walk into a meeting and put a face to the name.

“Before I walk in, I look over the org chart. I look at their faces so I can walk in and say, “Hello,” he said. Page Six Style

It’s not that you are hated for liking to be Mayor, it’s because you don’t actually put in the time
ou should being the “working”Mayor and straightening out this failing and unsafe city…
specially in your first year. You like being a celebrity-like mayor and going to fun events, and
wouldn’t. But you should wait to do that AFTER at least making some attempt at fixing the
problems in NYC first!

I don't hate Mayor Adams. I just wish he would do more than talk a good game. You know, see
ome actual results. He never calls out DA Bragg and his cronies. He never calls out Gov
for allowing the city to sink to new lows. He' s a fraud. He fronts like he cares but never
gets things done. Takes a lot of pictures tho'

Adams has nothing on former Detroit mayor, aka The Hip Pop Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick. That
rother had it going on. True, they are equally gaudy and worthless and given to race
but Nightlife Mayor is but a pip compared to KK

We hate you not because you like “being a mayor” but instead because you think “you are a

Adams, I can’t believe I’m saying this, is going to make DeBluzzio look like Caesar.

He conveniently forgets to tell us the real reason he wants head shots - so he can more easily

Yeah, no, that's not what we hate about you, Eric. You have already shown that you're just here
or the posh parties and glamor shots. You are not a serious person and you're bad for NYC.
that clears it up for you.

I watch this new mayor talk and he says nothing. He has the tedious diction of a recovering
lcoholic or drug addict.
I'm trying to decide, is this guy simply emotionally immature and not particularly bright, or is
e just a blathering fool?
Were he a white guy, he'd have been dismissed by the public... See more
