I feel he would need 24/7 security though.
It's too late for Adams to be removed from the ballot lol
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
He finally tuned in and turned on.
They'd have to consolidate all other votes behind Cuomo to even have a chance, looking at the latest polling.
LoL, that's assuming the people who were going to vote for Adams are going to vote for Cuomo and not Sliwa. Adam's was saved from prosecution by Trump and had his endorsement. No liberal worth anything would have been planning yo vote for him.
I'm not saying it's likely by any means - quite the opposite. Managing to gather the voters of all those other candidates under one banner is probably not going to happen
Press full flush, shit be gone
Flush twice, that was a big nasty one that fouled the bowl.
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.
What a poopy doodoohead
He should go to prison where he belongs anyway.
So Trump's giving him a job?
Presumably chief corruption officer
Ambassador.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.

...now it is David vs Goliath...I hope Zohran wipes the floor with Cuomo...
He's done it once before.
"the price is finally right", said Adams, probably.
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.
Don't fret, there's still venn diagram overlap with idiot AND asshole.
This is the only reason I'm a bit upset he dropped out.
Good, fuck that Republican.
Good fucking riddance
Oh oh. It's happening. They're consolidating. Expect a huge October surprise. And if nothing else works, Kirking the leading candidate.
Doing Security Work my coworker asked if I Charlie Kirked the homeless man I removed from property. This was like a day after it happened, fucking hilarious
Geez, and here I thought I was being pessimistic. Thanks for the new verb, tho!
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.
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.
Hahaha, get fucked you corrupt trash can of a person
The check cleared.
Rip bozo
Yessss
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.
I have no idea who you are and I'm pretty sure you'd be a better mayor than Adams was
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.
Get rekt, Adams. I hope you end up as ambassador to South Sudan.
Yeah it's about time this ratfuck scumbag fuck off back to the cesspit he crawled out of.
