Bloomberg: What the hell is his problem?

For what it's worth, most barmaids I know don't support the potential bars-included ban in NYC, because more customers nipping outside for a smoke = less customers inside tipping the barmaids.

(not saying that i like this regulation myself ... since i smoke like a chimney ... but it's probably constitutional)

but hey, i was too stupid to go to Columbia Law or Harvard Law, so cut me some slack ;-p

I mean obviously being a song and dance fancy boy like Giuliani doesn't mean you're going to be a good mayor at all but it certainly is more entertaining.

i got the flu.

Most uncomfortable Bloomie moment: When the NFL had the season kickoff party in Times Square and Bloomie went out to the drunk crowd, who had just been grooving to Bon Jovi, to rile them up more. He was stiffer than [penis joke] in a [penis joke]!

(I'm sick too. My girlfriend's got it way bad, though.)

= GREATEST MAYOR EVER IN HISTORY! I never thought of him that way but that's exactly how I'd do things to, I'd be all like, fuck you all, I don't care what you gotta say, I pity the fool who thinks I care what you gotta say, then I'd be all doing things.

Except I wouldn't ban dancing, that's silly. The man can't hate fun though - the drag!

Manon Lescaut is officially a book for assholes, stop talking about it.

what is manon lescaut?

yeah, altho he didn't think of it. Chicago had a 311 line at least 2 years before NYC.

Bloomberg sucks because he hates ice cream and puppies.

not saying i'll vote for him (not saying i won't either), but term limits suck

yah theyre completely undemocratic

if i didn't think so, i might have more of a problem with his making a push as a sitting mayor in a 'crisis' context

would i feel the same if we still had giuliani? uhhh.

yes, term limits suck, and yes, Reagan's corpse wd still be prez if we didnt have em.

^^only if the 22nd Amendment allowed for zombie presidents instead of imposing a term limit Morbs

Tom Bradley was mayor of L.A. for about 734 years, and even though I didn't dislike him as mayor, there's this "too settled" thing about not having term limits that tends to rot after a while, whether you like the mayor or not.

In the United States, term limits on executives are absurd. Bloomberg has been an excellent technocrat for a city that was in desperate need for one. Hopefully he’ll win a third term and create even a larger precedent for future mayor’s.

hey, that was kinda funny, morbs

if we hadn't had term limits, we might not have gotten bloomie in the first place

term limits alternate between seeming like a good idea and like a bad idea every 8 years or so.

i have always thought term limits were a bad idea, even if i am thankful that they foreclosed the theoretical possibility of another Giuliani or Bush term

petition vs the City Council overruling the vote on NYC term limits, if that's your view:

http://www.ItsOurDecision.org

not my view

we knew.

Let's have the fucking anti-free speech billionaire stay cuz there's a "crisis" caused by his breed.

"We've gotta protect our phony baloney jobs, gentlemen!"

there's a "crisis" caused by his breed

Bloomberg hasn't been a banker since 1981, and I don't believe he's ever been involved with mortgage-backed securities. He ran a technology and media company, and for the last dozen years, he's also operated one of the largest philanthropies in the country.

thinking that there are plenty of stupid laws and that the soda law was one of them doesn't make you a libertarian. the soda law struck me as arbitrary and dumb in the same way you can't buy alcohol on sundays in some states

Wait, what's he doing in Bermuda?

it's amazing what they were able to keep in the closet about Bloomberg's personal life...he wasn't going to Bermuda every weekend to play golf, if you know what I mean...

I think we all know what it means not to play golf.

ive heard all those whispers, but his gf never seemed like the beardo type

which of these guys is most thrilled to be near the other three?

Bloomberg has explicitly argued that “our interpretation of the Constitution” will have to change to give citizens less privacy and the police more power to search and spy on them. In fact, he does not seem to believe that certain people have innate civil rights that the state must respect. If the NYPD wanted to spy on Muslims, even if they lived outside New York City, solely because of their religion or ethnicity, Michael Bloomberg thought it was a great idea. And as Jack Shafer recently pointed out, his dedication to ensuring submission began before he was an elected official—when he was the boss at a company notorious for its tyrannical treatment of employees.

Bloomberg’s three victorious mayoral election campaigns are depressing evidence that a substantial number of Americans are amenable to authoritarian politics and uninterested in protecting civil liberties. So long as the person overseeing the police state claimed to be surveilling people for their own good, it was easy to turn a blind eye, especially if the surveillance was concentrated in certain neighborhoods. ...

I genuinely don't know if Bernie can win the general, but I feel confident that Bloomberg would lose it. I'm upset by his entry into the race. He's a spoiler.

He is exactly the worst of both worlds -- he will dampen enthusiasm among the democratic base, but he also wants to come after your guns and soda and vape pens.

thread worth reading, this dude is almost as terrible as Trump is

What 2020 Presidential contender said the following?
- "I'd fuck that in a second,"
- "I’d do that piece of meat…”
- “If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s”
- Called women: “fat broads” & “horse-faced lesbian.”

he also wants to come after your guns and soda and vape pens spy on yr Muslim ass.

I don’t like to dunk on my short kings (hell I’m barely 5’9”) but fuck this elf

this asshole is in my state today and apparently a lot of prominent Dem politicians here are backing him. clap real good for Daddy Mike and maybe he'll toss you a tasty million or two bucks as a treat.

"5'4" mass of dead energy." Say what you will about Trump, but his game is still strong.

wishing for an asteroid for each of em

from that list of Bloomberg quotes

"If I were a woman, I would wear high heels."

of course you would, dude, you're super short and probably have considered it anyway

Trump otm?

I'm not sure I would actually vote if Bloomberg was the nominee? I guess I would because of the Supreme Court, but there is a 50-50 chance Bloomberg selects a Federalist Society ghoul anyway.

Actually I doubt that. He's a Republican at heart, but he's not a FedSoc Republican.

bloomberg > trump just for the climate stuff. but yeah

I will of course show up at the polls for him if it comes to that. Hell, I'd canvass for him if he was the nom, but does he even have volunteers? I feel like he probably just has an army of Boston Dynamics robots that go door to door for him.

to posit the possibility of a Bloomberg nomination is defeatism, you pikers

God, Trump would clown Bloomberg in a debate so bad. People that don't know Bloomberg well should check out clips of him doing dumbass everyday political stuff like opening a sports arena or honoring someone famous. He is so bad at that shit and has no charisma.

Bloomberg is a remarkably poor public speaker. if he actually has to start talking his numbers will tank harder than Biden's

I didn't have much exposure to his speaking voice until recently but he really does have that patrician, speaking-down-his-nose-at-the-plebes tone nailed down.

bloomberg's 'actually, rich new yorkers are laughing at you' is exactly why people fucking vote for trump

Wait till you hear him speak Spanish

Bloomberg at his second event today in NC: Trump “calls me little Mike. My answer is Donald, where I come from we measure height from the neck up.”

Would imagine that Trump is taller by that measure also

My answer is Donald, where I come from we measure height from the neck up.

God, I hate bullies and I want to give Bloomberg a wedgie.

it's interesting to see Trump spend his energy attacking the guy he'd have the easiest time beating while defending the person most likely to defeat him but that's how his brain works.
