‘It’s bad’: Eric Adams admits being ‘shocked’ by the sorry state of NYC
NY Post ^ | 6-27-22 | Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding

Mayor Eric Adams had no idea how rotten the Big Apple was at its core before taking office — telling The Post he was “shocked” to learn just “how bad this place is.”

During an exclusive interview conducted as Adams rode the subways overnight for more than three hours last week, the former NYPD transit cop said he was astounded by the botched “deployment of resources” that has New Yorkers on edge amid a nearly 40 percent surge in major crimes this year.

“Let me tell you something: When I started looking into this, I was shocked at how bad this place is,” he said of the city.

Adams — who campaigned on a promise to restore order to an increasingly lawless Gotham — said the scales fell from his eyes when he began reviewing internal city operations following his swearing in moments after midnight on New Year’s Day.

These people run for office for the paycheck. Few politicians give a damn about anything other than their salary and retirement benefits.

True.

And the extra off the books benefits that make all the difference to all politicians locally and in DC.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his father and mistress were behind a fortune in pay for play, kickbacks, siphoned money intended for the needy children in the city and more. Convicted and imprisoned. And only one city's example after decades of national corruption.

....lying or stupid.....

Hate to have to choose.

Imagine his subway ride. His armed aides in suits tell all the homeless and drug dealers and mentally deranged riders to “just act normally so the Mayor can size up the situation when he boards the subway with us.”

And on his evening ridealongs:
Mayor: “Uh, I had no idea so many of the criminals carjacking, stabbing old ladies, pulling women joggers over to rape them and making drug deals at school yards were, they were, uh, persons of color. A wake up call.”

When I was young, I wanted to go to New York. Then I grew up.

Later I said I would only go if they got rid of all the people. New York City is full of nothing but assholes.

Manhattan: trash piled high on every street and sidewalk, homeless crackheads and heroin addicts everywhere - a real vibrant center of the universe.

Takashimaya Times Square Tokyo makes Times Square Manhattan look like a third world trash heap.

This is what happens when you replace hard working European descent people with people from the third world. There is a reason the third world is the third world and it is not the lack of resources.

have you ever actually BEEN there?

Over decades, unwillingly of course, with a few breaks in between.

The problem is that morons like Adams - almost every Democrat mayor in the USA - has no critical thinking skills that would help them reach the conclusion that it is Democrat ideology/policy/philosophy that has ruined his city. And there is not much hope for them every waking up. Washington D.C. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Seattle (my home town). Baltimore. Chicago. New Orleans. The list goes on and on and on. All cities destroyed by Democrats.

It’s easy to fix, in theory.
Just fix the corruption.

Yeah he’s admitting that he’s so isolated in his own little bubble that he had no idea that the city that he was running to be mayor of was that bad.

Deep State doesn’t hire the front office appearance types for brains.

And RCV was shoved down NYC’s throat for good reason.

Note to Gothamites: Want your city back? See my tagline.

Yeesh. I was THERE. I was all over that island for six years. It’s just not so.
