Obviously this is all bullshit but even if it wasn't he neglects to mention the band of thieves he brought into his administration who have been indicted by local prosecutors.

"Many of you who covered me ... were salivating at the thought that Eric would go to jail for 33 years. So don't start asking me about what I think about [Letitia James]: I want to know, what did y'all think about when my life was destroyed in this city. And I wish I had a mic so I can drop it."

Of course you do. Either the person who wrote this is a genius because they have grabbed intense attention on the Riverhounds, or an idiot because they thought it would simply end the matter.

I heard Mike Johnson has a phone.

As does the minority leader.

I don't think so, the speaker has a phone.

The NYC Department of Correction is extremely serious about projecting an image of reform, lawfulness, and considered, sober judgment these days, so it has decided to rename its Lower Manhattan jail complex after... multiply disgraced criminal Bernie Kerik.

The Lower Manhattan jail facility briefly bore Kerik's name once before, until he was convicted of corruption.

And your expectation is that would change if they were in session?

The House of Representatives being out of session can only be a good thing.

Andrew Cuomo keeps saying he’s the only candidate who can take on Trump once he’s in office.

Yet in his statement about the indictment of Letitia James, the highest-ranking Black elected official in the state, he doesn’t even mention Trump by name….and, more importantly, he doesn’t mention James.

In a democracy, the rule of law must be sacred - impartial, objective, and above politics. When the law is weaponized or manipulated to advance political agendas, it erodes public trust and weakens the very foundation of justice. Whether it comes from the right or the left, from prosecutors or politicians, the politicization of law enforcement is dangerous and corrosive.
We must restore faith in fairness, facts, and due process - because once justice becomes partisan, everyone loses.

Why? Will it make your post about slander and nerves seem less weaselly?

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 1d

I wasn't commenting on the digital media cohort being organized by WGA. I was commenting on the weaseliness and bad faith of your post.

When you say slander is a pretty heavy accusation, you're not denying that it's slander. And when someone takes the time to comprehensively respond to you, saying that you've "struck a nerve" is saying "you're right and I'm wrong but I'm not going to be gracious about it."

A wise person once told me you know your old when you no longer understand what they are saying in the Village Voice. Now that it's gone I think this is a pretty good barometer.

And 1630 Princeton Ave., Arlington Hts. is someone's suburban home. Doesn't look like the kind of structure that would have a "Suite 442".

Without social media, I probably would have never seen Ernie Anastos say "keep fucking that chicken!" and the reaction of his co-anchor on live TV. And my life would definitely be worse.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
