DemocRATs looking out for the little guy.

[SMARTY]

Greedy, unprincipled, selfish, traitorous, corrupt, stupid...tell me when to stop!

[econjack]

This is the least of NYC’s problems. At least this was done above the table. The really messy stuff is taking place under the table.

[Gnome1949]

As always, all communist “comrades” are equal but a few are MORE equal than others and vote themselves the EXTRA LOOT they believe they deserve for being “the smartest commies in the room.”

Even though the insanity and corruption in Democrats runs deep, it’s a
rare occurrence to actually see them paint themselves into a corner........

Fun stuff.

[hal ogen]

LOL.

Observing NYC is like watching maggots squirm in rotting meat.

[MtnClimber]

There is something about big cities that brings out the worst in people. At least many people.

[butlerweave]

Mamdani probably plans to add all the freeloading muslims in NYC to the city’s payroll ,LOL

[Robert DeLong]

Liz Wheeler on the SDA to better understand what is taking over the Democrat Party.

For as deep as the insanity and corruption in Democrats run, it’s a rare occurrence that we actually see them paint themselves into a corner—somehow, no matter how vile they are, they’re almost always able to squeak on out of whatever trouble they’ve gotten themselves into…but I’m thinking that lucky streak has just come to a glorious end.

This is perhaps one of the most grammatically-awful sentences I've ever read.

[mewzilla]

Neither NYS nor NYC can print money.

Here’s hoping both are about to find that out the hard way.

[Paladin2]

Public Servants.

When do servants get to vote themselves a raise?

[sauropod]

Bkmk

[unixfox]

Isn’t Communism great.

[volare737]

No problem, just raise taxes.

[BAN-ONE]

Thank you for sharing.
I was mostly ignorant concerning the DSA radicals and this aligns/fits a few pieces of the puzzle.

[logi_cal869]

That works.

Well done!

[Doctor Congo]

Mamdani is definitely going to look at how he can cut their pay in half after this shenanigan.
He might even cut his own pay in half to look good, he’s already megarich.
