Once again, Democrats. Always too little, too late. Never willing to meet the moment. Never able to read the room. No fight, no drive, no spine.
I talked with a friend of mine from the City, who pointed out that Andrew Cuomo's publicly announced his interest in the position, and apparently polled well (moreso than other options on the poll, at least).
Can't say I'm keen on Cuomo running in a special election and winning. New York's seen enough of him and his.
Word on yet more of Cuomo, but get this compromised fuckhead Adams right the fuck outta here.
Yes, because if there's anything the last 10 years of politics has taught us is that the Democrats need to care more about precedent than holding elected officials accountable
It is not only acceptable but is required when the judicial system is compromised how it is.
The rule of law is important, that's the entire point. It's being flouted openly in all corners or our government. I can support a just government, but we do not have one, and we do not stand a chance of instating one without removing the openly corrupt one that we have in place. Simple as that.
Yes? Don't you think Trump should have been removed from office in his first term?
If you were being investigated by the FBI for corruption and openly pulled a quid pro quo with a political figure, would you still have a job?
Such a removal would not be extra judicial: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PBO/33
Being removed from office is not "punishment."
His elected position is not a possession. Taking it away is not punishment.
That mayor is causing a crisis because he doesn't want to be convicted of a crime he has already been accused of
And what happens if those other governors remove mayors for political reasons anyway?
it's just more кто кого shit
. . . what's that?
Edit: no, seriously, I don't know what that is.
Oh. Uh, cool.
More like too nothing.
I have many issues with Pelosi but she seems to have been the only Democrat with any major influence over the party in recent memory who was willing to use the checks at her disposal against blatant corruption. The rest of the Democratic party leadership are proving to be utterly useless and incompetent.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. Like I said, I have issues with her and I don't want her back. But she's also the only example of a leading Democrat in recent memory who's exercised power to stand up to Trump in any meaningful way. She impeached him twice and withheld a SotU address until he relented in a government shutdown. My point is, why are the other Dems so fucking spineless at a time we need action the more than ever?
