I'm glad I live in Cleveland Heights where either of our two mayoral candidates is acceptable and would probably do a good job. I still can't believe Cuomo had the gall to run. But then gall is the quantity he probably has the most of.

Anastasia, it’s called EGO. Cuomo has plenty of that in spite of him being a sexual pervert! So glad Mamdani won.

halligan needs to lose her law license because what she has done is against the code of ethics and what she did was an egregious act that the court will not consider acceptable and I bet she will be turned in to the Board.

I would say she should face prison time and fines too but Trump would just pardon her like does all the felons who aid him.

Lawyers are licensed by the state they practice in. Perhaps, state charges could be applied instead of federal charges?

I agree, but they still need to be given a day in court. If trump then pardons them he's the scumbag. And that's another story.

Well he’s certainly had a “loose pen” when it comes to pardons!

“US President Donald Trump says he does not know who Changpeng Zhao is, despite pardoning the cryptocurrency multi-billionaire last month.”

“Zhao, who is also known as "CZ", pleaded guilty to enabling money laundering in 2023. He served four months in prison and agreed to step down as the chief executive of Binance, the crypto exchange he co-founded.

“His companies have partnered with firms linked to Trump on new digital-currency projects including Dominari Holdings, where his sons sit on the board of advisers and which is based in Trump Tower.“

I guess he wants Jews to vote for an underhanded, lying, corrupt sleazebag like Cuomo because of course he does — he's also an underhanded, lying, corrupt sleazebag! I think Mamdani is overrated with impossible expectations as his starry-eyed Bernie Bro acolytes will discover quickly, but at least he's not an underhanded, lying, corrupt sleazebag — and he loves cats!

Robert Reich may be right again, that it’ll be air traffic controllers who force an end to the shutdown. Right before Thanksgiving, the heaviest travel period of the year, and everyone will blame the Republicans.

They don’t all worship him. I think the majority probably ridicule him behind closed doors. However, they (majority) do worship the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, and Project 2025. They also (some of them) line their pockets and, consequently, their insatiable greed has obliterated their Constitutional oaths. 🤬

I’ve been an Independent before, so I can appreciate what you’ve said. I vote Blue all the way now just because I’ve lost hope in a balanced bipartisan Congress. But I have issues with the Dems’ approach and for the first time, I think I might move more left to the Bernie, AOC, Zohran camp! They are driven by so much more than greed. I think I’m more of a Democratic Socialist.

Billionaires need to pay more taxes and not benefit from exploiting the working class any longer. This shouldn’t be an extreme position. Sigh!
