Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don't deserve to have their good name compared to cops.
Pigs are cute too
No one in NYC likes him other than landlords. Republicans hate him because he's black. Leftists hate him because he's a landlord cop who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.
Good riddance, the next in line is an actual leftist if he steps down
the next in line is an actual leftist if he steps down
I guess that means he won't step down. :(
I couldn't possibly imagine they'd be "allowed" to take over any actual control if they are a leftist and aren't beholden to the ownership class. We don't get to have nice things in government.

HEY!!! WHOA!!!! THAT'S TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!!!!
.......bacon doesn't deserve to be assosiated with corrupt cops. Bacon is awesome!
yooooo, he gave Sean "Diddy" Combs the key to NYC less than a year ago. Diddy got arrested by the Feds earlier this month and denied bail twice. I wonder if they are connected somehow.
They are not related. Adams was doing more traditional political corruption - demanding $20k to meet with someone, secretly advocating for foreign governments, etc.
dons aluminum foil hat
yeah, but what if Diddy was in on some international shit? he had tapes on all sorts of people. those tapes could be used as blackmail by foreign powers to manipulate politicians. check this 7:16 min interview of Gene Deal out.
doffs aluminum foil hat
but you're right. they're completely separate issues.
Upvoted for usage of the word "doffs."
TIL doff is the opposite of don
To be fair it's just "on" and "off" with the D to make it sexy
Stupid sexy grammatically correct Flanders...
I hope they searched him thoroughly for that key.
The FBI seized Adams' electronic devices as part of an investigation into whether his 2021 mayoral campaign's fundraising.
That's some expert journalism right there.
Expert editing.
That's one of the primary functions of the editor. Depending on the outfit though, editorial oversight may not be required or even a thing really. Publishing approval may be from the writer directly, which also likely means no one else read over it after it was completed to find easily avoidable issues from rephrasing and reorganizing sentences.
Sentances need better, organizing, editor no.
That's literally what the editing does.
I don't see the problem. Did his 2021 mayoral campaign's fundraising or did his 2021 mayoral campaign's not fundraising?
It's goodly perfection English!
He did in fact raise funds, case closed! We got em!
Okay, as someone who's never set foot in New York City, is it really that difficult for them to elect a mayor who's not a giant hunk of fuck?
honestly how did they go from deblasio to a fucking cop in 2021, just after all the nationwide BLM protests

He's better then Rudy Ghoulani, but I'm glad to see the shittiest person to hold that office isn't the bare minimum a moderate has to beat to be above the law.
Andrew Yang would have been better.
Does he stay mayor if he is convicted? I know the system is slow enough it probably won't matter, just curious.
Also, about damn time. Adams sucks and is obviously corrupt.
Lock him up
Saw that trainwreck coming a mile away.
