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.

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.

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!

Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don’t deserve to have their good name compared to cops.

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

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.

Turns out you can’t just do everything you want with 45% to barely 50% of the seats. Especially when you’re the big tent party of everyone sane.

You think West Virginia was ever going to vote against coal? They did more than I would have expected.

You never had morning meetings at your retail job where the pep talk was “Let’s get out there and do our best, and whatever you do, guys, remember not to violate the law today”?

What a bizarre claim to make. Does he actually think that’s how honest people start their day?

He doesn’t have a clue what honest people do. He’s like Vance buying doughnuts for the first time in his life. “Follow the law, I guess, or whatever makes sense.”

Totally normal thing to do. Like when my boss accused me of showing up to work drunk, I told him, “I start every morning telling my people ‘hey, I’m going to work not drunk today’”

That would be like me at a house party saying “Hey man, great party! Lots of people here, great selection of booze, I didn’t shit in the closet, and are those cocktail weinee’s???”

One of those things shouldn’t need to be said…
