I knew it!

Charles Carter4 said:Look, I get it, you can't just fire him on a whim.
It's just as obvious as the fact that he's a Republican through and through, that he got his position through party connections, that his sister is a criminal, that he's out there driving around without a license, and that people helped him cheat on his civil service exams and all that nonsense.
What I don't get, though, is why you feel the need to defend every single move TT makes as if he were your own flesh and blood.
If he messed up—and in this specific case, he definitely did—then we should be calling him out on it so the same mistake doesn't happen again.

Hold on—so now the most basic legal concept, the fact that you can't just fire people whenever you feel like it, is considered "defending someone like they're your brother"?

It isn't about your personal feelings... the issue is whether there's a legitimate argument for why it can't happen.

Kaćunko, where is your conscience? 😁

Besides, defending Tomašević might come in handy.
Politicians only have as much power as the support they get from voters.

If you sit there and start whining too much, Drpimir Filipović will be right there to "help" you out... by shutting you down. 😁

Kačunko, take a beat here. Lately, you’ve been posting like you haven't got a clue what's actually happening. 😁

It's not that you don't get why you can't just hand out terminations whenever you feel like it—you'd end up facing a lawsuit and paying damages, which is just a basic, proven fact... and one that courts have upheld plenty of times before—but instead, you just complain;

and then, to make matters worse, you treat the actual facts of the situation as if they were just some imaginary scenario, like those fake rumors about Tolušić getting hired.

Out of nowhere, too.

Then you go shouting at the Official Gazette, throwing accusations everywhere based on your own made-up theories, and somehow acting like someone else is at fault during the conversation. 😁

There's just no sense in writing like this. I mean, technically you're making points, but statements and opinions still need to be grounded in some kind of reality...😁

Charles Carter4 said:Yeah, sure, until he gets fired for being a Republican Party crony who got the job and passed his civil service exam just because the Republican Party pulled strings—and because his sister, who's a minister accused of corruption, fixed everything for him.

The issue here is that you can't just hand out terminations however you imagine. 😁

You have to deal with reality a bit, otherwise you're just shouting into the void...

In this case, she's only been accused—which means, first of all, she's legally innocent—so you can't act on that alone. You don't have any actual evidence of "fixing the job"... without proof, you aren't breaking anything. The contract is signed, so you just move forward the best way you can, not how you wish it worked.

If you had room to maneuver, fine.

But when you don't, you respect the legal order for what it is. You don't go head-first into a wall just to end up paying him damages later, while also having to pay a successor...

And besides, it's not always as straightforward as "he has ties to the Republican Party, therefore automatic firing."

The propaganda machine keeps throwing out those low-effort baits—nothing but bottom-tier scraps—but people still scramble to be the first ones through the door... 😁

And once again, if you actually care.

If you just want to complain—ignore this:


You can call in, ask questions, or vent. . .

You can also listen to older segments on the same page.

There really isn't much of a dilemma here.
Anyone who cares already knows 😁

True, but when was the last time he actually called Edge on his cell?

They were actually pretty good together...

Edward Lee7 said:"I could..."

it's not like everyone in this city is just splitting the loot among themselves...

Are you somehow caught in the crossfire or something? Is that why you won't stop whining?

👍

The Republican Party, apparently, is the only one with "real talent." 😁

One steals construction materials, another goes hunting for journalists' kids, and a third is sitting in prison for multi-million dollar theft.
That's what I call having talent...😁

I really wonder why people actually like Eric Adams!

Not quite 😁

Kevin Davis11 said:Come on, don't be so dramatic, he didn't pay for The Rolling Stones, just TBF.

They were actually trying to book Thompson. And even if they had, you wouldn't see those types from news outlets complaining about it.
The thing is... Thompson wouldn't have done it.

😁

hollowmason64 said:They aren't distancing themselves at all; they’re just playing both sides to look decent. Honestly, this Ante Gotovina guy is just obsessed with building his own brand, and he's talking nonsense just to make it happen.

Quincy:

If Petek had been chosen instead of Ante Gotovina, the Democratic Party would be making a serious play to take control of the city. I have a feeling they’ll break off from the coalition before the regular elections anyway to prep for the new ones. Of course, Eric Adams isn't smart enough to see that coming.

I’m worried the Democratic Party won't win power anywhere anymore, let alone in New York City.
And they aren't going to leave anything behind, because leaving would mean giving the people they managed to slot in more leverage. Stop talking nonsense 🤣
And what would the Democratic Party even gain from early elections? In the most optimistic scenario, maybe one or two extra council members? Great. And then what? 😁

Everything is still running smoothly on my end. 🙂

Okay... and? Do you actually have a specific grievance with that department head? Do you know anyone else who stepped up that you think is actually qualified?
Or is your only issue just whether someone is an old acquaintance of someone else?

Spot on description of how they operate... basically just trying to shape their image and fake it. Nothing special here...

driftingtinker said:So, out in my little corner of the sticks, they skipped the mixed trash pickup yesterday. It’s a total mess because the last time anyone bothered to empty our bins was way back during the last scheduled run on Thursday. Around 3 PM, some posts started popping up on the local community Facebook group saying they actually did go around and empty the big dumpsters near those apartment complexes where the trucks can easily get to 😉

Fast forward to about 10 PM—pitch black, nobody else out on the streets, just us. Everyone’s wandering around clutching a trash bag, hanging out, trading insults with the apartment dwellers whose dumpsters are basically getting bombarded right now. Dogs are running around playing... I guess all we're missing is a literal cauldron and a merry-go-round to make the whole scene complete 😬

You really ought to start writing some New York City vignettes... 😁

I feel like Eric Adams has locked away the keys to everything—the elixir of youth, plus about a thousand doctors he refuses to let actually work in the healthcare market here in the States...

It’s pretty clear how much the Mayor thinks about the state of our healthcare system 😁

Honestly, bring back Michael Bloomberg... Back in his day, nobody was looking toward retirement early!

Why say he "pulled through"? He’s still barking way above his weight class 😁

hollowmason64 said:It’s not marketing at all; it’s just a plain old fact. And honestly, the Republican Party basically branded themselves as corrupt. There isn't an agency in the world that could pull off that kind of branding—making the entire country believe they're just a massive nest of crooks and criminals.
And no, everything isn't allowed in politics. Nothing is ever truly "anything goes," and there have to be some boundaries somewhere.

And let's be clear, it's not like everyone in the other parties is a saint. You'll find shady characters everywhere. But in the other parties, you can actually find professionals who don't view politics as a personal piggy bank—a way to grab power just so they can steal, hire their buddies, or set up jobs for family and lovers.
In the Republican Party, it seems to be exclusively that kind of crowd. Throughout my life, I've run into quite a decent number of them, many in influential positions, so I know exactly how they operate.
And just so nobody thinks I'm being envious—every single one of them was willing to help if you were in a bind. I knew that if I had reached out to them during certain messy periods of my life, all the nonsense I was dealing with would have vanished. But on the flip side, asking for that help meant selling my soul to the devil.
It's pure mafia style— when the time comes, you're going to owe me...
And that's the Republican Party from the first member to the very last.

Not really. What's so strange about that?

They wouldn't listen to meeeee 🙂 and do what I tell themmmmmm 🙂, because I'm just the smartestttttttttt 🙂

How much? 🙂

The guy? You mean Eric Adams? Since when does the Mayor deal with the employment contracts of local family doctors?

Statistically, it's ten times less than Sam Wright21's!

darkhawk30 said:You remind me a bit of Amber Heard.
I just saw a photo of her and couldn't help but wonder: why can't this poor woman just shut up for a second? She’s already driving everyone crazy, and nobody can say for certain if she truly endured such trauma or if she’s just blowing minor inconveniences out of proportion.

At first, you were so blindly supportive—forgive my bluntness, that’s just how I saw it—of TikTok and their crew. Your sudden pivot is so radical it feels like one of them personally stepped on your toe.
Even if that actually happened, it’s unclear to me how you went from being an uncritical cheerleader to an uncritical opponent.
You seem offended and, frankly, a little obsessed.
Of course, I’m keeping in mind that you might know something about this topic that I and everyone else doesn't, so I'm taking everything with a grain of salt, but take a breather. It feels like you're constantly tailing them, hunting for mistakes, much like how you used to hunt for excuses in the beginning. Remember that whole debate about the notary?

Maybe my theory—that members of the old administration are constantly sabotaging him instead of helping—isn't based in reality, but we all have to wait and see how this story plays out by the end of his term.

I didn't mean to offend you, but seriously, take a break.

That's 100% true.

What else would they be doing?
They want back in power—or at least to grab as much control as possible—and they have plenty of people lined up to help them do just that.

And we all know how much ethics weigh on them. 😁

jadetinker85 said:The local government blocked a GP from extending her contract just because she hit retirement age. She’s gone, nobody was hired to replace her, and now 2,000 people are stuck searching for a doctor while every decent physician in the city is already overbooked.

What exactly does Eric Adams do all day? Manage bike lanes?

Working on an elixir of youth, I guess...

Out of 2,000 posts on this topic, 440 belong to Sam Wright21.

The first "supporter" of Eric Adams—or rather, the first female supporter—has ten times fewer posts than her. That’s a ratio of ten Sam Wright21's posts for every single Kiss me post. And we all know how much Kiss me barks... 😁

Just like I suspected would happen—we've got total conversational suffocation happening here, all in the name of spamming.

It’s pretty obvious. Having a group constantly obstructing the people running the city—it's just how things play out naturally.
I don't get why anyone finds that strange.

What else would a crew like that be doing, if not 🤔 😁

Honestly, I'd much rather have the person being obstructed in charge—than someone they could actually get along with, where everything just flows and they keep multiplying... Given my own money is on the line here
