Bill de Blasio is officially the 109th mayor of New York City. I say officially because, in reality, he’s New York’s first mayor.
The first mayor who doesn’t care about the city.
Not all his predecessors were above average, but de Blasio stands out for his indifference. Nothing makes him tick.
Gotham, the closest thing our nation has ever had to the shining city upon a hill, is in a sharp and obvious downward spiral. With dizzying speed, more than two decades of prosperity and public safety are crashing to a halt.
Persistent warnings that the bad old days were coming back were accurate, but in vain. The bad old days are here.
Violent crime is soaring, the homeless are everywhere, empty storefronts proliferate and people are fleeing neighborhoods that were safe six months ago.
And de Blasio shrugs.
A toddler get killed by stray gunfire and he says it’s “not acceptable.” For weeks, he blamed the rise in crime on the court system, then denied he said what he repeatedly said.
Now he blames the dramatic rise in murder and gunplay on the coronavirus and the weather, but says not to worry. He assured reporters the situation will “turn around” thanks to the police and because “summer will be over soon.”
He gets the worst possible press, his staff demonstrates against him and aides leave with a blast at his woeful work habits.
He rarely responds, apparently anesthetized to criticism. Even mockery doesn’t arouse him.
This could charitably be laid to a belief he marches to his own drummer. In truth, it’s because there’s no there there.
He’s so bad that critics have run out of words to describe how bad he is.

Communist leaders seem to enjoy sitting on their throne and watching the suffering around them. I imagine it makes them feel like they are a god.
they misspelled antipathy in the title...
NYC may be the strongest liberal example out there and could be thereupon Biden does not get elected.
White wigger mayor who because hes married to a black women he feels their pain and assumes hes black too. Hes an idiot, a disgrace and needs to be recalled
Cool conspiracy theory: DeBlasio torches the city. Real estate prices tank. Bezos and company buys out cheap property, and voila, monopoly on New York for all eternity.
Thoughts?
I’d never thought anyone would be worse than Dinkins but dayum.
Apathy? From my vantage point it looks more like antipathy. Rather than not caring either way, I think his antics display a visceral HATRED for NYC. As though he’d run and campaigned to be elected mayor with the intention that, if elected, he’d do everything in his power to RUIN the Big Apple. And he appears to be succeeding.
2/3 of the voters in NYC favored reelecting this clown. They knew what he was, let them stew in it.
And yet he was comfortably re-elected.
so we’re told...IMHO MOST Democrat elections are won on the fraud
If so, their monopoly will be over a city where all the producers, culture and civilization are gone, and they are left to manage the increasing number of poor, homeless and insane. Doesn’t seem like a good plan.
At some level, I see De Blasio as an agent of God’s judgement. That’s why he can’t be deterred. A misguided, confused but decent man would eventually see his errors, but De Blasio is absolutely convinced in his destructive impulses. If God’s intent is to chastise, who better to carry it out?
Sounds like fertile ground for the resurgence of the Mafia to me.
Didn’t NYC elect this guy twice?
Apathy? I would say hatred for the people.
There are 8.5mil people in nyc of which 5mil are voters. Deblasio received only 726k votes!! He won because of apathy of nyc voters. Only 2nd Dem since Koch to win a second term.
Apathy?!
How about downright hatred.
Wilhelm DeBozo is just an overgrown dimbulb who never understood the place he lives in.
Why are all these people going somewhere, doing things? It’s all so confusing!
DeBozo is a clueless thug, running a gang scam to live high on the hog, which is the only way a braindead buttwipe like himself can figure out how to live like that.
“He’s so bad that critics have run out of words to describe how bad he is.”
Words escape me as to how bad New York voters are.
Amen to that.
