        Ambassador.

        Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.

    The only problem I have with this is that he was providing some (admittedly minimal) dilution to the Cuomo opposition. Now Cuomo can market his gain as “increasing support” for his policies.

    In the end I don’t think it will matter, but we still are yet to hit the usual “October surprise” period so I don’t like to get cocky.

    Oh oh. It’s happening. They’re consolidating. Expect a huge October surprise. And if nothing else works, Kirking the leading candidate.

        You either laugh, or you cry. And I’m getting real tired of crying for two years, the constant panic attacks, and heart attacks at night.

    Now, watch him endorse Sliwa instead of Mamdami. What a scumbag.

      Mamdani and Sliwa are the only two adults in the race.

        I suppose Sliwa is “technically” an adult, but so am I. That doesn’t qualify me to be mayor of New York City.

            And I’m sure you would too. But that doesn’t make either of us qualified to be New York City mayor, either.

            In fact, I know well enough that I would never ever want that job. It obviously is a fucking nightmare.

    Adams’ name will still be on ballots this fall, since he exited the race after a deadline to print them.

    That’s funny. Every vote for Adams will be a mistake, as was always the case.

    I imagine that he’s currently having a cry about what stephen miller’s wife’s bagman has told him the regime wants him to do next.

    On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.

      His name will still be on the ballot, so he’ll probably leach some of the idiot vote, still.

    How did he drop “out”? Did he have some in his pocket, went the get his keys, and the whole shebang just fell at once? That’s rough, man
