This is the first thing that popped into my mind when I read that headline...

Two ex-mayors, Gov. Kathy Hochul and NYPD Commish Jessica Tisch stood in solidary with the Big Apple’s Jewish community at the Israel Day Parade on Sunday, while Mayor Zohran Mamdani instead spent the day touting his 2029 re-election bid — and riding his bike.
Former Mayors Eric Adams and Michael Bloomberg joined the unifying celebration along with thousands of New Yorkers on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, as did Hochul, the city’s top cop and a slew of other leaders and elected officials across the state.
Bloomberg, a staunch Israel supporter who marched in the parade for all 12 years he was in office, wore blue and white and waved the flag of Israel as he walked beside Tisch.
The crowd started chanting “We miss you, Mike!” and “Jessie for mayor!” when they saw the pair marching behind the Police Department’s banner, flanked by a cadre of New York’s Finest.
Tisch last week stood beside her boss Mamdani at a press conference about security at the event and said, “It’s the mayor’s decision not to march, and it’s my decision to march proudly.”
Adams, who also attended the parade every year of his administration and earned his own cheers for his presence Sunday, trolled Mamdani in an X video.
“At a time when antisemitism is rising across our country and Jewish New Yorkers are facing hatred, intimidation and attacks at unprecedented levels, you cannot afford silence,” Adams said in a video.
A parade-goer shouted as Adams started marching, “The real mayor is here, Mr. Adams!”

A helmet is supposed to protect one from potential brain damage.
I think we’re past that point.🚲
I’m glad he’s doing this. Maybe gravity or a bump in the road will take him out. For good.
Like I said - clown suit.
Mamdani skips Israel Day Parade to instead talk about running for re-election — just 5 months into NYC mayoral tenure
Have the New York sheep learned their lesson yet?? Bet they can’t wait for those stores to open.
No helmet ??? He better watchout... Somebody may recognize him and then run him over.
Mamdani’s absence tells us all we need to know about his ultimate trajectory. He’s an Islamofascist posing as a liberal to fool the smug and PC left. He’s a POS.
anyone who takes issue with no helmet on a bicycle is nothing but a pu**y IMHO...
The whole discussion gets thrown into to the *hit can...
Next!!
Leftist Jews have been voting democrat for decades. They don’t deserve sympathy or support until they show some inkling of self preservation.
I love those two movies and will not accept a lowlife Commie as being fit to scrub Pee Wee’s white wall tires.
Good picture, though. Maybe I’ll watch again after I finish the complete Conjuring universe movies. Picturing woke types as victims.
Then, after Mamdani accidentally(?) smashes into a Marijuana Dispensary, now operated by a BLM motorcycle club, he’ll look around and say “I meant to do that!!”
Well done!!👍
He’s a real punk!
