He’s leaving because NY is planning to arrest him for additional crimes that are unpardonable.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago

Expecting him to relocate to Texas and running for one of the new gerrymandered seats there. I wish I was joking.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 month ago

I hope you aren't.

[-] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

I wish they'd fucking hurry up and grow a spine and do it already.

[-] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Politicians are strongly motivated to keep other politicians out of jail. It's their clique and you're not in it.

[-] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

I'm well aware. I'm a devout anarchist with a strong sense of justice, but I can still wishcast that our feckless leaders will actually do something while knowing that is never going to happen.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure how much impact Mamdani would have as mayor on this, but it does seem that he would be the type to do what he could to get Santos arrested, and Santos seeing the writing on the wall has decided to GTFO before that happens.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 123 points 1 month ago

They're already calling him "mayor Mamdani". Like it's a foregone conclusion and they've just given up.

[-] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

I HOPE they have given up, lmfao!!

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Mayor Mamdani has a nice ring to it.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 8 points 1 month ago

So does

ZOOOOHHHHRRRANNNNN MAAAAMMMMMDDDAAAANNNNNIIIII

emerges onto wrestling ring to mass applause

(…anybody? Am I the only one?)

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe this is a 4d chess move so that people forget about the election day?

According to MAGA, Trump is somehow protecting all of America but also isn't?

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

Whatever fits their narrative of the hour.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 24 points 1 month ago

I think his cult views it like God and Satan. So no matter how omnipotent, God wasn't able to prevent Satan from accessing Eden as a snake and tempt Adam and Eve.

IMHO those people already have been heavily brainwashed by their religion so they're willing to believe whatever fits the main narrative.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Another lemming pointed out a hypothesis that explains all this:

To some, good and evil are something you inherently are, not just something you do.

Barring some very, very specific circumstances (e.g. baptism), the die is cast. From that vantage point, it's easy to have shorthand for good/bad guys, regardless of what deeds they commit. This is where corrupt leadership and propaganda slot-in by inventing new and exciting ways to judge people.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

That's just so stupid. Nothing against you and this take, it's likely not far from the truth. But the whole concept you describe is just.. dumb..

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I love how Satan thought that Eve would've found a talking snake more trustworthy than his true form: an angel.

(Yes, I know that Satan being the snake was retconned. It's just another funny thing about Christian mythology that nobody thinks to point out.)

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Well, it's more like God likes to let Satan just do whatever, then punish everyone involved after.

The facist playbook. The enemy is both weak and very strong and dangerous. The only one that can protect us from "the others" is the facist dictator.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

facist

Why is this such a common typo? Doesn't anybody use spellcheck anymore?

So let's see

  • more affordable housing
  • better transit
  • better wages
  • childcare
  • violence prevention

God what a menace. Why would any of that be dangero.... ah " raising taxes on big corporations and the ultra-wealthy." I see.

~I gathered this from a summary, I'm not in NYC so I'm not keeping up with it~

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

No, sounds like you've got it right.

[-] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 month ago
[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

Damn, you ever have that experience where another word temporarily takes over the real word's place? I could not remember the correct word after reading that sentence. The fucking turd is attacking my brain!

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Okay, I am calling bullshit on this one. (Also, of course his children are already grown up.)

[-] parody@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yikes apparently fake indeed (needs a myusername label)

He said the first part in all caps, 7:27 PM · Oct 19, 2016

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

but he remarried ...Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket...

He also lived and stole in Brazil.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 month ago

If people don't know Gianmarco he's a hilarious up and coming comedian. He hosted Mamdani's rally recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OeiGbzTCLk

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

I've seen clips of his material all over Instagram. I was just going to say the same. His delivery is so good. I really hope he becomes the next superstar comedian. He deserves the success

[-] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Love this guy! Thanks for introducing me.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 23 points 1 month ago

I feel his tweet should have included "Because I broke the law"

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What disingenuous bullshit is this?

You can argue about majors being good or not until we die but this dude is acting as if the Shakira laws are about to be implemented with this mamdani.

Edit: sharia law, of course, thank you auto correct. Not fixing it, I guess it's funny :)

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They all are clutching their pearls because Mamdani would demonstrate that a more leftist approach could be popular. This feels threatening to the Republicans because a neoliberal milquetoast Democratic party isn't dangerous to them, and this would be.

From what I hear from people that religiously watch Fox News, that's the whole narrative. Mamdami is brown and Muslim, and all Muslims in government enact Sharia Law, therefore Mamdani will force us all to be Muslim.

The logic isn't there, but it does play into the Great Replacement theory they love so much.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Lie detectors? Ohoho no no, we're implementing the hip test. Even you, Mr. Santos, can't fool that one.

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 4 points 1 month ago

Fantastic typo!

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago
[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Well, you could always move to DC. I hear that runny orange cum dribbles freely down the chins of the proud Republicans there.

[-] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

I don't disagree, but also... So much of what he says is just such absolute bullshit that I feel like it's kind of a waste of time to even try and verify. But truth is important. But it's also a funny (ish) meme. 🤷‍♂️

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You don't disagree about what part.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Mamdani makes me want to move to NY just to vote him in.

I hope NJ gets such an incredible candidate as well. And he inspires me to try to become that candidate.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I don't understand. Can one just request to move prisons?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Please provide an archive link to Santos saying this. If you want to help out and do it for the OP, you all have a half an hour.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago
[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you. I'd appreciate it if you put it in the body of your text, but it's not necessary at this point. If you post again and it's a famous person or politician, it will need an archive link like this.

[-] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago
