The Criminal Indictment of New York City’s Mayor

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

​@@jamespryor7358 Oh, basically, politicians like this that are (bad in general and many ways that are more than one word), are disappearing a bit. It like cleaning a bathtub our of the grim it had from a year ago, or in this case, YEARS. And this is mostly from bad toxic Southern influence interference from the past they want back without caring for anyone else wanting to change. Which hence the phase "Draining the swamp", because the "swamp" is also from the south.

What a disgrace. There used to be a day when investigative reporters uncovered corruption they especially a very straightforward case like this. Now she's saying that there's rumors that he lives in NJ. Seriously? They can't even get to the bottom of THAT??? What's next? Maybe that's why it went on for a decade. Reporters couldn't get to the bottom of airline tickets upgrades?? Hotel upgrades?

[@carboy101]

Can we please retire the word "unprecedented". It's over- used and uninteresting.

[@indo3000]

Do you have a better word to use?

[@n3ak3]

A dozen, but they depend on the context. Unexpected, ghastly, unusual, shocking, surprising and so on. It's the news trying to seperate news from opinion, and thus trying to convey importance based largely on whether something has happened before, but it means very little in a world where things change very quickly.

[@reespace]

​@@n3ak3 the words you chose are basically inappropriate. They don't convey how exclusive and historic this is. It is unprecedented.

[@n3ak3]

@@reespace I don't think the word unprecedented carries the weight you think it does in 2024. Every other podcaster/ KZbinr uses it incessantly. I don't think it adds the weight that the speaker intends.

[@kg356]

@@n3ak3 Unprecedented has a specific meaning - something that hasn't happened before. The words you suggested don't capture that meaning. Seems like you are unfamiliar with the term "precedent" - you should look that up.

9:15 There have been allegations questioning the authenticity of the photograph Mayor Eric Adams claims to carry of his late friend, Officer Robert Venable, who died in the line of duty. Emma Fitzsimmons of The New York Times reported that the photo may have been created more recently by aides, rather than being the longstanding keepsake Adams has claimed it to be. This report led to controversy, with Adams’ administration and Venable’s family defending the story, stating that Adams’ friendship with Venable was genuine, and the photograph holds sentimental value. Fitzsimmons brought this issue to light in a podcast, suggesting that the story surrounding the photo may have been fabricated to bolster Adams’ connection to his policing past . However, no conclusive evidence has been publicly provided to definitively settle the matter.

[@DFNUVS]

13:00 While many New York City mayors have traveled extensively during their tenure, there is no record of any previous mayor being publicly scrutinized or indicted for accepting trips or upgrades similar to the allegations against Mayor Eric Adams. Past mayors, such as Michael Bloomberg (elected 2001) and Bill de Blasio (elected 2013), were known for their own travel, but not for receiving questionable benefits like luxury accommodations or business-class upgrades from foreign entities. If any mayors had taken similar liberties, these details were not widely reported or legally challenged as they have been in the case of Eric Adams.

[@DFNUVS]

16:00 There is no comprehensive public record that details how many of the 122 mayors of New York City have directly cleared building construction projects for foreign corporations or governments. However, it is common for large-scale development projects in a global city like New York to involve foreign investment or partnerships, often requiring the city’s approval for zoning, permits, and construction. Past mayors, including Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio, oversaw significant foreign investments, but specific examples of direct approvals by them are generally tied to broad development policy rather than individual favors to foreign governments.

What impressed me was that, when Asian immigrants opposed the establishment of a homeless shelter in their own Brooklyn community, this African American man actually accused them of being racist. While many African Americans often claim police discrimination when caught committing crimes, it's truly shocking that, as a mayor, he would call Asians fighting for their rights racists. This clearly shows that this person has serious moral issues. I hope the police conduct a thorough investigation and put him in jail.
