It’s a particularly nefarious state of ignorance that the telegraph is impregnating you with.

Miranda seems writes the truth, all the time.


Legendary former NYPD police commissioner Bill Bratton, who used the Broken Windows theory to drive down crime in New York in the ‘90s, took to Twitter to comment on the Post front page.
“I can’t believe these characters are back bothering hundreds if not thousands of drivers every day” he wrote. “Along with fare evasion and graffiti vandals, they were the symbol of a city and transit system in unchecked decline.”

It’s a sad indictment of the seven-year reign of de Blasio, who has spent much of the last year swanning around the country on his farcical failed presidential bid and now is popping up all over to endorse socialist frontrunner Bernie Sanders, most recently in Nevada before the caucuses this weekend. Anything to escape the city where he is reviled.

Sanders may come to regret the gesture since de Blasio, in his usual klutzy way, arrived in Las Vegas with a sore throat. If you’re a 78-year-old socialist who’s just had a heart attack and you’re fighting a gruelling election campaign, the last thing you want is some goofball from New York coughing and sneezing all over you.

De Blasio’s two terms will be up next year but there is no saviour on the horizon to do a Giuliani.

New Yorkers are like frogs in boiling water as their quality of life declines, but they really only have themselves to blame for taking their safe big city for granted.

In his last election in 2017, de Blasio won with just 726,000 votes in a city of almost nine million people – that’s barely more than 8 per cent. Such was the enthusiasm for Mayor Putz that he elicited the lowest turnout in 100 years.

New Yorkers were too apathetic to vote and look where it’s landed them.

Well there you go.
Looks like it's too late now.

Lawyer: Assange was offered US pardon if he cleared Russia

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to claim during an extradition hearing that the Trump administration offered him a pardon if he agreed to say Russia was not involved in leaking Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 U.S. election campaign, a lawyer for Assange said Wednesday.

The Australian national is being held at a British prison while he fights extradition to the United States to face spying charges. His full court hearing is due to begin next week.

At a preliminary hearing held Wednesday in London, lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said that now-former Republican congressman, Dana Rohrabacher, visited Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in August 2017.

Fitzgerald said a statement from another Assange lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, recounted "Mr Rohrabacher going to see Mr Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr Assange...said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.”

I would've taken the deal. [if all that is being said is true].
But then I wouldn't have messed around with US govt/national security in the first place.

Trump to (mini-Mike) Bloomberg:  "No standing on boxes"

Heh

[Yankguy1]

Bloomberg would be taller than Trump, though, if they stood on their wallets and that must kill Trump.

Donald's big on "humor" that demeans people.   I remember how he treated the reporter with a physical disability, back in 2016.   And women he deems unattractive.  And women he thinks might be menstruating.   And women who are easy sexual targets.  And teens with autism.  And Charles Krauthammer (for being paralyzed).  And... well,  basically,  he's retained the "humor" arsenal of a middle school bully.   

Sure you want him for a role model for our young people,  KC?

Heh

You sure do love making fun of people for characteristics over which they have no control.

I bet you were a laugh riot around the SPED children in school Kid.

"We're 39th! We're 39th!"

Thanks, Donald.

The United States ranks lower than 38 other countries on measurements of children's survival, health, education and nutrition -- and every country in the world has levels of excess carbon emissions that will prevent younger generations from a healthy and sustainable future, according to a new report.

The report, published in the medical journal The Lancet on Tuesday, ranked 180 countries based on a "child flourishing index" and the United States came in at No. 39.

Countries also were ranked by levels of excess carbon emissions -- specifically researchers took a close look at estimated levels for 2030. Based on that data, the United States ranked No. 173 for sustainability, according to the report.

Something for you to be proud of, Kid, and for Ward to say "LOL" to.

Not after this Presidency - and all the $$ from secret service, foreign dignitaries and the like - and Mike's waste on the campaign.

And the BOOKS to come - mon dieu.

Were, unless you accept this imposter is still not and never will be president.

Kiid had a whole row to himself on the short bus, restraints and all.

Beside the point. Blumberg did not qualify for the Vegas debate under DNC rules.
Except, of course, for the fact he could write big checks to make sure Bernie can’t be nominated.
Thus the state of a rudderless and dying democrat party.

I noticed you bowdlerized the rest of Oilcan's post.   Not able to really deal with that reality of what Trump is,  I'd imagine. 

Surveys have shown for years that young people include the sitting POTUS as one of their role models.   I hope the percentage is down now,  but some recent school incidents of a violent nature suggest some young people still emulate the POTUS.   Character matters,  chum.   

[kiidcarter8]

Trump SUPPORTERS are bullied in school as well.  Its just unpublicized.

Led by the nose...
