There’s always SOME herb in the voter guide who utterly wastes it and is always “I’ll walk in Day 1 and shut down this office!!!” It’s like 9/10 times a Libertarian Party Man, but I can’t act surprised that it’s the remnant of the NYC GOP now. It makes me wonder who they’re going to try to run for mayor next time. Malliotakis whiffed hard, and no one knows Ulrich outside his council district. Another Joe Lhota shithead businessman type? Lhota himself, with a Cuomo endorsement?

kneejerk bans done as a result of feeling like we have to do something have only had 100% positive consequences time after time if you want a less controversial example, polls were very much against the collapse of the Amazon deal, and i'm willing to bet they still would be if you took it today get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 16:08 on Oct 7, 2019 |

yeah but there are legit ones smuggled in and then there are counterfeit ones that are filled with trash. the brand getting people sick, dank vapes iirc, isnt a brand, but an official looking box/cartridge you can buy cheap and fill with whatever you want to sell. its a wild west situation unless you trust your dealer when he says his carts are the real thing brought in from colorado etc

I went through the process of getting it legally (sciatic nerve issues), turns out all you need is a piss test, a doctor who's free with it, and money. I decided not to because of the cost, which is outrageous.

longtime house member and current chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Nita Lowey, recently announced she'll be retiring at the end of her term. in light of that, here's an interview with Mondaire Jones, who was planning a primary challenge against her but is now in an open race. important bits: Lowey refused to fight to restore the openly discriminatory SALT deduction and actually increased funding to ICE in her tenure as chair of Appropriations. he's not declaring himself a democratic socialist but does support a $15 minimum wage, Medicare for All, and the Green New Deal

the media's double standards for de blasio and cuomo's pettiness is on full display when the latter unilaterally declares to make a statue for Mother Cabrini, supposedly the leading vote-getter in the "women who made NYC" contest, because the former decided to go with someone else. with de blasio there is much gnashing of teeth, with cuomo there's an ironclad belief that this is the way things have always been also cuomo channeled his inner Cum Town character by saying the n-word and saying Italian-Americans were oppressed too like it's an apples-to-apples comparison

Is writing "Council President" instead of "for Council President" in your fliers as big a deal as the current council president in Troy making out of it? She's a disingenuous piece of poo poo, but on the other hand that does look a bit misleading, although it's hard to interpret the part that she cut off, under the picture, "I'll bring my experience and record in public service, community organizing, and advocacy to better address the needs of Troy residents", as coming from an incumbent.

things got pretty heated between Ritchie Torres and Melissa Mark-Viverito when they were angling for the Stonewall Democratic Club's endorsement last night. frankly, i'm convinced that Ruben Diaz Sr is going to win and the entire reason Gustavo Rivera didn't bother running is because he wants to take him on as a primary challenger in the next election

Cuomo sure knows how to pick'emquote:Already strapped for cash thanks to the funky financing of the new Tappan Zee Bridge, the state Thruway Authority now faces an unexpectedly large bill for repairs on the three-mile stretch of I-90 — thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s failed effort to use the project to blackmail the sovereign Seneca Nation. I'm sure the Daily News will find a way to spin this as de Blasio's fault, somehow.

Got another flier from him and that hasn't been fixed, guess he did the right thing and ignored her. In other news, I could swear I posted about it here when he was forced out, but the extremely unlikely Republican candidate for Troy mayor is back in the race. This whole story is completely weird, and might contain some much-needed fallout for our piece of poo poo county executive, McLaughlin.
