. . . Not to mention the legitimacy of the organization and, to some extent, the entire government.

“Drill baby drill” vs NIMBY!

I overstated. He’s not “required,” but it’s pretty common for the NY mayor to meet with the president after being elected. Mainly for all the reasons already stated. They may not like one another, but in both cases the voters chose their leaders, so they have to work in the same company as one another.

He’s going to be the mayor of NYC. He has no choice but to meet with the President. Besides, he’s upholding a campaign promise to meet with anyone (see article).

After all the shit Trump said about home during the election, the shit the press secretary said about the “communist coming to the White House,” the absolute best thing Mamdani can do right now is nothing. Let these idiots fall over themselves backtracking and unsaying all the shit they’ve spewed. All he has to do is stand there with a smile and not say shit. Even if Trumps base never comes around on him, he was never going to win those people. He’s already won all he was ever going to win when Trump said positive things about him after the meeting. No need for him to say anything else. Just go back to NY, wake up tomorrow and get on with his life.

Yeah, the meme assumes the US is a country of laws for those in power. Common mistake.

A message he’s clearly not getting, or caring about, judging by his remarks today.

An op-ed one. To be fair, I don’t think these should be included in news communities, but here we are.

NYC is almost a small country unto itself, in some ways. About the only thing she could have larger impact on, in a governmental position, would be at the state level… namely in NY or California (possibly Texas, but that would never happen).

Wait, the GOP was actually trying to win the VA governor’s race!? Coulda fooled me!

Democrats will find a way to fuck it up. They always do.

This needs to be added to every news report about anyone named. People knew about the guy for a long time, and they still did business with him because money and line go up.

You’re already doing your part. Keep up the Good Work!

I remember Newsroom, and it was alright. Kind of mad they didn’t get to do a little more with it. Personally, I’ll probably watch Sports Night again, too.

I should just spend the next 3-years watching that on repeat instead of the news.

Like the trickling down profits, one day the tariffs will happen. One day.

💩

This should say something. Instead, his fans will basically say, “that’s why I love him!” Completely missing the joke they just made at their own expense. Or getting the joke and not caring. Which, itself, is also a joke at their expense.

I think they need to march on Washington and demand the files be released. Go straight to the capitol building and just walk in like they did last time they didn’t get what they wanted. I mean obviously nothing bad happened las time because all those folks were pardoned because it was all a hoax. They weee peacefully touring the building.

Anyway, they should do that again.

Alabama voter: “Why TF are y’all takin ar Medicaid!? I mean I’m still gonna vote for you come next election cause I ain’t no liberal commie, but I’m really pissed at all this shit y’all are doin!”

Ok. You mean the ban of specific guns or types of guns. I do agree that assault weapons bans are troublesome, mostly because the people deciding what makes a gun an “assault” weapon don’t really know what they’re talking about. That said, I do think there are weapons that the average person should absolutely not be able to purchase. At least, not without formal training. Beyond this, guns in general are still available, and if legislatures pass these kinds of laws, they can be rescinded with the next election if the population wants that. While it’s not ideal for gun enthusiasts, it’s not like they don’t have all sorts of alternative options.
