Seriously, I don't see how an ex-cop from New Jersey ended up as Mayor of NYC. It seems like even Yang (maybe) would've been better. Uh, probably not. I guess police unions are even more powerful than I thought?

Did you see the shit Yang was saying when he ran? He'd be saying the same goofy shit or worse.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I was being mostly facetious when I said Yang would be better. But there were a bunch of other Democratic candidates besides these two chuds...was there seriously no better option or were people burnt out by DeBlasio's horribleness and wanted to go with something completely different? @Brooklyn Zoo ?

 

[Fall of Epic]

He has a D in front of his name. That's simply it. And the idiot running against him was the head of the Hell's Angels. Who would you have voted for?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah. I knew how he beat cat lover/friend and mentor of Ray Traylor Curtis Silwa but how did he win the Democratic primary?

 

[Fall of Epic]

My best guess is because he was an ex cop and a POC, that he would make serious strides in police reform. After the year and a half or so leading to the election, I kind of get it.

I voted for Maya Wiley first and he wasn’t in my top 3, but he ran the best campaign and people know him.

You don't hear a lot about laws RE: letting people use the bathroom that don't involve trans people a lot in 2022.

I know the delivery apps are friggin butt and restaurants hate them but it's wild that restaurants would not let drivers use the restroom before this. Even when I was drunkenly wandering around NYC, restaurants would let me run in and take a quick pee. One time I stopped to use the restroom at a pizza place near Barclays that had an autographed Heath Slater 8x10. GREAT night.

I would tell the NYC TSMers to be careful but no way any of you guys hang out in the Upper East Side unless you're going to the museums.

 

[Fall of Epic]

My best friend actually lived on the UES until a few years ago. I now only really hang out thee to go to the MET once a year or so.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well, I would avoid going out for Italian after.

Between this and all of this stupid "If your ex has an outstanding warrant, snitch on them to us this Valentines Day" posts Police Departments have made, it has been ANOTHER WEEK for American policing.

Man exiting NYC subway dies after pants are caught in Q train door

Most likely way for me to die in NYC.

 

[Fall of Epic]

I'll be taking that train this weekend. Will leave the UFO pants at home.

Don't worry if there's a nuclear blast, @Epic for the Summer and @Brooklyn Zoo ! Eric Adams and his team will text you updates to make sure you stay safe!

My grandfather was a retired NYPD cop, and his wife was telling me a story about why they hate Adams.

Apparently back in the early 90s, he was friends with a female cop. At the time, it wasn’t very common to be a woman on the force. So she got a lot of abuse. She finally decided to report them and Adams, who was high up at that point covered it up. The woman ended up leaving NYC and took a police job somewhere in upstate NY…until Adams called and had her fired.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Dude, go to a town hall and ask about her. Put him on the spot.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

she might not want that episode of hjer life dragged back up and turned into a political issue.

 

[HSJ]

Yeah, it’s not my fight and it was 25-30 years ago.

I’m good. Hope they reinstate some of the budget, though.
