The lights went out on Broadway Saturday night, and Bill de Blasio was a thousand miles away in Iowa. It was the moment that perfectly captured his distracted, ego-driven failure of a mayoralty.
Bill de Blasio does not care about New York City. He does not care about its people. He does not care about how it’s run. He does not care about you or your taxes, creating jobs or improving lives. All Bill de Blasio cares about is Bill de Blasio.
And so, for the good of the city, Gov. Andrew Cuomo needs to remove the mayor from office.
Let’s face it: It’s only by accident de Blasio is mayor in the first place. Without Anthony Weiner’s onanistic implosion, the Campaign Finance Board’s sidelining of rival lefty John Liu, or the support of one peculiar, but well-funded, constituency — people who hate carriage horses — de Blasio would probably be calling for a socialist uprising on Community Board 6.
But there he was suddenly in charge of your money. And boy, did he spend it. He paid off the unions with generous contracts, expanded the taxpayer-funded workforce and poured cash into pet projects. Thanks to the success of Wall Street and real estate, he never lacked for funds, never had to make any tough budget choices...
He couldn’t show up on time. For anything.
Every day, he drags himself out of bed at the crack of 10, has himself driven to the other side of town so he can do a halfhearted couple of minutes on the elliptical, and then maybe goes to City Hall. Of late, even that is optional. He goes back to Gracie Mansion to hold meetings about running for president...

They voted for him, they’re stuck with him.
Why?
He is exactly what NYC voted for.
When I checked....He was waiting for info so he could decide.
This caveat goes for most politicians. Any party.
“Let’s face it: It’s only by accident de Blasio is mayor in the first place. “
oh... none of it was an accident.
Don’t expect whomever would replace him to be any better.
Hamtramk Michigan deserves him, not New York. They are all full of themselves, but this guy has no substance. He’s nothing but a self-loathing White-hating opportunistic marxist.

The voters in NY know exactly what they’re getting. My family left in 1964. What’s left is disgusting. I always thought a new ice age should come and a mile high sheet of ice would scrape NYC clean.
Ping.
Slow learners in NYC?
If there was only a common thread...
NYC is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
Baltimore is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
Chicago is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
LA is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
SF is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
Portland is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
Seattle is a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.
The white Dinkins. All he needs is the murder rate
Havana called. They want their mayor back.
I blame the voters.
He makes John Lindsay look competent in comparison.
Garbage In, Garbage Out.
If the N.Y. Post wants to get rid of him, he might not be so bad a guy. Their cries of agony are music to my ears.
Is that even possible? I was not aware a governor of a state could remove a mayor from office.
