Why does Mamdani refuse to admit he has no plan to prevent a resident of Nevada from driving across the country with an illegal weapon to commit murders in New York? Why is he unwilling to keep New Yorkers safe by hiring enough police to form a defensive line 5 deep outside every major building?
/s
He should've hired Kurt Russel already! What was he thinking‽
It’s beyond belief that some people aren’t picking this up as satire. Is it because they don’t read to the end of a post? Or can’t understand? I have noticed this with emails before though. People, especially Americans, constantly ask for information that’s in the email you’ve sent!
Sarcasm/satire doesn't work when people are angry.. and this blaming of Mamdani is pissing people off. As it should.
The problem is that we’re actually hearing your sarcasm from the terrified billionaires here. And their media flunkies.
It’s not mine
No, I know. I just mean, here in NYC, there are actually billionaires saying these things, so some folks are assuming seriousness rather than sarcasm.
Well, I guess Adam's didn't have much of a plan to stop him either and hasn't hired enough cops either. I don't get your logic here.
Rich people don't want to admit that paid security don't want to take an AR-15 bullet for them, so they demand public policing stick cops there, who also do not want to take a bullet for them.
It should be of note that a police officer and security guard were in the lobby and could not stop the shooter and died. Not many people can stop a determined AR - 15 shooter from doing a lot of damage in a short period of time, even if they are taken down rather quickly. Dayton OH 2019, 32 seconds.
Inquiring minds want to know - and what about allowing cats in some NY bodegas - the horror😱
As someone who went to NY and went to THREE bodegas and saw ZERO cats, I was OUTRAGED.
I agree - he probably had them hidden just in time😂👍
You need the cats. They’re rodent control and they work for cat food ❤️😂
Oh no! Better deport the cats, they're undermining the economy! Sorry 😞
Those immigrant cats are taking the food from the table of the rats that depend on that food to survive... the injustice of it all... 🤨
I’m a cat lady. But I’ll be ok with the government deporting all of the kitties so long as Trump has to get each cat into a carrier personally…no ICE…and he can’t wear gloves or long sleeves. 🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛
Nooooo! Keep the cats, deport the MAGA
He wouldn’t get a single cat into a carrier and his arms would be ribbons. He’d never get the chance to deport any of them! 😂😂😂 (but let’s deport the MAGA anyway. lol)
Ikik. 😂😂😂You gotta use the towel trick….m But he’s afraid of animals anyway. Let’s put him in an escape room with a bunch of really neurotic Siamese
He hates animals. What kind of a person can’t fall in love with a sweet kitten or puppy that, while they can be messy, they look into your eyes and then fall asleep in your arms, it’s the best feeling. I don’t trust anyone that can’t feel love in that situation. It means you have no soul.
This. I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like animals, especially dogs. If you don’t like dogs, unless there’s a really good reason, you’re a 🚩
I’m a little afraid of big dogs, especially when their owners don’t control them; but I would never harm one unless attacked! But I’m a crazy cat lady, I have 4 indoor and 1 outdoor. I love animals more than most people 😂😂😂
Bodega Cats are stealing my mouse-eating job!
😂👍
They’re eating the mice! They’re eating the rats! 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
And some I assume are good people… 😆
This thread is everything good about the internet. May good fortunes bless you all.
That’s all what some of us can do to try to keep our sanity while being threatened by criminal zombies in the government and MSM.
They're eating all the vermin!😡
Put a lot of cats at the Whitehouse!!!! Problem solved.
Oh man, big cat recruitment effort underway right this moment💖💚👍 - all cats to DC for instructions
Poor kitties, get them a lifetime supply of Lipitor with that fatty diet 😂
Those kitties would be HEROES!!
Is the brown cat taking the black cat's black cat job?
Ceiling kitteh banished basement kitteh, but basement kitteh will have his revenge
They’re stealing our jobs! Americans should be doing the bodega rat-chasing jobs!
Cats are not good at that. They are good at killing native bird life, though.
And, by definition, a bodega needs a bodega cat. Without one it is just a corner store.
I love the fact that a thread about a mayoral candidate's response to gun crime turned into a discussion of bodega cats. That feels very ... very New York, somehow.
👍😂🙀
👍😂
Those are load-bearing cats... can't remove em.
Taking jobs from hardworking, white AMERICAN exterminators. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Stealing jobs from HARDWORKING AMERICANS!!
CATS ARE HARDWORKING AMERICANS!!!
I anybody asking if Trump is responsible for the murders because of his relentless attacks on cities in general and NYC in particular? There's likely more connection there than to anything Mamdani has said or done, and there's probably no connection there whatsoever.
Are you asking this of the three other candidates, or just the Social Democrat?
I think the comment you are replying to is satire but you seem to be replying as if its an honest question.
Can we agree that it's poorly written satire and maybe should be left to the professionals? 😁
Had to go back and read it to get it was satire.
I don't think anyone was going to take the suggestion to have police 5 deep surrounding every building as a serious one. Then again, satire is hard in these days where Trump et all really do say genuinely crazy/stupid things.
sorry glen but i think you might be the only one
🤷🏻♂️
Nope, I agree with Glen. It came across as too real. Tbf tho, the best-funded headlines of the day are giving even The Onion a run for its money…
absolutely not, @bencollins.bsky.social tim onion is a homie and he hired a great writing crew and nobody is giving them a run for their money, that’s simply not true
Oh please. People have been saying for months that with this Trump administration things are so surreal it's difficult to satire.
hey glen do you have any hobbies or anything
You sound very serious.
i’m very serious the onion is americas fastest selling newspaper of two thousand and twenty five
There isn't a single article about The Onion online dated 2025.

I don't know how anyone could think the last sentence was supposed to be serious.
Well I never thought a president would suggest shooting up bleach either, but here we are 😂
It's really not worth all this back and forth. I'm more concerned about the $200M completely gilded ballroom Trump is having built
What? You mean he…he ISN’T a clairvoyant?? He didn’t see it coming? No sixth sense? Well….that’s a deal breaker. 🤨
I must admit, you had me for a moment with the Mamdani criticism.
You legend
Doesn't Mamdani know that it's not only a sin but also a heinous crime to *not* be an omnisciently omnipotent magic genie with a retroactively magical wand????
This may help. www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...
Oof… I guess it’s not really the time for him to say fuck the police. I’m glad he didn’t do a full 180 and say cops are great all the time, more cops are what we need everywhere! Thanks for the share. Ridiculous that he’s getting flack for this and not the current mayor or any other candidate.
Whatever tangent that goes through your head and passes for a "thought" in your mind is not identical with Mamdani's strategies for anything.
lol
This thread brings me joy.
He has a concept of a plan.
