His "no broken windows" governing philosophy was already expiring under its own weight.
Rudy literally cleaned up the city. It was Gotham in the '70s and the '80s.
He did, yessir. And then 9/11 caused Shrub to bow to the slimes; walk hand-in-hand with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, the hell-bound sob who funded the madrassas where Bin Laden had his pick of suicidal morons.
Shrub then damn near permitted the Flight 93 Memorial to become a mooselime shrine (a crescent moon of tree with the memorial placed asymmetrically right at the 'star'), until pushback from none other than FR caused National Parks to move the 'star' but maintain the crescent *spit*); and the reason why?
Because Tenet and his shitshow spawn Crapper convinced Shrub that if you give Mooses the belief that they have domain over a place, they won't destroy it.
Our national policy towards slime to this day is placation, and the instead is that it will lead to hand-to-hand combat when the balloon goes up, in our lifetime.
