De Blasio’s performance grows worse by the day, making NYC unlivable
New York Post ^ | June 27, 2020 | Michael Goodwin

...

The New York that survived 9/11 and bounced back stronger than ever is now being brought to its knees. The coronavirus, the economic shutdowns and the frequent street protests, mixed with pillaging and vandalism, are no ordinary hurdles, but they are surmountable — with courageous leadership.

...

The problems are many, but the linchpin is Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose performance grows worse by the day. There is nothing endearing about his act, only a long list of examples of how little he cares.

And how little he does. New York has had its share of corrupt and incompetent mayors, but never has it had one who is both of those and also a lazy bum.

With restaurants wanting to know the rules for reopening, de Blasio diddled until the last minute. Their survival was at stake, but he couldn’t be bothered.

What’s the plan for schools in the fall? Good question, but don’t ask the mayor. He hasn’t gotten around to that yet.

Besides, the issue only involves a million students, their families, teachers, coaches, principals and administrators. They must wait for the chief political popinjay to bestir himself.

Crime is soaring — murder is up 25 percent — and de Blasio responds by vowing to cut the police budget.

The aim is not to do more with less. It is to get the cops to do less. This is a death wish.

For weeks, illegal fireworks have exploded through the night, and a 3-year-old Bronx boy is among the injured innocents. Thousands of complaints pour in, to which the mayor shrugs and says cops and firefighters “have many other things” to do.

Police are quitting in droves, and nobody should blame them. Would you risk your life to enforce the law under this mayor?

Notice to all Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, BLM, Antifa, Socialists and Communists. Please don’t come to Texas. Keep the disease you spread in your own State.

Are there no recall elections in New York?

Every city run by a democrap is unlivable, but the asstards keep reelecting them. These people are utter morons, during his first term they complained what a horrible mayor he was and they reelected him anyway. Now we possibly could have one of the worst democrats ever as President solely because he’s going to scam these same morons by picking Tammy Duckworth as his running mate

AOC just won her district’s Democrat primary with over 70% of the vote. The Big Apple is too far gone. Rudy is but a distant memory. If they recalled de Blasio, they’d get another Socialist in his place.

Fundamentally, DeBlasio's mindset is that of a crook.....all they can do is tear down the world around them.

So beautifully succinct. Your brilliant observation wraps up all the loose ends of the Deblasios' NYC sojurn soon coming to a pitiful close.

===============================================

You pointed out just one of the Deblasios' egregious looting and pillaging schemes.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6760503/Bill-Blasios-wife-account-850m-given-mental-health-project.html

The term-limited mayor boasted at his daily City Hall press briefing: "anyone who doubts our greatness hasnt kept up with my wife's activities."
"I put her in charge of four govt-funded agencies that have the most potential for money-making WITH NO OVERSIGHT. The money'c coming in so fast, she can't even go shopping. She's stuck wearing that shirt with watermelon slices bought back when black lives DID NOT matter....cackle."

My wife is in charge of: (A) <><> mental health reform (she "forgot" where she put $800 million tax dollars) (B) <><> coronavirus racial equity.....(making sure Blacks get it, too?) (C) <><> heads the sap-happy Mayor’s Task Force on Racial Inclusion (D) <><> Upon taking office, I gave her "The Mayor's Fund for NYC" which receives non-stop tax dollars to "do-good" for our city (and to finance our political ambitions).

======================================

The progressive NYC Mayor and his Black wife were jeered and booed,
told to "get the **** of the stage" at a recent BLM rally.

Really, people. Did the Black woman HAVE to wear an old shirt to the rally
emblazoned with watermelon slices as a reminder black lives didnt matter?

That is because they blame ALL that goes wrong on those they actively, assiduously hate...That would be you and me...

For a second I thought you meant the whole city, then I started wondering when the millions of zombies would come forth...

“We need to figure out how to cordon their cesspools off and let them all wallow in their self-created schittholes.”

Got any ideas?

Heard a news story today about a guy finally able to re-open his barbershop in NYC - and his landlord showed up with a bill for several months’ rent.

That place is screwed.

People are fleeing in droves. This place is being over run. They are buying homes here like six packs which is the worst possible scenario for us in my community. The property tax system is poised to bend us over again.

Political Rule Number 1 has always been “All Marxocrats are liars.” Political Rule Number 2 necessarily follows, that is, “Never ever vote for a Marxocrat.” The people of this country, to their eternal detriment, have stupidly disregarded these Political Rules. Now it may be too late and we may have to fight another Civil War to put things right. I’m ready. Are you?
