Mamdani is this week's Padilla.


Speaking of Mamdani, there's also this tweet of his from 2020, during the George Floyd rioting:

Exactly what NYC needs now in a leader! Nothing like a Jihadi socialist to bring law and order to an American city.

rehajm said...

Isn’t he what a upper west side resident wants?

Leland said...

To be fair, I didn’t know who he was, until now.

RideSpaceMountain said...

He's not the candidate NYC needs right now. He's the candidate NYC deserves...a loudmouth progressive with a sense of entitlement a mile wide, just like them.

I detect a landslide.

Mary E. Glynn said...

New York City is going to elect that man. #Parity
The Jewish voices, and those of their ever-loving allies like annie mather althouse, are overrepresented in "leadship" today. Time for a change... minorities get engorged with their alleged powers and encouraged by the mama bears trying to protect the boys... Sad.

Mary E. Glynn said...

If you hate what Israel is doing to America today, you'll vote Mamdami. The old ladies like ann who think cuomo is cute and masculine are dying out daily. He won't win the city. People and mentalities change. Cuomo is no protector of the people... People want Change. Good and hard for those who led us here.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Last I heard he was doing quite well against Cuomo. All he needs to do now is whip out a palestinian flag and torch a cop car and it's a roman triumph.

Aggie said...

You don't mess with the Zohan.

How did his name get to be first on the ballot?

TaeJohnDo said...

New York City is so F'ed...

Mary E. Glynn said...

What's Bob Dylan doing today, ann?
What was it like to live in NYC back in the day?
Tell us your stories of the good old days, gramma?? lol.

wendybar said...

Not the first time. He did it in March too. He is a threat, but what do you expect from a Communist?

Lucien said...

New York, Chicago, Seattle, LA, Madison, & Minneapolis all deserve to get what they keep voting for — good and hard.

Peachy said...

It's all a show for the left's insane base.

Christopher B said...

Leland, he shares that with Padilla, too.

They need an Emir to save them from a King!

William said...

What I know about him, I don't like. However, he's personable and attractive. He has the chance of winning some votes on that basis. Alvin Bragg has the decency to be fat and ugly. You can see what you're getting with Alvin Bragg.

mindnumbrobot said...

Isn't this video from last month, or did Mamdani feel he hadn't displayed what a radical, unhinged, leftist nut he is the first time around?

AOC better up her game. She's losing ground as the face of Democrats to Jasmine Crockett and others like this goofball.

Achilles said...

Trump has correctly targeted the illegals that the blue cities are using to maintain political power. Without the inflated population numbers blue cities will lose their control over their "blue" States.

They are really just islands of Confederacy and insurrection. Billions in federal dollars flood into welfare programs based on these inflated population numbers.

This is going to have a cascade effect and the end result is States like California losing a lot more congressional seats and a lot of electoral votes.

Bob Boyd said...

The left is not about persuasion, they're about inciting the people who are already believers to go further and further.

Peachy said...

The insane democratic base is addicted to this crap.

tim maguire said...

Such a sad state of affairs that granny-killer Cuomo is the only sane choice AND being the only sane choice might actually not be enough to win!

Yancey Ward said...

What Tim Maguire said.

Peachy said...

Tim Maguire- indeed.
Blue state hell. Choice: left or lefter.
Boulder is One party rule hell. Local leftists have pocketed money thru developments...our town is not the same, building high density housing, massive CU high rises that ruin our once charming town, our small town's roads bursting with traffic, roads that are in crap condition (except the pavement near where Polis lives) ...
The democrats de-funded the police, and follow every crazed leftist diktat from on high. The leftists allowed massive drug transients to litter public spaces... crime rates thru the roof.
oh and ... just recently - On the Pearl Street Mall - a crazed Jew hating coward(D) - burned elderly Jews in public. No police presence to be found.

Big Mike said...

@tim, +1

Big Mike said...

From what I understand about Tom Homan, that stone-faced trooper saved Mamdani from a serious, very public, beat-down.

Iman said...

I recommend a well-placed shot of bear spray to quiet the hysterical socialist.

RCOCEAN II said...

Oh look, he's so wacky. He'll never get elected.

Famous last words.

Doofus.

So, no elective abortions of women retreating and trapped in prone positions, fallen and trampled, too. Close the border to Fentanyl migration and other respiratory arresting drugs. Release the murderers, rapists, pedophiles, redistributive changers, and other criminally committed. Defund the police? A queeer quandary.

Ann is not a news person (emphasis on "new" in news).
She's an activist, trolling for hits to fund her husband's toy hobbies. Her boys didn't share in these types of expenses coming up. They were content to crawl up the walls and play dress up in mommy's shoes. nttawwt.

Remember when the word finally came to Texas slaves they were free on June 19? ann doesn't really read newspapers (just her standby's from back in the day when she was young and lived in nyc). So when she hears the news, to her, it becomes "news of the week". Sad, but a lot of women had houses to run and families to raise so weren't big newspaper readers and missed a lot of current events that led us to this point in time...

May God have mercy on her.

RCOCEAN II said...

NYC has ranked choice voting. Its potential fraud x 10. And God knows when the results will be known or whether the counting was done accurately. As Joe Stalin said "What matters isn't who votes, its who counts the votes".

Younger Americans don't really care who your daddy is -- or who your mommy is for that matter either. What can YOU do? What can YOU contribute? Months old news stories and a pretty pretty mane of old unwashed white hair just don't get you as far as they once did. Nevermind the tenure, hold on tight to that pension!

RCOCEAN II said...

Rightwingers love to play "The only adult in the room" laughing at the funny Democrats as they're unreasonable and even threaten violence. haha. Look at that.

Except these people get elected. And then its no joke.

n.n said...

he'll never get elected

Newsom fiddles and Bass strums a DEIst cacophony while LA burns and burns again.

Arashi said...

What the dude needed was a contact stun device shoved in his ribs. Then the folks filming could have gotten his flopping around on the ground on video, assuring his election and NYC's destruction. Go dems.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson better prepare himself for competition in the batshit lunatic lefty mayor category, cause a new oxygen thief looks like he'll be crashing the menagerie.

n.n said...

As if one person, one vote, wasn't already an intractable, unauditable catastrophic condition with minority anomalies.

n.n said...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

He's learning that expectations are indeed black and white, and that black lives do matter as individuals, not 501c corporations.

Heartless Aztec said...

Sometimes, I think I kinda' want these guys to win. Usually it's when I've had a few and the guys are all sittin' around solving the problems of the world. I know, It's dark and twisted but I can't help myself. I want to be entertained.

gadfly said...

What is this thing about "this week's Padilla? U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was attacked by federal ICE and FBI agents when he tried to ask Kristi Noem about her lies during her heavily guarded press conference in the perfectly safe LA Federal Building. After he was pushed to the floor and was cuffed by agents who had to know who he was because he is a California Senator and he did tell the agents who he was. Interestingly, Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski, who has a live-in relationship with Noem, came rushing to Padilla's rescue, demanding that the Senator be turned loose.

I'm glad I was not in law enforcement. I would have used my baton on this motherfucker's face.

Cool. Now I support Mamdani whole-heartedly.

He wanted to see if Padilla would go back to charging at Noem and be shot.

narciso said...

yeah she shoots varmints less ill tempered than him

was this whole dog and pony show, including the memoir really about getting her this top job

MikeD said...

Even the NYT has come out against him, From what I understand the editorial was a viscous beat down.

Howard said...

The cop was the perfect example of zen like stoicism

Iman said...

Sounds like an oily beatdown that was thickly deserved, Mike D!

Deport ‘fly!!!

Lifelong New Yorker here. Nothing says gigantic NYC cluster**** like Andrew Cuomo being our best hope from the rogue's gallery of Dem mayoral candidates.

Donald Westlake is best known for his Dortmunder series of classic crime caper novels. I've read them all, over and over and over again.

But one of his best novels is "Kawaha" in which some Indian-Ugandans steal the train containing containing Idi Amin's entire coffee crop.

Those indian-Ugandans are an especially tricky bunch of people, apparently.

No savages needed on the police force. People don't want to work alongside that, especally after you've got a lil firewater in ya, squanto.

*****************************
Yeah, suddenly pushing through the crowd rushing the stage at a heavily guarded press conference is the proper way to ask a federal official a question.

There was absolutely NO NEED to stop him. SNORT

What a dope you are. You have the brain of a flatworm---a SPED flatworm at that.

Tina Trent said...

Mamdani or Cuomo. Pick your flavor of evil clown.

Iman said...

All Padilla had to do was send the questions over and ask for answers. Show Noem the same respect she would show him if she had questions requiring answers from him.

But his tears were precious… matter of fact, someone should’ve captured them as he stood at the microphone… I bet they would be sweeter than wine, ese!

We have the video, liar.

Disparity of Cult said...

The surname Mamdani is associated with Gujarati ancestry. A non-PC colleague from another part of India viewed Gujaratis as having a propensity for being sneaky cheats. I've encountered the same sentiment among East Asians.

Vonnegan said...

People on X were saying that Mamdani is yet another theater kid trying to get into government. If so, the trooper holding him back is the HS baseball player who remembers the theater kids all too well.

gadfly said...

Kristi Noem was transported by ambulance on Tuesday to a hospital in Washington, D.C., after a supposed allergic reaction, the Department of Homeland Security said. But knowing Kristi's inability to tell the truth, other possibilities exist. First of all, she may be continuing to overstep her consumption of ketamine, which she claims brought archangel Gabriel to meet with her.

She certainly altered her personality of late, running around the world playing ICE Barbie dressed in her version of a uniform, wearing excessive makeup slathered on her face and flashing expensive jewelry.

Another possibility is based upon Kristi's extracurricular affair with Corey Lewandowski, who has been accused of violence against women, first by reporter Michelle Fields at Trump National Golf Course in March 2016 and more recently by Trashelle Odom in Clark County, NV in 2021.

Kakistocracy said...

A story that leaves out key information essential to form a fair and reasonable conclusion on what really happened and who is at fault, if anyone.

Perhaps it's 'breaking news' and waiting to get more facts and a complete account of events before publishing would have lost its appeal and click-value.

It sounds reasonable to be arrested for "assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer." but if that is what really happened then it's odd to see he is released the same or next day. Also odd that there is no mention of whether he has been charged, faces legal action, or is to attend court. Surprising no lawyer involved.

No details on why he was escorting a person or how that seemingly benign and peaceful action led to a confrontation and escalation. No explanation of why he was "taken by masked agents and detained". Their actions might be considered assault and kidnapping, so perhaps there will be legal action against ICE.

The media badwagon keeps on rolling, capturing one sensation after another, but I hope those on it will look back and then inform readers so they get the full story and so a better and fuller understanding of what happened and why?
