Did a search for this and other articles like it; turned up nothing, so posted it. It’s from earlier last week. Bloomberg’s megalomania certainly does not end at the borders of the city.

Bloomberg says:

“Liberty? Pffft!”

He may have a tougher time with this than with the “safe act”(?) since it’s likely that the legislature has more interaction with sugary drinks than with guns. What a self serving radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbag this clown is. Does he have any stock in coke or pepsi?

As I’ve said many times on here.

I’m glad to see Bloomie realizes New Yorkers aren’t smart enough to make good decisions about health.

I’m distressed that he thinks they are smart enough to vote in federal elections.

I like when people, especially liberals, say:

“Oh that’s ridiculous! Tyranny could never happen in the USA! you’re overreacting!”

Well, New York city is now a despotic state. Does anyone deny this? Even liberals I think know it as I heard them complain about the despot. I read last year the despot is demanding all landlords submit a list of all the people who smoke in their apartments, which is an invasion of privacy. Good. I hope he installs cameras in their bedrooms next. “Tyranny can never happen in the USA! We don’t need guns!” LOL!

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has urged New York State to adopt his ban on large sugary drinks.

What's next for this idiot, a call for a Constitutional Amendment?!?

2 things:
• Why aren’t the soda bottlers taking this guy to court?
• Why hasn’t anyone taken this guy out to the woodshed, literally?

Decades ago when the government started banning substances like drugs people stood up and said what business is it of the governments to tell us what we can and cannot do. Many people responded they thought the concept of government power to ban things is good for us, that drugs were bad. The first group said the concept isn’t about drugs specifically but the idea the government had authority to ban anything in the first place.

Well, now the government is doing exactly what the first group knew they would do and that is ban more and more common things like sugar.

Totalitarianism. That’s what the first group was warning about. Too late.

I’m hoping the democrat morons in NY follow his lead. The stupider they act, the sooner normal people will abandon them. And again, shame on the GOP for not using enough of the democrat antics to paint them as they are.

It easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than it is for a billionaire to govern ethically and reasonably.

How about a Michael Bloomberg ban? When he sends out the NYC union goons to enforce his edicts, the victims reply by dumping the city employees in the Hudson, Harlem, and East Rivers.

‘Sugary’ instead of ‘sweet’. Clever, isn’t it? Like ‘marraige equality’ instead of ‘gay marriage’. I suppose various organizations do focus-group research to find exactly the right words.

He is such a jerk.

Use your bully pulpit to tell people what is wrong with sugary drinks. Don’t force people with laws! Not only is it totalitarian, it doesn’t work. I believe pot is banned in NYC too? How’s that working for you?

When the big bloomers closes down NYC bathhouses and enforces immigration laws in Chinatown, I will beleive he is more concerned about public health than being Queen for the day.
