Adams is just dumb as gently caress and super corrupt, so I'm assuming some crypto bro gave him a suitcase of cash and now he's just parroting words with no idea what they mean. Like does anyone believe "the kids" are coming up to him and saying they aren't afraid of bitcoins anymore?

I assume that a few weeks after he takes office the comptroller's office or whoever is responsible for paying people will write a report saying "it isn't feasible to rework the entire payroll system and we can't legally force people to get paid in anything that USD" and Adams will not even remember and care and have found a shiny new ratbucket to shill by then anyway.

To be clear, if we accept as give that Adams actually lives in Jersey, the where in Jersey is not and has never been a mystery; his girlfriend, with whom it is presumed he lives when not sleeping out of his office in Borough Hall in Brooklyn, lives in Fort Lee.

Our piece of poo poo county exec has been arrested!

:sickos:

quote:

NEW YORK – Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday the arrest and indictment of Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin, 58, for stealing thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.

According to the report, McLaughlin, following his election to County Executive but while still serving in the New York State Assembly, allegedly withdrew $5,000 from his campaign fund and directed that $3,500 of it be given to one of his staffers to pay the candidate’s personal debts.

McLaughlin is charged with third-degree grand larceny for the $3,500 campaign fund theft and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing for the related filing of a financial disclosure report with the New York State Board of Elections on Dec. 4, 2017, claiming that the campaign expenditure was for “consulting,” though it was being diverted for his personal use. If convicted of the felony charges, McLaughlin will be removed from office pursuant to Public Officers Law Section 30(1)(e).

Here's hoping for a speedy trial! :allears:

Why would this be? She's apparently running for reelection for DA, so it can't be because of a soon-to-drop scandal.

It's way too early to be concerned with internal polling, she just announced a month ago.

Why the sudden change in heart? She just announced major endorsements last month!

Hope it clears a lane for Jumaane, but I thought she had a solid shot and would have been a good candidate.

E: AG. Tish James is the state AG, not DA. D'oh.

Considering Jay Jacobs immediately pounced on this announcement, might be some backroom deal.

lol.

On Dec. 8, Hochul attended a fundraiser arranged by the Manhattan law firm Feuerstein Kulick, a major player in the expanding field of cannabis law. The firm advises companies on winning licenses from state governments across the country. New York has yet to select the companies that will win potentially lucrative licenses to sell recreational marijuana.

An email obtained by the Times Union indicates that one week before the fundraiser, Feuerstein Kulick attorney Nancy Baynard encouraged cannabis clients to donate heavily, stating that the firm was in touch with the “director of finance for Hochul’s administration/campaign.”

Adams has a sort of Trumpian high energy that the other Dems don't. Calling himself the future of the Democratic Party to openly stake a claim and to get people talk about it.
