Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss NYC's future, amid speculation about a potential presidential pardon for Adams.

The mayor is under federal indictment in a corruption probe he claims is politically motivated.

Trump previously commented he might consider a pardon but said he needs more details.

New Yorkers pick the best mayors /s

So a fact I learned a few years ago still highlights the NYC mayor problem to me:

If NYC were a country, it would have the 13th largest economy in the world, between Canada and Russia.

With that in mind: THESE are the people we have to choose from to run this thing?!

I guess the guy who says he drinks tap water like a robot under duress is the cream of the crop

It looks like he's about to spit it out for a split second as he's drinking it at the end there.

More when you count New Jersey residents (like Adams)

The amount of people just throwing themselves at his feet. It's like admit your sins to Treasus and he shall pardon you, for a price.
