New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio compared his experiences with political setbacks to that of Mohandas Gandhi, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.

"Every time someone tries something and it doesn't work, it invalidates anything else they might do going forward," de Blasio, a Democrat, said in a recent interview.

Maybe he can do what Gandhi didn’t do and complete a hunger strike and starve to death.

_________

I don't know if he is he positioning himself for a run for the Oval Office, but....

Here’s a trend that’s "hard to swallow" ……………

Some folks who appreciate “holistic healing” drink their own urine.

Gandhi did it in India and Mahatma De Blasio is seemingly on the same beam….. or is he on the beam of the late Morarji Desai, a follower of Gandhi's and a onetime prime minister of India?

It’s because De Blasio wears a diaper. But his is red.

De Blasio ..... why didn't he compare himself to a sick freak like Stalin.

Much more appropriate.

I get them mixed up all the time. I think it’s they both drink their own urine.

________

You might try saving YOUR head........... or just shave that unseemly facial hair of yours.

De Blasio would be proud.

Remember Gandhi every so often would sleep with naked young girls to strengthen his resistance to temptation.

That guy’s head is so far up his ass he has to unfasten the bottom two buttons of his shirt to see where he is going.
