and property taxes, in an effort to lower the cost of food—an effort harshly criticized by billionaire Gristedes supermarkets owner John Catsimatidis, who told the New York Post he would consider moving his business conglomerate to New Jersey should Mamdani win the general election.

Or any sympathizing democrat.

This one is all youth driven, I think, but haven't paid close attention.

I will withhold my vote until it can be confirmed that the city owned grocery stores will carry Walla Walla onions and pink Himalayan Sea salt.

Count me in! Hopefully they sell creatine and glutamine.
