Beyond "just read the article," let's have a little bit more "just read the actual headline."
I think you didn't understand.
What I mean is he has turned his coat really fast, done everything to please the millionaires and genociders (including keeping this ghoul), but it's not good enough for them apparently.
He's keeping Tisch as part of a deal with Hochul to get funding for free buses, right? That didn't seem like turncoat to me, it seemed like...you know, just basic politics.
In fairness, I haven't heard much about Tisch overall. I don't know what her thing is.
Then you shouldn't have an opinion.
What's a little genocide when we can get free busses, right?
As long as it doesn't bother us and we can get back to brunch. Anyway, never trust a Democrat.
Cool. Yeah, that thought process has never harmed dialogue and discussion before. 🙄
I've looked up all the information I can find about Tisch, and she seems pretty bland and boring, as far as police commissioners go. I don't see anything about any scandals or problematic public statements. She's been in the role for not quite a year, and it doesn't seem like she's made any particular splash, good or bad. If Mamdani has to have a police commissioner, it seems like he could certainly do worse; the NY Post, at least, doesn't seem to like her very much. She opposes the National Guard being deployed to NYC.
But if you have some kind of secret knowledge, please do tell.
Boy, I don't know why people aren't more on board with our platform, what with such welcoming people as you on our side.
I'm not saying anything about brunch. I'm saying that Mamdani wants to remake New York to help normal people, and if he has to make deals with people to do so, he should probably do so in ways that cause as little harm as possible. This seems to fit that bill.
Your mention of "genocide" is interesting. I haven't seen any evidence that she's made any statements about Palestine at all; is that the genocide you're talking about?
I'm not. I'm saying that this doesn't seem to represent any "betrayal" or "turncoat" behavior, at least not yet. It looks completely reasonable, and you don't seem to be inclined to provide any evidence to the contrary.
right, how convenient.
You could listen to its speech at the ADL before its fascist masters for example.
But you obviously prefer not to so you can live with defending a genocidal monster out of deliberate ignorance.
you people disgust me.
Don't reply
Yep, that speech is pretty terrible. I wish I had found that the first time around. Thanks for pointing me to it.
I prefer to be correctly informed, and to base my opinions on reality. Even though you decided that your comment had to have needless insults in it, I appreciate that you at least provided that. Nope, you're right, she definitely looks like a terrible choice. Concerning to learn about that.
EDIT: I posted that after watching a short clip of her remarks at the ADL. I have since watched the whole thing, and it...isn't much better. For those who haven't seen it, she's doing the same thing that politicians and news outlets around the country are doing: conflating pro-Palestine messaging (and even anti-Netanyahu messaging) with anti-Jewish sentiment, and calling it "vile." She stops short of calling it illegal, but she does imply that she's willing to legally harass pro-Palestinian protestors.
I am sorry for being angry.
Sick and tired of people CHOOSING not to see stuff.
If you really are of good will then at leasts try to be better informed.
The best thing you can do is follow ML (social) media.
They know their stuff.
aaaaand another one:
collapsed inline media
Ooof. Now, getting endorsements from self-proclaimed zionists, on the other hand, I don't like. Yikes.
