1 Instead, many say they have been deeply disappointed.

You ain't seen nothing yet!

3 Given how well Mamdani plays with others, he is probably going down in history as a 1 term mayor that didn't get much done.

4 Sounds like a plan, Chantry.

5 The Orange Man is keeping Mamdani close. "Friends close, enemies closer."

6 It’s hard to see who could be his replacement. It requirement seems to be that the next administration must meet the criteria of being worse. Geraldo Rivera lives in Cleveland, Rosie O’Donnell has fled the country, Omar will be deported by then and Moslems aren’t voting in Jossie.

7 How about that wild-eyed Stalanist harpy that hates middle-class homeowners? The one he put in charge of renters rights? She seems qualified to be mayor of the big apple!

8 I'm surprised that blacks are surprised by this. Maybe they should study their own history a bit more closely.

9 /\ They are not "surprised" in the least.

In America, we have this strong bias toward individual action. You know, we idolize the John Wayne hero who comes in to correct things with both guns blazing. But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unit in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.

A Zohran Mamdami quote? No, it's from Obama's first election in his 1995 Illinois Senate Seat run and win. Surely you remember Obama. He's the pal of America hating preacher Jeremiah Wright.

This is not our fist dance with communists.

10 it's from Obama's first election in his 1995 Illinois Senate Seat run and win.

He replaced incumbent State Senator Alice Palmer on the ticket in 1996 (by political maneuvering and deception) after she came up short in the Congressional race to replace Congressman Mel Reynolds who was under indictment for sex crimes.

Chicago politics could be serious entertainment if they weren't so egregious.
