Who’d a thunk. The former cop still smells like bacon. ACAB
Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don’t deserve to have their good name compared to cops.
“I cannot tell you how much I start the day with telling my team we’ve got to follow the law,” he told reporters at the time.
Yeh. You never did that Mayor lmao.
It’s… Hey sir (I use that term lightly) this isn’t a thing you should have to tell people you shouldn’t give off the vibe or hire people who wouldn’t.
You never had morning meetings at your retail job where the pep talk was “Let’s get out there and do our best, and whatever you do, guys, remember not to violate the law today”?
What a bizarre claim to make. Does he actually think that’s how honest people start their day?
He doesn’t have a clue what honest people do. He’s like Vance buying doughnuts for the first time in his life. “Follow the law, I guess, or whatever makes sense.”
How long have you been following the law?
OK.
How about you, how long have you been following the law?
“I don’t want to be recorded.”
It’s always the ones you suspect the most.
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.
The FBI seized Adams’ electronic devices as part of an investigation into whether his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising.
That’s some expert journalism right there.
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)
Show me one iota of evidence that suggests Biden is involved in this.
And by the way, crime in NY is near historic lows.
Hey I am reserving judgement til paperwork comes out. That does not change the sentiment amongst city employees that this was a hit job, and even the final papers may not answer that. But it does remind me of the Stasi considering everything that has occurred.
You’re expecting a paper labeled “Biden hit job plan” at the top in crayon, or…?
I want to see what is being alleged. If this turns out to be the equivalent of parking tickets taken to a federal level it should be easy to draw conclusions. The Mayor has so far disavowed any criminal conduct, and even the acab crowd grilling him can’t guesstimate what the charges are. Regardless lets not act like all these DoJ buzz didn’t start after Adams called out Biden, since then a multitud of invasive investigations and house raids searching for? Every other person irl has mentioned House of Cards, Lemmy downvotes me for reporting it.
Corruption charges are a big deal. You can speculate all you want about the reason they are being brought but it just sounds like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist honestly.
Ps I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding Biden. Somehow though you think this is retribution, as though that would be the reason for the charges and not someone dropping tips that the mayor is doing illegal things… 🙄
In the interest of open discussion I have gone over the indictment. My take aways are that the Mayor engaged in conduct not disimilar from similarly situated individuals, and that this disparate treatment of leveling criminal charges to me personally I believe earnestly are politically motivated. I know it is unpopular on lemmy, but this is my sentiment from South Brooklyn, NY (I feel many views are not from metro NY)
So what you’re saying is that you’re a trump supporter?
You’re implying that everyone does illegal things and only Democrats care when it’s not them. And of course Republicans are “cool” by letting the Democrats do illegal things unpunished…?
