New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo slammed the New York City Council’s move strip the New York Police Department of $1 billion in funding, questioning “what it means” and calling for concrete action.

“I don’t know what it means,” Cuomo said during a press briefing Wednesday. “What does that mean? Does this mean I am less safe? Where did you take the billion dollars from? Does it mean I am more safe? Does it have any effect on police abuse? I don’t know what it means.”

He really doesn’t know what it means? He’s dumber than I thought.

He rhetorically makes fun of both sides, though. The Mayor and Fredo’s big brother hate each other.

It means that there are thousands of left wing radicals blinking their eyes in disbelief and kicking themselves for not demanding more.

In this case, no, he’s not.

NYC’s new budget is a lot of smoke and mirrors. Without a green eyeshade guy to go over it with a fine tooth comb, I defy anyone to know what’s being spent where.

But that’s the idea.

Suffice it to say that while the NYPD got screwed, they didn’t get screwed to the tune of a billion bucks.

I’m sure all the pols are hoping the mob will have moved on by the time anyone figures this out.

It means you are an idiot.

““We have to be in a constant place of reform,” de Blasio said.”

Straight out of Mao’s Little Red Book. Bring on the Cultural Revolution.

[[[He said that NY law allows him to fire DeBlasio. But he also said he won’t do it.]]]

You know why? Because then it becomes Andy’s problem. And he wouldn’t touch the city with a ten foot pole now its so effed up.

Given Covid and BLM activities of the last 90 days, NYC is probably close to bankrupt as of right now. Tax revenues from tourism, restaurants and hospitality venues are virtually nonexistent, high unemployment which means much lower city income tax revenue, city property taxes will be in free fall as commercial buildings get repriced downward, ditto retail sales taxes, maximum use of police paid overtime for protests, both airports are dead and so no taxi, limo, Uber taxes etc. They’ll be floating bonds any month now as soon as the City fathers see the financials, but the Street will make them pay. Waiting for Moody’s to awaken.
