Hopefully the new mayor will make major blunder after major blunder and the Republicans will use him on campaign ads in the 2026 Congressional campaigns.

Comrade DiBlasio spent two terms not doing most of those things very well while giving his wife almost a billion dollars that are still unaccounted for. Mandami is not going to be bothered by such trivialities like governing. He will instead focus on his three priorities: (1) Attacking President Trump (2) Wrecking as much as he can—free buses, turning the NYOD into social workers, taxing businesses—as quickly as he can and (3) Turning the 25th anniversary of 9/11 into a Muslim celebration.

In socialism, they kill you and take your property.

In democratic socialism, they vote to kill you and take your property.

Trump, the wolf, is licking his lips at the thought of tearing this simple prey apart piece by piece...

I’d bet that Trump will tell him (tongue in cheek) that he’ll finance Mandamni’s run in the 2029 election against the CA fag...

Atlantic is a very left publication, but even they know that this guy is now the FACE of the democrat party and it will be a disaster for them.

NYC exists because the federal government looks the other way and subsidizes its corrupt polices

As soon as that stops, NYC stops

Mamdani does not care because he is the Democrats new celebrity stealth candidate being groomed for the 2028 presidential election

His job in NYC is to become a media sensation that elevates him to national recognition as the anti Trump

He does not expect to be in office for long

He will be on mayor in 2026 and start his run for President in 2027

This is the New Democrat strategy

Find a charismatic, attractive young candidate with no track record, elevate them to national recognition and run them for high office while they are media fabrications with no track record of failure to attack

It worked for Obama and there are millions of female voters just dying to vote for this guy

OPs don’t post paywall-bypassed versions of articles

It sure helped me. I hate these leftist outlets that make you subscribe to read their usually useless articles.

the Free Republic consent decree

What's that?

Free Republic got sued for posting full articles. The consent decree settling the lawsuit stipulates a limit of 300 word excerpts and no links to paywall-bypassed articles.

It’s really not that hard to figure out how to bypass them yourself. Search engines are your friend.

I’m still in a state of shock that anyone, except for jihadis, would vote for Mamdani, especially Jews. Teachers unions, you have done your job well! Your indoctrination worked! Of course, you couldn’t have accomplished it with the help of the msm! I’m sure all parties concerned (except for the victims) are revelling in their success. Me, I feel slightly sick to my stomach and broken hearted to see how dark the world has become.

Yep. And he should. But to what end? Folks who listen to Trump won’t be supporting Mamdani anyway.

The key, I think, is the mainstream media. They will certainly minimize - or even completely ignore - Mamdani’s mistakes early on.

But perhaps those mistakes (and his outright evil) will eventually become too big to ignore.

And now it’s time for a bit of good news. Mamdani was born in Uganda. And it’s too late for him to pretend otherwise.

So he’s not eligible for the presidency.

That's a war which Mamdani has absolutely no chance to win. Mamdani starts out challenging Trump, and will end up with a few bunker buster bombs disintegrating his bolsteri

I don't know how much in federal funding NYC gets but I think we can almost guarantee this is going to end.

“affordability” for whom? His islamic BFFs? We’re talking about NY City, there’s is nothing affordable in NY City. Should be interesting to see him try to keep, if ever, his campaign promise. Islam preaches again taxation of islamics. So who’s he going to raise taxes on? The Jewish citizenry of course.

the quickest way to collapse socialism is for everyone to get ‘free’ stuff, apply for everything, food, housing, etc and collapse the government...
