The Awful Mayor De Blasio





New York's Mayor De Blasio has announced via Twitter a convenient way to rat on your neighbor if he's not obeying "social distancing" dictates. Simply take some photos of the counter-revolutionary in flagrante delecto and text them to hizzonor at 311-692. Happily, the proposal has been soundly rejected (or "ratioed," to use current parlance) by the citizenry of New York. Sadly, the rejection will have no effect on the mayor. De Blasio is the most incompetent, stupid and thieving major since the days of Boss Tweed, Tammany and George Washington Plunkett. Yet despite a horrendous first term, with one disaster following another, poll numbers in the cellar and scathing letters in the New York Times by their liberal readership raking him over the coals, he easily won re-election, despite an able female Republican opponent, and used that victory as a springboard for his hapless presidential campaign.

In New York (and most other Democrat cities and states), the only requirements these days for holding public office are not having an "R" after your name, the ability to mindlessly declaim hard-left platitudes and non-stop inveighing against anyone even slightly to your political right. The days when Democrat New Yorkers would hold their noses and vote for a Giuliani or even a Bloomberg are long past.
