Mamdani will be watched like a hawk to get things with which to denounce him.
It falls to him to set a new standard for what a mayor should do. I think he will easily put the lie to the old line about how one has to have political experience to hold this or that office. What's most important is motivation. If one wants to do the right thing for the people, there are countless experienced people to figure out how to get it done for him and I bet there is more than one hack who feels some exhilaration for the first time.
He's off to a good start. I look forward to seeing more of his likeable smiling face and I love hot chocolate.
Would CNN be capable of reporting "Here's exactly how Mamdani is changing the city bureaucracy (with a listicle of five executive orders)", or would they immediately discard it as boring minutae?
I find this sort of stuff more fascinating than "the mayor distributes hot chocolate". Political figure does feel-good thing is like "dog bites man"; not exactly novel behavior. "Mamdani's [fabulous | fiendish] plan to change the city" sound more fun. But many journalists don't seem to see it that way.
I too am a few billion short - where did it all go, so quickly? - relying on my returnable bottles and cans portfolio. Otherwise I'd gladly share to get more insight such as this. I had been fearful that his too quick decision after the election to retain Tisch was a capitulation to the Zionists. Now from what you say, his handling of her, them, appears to be political genius, seemingly coming from a political naif. Maybe we're in for a whole lot more boldness mixed with deftness. Lessons for those liberal shrinking violets on the national scene. Then again, forget them, maybe this one Mamdani will inspire whole divisions more.
Oh, by the way, regarding CNN's astute, incisive coverage... they're still on one of the Zionist Ellison's acquisition list?
It's exciting having some HOPE restored for USA. I cried watching his inauguration. Would have been very tempted to attend it in person but I would have had to bring a burner phone. And besides that... under this administration I don't meet anyyyy Canadians willing to step foot in USA (not even for a layover) while trump is in office.
The people have spoken, and they've sent a powerful beautiful message to the entire world that democracy is still alive and well in some parts of USA.
Instead of Temple of Fear, I prefer "Architects of Fear" which is the name of a prescient episode of the great 1960's sci-fi series The Outer Limits. Essentially, a bunch of scientists/politicians transform one of their own into a gruesome alien and have him land on earth to scare the people of earth into getting united against a common enemy. Of course it failed. In my early years as an attorney, working in a law firm, I often used the phrase to describe the work we sold to clients. Telling them they need this manual or some other work product to prevent certain things from happening to their business. I knew most of it was bullshit that would never happen but it resulted in billable hours. Hence the architects of fear.
You haven't really told us anything. I mean, there is nothing in what you have written that provides any substantive follow up on what seems like just the ordinary bureaucratic functioning of government. Try not to get too caught up in wishful thinking.

The city parliamentarian blocked Hunter from hangin dong. Bastards.

This is absolutely incredible and I wish him the best of luck. Oh, how I wish more politicians would do this!
