More trouble in NYC for Mayor Swag?

Why don’t they reveal the amount of cash? A couple bucks or a couple thousand?

DLers accurately pegged Eric Adams as a "clown" years ago

Doesn't look like much ... Few hundred maybe

Start small and build from there—exactly for this reason, it was reported to the Feds.

I missed the ‘’Mayor Adams Warning Signs’’ and was so disappointed. Never again! (I hope)

Drop the gun, hold the potato chips.

This brainless motherfucker keeps making Donald Trump look like friggin' Winston Churchill by comparison.

HOWWWWW did you stupid cocksuckers make this man your mayor??!?!?

Guilty here: Early on he was open about his struggles with full blown diabetes 2 and I fell for the ‘’honesty’’. What a dope.

There were no warning signs unfortunately

R8 Even though Kathryn Garcia, with decades of sober and solid management experience behind her, was also on the ballot? What was so wrong with her? Was she too white? She wasn't exciting enough?

There were AN ASSLOAD of warning signs that this guy was fucked in the head. Hell, I live half a continent away from NYC and I could smell it on him.

R5, Adams was always corrupt. He’s a former cop who worked his way up in Brooklyn politics. I think many voters assumed that they could live with penny ante/bags of hundred dollar bills type corruption, but it wasn’t balanced with competence in other areas.

Adams is a real-life version of 30 Rock's Tracy Jordan.

I fully expect to wake up one morning to find footage of him running through traffic in his underwear, waving a toy lightsaber and yelling "I AM A JEDI!!!!"

He stared too long at the sun as a child, and it fried his brain.

it was 300 bucks!

Pics please.

I can't remember why I voted for him. Henjuat seemed like the right choice. COVID fried my brain at the time. I regret it and wish I voted for Andrew Yang @R7

Oh damm. That should be He just seemed @R15

He appeared willing to be critical of everyone and made no excuses for people of his own race who committed crimes, which was refreshing at the time. Little did anyone know, however, that he was benefiting in various ways while simultaneously positioning himself as the voice of reason regarding others’ criminal actions.

Since when has NYC been reluctant to elect a white mayor, r10? Adams is only the second black mayor. Obviously she lost for reasons that have nothing to do with her skin tone

R18 But no one has really articulated WHY she lost.

R19, possibly rank choice voting. She was a very strong second to Adams, who was extremely popular outside of Manhattan. Adams was a former Republican and appealed to more conservative voters.

Voters often get it wrong, that's why some don't get re-elected, except for the Orange one.

Trying to claim it's like a new years gift, lmao this bitch is really trying everything

Mayor Swag gives Cuomo an advantage

wtf? How the hell does Adams seem like Jordan on 30 Rock. wtf? They’re both black, that’s about it. lol I’m not calling your post racist, it’s just weird. Adams comes across as calculating and manipulative. Jordan is impulsive and unintellectual. He isn’t really manipulative. This is the weirdest comparison I’ve seen in some time. I’ve never seen all seasons of The Wire but I imagine there is character in there more similar to Adams.

There is nothing I hate more than a corrupt politician. They are worse than drug dealers.

How humiliating for the incumbent Mayor to be a distant 4th in his reelection race.

Wow.

Adams ran as a person of the people with first hand knowledge of the inner workings of the old guard and how to navigate that world. Little we do New Yorkers know, he can finesse in that world so well because he is corrupt and full of shit.

He can go on Dancing with the Stars and then start a non profit and shake down corporations like his good friend Al.

Trump Sucking Criminal

Bye bish!

What a huge disappointment he turned out to be. And I voted for him!!!!!!!!!!

Any sensible New Yorker voted for Garcia over this raving smoothie-drinking felon.

Well, it looks like New York is running out of sensible voters
