Yes, I know Allahpundit wrote about this last night, but this is one candidacy I can’t keep my mouth shut on. I’ve been covering New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for a long time now and up until this point, I’d always assumed that his presumed flirtations with a presidential run were more of a ploy to simply raise his national profile in the Democratic Party. I never thought he was actually going to do it. And yet, here we are.
So as Hizzonor embarks on what has quickly become the most mocked and ridiculed presidential bid in modern history, let’s take a brief walk down memory lane. Leave aside for the moment how comically inept he has been as mayor. Forget about his endless stream of wacky ideas like eliminating skyscrapers in the Big Apple. We can even skip over that time he murdered the groundhog. Let’s just get straight to the corruption.
He made his announcement in the same week that two men literally pleaded guilty to bribing him and are going to prison.
But they weren’t the only ones. Harendra Singh pleaded guilty to bribing the Mayor last year. Jona Rechnitz had already made the same plea deal in 2017.
Of course, questionable handling of the public purse seems to run in the family. His wife made almost a billion dollars disappear for a mental health program that delivered basically zero results and where nobody seems to have kept track of the money.
Or shall we talk about Jeremy Reichberg and the private jet with hookers onboard heading for Vegas?
Bill de Blasio managed to get himself elected mayor in what is very likely the only place in the country where he could attract any votes from people not sharing his last name. And he immediately set to work figuring out ways to get around the city’s campaign finance laws. In that, at least, he was stunningly successful. Under his leadership, the mass transit system has turned into a dysfunctional, urine splattered mess. His bungled management of the New York City Housing Authority has left thousands of residents in apartments without heat or power for months on end. (The NYCHA is now in federal receivership because it financially collapsed.)
If he wants to talk about education as a campaign promise, ask him about his “Renewal Schools” program. That gem was supposed to turn around the city’s failing schools and advance educational opportunities for minority students. After flushing more than $750 million into it, the program was abandoned with no measurable results.
This guy basically has the opposite of the Midas Touch. Everything he gets his paws on almost invariably turns to crap. And now he wants to run for President? Even I’m not foolish enough to hope that the Democrats would hand Trump a second term by nominating this guy. Go home, Bill. You’re drunk.
Say what you want about this doofus, but he DID successfully “turn” a lesbian. Not many guys have accomplished that particular feat. LOL. (Not that we’d all necessarily want to “turn” his particular dyke).
I don’t think you can use the term “train” out of respect for those gals seeking the presidency who have slept their way to there current positions. But they I probably should not use the word “positions” for the same reason.
Bill Deblasio is to Donald Trump in what Ross Buckingham is to Howard Stern. “I’ve done some summerstock!”. Mr. Charisma needs to give it up, before he gets crushed.
76% of NYC citizens told a pollster the Mayor really should not go down the 2020 road.
He won the mayor’s seat with 72% of the vote....after he had the number tattooed on his wife’s a**
to double the thrill, DiBlobbio began making plans for the presidency.
But, Pray Tell, Where Does De Blasio Get The Money For His Eternal Presidential Campaign Trips?
NEWS CLIP BY Marcia Kramer, CBS News, April 5, 2019 / FR Posted by EinNYC
.....ethical questions are being raised about where he’s getting all the money to fund his cross-country presidential campaign trips.“On The Road Bill,” the mail-it-in mayor of New York City has been galloping all over the country to test the presidential waters with a suspicious campaign cash box that’s raising lots of eyebrows. “To me, that’s a real no-no,” Betsy Gotbaum of the Citizens Union said. Gotbaum is questioning how de Blasio is raising money for his “Fairness PAC” – the political action committee that is allowing the mayor to dream about running the country.“Is it the appearance of something wrong?” CBS2’s Marcia Kramer asked .......
REALITY CHECK—De Blobbio gave his wife $850 million tax dollars for (cough) mental health projects.
But the two imbeciles can’t (or wont) account for the 41 programs (money laundries) supposedly spending staggering amounts of tax dollars......
Blobbo and his fashion-flop wife enter GMA studios.
This is who greeted them
