Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Thus adding more corruption.

As per the New York City charter, New York State Governor Hochul can remove the Mayor of New York City at any time she chooses. God only knows after he accepted the corrupt Quid Pro Quo with the DOJ why she hasn't yet. Last asked she said : "I have to think about it". As Democrats and Americans we're still nowhere. We haven't even gotten up off the mat yet, while it all continue to burn.

On what grounds? Did they elaborate?

He agreed to do a bunch of shady shit for the fascist regime in exchange for evading justice. The regime made that clear but obviously didn't specify exactly what shady shit.

And they're trying to dismiss the charges without prejudice so they can charge him again if he doesn't do what they want.

It's unfair to investigate the crimes of someone that's trying to commit more crime.

They need a politician to open the flood gates of NYC to ICE nazis. The harder to understand pardon is Rod Blagoyevich because he no longer holds any power in Illinois.

"He let us steal 20M from NYC FEMA"

the grounds are he likes trump

DOJ is trying to dismiss the charges without prejudice so they can have leverage over Adams. I think the funniest option would be for the judge to dismiss with prejudice, removing their leverage and clearing the way for the state to bring charges against Adams without worrying about interfering with the feds.

Anyone know how new yorks electorate is... I mean I know they loved Juliani, but that was with him being a rock star durring 9/11. This clown doesn't actually stand a chance in a re-election does he?

NYC is "Democrat," but they're historically liberal rather than progressive. Which is why they ended up with mayors like Bloomberg, and this clown...

New York State is more diverse in opinion... But I'm not sure I see them choosing an open Trumper as Governor.

But I’m not sure I see them choosing an open Trumper as Governor.

I mean the trump is just the tip of the iceburg isn't it. I mean he was pretty much cartoonish corruption that he was pretty much dead to rights on.
