US Politics, September 2024 -- “I’m Not Going to Apologize For Posting a Joke”

she's monitoring events on the ground, and hopes to make some remarks shortly, but urges all players to adhere to the international rules of law, while preserving innocent civilians' sense of dignity and self-determination

guessing she does not believe in lebanon's right to defend itself

VP Harris urges restraint, but reminds us that we must not be shackled by what has come before

disappointed that the poll didnt literally ask if the usa is dying empire lead by bad people

"Do you agree that Jonah Hill has outlived his usefulness?"

those numbers could still be totally valid, but indications are that the vibe has shifted somewhat since last May.

yeah idk

dont know if you guys have been following the saga of this freak but looks like the inevitable is upon us

NEW: NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted. https://t.co/e6qytFDbqk

— Michael Rothfeld (@mrothfeld) September 26, 2024

people been predicting this is how it would end for him before his first day on the job

not everyone

It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

He's apparently the first NYC mayor to ever be criminally charged? Surprising.

yeah thats crazy, he was doing an old school kind of corruption thats just not tolerated anymore like if this were 1975 or 1875 everything would be cool, but he just wasnt up on the latest stuff taking a no show job on wall st after leaving office

I forgot who, but saw someone tweet "congrats to the US Attorney for the SDNY" the exact moment the Eric Adams primary was called and man have I thought about it a lot since then

wonder what percentage Nate's model had for an indictment

@ tipsy - past hyper-corrupt NYC mayors have typically resigned and/or fled to Mexico before the feds completely closed in.

Wonder if there's a 3rd bunk in that cell where they have Diddy and SBF.

Sometimes, the primary voters are wrong and you know they’re wrong in real time

People were so happy to not vote for Yang they just literally picked randomly

the hits keep coming

Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?

lmao that contraband video is INSANE

he is an honest to goodness loon

can't wait for david simon and george pelecanos to get an hbo series going off of this

i know everything reminds me of On Cinema but this has some real Trial of Tim Heidecker potential

Important Eric Adams post

https://bsky.app/profile/brendelbored.bsky.social/post/3k4wn4ar47j2g

It’s the one that says

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

lol what are the odds that Adams wouldn't do this in exchange for a Trump pardon?

Nightmare scenario unleashed is a 270-268 electoral college and Eric Adams faithless elector to 269-269 lmao https://t.co/dusDTXiDo5

Hell Gate has the UNSEALED INDICTMENT against Mayor Eric Adams. We're sharing it here.

Bribes from foreign nationals, straw donations, and defrauding the city's public matching funds program.

WILD.

We've dropped the paywall. https://t.co/w5Xfv3kgfE

"The Indictment of Eric Adams"
(a poem)

Why does he care?
He is not going to pay
His name
will not be on anything
either

Once again the Four Seasons plays a hilarious role in American politics.

whoopsie

This is some Leslie Nielson-like shenanigans

I’m already seeing takes from panicked friends on Facebook about how this hurts Harris an I’m like “could you for once have like even an ounce of chill”

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GYaRHpybUAAkLE_?format=png&name=medium

amazing how small time this shit is the mayors got layovers in istanbul every flight, police commissioner is shaking down bar owners, theres got to be a better way

I guess the media gets to do their "On the one hand Mark Robinson, on the other hand Eric Adams" stories now

Actually let me amend that, the person in question is also lamenting Robinson and saying that white people will use that against Harris, to which I again say “like even an iota of chill, it would be great”

not to get all pundit brain but the robinson situation is a huge win for harris
