Lots of Fox News watchers in Florida based on my observations here, on both coasts (more so on this side, it seems).

Yeah, Fox is for the MAGA Boomers and MSNBC is for the Vote BlueAnon No Matter Who Boomers. Those are like literally the only people that watch that shit.

And I don’t even know who CNN is for. Retards maybe?

I agree with this. The diehard Fox News viewers who live in Buttfuck Egypt, Nebraka in the middle of fucking nowhere who have never been to New York City and will likely never go to New York City losing their minds over him has been pretty fun to watch imo.
I must be missing the fun.   From my view and conversations- nobody cares.

If he has nothing to hide, why would he incriminate himself?
One of the best lectures I have heard on why not to talk to the police.  I think this applies to congress and any other authority who can screw you over.

It was a law school lecture probably 20 years ago

The concept of a Senate is good, I think, though one can certainly argue the compromise on its structure is ... debatable.  The concept of the Electoral College has strengths, and weaknesses, like most things.  Democrats don't like it, Republicans usually do, because it favors or disfavors their strengths.  No need to get into them, the EC isn't going away, though the Compact of the States could change things without an Amendment.  Maybe.

The problem with the Senate is it is no longer elected by the states.  THe 17th amendment needs to be repealed.  Too much power was been taken from the states because the state legislatures have no say any more.

That’s not the point - Bernie claims Mamdani is “fighting the oligarchy” but he’s getting financed by the oligarchy.  In other words, Bernie with all his silly hand waving is full of shit.  I hate these clowns that pretend to be the paragons of virtue from their luxury jets. 
Trump got credit for acknowledging he was taking advantage of the absurd tax loopholes, on a point Clinton tried to get him on.

But I guess that only works if you're on a certain side of things.

What is one example of Trump's "absurd tax loopholes"?

I do know that in property there are considerable advantages to be had on things like depreciation.  I'm not sure those are "absurd tax loopholes".

“But Trump!” :93:

Has Trump said he is fighting the oligarchy?  No which means this issue has absolutely nothing to do with him.  

Show me the next time Bernie or Mamdani donates their salary to charity - or in other words, puts their money where their mouth is.

I don't think one can "fight the oligarchy" without being either in it, or supported by it.

well that’s because you are a better man than I and stay off the twitters.

The MAGA influencers and their base on there were going beserk and none of them even live in NYC. They are all in like Tennessee or Texas lol. 

I find it hilarious they care so much about who the mayor is of a city they don’t live in much less a state they the don’t live in. 

I’m with Cincy. It’s pretty hard to a mayor to ruin a city in a term or two. Takes decades of poor leadership to destroy a city- not one term. If this Mamdani guy is that bad they’ll just vote him out after one term and get a new mayor.

it’s pretty clear this whole thing with the doctor is just political theater. They could’ve given him complete & total immunity if they wanted to get to the bottom of Biden’s mental & physical health cover up.

And as I stated earlier, don’t blame him for pleading the fifth at all. it’s clear as day he covered for Biden and why lie under oath and commit perjury when you can just plead the 5th?
