nah she wants the sexism removed but wants to keep racism and bigotry intact. No one told her its a package deal.

"Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat."

Wait, so as far as I understand she wants the sexism removed from republican party but wants all the other stuff like racism and bigotry to remain? I am sorry dear, they come as a package, drown in the shit hole that you fought so hard to protect.

I have a theory that people who do this and people who ride really loud motorbikes do so because they have not received enough attention and validation from their parents and are now seeking it elsewhere

wow didn't know about this guy till I read the stuff here. The politicians' threshold for feeling shame / fear of punishment sure has gone down the drain.

survivorship bias...

It is just not amenability, he fucking showed actual mental agility and maturity when deflecting questions such as "Do you still think he is a fascist" directed at Mamdani. What the actual fuck? Is this guy a robit whose programming changes depending on the situation?

Sheer number of times Trump has made conflicting statements about Ukrainian war tells me what he says does not really matter at all. People who know how to operate him gets their requests met.

That was one weird hell of a meeting, that it was. I especially love how some people are like "I am not at all surprised". Sure buddy in retrospect everything is always very clear.

Sure it is politics but these two people were at each other's throats for the last couple months. And Trump has insulted Sadik Khan, mayor of London, every chance he gets, for almost a decade, because Sadik Khan called him ignorant once, about ten years ago. He doesn't even stand to gain much from this, it is just petty feud. Trump is a vindictive man child. And yet somehow he pretended like he was best friends with a guy who called him a fascist about a month ago. And the way he showed mental agility to deflect questions from reporters like "Do you still think he is a fascist" to save both Mamdani and himself from a difficult spot is so unlike Trump. I would never in a decade think he can display such mental feats and maturity. And yet here we are.

Either Trump thinks he is losing too much support and shifting to center, or he thinks he stands to lose much more financially by losing control of NYC to an enemy rather than someone neutral(ish). It might be both, acting vindictively on NYC might be both a big support and financial loss for him. Or alternatively Trump isn't this strategic and Mamdani just has found Trump's levers and is manipulating him by saying the right things.

It makes more sense from Mamdani's point of view that this was a win. He did not get the vindictive wrath of Trump on NYC (which could have terrible effects on his mayoral term tbh), he did not have to make a statement about backing from any of his policies or ideologies he stated during his campaigning. He also did not really praise Trump (unlike Trump somewhat praising him) but just said they will work together to make NYC better. How this will play out in terms of ICE and increasing racism is to be seen. He will definitely lose some support because of this but he has four years to make up for this.

In last April:

What is to be expected when the current trend among CEOs is to get the same stuff done with less employees and same salaries hence resulting in either you getting fired, resigning or doing x2 the amount of work with no real life improvements. Who would have the willingness to continue their side hobbies/project like contributions to open source when your main life is in shambles.
