The Beginning of the end of New York City, once a symbol of Capitalism, once a beacon of hope for All Immigrants, once a world class city.

Was there a flag in the room?




Is your primary residence in NYC?
Why do you care what happens there since it was the voters that put him in office.

MeThinks it is because y'all maggies don't want him to ween you off the teat that NYC contributes to the Federal coffers. Originally Posted by Precious_b

how exactly is Mandami going ween away Federal tax dollars? declare NYC a "federal tax free zone"? let me know how that works out for him.


bahahahhaaaa

Another Troll thread of pretend outrage. How many times has MAGA expressed hatred of NYC, said that it was a failure already? And now they say this is the "beginning of the end." Whatta joke.

Again, are you from NYC?
I've stated in the past, repeatedly, and I *think* you agreed that if someone didn't have primary residence at a place, they have no say in what the voters there chose.

So, show us proof of residence or admit you're trolling.

I don't give a hoot. Just speculating on why those who have no say butting into stuff that ain't their say.

BUT butting in and leaving shit stains seems to be a maggie thing.

yeah it's that simple.



and you know regardless of any direct issue to Texans or not this clown will never accomplish anything as mayor except failure.

NYC and Mandami are a valid political topic regardless of where a poster lives. Yes?


here's some light reading on the topic ..



Zohran Mamdani is promising lots of things he can’t actually do

A few reasons to be relaxed about the plans of the Democratic front-runner to be New York’s mayor

https://www.economist.com/united-sta...nt-actually-do


Like many politicians running for office, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old New York Democratic mayoral candidate, is partly a fabulist. His story includes tax rises on the wealthy and businesses, free buses, free child care and a $30 minimum wage by 2030. Whether or not these are good ideas, most have as little likelihood of becoming tangible as one of Italo Calvino’s odd, enchanting, invisible cities

In one or some of the previous comments in this thread, someone asked me why I felt/thought Mamdani should had taken the oath on the Bible instead of on the Quran?


This is why:


Every person who ran for political office, whether it's city, county, state, federal, when sworn in, they are all required to take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

GOOGLE:

every person elected or appointed to a
federal, state, county, or city office is required to take an oath or affirmation to support the U.S. Constitution. This requirement is explicitly stated in Article VI, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution

Every one of those person being sworn into a federal, state, county, or city office should take the oath on the Bible because George Washington, this country's very first President, did it.

I don't care there is no legal requirement for it but it should be done because it's tradition.

Just like there is no legal requirement to eat turkey on Thanksgiving but we do it anyway every year by the 46 millions turkeys because it's tradition.

Just like there is no legal requirement to sing the National Anthem at Public Events like a Football or Baseball game but we still do it anyway because AGAIN, It's TRADITION!


Taking the oath of office, any office, on the Quran, a religious document worshipped by our enemies who are responsible for 9/11 and other terrorist attacks against the USA and against other countries around the world, is not credible for a person and for Mamdani who took the oath to

supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Well I am so glad to see that you support the freedom of religion guaranteed by the first amendment to the constitution that Mayor Mamdani has just given an oath to protect and defend.

Awwww. The little maggie playbook maneuver of trying to take higher ground by stating a slim sliver, taken from a parallex view that only accentuates their pov. Let's listen....

The Political Forum Discuss anything related to politics in this forum. World politics, US Politics, State and Local.


cite the forum guidelines that allow you decide who does or does not reply to threads?

Well, if you want me to cite guidelines, let's not do a microscopic version of them. Let's go to the abbreviation of this websites name: ESCORT COMMUNITY INFORMATION EXCHANGE.

"Become a part of one of the fastest growing adult communities online. We have something for you, whether you’re a male member seeking out new friends or a new lady on the scene looking to take advantage of our many opportunities to network, make new friends, or connect with people. Join today & take part in lively discussions, take advantage of all the great features that attract hundreds of new daily members!"


So, you just come here to be a horsefly in the PF section or are you here to exchange some info about hookers? You follow that main credo and i'll answer the subset questions....maybe just maybe WHEN you show that you can do the same.




NYC and Mandami are a valid political topic regardless of where a poster lives. Yes?

Great topics. But none that concern me and, for the lack of input, you. So our neuron-to-keyboard response don't mean squat. I'd rather listen to those that voted the guy in.

here's some light reading on the topic ..


<blah> <blah> <blah> As I said, pedal it somewhere else. Does me no good unless I move to NYC. Their will has already been stated at the ballet box.

Trivia:
At George Washington's swearing in ceremony, there was originally no bible present. A fellow rushed to the nearby Masons lodge to fetch one.
Nor was (or is) 'so help me God' a formal part of the oath of office in the Constitution's text.

Trivia on observing swearing in traditions:
Donald Trump became the first former president in over 150 years to skip his successor's swearing-in in 2021

The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, with 1.8 Billion adherents.

Most of them are friends, allies, just plain good people.

It is disgraceful, insulting, and the height of ignorance to say that this work is not "credible" and to imply that it is a tool of our "enemies."

Mandani using the Koran as a swearing-in prop is OK with me.

It tells everyone exactly who he is.
