the only difference between evangelical christianity and hasidic judaism is their place of origin. it's remarkable how similar they are. maybe the Satmars should move to Mississippi, they'd have an easier time there (sort of)

And I want to commend the assemblyman from Williamsburg, who did stand up for our Torah institutions.
i'm not surprised that Joe Lentol stood up for the Satmars. he keeps them loyal, and in turn, they support him. he's a real gently caress

if there are any frum lurkers (not holding my breath), is it true that yeshivas use the brown paper bag test as a barrier for entry? this is what someone who was once in the hasidic community told me

There's an apostate Satmar on the down-low with a thread in A/T, you could ask him, or he may have already answered it there in some form or another.

There’s 38 committees and 38 Democrats. Everyone gets to chair something. Mental Health, and the Internet Subcommittee are essentially being buried in the basement for their levels of seniority.

i see my state senator is having a normal one again. he once had to be restrained by colleagues on the senate floor while he called Savino a bitch, and he also slammed a Post reporter's hand in a car door. his apology got ratio'd to hell on Twitter, and that must have weighed on him because he walked it back somewhat by calling her a twitter troll

yeah, but placard abuse is the corruption version of littering: against the law, but so minor in the grand scheme of things that nobody gives a poo poo or ever will

fun aside: my friend not only disagreed with my comparison, he also said "small corruption leads to big corruption" and used the example of NYPD abusing parking placards. you know, the guys who use that exact justification to crack down on petty crime. :ironicat:

On a scale of 1-10, how bullshit is this story: Cuomo critics assume oversight roles - Abinanti, Skoufis say investigations committees will be active

quote:

Two Democratic state legislators known for their willingness to challenge Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will take over committees in January responsible for oversight of the executive branch.

The new leadership has the potential to change what has been standard practice for the past eight years, in which the Legislature has largely avoided public confrontations with the governor and rarely held agency heads to account outside of occasionally contentious budget hearings.

The incoming committee chairs, Assemblyman Thomas Abinanti and state Sen.-elect James Skoufis, have both indicated a desire to reassert the Legislature's checks and balances to ensure state government is transparent and accountable.

"There is a new tenor in the Legislature, a new spirit," Abinanti said.

While the full agenda for 2019 is still under construction, he stressed that his committee would exercise any of its powers to fulfill its duties — including issuing subpoenas. In a statement, Skoufis concurred.

god i hope it's real. it's too early to tell, but it seems like the Assembly and Senate are more willing to stand up to Cuomo to some degree, although probably not enough to make this a priority

lmao look at the Chamber of Commerce shithead response

quote:

Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce thanks Governor Cuomo for his understanding of the burdens that adding bereavement leave to the paid family leave law would place upon business and for his leadership in vetoing the bill. Rochester Chamber respects the bill's sponsors and their intent to ensure families have time to properly mourn the loss of loved ones.

However, members have shared with us that the benefits provided by the bereavement leave bill would have posed undue difficulties on business in both cost and staff productivity. Governor Cuomo heard this from Rochester Chamber members as well as businesses across the state and took the appropriate action.
