Right? Lmfao Whoever wrote this is as stupid as it gets 😭🤦‍♀️

No, they just want their stupid followers to believe it. Who Is Politico owned by, and how much do they like getting Trump’s tax break for the 1%?

Don't confuse malice for ignorance.

It's both if we want to go that route. Im definitely not confused lol The cruelty is always the point but that doesn't make them any less stupid 😜

see, I don't think Fascists inherently lack judgement. They just want things that aren't what I want.

That too!

Et tu, Politico?

Mamdani is so qualified, they're already assuming he'll step in when the current mayor fails to act.

It’s not as if Adams was ever tested for much of anything. The man was a longtime Jersey resident when he was elected.

Has every US journalist suddenly gone stupid?

Pandemic or, er, dumbdemic.

No 2.

If @politico.com was a printed publication, I wouldn't line my hamster’s cage with it out of fear of making my hamster dumber.

😂

Ditto

🤣

Why was Obama not in the White House working during 9/11? Well, he was not president. He was a state senator But the vibe is the same .... www.youtube.com/shorts/4v5Yo...

😡😡😡

And don't forget Politico dragged up a tweet from 2020 where Mamdani mocked a crying cop.

Man stuff must look really bad for Adam's as that move is a bottom of the barrel kinda thing

Oh, Politico. Sigh. Do better.

Tiger Beat on the Potomac doesn't do prechecks.

Where’s Eric Adams?

😐😂

Is Adam’s gone? I saw him on tv talking about this.

Politico is not with reading anymore. It is Fox News for people who know what the internet is.

You should really proofread your posts before hitting Reply

Indeed. Usually, I do. I despise typing on an iPad.

Know how you feel. No disrespect intended. I often miss things on my iPhone.

Hey, it was just 'worth/with'. That's an easy autocorrect error and even easier to overlook... Especially when the shit talking is directed at the shithole Politico has become... Why so mean??

Not trying to be mean. The poster explained what happened and I apologized. I mis-proofread some way posts and feel like a fool later. I don’t even want to discuss Politico or The NY Times.

If it was written by MAGAts, I definitely think it was due to their lack of education and intelligence. I will try to teach them. There are so many MAGAts with lack of knowledge about grammar. It is sad and pathetic.

Not in this case. I agree that what you say is often true, but this user wrote that he was having difficulty with his iPad. The same thing happens to me with this iPhone. You are correct that these mistakes make things difficult to understand.

I make many mistakes when I rage type comments. I understand others also have experienced rage typing. To live in this hell makes sane people to feel angry. Whenever I see incorrect spellings or grammar, I assume the writers’ intent more so than actual posts.

The typo may be correct: Politico and reading no longer go together.

Agreed!! (And I knew you meant "worth"... It was pretty obvious to anyone who read it. 🫶🏼)

Not mayor yet? Nacho problem!

you don't even need to google "current"

@politico.com give me a break. Do you not know who is the current mayor of New York is?

Politico how much money did you get to sell your credibility???

Fucking scum bags!

Unbelievable

I wonder how the other nominees stood up to the test. . .

I always think the first test of a nominee is to file the paperwork correctly. 2nd is to get anyone outside of their apartment building to recognize their name. 3rd is getting anyone to give a shit what their opinion is. 4th is giving pithy hottakes on current events.

Tiktok had a ton of autogenerated stuff attacking the new Labour UK governments "actions" posted that went live about two weeks before they took office. Liars are not conscious of the fact that they are seen for what they are because people don't bother to call them out all the time. But we know.

I'm just waiting for Eric Adams to say, "Mamdani isn't tough enough on crime to prevent shootings like these" without a hint of irony that it happened on his watch.

Then it’s a test for Curtis and his red beret too.

Acting like it’s a forgone conclusion that he will be the next mayor isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

SERIOUSLY! Mayoral CANDIDATE.

They love the blame game.

This looks like a fake news plant honestly.

People are in such a hurry to get things done but get basic stuff straight. Just wow.

Um isn't Eric Adams still the mayor?

I love how they wanna make this his problem instead of the crook who's ACTUALLY mayor rn, Adams.

Capitalists are nothing if not shameless opportunists.

It does say 'nominee', not mayor.

Well, good grief, is every single newspaper and station kowtowing to these lunatics? Mamdani? 😂 He must scare them!

Big money donors gotta do their thang. Can’t have the dumbasses not getting their propaganda

This is the Biden/Mamdani crime wave! If only they'd supported Israel more for some reason also.🤡

I wondered why I stopped paying any attention to politico

Do Better @Politico!! You know he can’t control this now as a candidate!

They’d like to make him look bad, even though he has absolutely no responsibility OR power to do a thing!

@politico.com So lowbrow, their eyelashes double as pubes.

@politico.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @nytimes.com So how many tests does make for the actual Mayor Eric Adams?! Ten? 12? How did he test out on that Mangioni assassination?

No kidding.

Politico does buffoonery so well.😏

WTAF? Now we're blaming current disasters not only on previous govt officials but potential officials who might not even win? Granted MSM and a hopelessly incompetent regime have us living in a scripted reality, but credulity can be stretched only so far.

It’s too stupid not to be a paid advertisement.

What ever happened to the guy who lives in Fort Lee?

Exactly! What “test” of anyone NOT Mayor is that, exactly??

Anytime the people with money and in power are vehemently against something that is the universal sign it is likely something that would benefit the general populace.

What exactly do they think a Mayoral candidate can do?

OMG

🤣🤣🤣 Good one.

"Politico-F*cking It Up Since Day 1."

🤦🏼‍♀️

How absolutely fucking irresponsible of a “news organization” to muddy the waters surrounding a Democratic Socialist CANDIDATE. @politico.com you’re fucking morons.

Is this like a Trump “I can end the war in Ukraine before I even take office” sort of thing? Because no.

Yeah, they really don’t like him do they?

Republicans never take responsibility, and they think that is strength somehow.

... From Politico WTF ...

Isn't Cuomo still a candidate? Why isn't this HIS test?

„In 2021, Politico was acquired for reportedly over US$1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company. Axel Springer is Europe's largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider.“ -Wikipedia Axel Springer is a right-wing publisher.

Dear Politico, whut?

As mayoral nominee? Like on the job training?

Frankly, I'm most concerned about how Zohran's going to handle the Great Chicago Fire, the sinking of the Lusitania, and Prohibition.

Why isn't he planning to do something about the Tunguska Event or the Chicxulub impactor? It's like he's not even trying.

Has he even given thought to his response to the sanitation workers' strikes of 1968?!

NO!

How low has journalism fallen...

Why Politico NY Times and Axios SUCK!

Trump is running because anyone that talked back he an afraid of because he a bully .

Why didn’t Andrew Cuomo prevent this tragedy when he was in office? God he is somehow useless x YEARS.

🤣

that they added "nominee" tells me that they are fully aware that he doesn't yet have any power to do anything about it, and are perhaps instead hoping that a lot of people don't understand that being nominated for mayor is not the same as actively being mayor and will blame him for any wrong here

I thought it was Biden’s issue?

Huh? Are they drinking the wrong Kool-aid?

Politico’s terrified of Trumpstein

even if we know?

"... and that's why it's a problem for Biden" would be a valid extension.

I mean, Epstein "died" on Trump's watch and that's somehow Obama and/or Biden's fault, so I think we can just go ahead and add the entire space/time continuum to the list of things that can apparently just be ignored without consequence.

Of course, blame the person who can not do anything. To be clear, even if he were a mayor, the actions of a crazy person cannot be anticipated.

Almost certain that he is the next mayor

Blame Las Vegas for exporting their problems...

OMG Politico!

Things Politico does not think are nominee tests: - Health care - Public transportation - Affordable housing - Fair taxation - Genocide - Rabid inequality - The environment...

Expectations are so low for current useless mayor

They don't care, they're writing the future history and it will be about how everything wrong in the nation is the left's fault.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Is this real!???

bsky.app/profile/chri...

it is actually hilarious - okay, not in a good way, - but for sure takes away any Press credibility.

Politico sucks GOP scrotum

WT Total F!?

The mayor of NYC since 2022 IS Eric Adams.

Oh now we care about mass shootings? Got it!

I guess it shows how irrelevant the current mayor is and how important and relevant @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is … tie sooner Mamdani is Mayor the better

It's a media virus ... bsky.app/profile/dvja...

We need to create a virophage.

WTF - how about they concentrate on the current Mayors reaction FFS Their hoods are showing

Insane

Some outlets were also attempting to describe the shooter as "middle Eastern" early on.. pretty telling.

Politico….COME ON!

Ah, @politico.com ... The obvious tabloid-esque nature of their lazy and doctored reporting is almost blah.

Damn. So now they're judging his performance before he's even in the office. Eric Adams is the POS mayor of NYC but he's a trumper so....

At least it’s a chance to catch a glimpse of what right skewed is like

I hate to say this but it's true .. Adams has kissed the ring and has become an uncle tom for the racist wealthy elite to use . An article has already been published saying the same thing . Don't shoot the messenger. The elite want Cuomo in ,mamdani out .even old guard Dems are avoiding the issue.

I say Mamdani must stay in and he must now take a stand so everyone knows where he stands with this and everything else about NYC, it has a vast amount of issues!! America has a super mass amount of issues, we must get rid of the king! We The People Are AMERICA! Not Politicians.

The wealthy elite are going to point the finger at mamdani for everything that happens . They don't want him in.

Wow, they sure have it in for him.

How will Mamdani answer to the community for the threat posed by the Central Park 5? Or the Whitechapel Ripper? What about Grendel and all the warriors he ate? These are the challenges a mayor faces. it will be a heavy strain upon his credibility if he isn't able to rise to these types of occasions.

Ugh I hate the media

Wait who is the mayor of NYC? Do they have one right now

"Listen, I know everyone wishes I was in charge already, but let's have an election, and I'm more than happy to speak from City Hall after my election victory."

It's the "this could be bad for Biden" tactic, about all the corrupt things Trump was doing.

Why even have an election? He should just sit down in the mayor’s office and start governing.

Typical media bs. Why haven't the Democrats solved something they aren't in charge of? Adams doesn't qualify as Democrat, he's a member of the me-me, grift party.

Just ridiculous.

... once again immigrants have to do what natives can't

“Politico” sucks 🤧

Exactly, is the actual mayor even going to be questioned? This reminds me of that time Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and every thing that happened in the entire world was labeled her fault, but when the Rs installed Fats Pompeo he was responsible for absolutely nothing. Typical bullshit.

Wait! Now it's future politicians fault for present happenings?

Yep @politico.com is trash

BS

Stupid stupid stupid.

Politico are pure garbage. Blocked them a long time ago

Exactly! Failed NYC mayor Eric Adam’s is the mayor and is should who the media should be writing about 🤦🏻‍♀️

Shame on you @politico.com - give that article another correction You do know mayoral CANDIDATES have no power to address crimes - right? Fix your schitt🤦🏻‍♀️

Mamdani subsequently made a very poignant speech, much to his credit. He may not be NY's mayor yet, but he doesn't shy away from harsh reality.

Does seem that it'd be a good idea for the current mayor to have dealt with such issues in advance, but, erm, apparently they expect someone else who hasn't even been elected yet to do their work? The mind boggles........ 🤦‍♂️

It’s “Political” of course. 🙄

It’s so fricking laughable

Did they really print that? (It’s not that I don’t believe they would…but you just can’t tell anymore, political satire is DEAD!) 🤔

Trump Beer Hall putsch first test for non-existent Democratic administration. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

I hate that Politico keeps showing up in my feed.

Who knew Politico’s theme song originally appeared in the Wizard of Oz? That’s right,

Also @georgetakei.bsky.social, I think Politico violated the Temporal Prime Directive.

But, that’s like… work! Or journalism-ing, or something.

Nobody's going to ask Adams why he allowed the shooting to happen or what he's going to do about crime.

The current NYC mayor surely isn't former NYPD officer Eric Adams who should be facing these questions front and centre

Politico, wtf, as a candidate Mandani has zero control over the government. How is this a test??????

I'll take Politico seriously when they do an article on the lax gun laws in Las Vegas, NV, that allowed a man on heavy meds to access an assault weapon 🙄

Exactly it’s the pardoned corrupt mayor currently Adam’s

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯😊

TIGER BEAT ON THE POTOMAC. What else do they ever do but bullshit?

Headline: POOR NEWSPAPER EDITOR CANNOT BLAME AN EVENT IN NYC ON MAYORAL CANDIDATE WHO ISN'T CURRENTLY MAYOR!

Politico is the Beavis and Butthead News Network.

Politico, too? Just like the WSJ and the NYT. Acting like Mamdani, a candidate, should somehow show some responsibility for a role currently occupied by Eric Adams, also a candidate. A bit biased, don't you think?

Nothing like blaming stuff on a guy who has no power at the moment. They really want to take him down, the press is so compromised.

What is politicos aiming at here ?

Red herring news strikes again

Good grief, when are legacy media going to join us in the 21st century?

The media trying everything than can to beat this man down should be the biggest sign the public should support him.

Not

*Nut

Thanks for your input 🧌

🤡

Keepin em honest 🤝

Your are entitled to your opinion. It is stupid, but it’s yours.

🤦‍♂️

I literally cannot keep up with the stupid in the news media these days.

I mean at least he'll get the Incumbent Advantage (tm)

Wait.....A cop is the Mayor of NYC---a corrupt cop. Mass shootings are happening on his watch. But somehow, the Democratic candidate for mayor is responsible for solving mass shootings?

Wow @politico.com … did you google what would Fox News say here?

Right?

Regardless of what the media is trying to do. Mamdani's response was beautiful. I

then Id say he passed with flying colours A+

@georgetakei.bsky.social So you've lived through every conceivable hell ever imagined, yet you still fight for justice. You still face constant persecution for your views..yet you continue to stand up for what's right. How do you still continue to have faith in this shattered country?

Unbelievable! Now the unelected nominees are being held accountable for the failings of the current office holder?

It’s @politico.com Don’t expect any journalism standards

I'm pretty sure that's why it says nominee. You're getting too old for quips.

"Mass shooting becomes some guy who isn't the mayor and has no political power or position of any sort's first test as some guy who isn't the mayor and has no political or position of any sort" does expanding this help you understand why it's stupid or are you just being that way on purpose

Everyone is talking about mahmdani its not confusing why dying media drops his name in every headline, are you being serious on my sarcastic post on purpose?

He is not Mayor yet - this was a test for the current Mayor.

What is he supposed to do besides say platitudes?

wtf?!? the man is a candidate, not the mayor! is the social media “press” (politic) really this stupid/partisan/trumped up? oh. wait. politico nevermind…

Fuck Politico. It's been a fascist rag forever.

This makes no sense. They have a dog Mayor NOW. IT'S HIS PROBLEM. Not the dude who is not even elected yet. Is this a test for the OTHER candidates? Or just this guy?

Up until very recently, Georgetown, Colorado, had a dog mayor. His name was Parker the Snow Dog. He died in a car crash in February, which, honestly, I find suspect as hell.

Damn Mayor not dog Mayor 🤦🏻‍♀️

🤣🤣🤣

I like dogs so shithead would be better all around

dog mayor would be dope tho

It's New York. He's a hot dog mayor

I mean he has clubs to skip the line to go to and designer shirts to show off .. it’s not his fault ..

Remember when that dude couldn’t even wait till 1202 to be sworn in? At that moment I was like this dude kbly cares about himself

I wasn't going to argue with you. it seemed right enough 😆

The auto correct did me dirty!! People don't seem mad though.

It’s one of those situations where autocorrect had the right idea! 😆

Don't worry, my dogs can't read.

Dog mayor on zoom:

The current mayor is dog shit, you were kinda right.

That’s what I was thinking.

When is a typo not a typo?

When a type is autocorrected?

'Dog Mayor' made perfect sense to me.

Dog for Mayor 🐶

It's fine. Bad publicity isn't and that's how they will all know his name.

Hey, the 2008 market meltdown was blamed on Obama even before he was elected, much less sworn in. And where was President Obama during Hurricane Katrina (2005)? (Well, a brand new senator from Illinois).

What was Obama doing on 9/11 www.youtube.com/shorts/AyN34...

😆💀😭

They'll be asking where was obama during 9/11 next. Chances are pretty good he was at home with a soda reading the newspaper, it was a Tuesday.

They already asked where Mamdani was on 9/11. I kid you not!

www.huffpost.com/entry/debra-...

Debra Messing actually siding with genocide.

I don’t even know who she is

A has-been actor from the 90s. And genocide enthusiast.

Just googled. Photo Op’s with IOF in 2023…

IOF? Or IDF?

They didn't just do that, they faked a Twitter post of him celebrating on 9/11. Twitter, in 2001. Which wouldn't be creating until 2006.

The guy was about 9 years old in 2001! It’s truly ridiculous

They've been asking that for a few years now, actually.

I was about to say this.

TBF, the meltdown wasn't his fault, but the way he handled it was just as bad.

🙄

You know... this. bsky.app/profile/colo...

Where does this sound familiar from? Hmmm...

....?

I believe that social murder is where we're at, right here at home.

Yeah. 😓

This opinion piece tells the homeowner side... www.freep.com/story/opinio...

What...? jacobin.com/2021/06/bara...

Are you kidding me

Politico - you need to rethink this absurd headline

Sure go after the nominee and not the current mayor ugh stupid Islamophobia

Why don't they just say 'Thanks, Obama' and be done with it?

ERIC ADAMS! Google it!

Eric Adams Mayor of New York City

Isn't the current Mayor also a candidate?

Politico is tainted garbage

I am NOT looking forward to the constant media gaslighting against Mamdani coming our way. Just block all these publications now. They're not serious journalistic outlets.

Good grief

Anything bad done by a person with melanin will be blamed on Mamdani.

NOMINEE!

No kidding. Idiots, and that is being far too kind.

So @politico.com has fully bent the knee to the Oligarchy. Got it.

kabiragorillasafaris.com/uganda-famil...

WOW. . . . really badly formed propaganda. At least old russian propaganda had a small amount of truth in it.

Wait suddenly Maga's care about mass shootings? Funny that but the next one in Texas or Florida will just "thoughts and prayers" then moving on

Under the guy that Trump kept out of jail, 2024: "NYPD pursuits up more than 644%, costing city taxpayers millions in crash claims" abc7ny.com/post/police-... www.propublica.org/article/nypd...

Right-wing sociopaths at Politico probably love this, an innocent bystander shot in the head by the NYPD over an alleged theft of a transit ride ($2.90). 2024: "Bystander Shot in the Head by N.Y.C. Police Chasing Alleged Subway Fare Evader" people.com/bystander-sh...

Right wing idiots at Politico put a photo of a New York State Police car (mayor of NYC has no control over the New York State Police). Right-wingers like Politico love this corrupt cop (this corrupt asswipe loves Trump) 2023: www.vice.com/en/article/f...

The Republicans wacko bots are on the job!

Exactly! Ridiculousness

🤦‍♀️

What is @politico.com malfunction? They "report the news" like some cry baby whiners. I guess their "publisher/producer" must have deep pockets. Because if this is the drivel that is going to be produced from their news room the the AI isn't the only thing dampening
