Got it!; 10/23/25, 10:52 AM
Humperdink said...: Too late. The smoothness of Mamdami, the 2025 version of Obama, has already overwhelmed the gullible NYC electorate; 10/23/25, 10:53 AM

Eric Adams is a Black Democrat. White left mafia ruined him.; 10/23/25, 10:59 AM

Bob Boyd said...: It's a ball of snakes...unhappy snakes determined to be the last snake in ball.
Cobras have the advantage when it comes to being the last snake standing.; 10/23/25, 11:01 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: Sad to hear it. I'm rooting Mandingo, purely for the entertainment. Plus, maybe, just maybe, he'll help the poor and working class in the NYC. Although I'm not hopeful.

But whatever. Pass the popcorn.; 10/23/25, 11:04 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: Astounding how the D's turned on Adams. Biden corrupt DOJ tries to jail him, and once Trump rescues him, they blackball Adams and go with Cuomo. They should have just stuck with Adams.; 10/23/25, 11:05 AM
Peachy+2 said...: RC Cola - you like Mandigo because he's solid share in your hatred of Israel. Bonus is a squinty eyed commie.; 10/23/25, 11:06 AM

Temujin said...: New Yorkers are about to get exactly what they've been lining up to get for years, and suddenly some of them are panicking that it's really going to happen. They're about to jump off the deep end of a long pier. Not enough lifejackets in that city to cover the upcoming damage.; 10/23/25, 11:08 AM

RideSpaceMountain said...: @Boyd,

Cobra, cobra
Please eat me last!
Or at least wait until my time is past
Of the other snakes?
Please eat your fill
If your belly's full
It's only time you'll kill
You shan't be tamed
Nor overpowered
But I shan't be maimed
Or devoured
If I close my eyes will you go away?
And my ignorance keep you at bay?
But those other snakes
Better say their prayers
I got mine
Zohran can go eat theirs; 10/23/25, 11:12 AM

Leland said...: Let's see. Per this press release: Trump negotiated the Biden era CHIPS and Science Act funding to go to Intel in return for stock rather than just giving Intel money. That return stock was 433.3 million shares at $20.47/share.

Intel is currently trading at $37.31. That's about $7 billion profit since... August 22nd. The total investment was only $11.1 billion. At this rate, Trump could build a new ballroom in every state by the end of the year without appropriating any additional money from Congress.; 10/23/25, 11:18 AM
Leland said...: Do you get to pretend it isn't socialism by simply saying "it is only industry regulation" rather than it being actual socialism because you bought stock in a company with an agreement that the voting shares will go along with whatever the board agrees and the government doesn't get a seat on the board?

Is that what Mamdani is promising, DD Driver? You seem to be an expert in socialism.; 10/23/25, 11:26 AM

Where's Rikki-tikki Tavi when we need him?

"Rikki-tikki put his paws one on each side of the egg, and his eyes were blood-red. “What price for a snake’s egg? For a young cobra? For a young king cobra? For the last—the very last of the brood? The ants are eating all the others down by the melon bed.”; 10/23/25, 11:32 AM

Howard said...: Personally, I think Mangina is the best choice over Andrew Cuomo. Reality is an unforgiving teacher. How much worse could he be than cynical cronie Cuomo capitalism? Maybe the Big Apple needs to hit rock bottom before the ship can wright itself. Maybe the red diaper doper baby (h/t Michael Savage) can pull it off. He seems like an expedient flip flopper.; 10/23/25, 12:09 PM
Howard said...: Real Men are bullish on America. Look whom we have leading all branches of the Federal government and most of the several states. Why Iman has no faith is likely due to his Dunlap belly induced hypogonadism.

It's morning in America with the best yet to come!!!; 10/23/25, 12:14 PM
BudBrown said...: Thing is, checking Wikipedia, NYC mayoral election voter turnout is usually a bit over 1 million. I suppose since the Dem candidate is sure to win most people don't bother voting. Vote in the Dem primary was a bit over a million. A Dem primary rematch. If Cuomo can get a couple hundred thousand of his primary supporters, he can win. Curious to see if this race has a larger than usual turnout.; 10/23/25, 12:21 PM
BudBrown said...: Maybe the 250,000 Dem primary voters who don't bother voting in the general will show up this time.; 10/23/25, 12:23 PM
RideSpaceMountain said...: Mamdani's no Idi Amin and if that's the best Ugandan a billionaire can buy he's an economics textbook case of 'diminishing returns'. But hey, "The Snake" could still surprise us with his own take on Escape From New York.; 10/23/25, 12:29 PM
Yancey Ward said...: What Howard wrote at 12:09- New York needs to hit rock-bottom and Mamdani is the best way to reach that nadir. The just outcome for Cuomo is being intubated and put in a coma until he dies in a Canadian nursing home.; 10/23/25, 12:36 PM
Lazarus said...: "A snake and a liar"?

I guess in politics that does count as an endorsement, but it's nothing we didn't already know about Cuomo.; 10/23/25, 12:48 PM
Lazarus said...: Are people online calling Mamdani an "Islamist" because it's scarier than saying "socialist" or "Communist"?

I thought so, but danged if he doesn't look an awful lot like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.; 10/23/25, 12:50 PM
Iman said...: “Real Men are bullish on America.”

Known Unknown said...: Mamdani will win. Like him or not, he's run the best campaign. His grocery-store design vernacular is head and shoulders about anyone else running. He took a public bus to a debate. He's probably a terrible idea for New York, but no one in New York knows that or seems to really care.; 10/24/25, 9:31 AM
