Good.

robinbudd.bsky.social•76 days ago

Gotta love Judge Ho!!

goldenrulegirl.bsky.social•76 days ago

Politicians should not be given immunity for their crimes. Good, but it’s fucked up the worst criminal hasn’t been brought to justice yet. He gets to run the United States into the ground before he does.

cri55.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adam’s is a mini Trump. Democrat to be elected than backstabbing the party.

cygnusxyz.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adams never gave me the warm and fuzzies ... and he's confirming I was right.

sniffit.bsky.social•75 days ago

So NYC is going to get to watch another of its mayors go full MAGAt and then help Mango Messiah fuck the City sideways with his deportation militarism in exchange for a pardon....which is MORE BRIBERY.

erohealthcomms.com•76 days ago

That’s a federal case in SDNY. I fully expect Trump to make it go away soon.

debruh.bsky.social•76 days ago

Ahhhh, that's why he is kissing the ring

mln552.bsky.social•76 days ago

Good. Let's be done with criming. Adam's is waaay off.

beverlymann19.bsky.social•76 days ago

Oh good lord.

weaselfd.bsky.social•76 days ago

In the world of corrupt politics, Eric Adams stands out as someone who even Trump could look up to.

weaselfd.bsky.social•76 days ago

He has been cozying up to Trump. I see a Trump pardon in his future.

tree-05.bsky.social•75 days ago

Dump has already mentioned it

weaselfd.bsky.social•75 days ago

But the one thing a Trump pardon can’t spare him from is NY state crimes.

wegottafixthis.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well that looks hopeful for charging trump’s parasites

toti66.bsky.social•75 days ago

So is the mentally orange psychotic maggot going to pardon him?

vluna67.bsky.social•76 days ago

I can’t believe Maya Wiley lost to this guy. 😣

evelinanycgal.bsky.social•76 days ago

Southern District ny is getting everything in order before trump appointee comes in to try and dismantle these cases

decodingfoxnews.bsky.social•76 days ago

I can't wait to VOTE HIM OUT!

riwoche.bsky.social•76 days ago

New Yorkers can't be bothered to vote, and sadly that hasn't changed over the course of the past three mayoral elections. "Just about 1.1 million voters—or 21% of registered voters—cast ballots. It’s the lowest percentage turnout in modern times. The turnout tally was 23% in 2017, and 24% in 2013":

darkest-timeline.bsky.social•76 days ago

I can't believe you HAVE to vote him out. Sigh.

pucksnponies.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adams will be running as a Republican next election. Book it.

nyccriminaldefense.bsky.social•76 days ago

Wish we could avoid the likely pardon the Criminal Elect will grant him

determineddem.bsky.social•76 days ago

You & me both!!

kheine.bsky.social•76 days ago

Yes! Another creep grifter that needs to go down.

konzun.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adams is so criminal.

trish4democracy.bsky.social•76 days ago

I said that from before the election. Hip Hop Mayor he called himself. He ain't no Biggie

lesdknyc.bsky.social•76 days ago

Lock him up please.

fletchermagee.bsky.social•75 days ago

Good. Criminal.

kissickbill.bsky.social•76 days ago

This fool was never a true democrat. Claims he wants to use religion to run government, while taking bribes on the side.

On second thought, that makes perfect sense.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•76 days ago

(And I'm sorry, but New Yorkers -- the few who showed up, anyway -- made a huge mistake electing this guy.)

determineddem.bsky.social•76 days ago

Seemed very different as Brooklyn Borough President. Think he had many ppl fooled.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•76 days ago

Sure seems like it.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•76 days ago

Good.

frankie156.bsky.social•76 days ago

Happy that the judge turned it down. Big cudos to the judge.

sossity.bsky.social•76 days ago

Eric can now rebuff his head to prep for the perp-walk that he ducked-out of a few months ago.

ellenenders.bsky.social•76 days ago

he's been courting DT for a pardon

zadett.bsky.social•76 days ago

If that guy is guilty. I hope the fuck he goes to jail.

cri55.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adam is already asking Trump for a pardon in exchange he’ll give up the immigrants

trish4democracy.bsky.social•76 days ago

Oh do you think Hockul will allow that . Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 I don't think so

oldwhiteguy64.bsky.social•76 days ago

For what exactly? Giving a construction job to a Turk? Yeah he should go to Rikers for that. ☝️🤡

mwilk19.bsky.social•76 days ago

Trump’s going to pardon him. That’s why he’s sucking up to Trump so hard.

cincigale.bsky.social•76 days ago

No wonder why he wants to become a Republican - going to need a pardon.

tree-05.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'm wondering why dump said he would consider pardoning him....

christufarr.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'd be willing to bet he ends up as part of Frump's team.He seems willing to do anything to stay out of prison.

nilabisan.bsky.social•76 days ago

He’s a crook.

rl2863.bsky.social•76 days ago

The country is now being run by criminals.

bkmnus.bsky.social•76 days ago

How long before Adams "becomes" a Republican to suck up to Trump for a pardon and/or job?

annberry073.bsky.social•76 days ago

He’s already seeking a pardon from Trump. I don’t know anyone that voted for him yet here he is😒

tonybolognamacnchz.bsky.social•76 days ago

Another member of the Political Crimes Committee!

isaco-1.bsky.social•76 days ago

Because he’s probably guilty

canadapolite.bsky.social•76 days ago

Oh, excuse me but my client Mr creme de la creme would prefer his charges dismissed as he's an important man. WTF?

juli-alvarez.bsky.social•75 days ago

Adams is a crook. We want him and his corrupt ass OUT. Where is the movement in NYC to remove this fool?

just-a-hobbit.bsky.social•76 days ago

This is good news he should never have been elected.

blandydayz.bsky.social•75 days ago

He forgot to take funds afterwards. Tips! Duh. He'll learn to be corrupt legally, eventually. Just takes time and effort!

mlco.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adams has to go

wayne1213.bsky.social•76 days ago

Good. He should be held accountable.

bdemayo.bsky.social•76 days ago

All my homies hate Eric Adams.

Why do we always insist on electing the worst mayors lol

peacenluv1.bsky.social•76 days ago

Should’ve voted for @maya4rights.bsky.social

bboptop.bsky.social•76 days ago

I voted for Maya. 👍

peacenluv1.bsky.social•76 days ago

She was the best woman for the job. Again. We disappoint.

determineddem.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well, I may be in the minority but I really think Bill de Blasio did as good a job as possible given the Covid nightmare that plagued his administration. At least he stayed a Democrat.

bdemayo.bsky.social•76 days ago

Having the name Bill does make one better by default I've found 👀

jacksprat39.bsky.social•76 days ago

Adams is cooked. All he's got left is the felon. Watch him grovel...

wethepeoplestill.bsky.social•76 days ago

This will be gone

gartmartin9.bsky.social•76 days ago

Judge Ho had to do a bit of legal gymnastics, because Mayor Swagger was relying on a SCOTUS opinion last term--written by Beer K, that "gratuities" to public officials (after they did you a solid) are a-ok and not illegal like bribes.
Beer invoked the legal doctrine known as the Harlan Crow
