The NY Post says: It’s time to fire Mayor de Blasio
NY Post ^ | July 14, 2019 | Post Editorial Board

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...

What do you have against the NY Post, one of the more conservative daily newspapers in the country?

That depends on the Constitution and laws of the state in question:

Homeless are openly pissing in the midtown streets. The place smells like urine. To cops in sight.

Translated: American cities are a cesspool of leftwing communists & leftwing racists.

To make America great again, the cities and most of their people must be destroyed. Those people are not Americans

There can be no co existence. Them or us...... that’s the alternative

I think you're confusing the NY Post with the Washington Compost.

The NY Post is one of the more conservative daily papers in the country.

While the Washington Post is one of the most liberal.

Embrace the suck, NYC.

Term limited. That’s why he’s taking a shot at the presidency which he has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

Hooboy. If you’re reduced to “Andrew Cuomo, save us now!” you’re pretty much hosed. And Communists don’t resign.

I have a lot of friends who don’t vote - ever. But they are always complaining about the Government. De Blasio is the result. Plus the idiot Bartender who won with a few thousand votes.
