Adams never should've been elected in the first place, and he absolutely needs to get the boot. What a foul, corrupt public officer he turned out to be. I'm confident Governor Hochul will act.
Well, this is a chance for her to do better, Hanna. I'm hoping she does. Republicans in the state are rooting against her, so they can sucker NYers into sticking some horrific version of Musk into that role.
He should be dismissed for his deals with Chump and for his illegal activity. The city of New York will NEVER have confidence in his ability or agenda.
Crazy thing is now he is on brand…trying to switch parties and run again. He clearly hasn’t read the room that the whole city hates him regardless of party affiliation
That isn't the way it works in NYC. The public advocate would automatically take the seat for the moment, and there would either be a special election or general election in a matter of months
Sorry, I cancelled my Times subscription for a reason, but this is a likely list of Democratic *primary* candidates. The list that could afford to credibly run in a special election is surely shorter?
Looks like that the mayor is unable to govern the city which should result in an action taken by the governor to put Eric Adams on administrative leave and have the deputy mayors run the city
Yes! There is definitely a stench surrounding this. Has der fuhrer ordained white collar/government criminality is a source for more foot soldiers? Open the gates and let them all off the hook (IL former gov?). When the devil comes to collect, I wonder how many NY lives/livelihoods will it cost?
I want to know what did he actually do that him and his administration been under scrutiny. Is it a case of true wrong doing or keeping another black man down, just makes me wonder.
Everything is not about race….bFFR Travis. How about reading his indictment orders? Or maybe Google? You do know a black man was the US Attorney in SDNY right? 🙄
It is worth noting that Eric Adams has done more to lock up Black people and criminalize poverty than any mayor since Rudy. He might be Black but he’s also a cop. When guards at Rikers were caught beating prisoners, he went there to support the guards. For his crimes you can go read the indictments.
If you’ve got an hour to burn, check out this interview with Eric Adams with Olayemi Olurin! It’s from before the indictments dropped, it just goes into some of the reasons why NYC hates him (and how specifically he’s betrayed Black people here)
Dear friends, I urgently need your help. As a paraplegic, getting around in the winter has been a daily challenge. An enclosed mobility scooter would change my life, giving me independence and freedom. Please support by donating or sharing my GoFundmeMe. Every bit counts thanks🙏✨ https://gofund.me/0af928df
Sorry for my ignorance, I read he received $100K worth of free flights. The firewall stopped me from learning more. Can someone please bring me up to speed?
They are going to use him as a prop to help the immigrant round up, he will do what his handlers tell him what to then act shocked when they start coming for blacks to fully remove all rights from. Fro now a pleasant puppet
Using the media to gaslight the public to engage in corrupt and deceptive practices which defraud the American government. Bad actrors and thieves who feel they are entitled to your tax dollars.
it’s weird that all the news is in eric adams and not the members of congress that are actually allowing the trump’s administration to steam roll the rule of law . . .
This is an example of why we need to bring back civics classes in schools. Of course, Trunt and his cronies don't want informed citizens, so it's an uphill battle at the moment ...
Thats actually the only way he can be removed from his position!
In the New York City Charter, Chapter 1 Section 9, “The mayor may be removed from office by the governor upon charges and after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defense.”
Trump is a predator; he looks for these weak, compromised people he can “purchase” for loyalty credits. He seeks them out, exploits them and tosses them out the window like greasy McDonalds bags.
Even though his maggot handlers admit to the bribe, adams continues to lie about his accommodation. So I guess its final that adams has a preferred seat on the chump maggot mule train and it only cost his morality, honor (although most of that was lost long ago), and the pride of most new yorkers.
I was waiting for the mayor's day in court before forming an opinion about his guilt. Now, that he agreed to act on behalf of an autocrat to forego a trial, its is clear the man is guilty as hell. Now that the autocracy has control of data, they probably have more dirt on the Mayor.
when you have blatant actions like offering an indicted politician a pardon to gain power over a city,yes. He has violated his oath of office and misrepresented himself to his constituents.
The Mayor didn’t receive a pardon.
The charges were dropped.
The people elected him to be the Mayor of the city.
The people gave him the power.
The DOJ under Biden chose to indict him because they didn’t like that he spoke out against illegal immigration in NY city.
Ooops..when you return from your vacation in the land of goofballs and criminals back to reality where the smart people are and you show up at the shareholder’s meeting on Monday morning still wearing the leather chaps and cocaine on your chin.
👏👏👏This is what a soldier looks like in the war against FOTUS. Unbelievable integrity, principles and respect for the rule of law. In this war everyone has a role to play.
A resignation in protest only works if 1) the superior executive feels shame, and 2) at least 50.1% of the populace care more about the law than getting their own way. Neither of those things are currently true in today's America so such resignations leave things worse instead of better.
I can't believe Gov Hochul has to 'think' about firing Adams when it's in writing that there is a quid pro quo to the dismissal of charges and on top of that, it being publicly joked about.
I don't think that's the case at all. I think she's waiting to see what happens with the pending case to drop the charges. However, in today's politics, everything could be on the table.
Trump is the mayor of NYC now. I'm sure Trump has Adams call him Master Trump. Trump could never win an election to be mayor in NYC. Trump is a criminal who is currently extorting a fellow criminal. Adams=a Malcolm X house negro. Trump pardoned people who attacked police. https://youtu.be/jf7rsCAfQCo?si=GC1EvVun08JESjJQ
Did Eric Adams really not commit even a single state crime with all his corruption?
Can a NYC Mayor really take that many bribes and neither the Manhattan DA nor State prosecutors can't touch him and have to instead rely on federal prosecutors only?
I don’t think electing people into office meets the definition of “subversion”.
“Subversion”, by definition means “the undermining of the power and authority of an established system or institution.”
Those who want to undermine the current administration are the ones trying to undermine authority.
"Batty" is a suitable moniker. If you don't think bribing/extorting an elected mayor over his criminal charges in order to get him to do something that is illegal in the state of NY, is subversion, then you are indeed batty.
They are well paid. All these meetings with Orban and Pootin over the years has created the blueprint for this takeover. The GOP have their own politburo. Money talks and bullshit walks. Everyone has their price. The public is too busy struggling to put food on their table and a roof over their head
He’s a crook who now has the DOJ to thank for again screwing American citizens. Great job NY you sure can pick ‘em. Santos, Cuomo,Adams, Giuliani. What perverted thief y’all gonna pick next? Ya may not agree with AOC but she’s not under investigation, she does her job quite well. #AOC
They are all leaving. Who are you? Kidding. Adam’s campaign people can say no one’s leaving all they want, but they’re leaving, and Adams will be pushed out very soon.

Welcome to PEOPLE WITH A MORAL CODE, ASSHAT.

I can't even imagine what Adams was thinking.
I am pretty sure that corruption is a crime under NY state law.
Soon city hall will be empty.
Beloved, the Lord gave me a revelation about your career and family. Do well to leave me a message, it is very important. God bless you.”
After Trump gets what he wants from Adams, I bet he makes sure Adams gets locked up.
Trump feels power through cruelty. He would never help any non-whites.
He needs a new, better staff.
In the New York City Charter, Chapter 1 Section 9, “The mayor may be removed from office by the governor upon charges and after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defense.”
Just do it
Criminals and more criminals

#EricAdams:
You should too. My original post has the complaint letter & exhibits so you can submit your own:

What I do know is Adams received well documented kickbacks / bribes from Turkey.
Are they rats leaving a sinking ship? Why didn't these folks resign when this first came up?
I think he has a year left. Seems they are getting ready to run.

Don’t stand for it New Yorkers.

That'll show em 😤😤 I'm SURE people give a single rats ass that you gave up fighting against the system.
Not only will he struggle to be effective with 3-4 acting deputies,
but the more important resignations have been in the DOJ, refusing to drop the charges. That directly obstructs the DOJ from doing so.
Charlie Brown was just a guy who trusted too much and forgave too easily.
There is no evidence of corruption or taking bribes in the comic strip.
Weird that is…
