Yet another tawdry political spectacle for us all to enjoy as another oily groveling, another bending of the knee to curry favor with the False Messiah unfolds before a jury has even been assembled. Cannot wait for the previews! If EA becomes a convicted felon, he qualifies to sit at the right hand of the Felon auditioning for a post in the coming autocracy. The ratings for The Political Apprentice show could be record breaking!
Adams is a corrupt clown. Another example of people voting against their interests. Scott Stringer and Kathryn Garcia would have been great. The fact he’s even considering running again is bonkers.
Eric Adams is a crook who should be removed from office, and would be if crime wasn't in fashion to accommodate criminals. Re-election? That should not be on the table. Why would he even think it was possible? Are we that devoid of logic and morals?
Cuomo's political troubles aren't from Progressives, they're from his inability to keep his hands to himself. So tired of "New York Liberals" who turn more MAGA than MAGA as soon as people realize they're actually criminals.
Wow, thanks for this info about NYC and its mayor. I would not have known this otherwise. This new newsletter is going to be a good source for accurate information on the plans for deportations. Welcome to the Bulwark, Adrian.
Another one to be filed under: That was then, this is now. Too bad Bob Mendez couldn't have delayed for 6 months, one can only speculate what a few of those gold bars from his closet floor could have bought him come the end of January?
Never look a gift horse in the mouth Adrian. There may not be a better example of what's to come than the Adam's/New York fiasco. Will it be a 1000 criminals booted with all the excitement of a good flash bang grenade? Or. will it be 100,000 immigrants deported that will cripple segments of the hospitality, garment and construction industries?
I doubt trump will be happy with the first scenario, but we know the man is little more than a show pony, so perhaps he'll let Adam's off cheap? Hate to be flip about the gift horse, but given your task, this one will come gift-wrapped for your analysis.
Perhaps this new interest by some Democrats in going after criminal immigrants, is a feint to ward off investigations into their own criminal behavior. Suspected Venezuelans? How about drunken sexual abusers, bribe takers, racists … felon presidents, sober sexual abusers, liars, fraudsters and other future denizens of the White House?
Can't say I'm surprised. I grew up in Queens and knew my share of crooked NYPD cops. Adams is pretty emblematic of that system and what it breeds out. Most of the people who live in that city would sell their neighbors down the river if it meant dodging a personal bullet or gaining some sense of elevation in their personal lives. So many NYCers out there chase the next income bracket and/or level of social status as a mode of life purpose. Adams is one of those types.
As I step back and try to comprehend the collapse of our “norms”, it seems that everyone’s God, is disgusted with how our society has regressed, the people we bow to, our priorities and lack of values and humanity as a whole and have decided that enough is enough, time to destroy it and rebuild it.
In the 60s we had civil rights, woman’s rights…we were moving to a society that was a race, gender, and justice tolerant society. We were progressing in our humanity. Then Nixon, Reagan, Newt Gingrich came to start a rot from within.
Donald Trump is God’s tool, to destroy the Gomorrah this country has become.
Trump is evil, he is a Petri dish of evil, bringing out the worst instincts in all he comes in contact with.
As Rome and all the great societies of history ,they are internally destroyed. We are destroying ourselves. We have made wealth our God instead of humanity.History is simply repeating itself because we haven’t learned from it.
Eric Adams is basically a Trump style person who plays the system to his advantage. Like Tulsi Gabbard he will flip and flop to the path that gains him the most advantage. They are not principle based thinkers. They are opportunists.
I'm keen to see sanctuary city status end, but not because of some corrupt deal for a pardon. I often like Adams' politics, but his personal integrity leaves a lot to be desired.
HEY thanks for mentioning the appointment of Cardinal McElroy to Archbishop of Washington, I think Pope Francis is too old and offline to "troll" in our modern sense, but this definitely feels like him sticking it to Trump and it feels so good to have it in the news that hey people, Jesus and mass deportations don't mix.......
I had a similar thought re: Pope Francis. He is definitely focusing a lot on the social justice side of Catholicism. Any stone in Trump's path............
I don’t think the judge had much of a choice really. He was convicted, and this is the best of all worlds. If the legal stuff hadn’t been delayed and delayed and delayed, there might have been a different response and the judge wouldn’t have the issue of potentially sending a former president and current president elect to jail. I do believe if Trump had lost the election the sentencing would have been different.

I'm under the impression that he is facing state charges. How does a pardon from drumpf work in that situation?

Make Prison Great Again.
I believe so.

Mayor Eric Adams, and his duplicity and double-facedness, makes one almost nostalgic for Ed Koch …

We could have had a real mayor, but no, women are too woke. Criminals are so much more preferred.

The lack of personal integrity is all you need to know, it is an existential threat.
Thank you for such an interesting post. A great addition to the Bulwark lineup.

Speaking of criminals, the soft on crime judge today sentenced Trump to nothing.

Reminds me of the Nixon pardon.
