This looks like a Command And Conquer cutscene.

MSNBC is GDI propaganda

Will Sliwa ever know peace?

[-] deforestgump@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

You have to love a cat lady!

You won't catch him "a-Slipwa" at the wheel

Look at how awake he is

Beret and suit and tie is such a weird look

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 52 points 1 week ago

why does it scream "war criminal" to me, I can't figure out where I got this idea

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 57 points 1 week ago

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

I mean, army guys wear berets and do war crimes

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

That style of beret = war, and suit = probable criminal.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

It's the beret making him look French

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

Party up top, business down bottom ;)

I think America is ready for the look tbh

[-] red_stapler@hexbear.net 46 points 1 week ago

This guy is like the minus world version of sankara-shining

[-] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago

I've said it once and I'll say it again, vote Mamdani and he will free Sliwa to do his eating contests in the New York area. It's the unity the world needs. Let the man competitively eat, and fund it with the defined police budgets.

Can someone explain this to someone who isn’t from the USA?

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I've never left burgerland in my life and I still have no idea who this is.

New York City Mayor Race

Eric Adams is the Mayor of NY City. He was elected as a Democrat but since pivoted right and is running again as an independent. Ex-Police chief and massive dumbass who doesn't know how to hide his corruption. Think Trump but even less coherent. He is explicitly corrupt with Turkey in particular. Like all of his international flights are through Turkish airways routing through Istanbul. Once hailed as the future of the democratic party.

  • ballot line: EndAntiSemitism!

Andrew Cuomo is the disgraced former NY State Governor who ran in the Democrat primary for NYC Mayor. But he lost in a huge upset to socialist Zorhan Mamdani. Despite losing he's still on the ballot as an independent like Adams. Also wildly corrupt but in the normal boring old school way. Son of former Governor Mario Cuomo and brother to former CNN host Chris Cuomo. Disgraced for sexually harassing his staff and killing a bunch of grandparents through mismanaging the state's COVID response. Like this guy was considered politically dead for years but NYC Dems are such a corrupt clique they couldn't think of anyone else when Adam's vacated the party.

  • ballot line: Stand and Deliver

Zorhan Mamdani is currently favored to win since winning the democrat primary usually means you win the general in a landslide. ~~He's never held office before so he's never had a chance to be corrupt.~~ (correction: he served in the State Assembly) Everyone with money is freaking out because he's a socialist and might do do something unthinkable like rent control, (or not ~~become corrupt~~ do corruption). So until november the question is who will the rich consolidate around? (He has also promised to send Netanyahu to the Hague if he ever visits New York again so that makes him an antisemite.)

Curtis Sliwa (seen above) won the republican primary basically unopposed, because no one gave a shit about the republican party in NYC until now. His only achievement is founding a vigilante street gang in the 80s (hence the red beret). He's usually a joke but with the shit show I detailed above, he's clearly thinking its his time to shine. Unlikely though, since anyone who would vote for him would vote for Eric Adams. I will admit he's demonstrating more charisma here than Adams or Cuomo.

Thank u bro

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

He's never held office before so he's never had a chance to be corrupt.

Not true, he has served as a New York State Assemblyman, people just pretend that he has no experience because he hasn't already been mayor or governor or something.

[-] spudnik@hexbear.net 28 points 6 days ago

He's gotten more votes and been elected more times than Mayor Pete ever was fwiw

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

Sorry, I will correct that.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

No worries, I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say it and it's a very silly thing for them to lie about, so I can't blame you for assuming it was true.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

In the United States, "fanny" means buttocks instead of the vulva.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 12 points 6 days ago

Oh wild. Where I live it usually is just the name of someone’s aunt.

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

All I know about red hat man is that he is a competitive eater and cat hoarder. But sadly I am not from USA either so I don't know.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

curtis sliwa, the rare man dumb enough to still perform hate crimes live on the news

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

Yet still somehow less racist than the NYT or Cuomo on Zohran
