WTF

Last edited Fri Nov 7, 2025, 07:26 AM - Edit history (1)

Those NYC-ers who aren't rushing to sell their penthouses or shoot themselves on air are working behind the scenes to sabotage Zohran Mamdani's administration before it even commences.

FDNY Commissioner, Robert Tucker, has resigned because of perceived anti-Israel stances of Mamdani despite the latter's reassurance that he represents all New Yorkers.

Now a host of one of two RW radio stations is attempting to persuade Jessica Tisch to resign as well, solely because she is Jewish and this would be a protest gesture. (The host is also Jewish and is using his platform to espouse that Jews are in danger with Mamdani in Gracie Mansion.) It isn't obvious what her choice will be. Mamdani wants her to remain into his administration.

Yeah, sure both positions can be filled with competent replacements. But my point is there are those who want the Mamdani administration to fail and for the city to fail because of him. I'm certain that his transition team is aware of this and are being proactive.

that they want to sabotage it’s new mayor. They are haters who don’t give a damn about the possibility of making life better for their fellow NYers.

The RW radio show host is using the theme of Jews vicariously fearing Mamdani as a Muslim to perpetuate October 7/Gaza situation. What he's really trying to accomplish is either to viewed as a political force (King Maker) or to get a gig on FOX News.

10. Question. Where is the proof that New Yorkers are running away from NY City? Where is that?

I have a lot of friends who live in NY, no one can see any changes, besides the excitement of having a new Mayor.

Does anyone here have any hard data about it?

If its true, then good for NY, the crap is leaving, that can only be good. It is sort of a laxative for the city, if we think about it.

12. They likely aren't. But it makes good copy for Murdoch's NY Post.

Trade Manhattan for Florida with hurricanes, humidity, and DeSantis?

Maybe Jared and Ivanka have self-exiled themselves, but the movers and shakers will remain in Manhattan.
