Eric Adams - Mayor of San Francisco

vividraven79 said:Is he actually going to show up? In the Oval Office? I find that hard to believe.

Honestly, I’ll start getting worried if I visit there and he isn't around.

Then he better buy the round, since he's not exactly known for being cheap.

They signed these toxic contracts at the expense of the City.

By dragging their feet on this, the City is already bleeding cash, and just delaying the inevitable is only going to cost us way more in the long run...

She just loves to stir up trouble for the sake of it. 😁
Sometimes her arguments remind me of the more reasonable side of Franić's circle. You wouldn't think a Prkić supporter and the Franić dynasty would have so much in common...

But why get hung up on Facebook? Where should Đerek go to voice her part—in the Free Press alongside Plenković's piece of work, Lemo? Forget about Facebook; she needs to worry about how Đerek tears through those trashy concepts. She doesn't even need the Free Press. 😉
Imagine if Prkić were the mayor or held any real power. Would that Hanza-man actually shut down the Free Press racket and bring in people like Đerek to dismantle that whole mess?
Whatever...

When Megatrol gets its hooks into you, you're done—just look at Andrea Plenković Lemo, the boss over at the Sold-Out News. 🤣
Selling over a thousand likes. Lemo is becoming "it."

And to my enemy: I’ve been waiting for you like a freezing sun just so we could have a little showdown. 🙂 Mili, let's take it step by step: 1. Why don't you provide an actual argument showing where I was talking crap or lying today in my critique of Maya and Puljko & Camaril? Please, please, do that and enlighten us. 🙂 2. I am way more attractive than Franić's wife. 🙂 Plus, I've talked so much crap about that guy here (with arguments, mind you) that it would be weird if I actually knew him personally or if I actually supported Miss Franic. What do you think, Mili? 3. I lost respect for Lemo because of that headline about the prostitute, and honestly, that’s a nearly unforgivable fail for her. However, our little Pcelica keeps calling out journalists who, when they write things she doesn't like, then run off to cry on Facebook. It doesn't matter what individual journalists wrote or called out regarding previous administrations. We're the honest ones, right, even when we're being shady?! And no, this constant, semi-literate, hysterical whining on Facebook about being a victim of San Francisco journalists (they recently targeted Zivan from the Dalmatian Portal too) is ridiculous and unprofessional. Actually, it's just pathetic. 4. Let's get to what you're waiting for. First, I wouldn't bet my life that Prkić would be a good Mayor. I wouldn't bet on anyone. But what I do know is that the guy works with various enlightened and wise people; he isn't afraid to collaborate, he doesn't play PR games, and he doesn't try to manufacture his image for the US Congress or Brussels, and I respect that. Got it? Is that hard? Can you follow? And finally, let me burst your bubble—counting some random Facebook likes and obsessively analyzing comments that are mostly just mindless bots is something for people who belong in white lab coats. And yeah, Megatroll isn't some spunky crew asking "Where's the money and Caca?"—because as far as I know, they didn't sell out for ad revenue. Megatroll definitely did, my dear. It's a transparent mega-manipulation. If life were a Megatroll meme, we'd all be living in Hawaii. 🤣

EDIT: Good grief, I'm not done!! First off, I wasn't obsessing over FB; I'm just following the trail wherever it leads. Second, I already asked you once—do you really think Hanza would collapse without those city funds amounting to millions? Go ahead, Google which department of Hanza those funds were intended for, and you'll see—quote—that companies like Radio California and Free Hanza organize certain events and the money is for that. Let's go further: go check the City websites to see how much your beloved Mayor increased subsidies for marketing and nonsense. You want to? Go ahead, please, come tell us. It shows you exactly where that nice money is going. Maybe then you'll realize that this pathetic extortion racket is such a stupid manipulation that it's practically a comedy. And frankly, it's entertaining!

To my favorite adversary: I was waiting for you to freeze over just so we could have a little debate. 🙂 Mili, let’s take this step by step: 1. Could you please provide some actual arguments showing where I was being dishonest or irrational in my critique of the local administration today? Please, enlighten us. 🙂 2. I’m definitely not part of that inner circle. 🙂 Plus, I’ve criticized that guy so much (with logic, mind you) that it would be pretty weird if I actually knew him personally or were out here supporting his wife. What do you think, Mili? 3. I think the editorial choice regarding that headline about the prostitute was a massive blunder on their part—almost unforgivable. However, our little "local hero" loves to play the victim, attacking journalists who write things she doesn't like, claiming they're just chasing Facebook clout. It doesn't matter what individual reporters wrote about her or previous administrations. We’re supposed to be the honest ones, right? Even when we're being biased? This constant, half-educated, hysterical whining on social media about being a victim of the San Francisco press (they recently targeted Zivan at CNN too) is ridiculous, unprofessional, and honestly, just sad. 4. Now, for the point you're waiting for. First off, I wouldn't bet a dime on whether the current mayor would be a good leader. I wouldn't bet on anyone. But what I do know is that he collaborates with various wise and thoughtful people. He isn't afraid to work with others, he doesn't obsess over PR, and he doesn't try to manipulate his way through the US Congress or Brussels, which I respect. Get it? Is that hard to follow? Finally, let me burst your bubble: obsessing over Facebook likes and analyzing comments from what are mostly just bot accounts is the kind of behavior that makes professionals walk away. And yeah, those big corporate trolls aren't just looking for "where did the money go?"—they aren't selling out for ad revenue. But the other guys? They are pure manipulation. If life were a meme about corporate greed, we’d all be living in Hawaii. 🤣

This is a bit too complex for my simple mind. But this one caught my eye—it's not exactly setting a high bar for intelligence. 😁

If you aren't watching the big corporate giants, you don't stand a chance in my book.

Here is another one that's just beneath the belt. Tell me, does it make you smile?

Well, I used the comparative "prettier." I'm humble, smart, and I know what I am, so I'll leave it to the viewers to decide if I deserve a superlative or if I'm staying in the comparative lane.
🙂 Microsoft was my go-to when they first launched, but their stuff is boring now—always the same old formula, and honestly, they feel more like an ad agency. I'm not buying it. I'm not even sure they're from San Francisco because they clearly don't get our sharper sense of humor; they're too busy catering to those superficial types. Oh, and by the way, since I lived abroad for over 10 years, do you even know what the Smithsonian Institution actually does today? Like, what is their actual purpose? Try to say something coherent, please.

I can't quite wrap my head around that dry, gritty San Francisco humor of yours; it definitely defines your personality. I guess I've been out in Washington, D.C. for too long.

You're a bit too deep for me... I'm just a kid at heart.

kid... saying someone is "too deep" sounds a little off 🙂 fine then, I'll just sit tight and wait for the next glowing tribute from Derek. 🎉

What part did I get wrong? Is your tough San Diego sense of humor failing you? Please, explain why it’s not "too deep" for you.

Maybe this General Electric story will cheer you up. It's a bit more straightforward and shallow...

I'm not about to go throwing pearls before swine😁 and then have Chuck show up acting like some "homme de ménage" to wipe out all these useless exchanges. Might as well make the most of it while I can (and no, I'm not selling oil here). Isn't it just fascinating how our very own Lana Parker suddenly became the PR guru for this new... what do you call it... State Fair thing? This whole deal with Nostromo. And get this: besides being the Vice President of the Center party, she coolly claims she's been doing PR for eleven years already. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind, so help me out here—after she finished her PhD, produced and hosted those shows that nobody actually watched, wrote books, and claimed she was "volunteering" and whatnot—when exactly, and in what capacity, has she actually been practicing this PR? Seriously. I'm clearly not smart enough to wrap my head around it. Thanks for nothing.
Edit: Honestly, I'm just shocked that the IRS is staying somewhere illegally :O

Look, Ali Gomora, even the most epic, slimy tactics from other political parties don't seem to phase you, yet every single tiny detail regarding Jerry Brown and his crew gets under your skin. Gomorrah, don't you see how shallow and, frankly, hypocritical that perspective is?

I honestly thought you were deeper than this and had a sharper sense of humor.

EDIT: Just realized it was ZachAnderson20. My sincerest apologies.

Of course they don't surprise me; I expect nothing less from them. Halfway across the country, including some departments in the Midwest, I’m basically persona non grata because I went on Facebook and called them out by their full names, asking if it was really worth selling out your soul for a job, and later, selling out the public good just to help out your buddies. Like, can they even look at themselves in the mirror? I already knew Jerry Brown was a fake, but man, they got absolutely wrecked. And yeah, I'm a little disappointed too.

Here’s another example: you criticize Derek because he tells the truth on Facebook, yet you share your own truths on Facebook too, which somehow made you persona non grata in the Midwest. You see the similarities, yet you’re the one judging her. It doesn't look good; someone might think you're shallow or a hypocrite who just talks to talk. But I know you aren't that. You have depth—just not an overwhelming amount, if I'm reading you right.

See how we naturally circled back to my original point in this whole San Diego saga...

Thanks a lot, Milena B. But in typical PR-spin fashion, you tried to sneak some subtle determinants into your quasi-linear logic. Let me break it down: I’m a private citizen. When I felt like rambling on Facebook—and only when I felt like it—I did so as a resident of this city. I’ve never held a public office, so I don't represent anyone. On the flip side, I wasn't writing a literary thesis on my personal feelings about fake competitions; I was pointing out things that were already public knowledge and asking people if it was even worth it. Now, Derek is a public official. As such, she’s supposed to act professionally, and communicating with the press is literally part of her job. For any civilized person, that happens through the official channels in the Midwest, via the media. Sure, Derek has every right to post on Facebook, but when those posts become a tool to settle scores with journalists—and again, describing her work publicly is part of her role—then it becomes a bad caricature, Milena. Also, instead of bothering to provide a little explanation about those "partially halted competitions" or maybe commenting on the situation with Peskorija, Derek decided to mock reporters on Facebook just to make that the headline and shift focus away from our talented Lana Parker and this whole mess with the MO at Peskorija. Can you see the difference? And one more thing: go ahead and re-read that nonsense they love to play with—she pushes her version of the story, and the journalists push theirs. Honestly, I couldn't care less about their little battles over what the "truth" is or who put a comma in the wrong place. Just give us what belongs to us, Maya—you have plenty of bright, beautiful moments, so stop playing games here with me and my Malac.

Zachary Anderson20 said:Hell yeah! But honestly, let's see how those lawsuits actually play out. From what I've seen, some of them don't even look baseless at all. As far as I know, the City hasn't had this many lawsuits in ages; if they win 90% of them, frankly, I'll be happy for all of us and for Maji. On the flip side, it would be nice if her rules applied to everyone equally—but hey, why bother? Nobody mentions that on Facebook, and nobody has the time anyway since everyone is just hyped up for fights and vendettas. And yeah, Long mentioned it on the previous page, and Bojan went after Maja just for sending a congratulatory note to his buddy. Oh, and I should probably mention that Bojan's little girl travels quite nicely, apparently justified under "Staff training services abroad" for a cool €3,500. 😍 Look, I like Leona, even if I'll find it hard to forgive those acres she took, but this senseless drama is just too much. It’s coming from both the Mayor and his "favorite" officials alike. 🎉

And does anyone know how that whole thing with the buddy ended? Did he get served? Was Puljko sued? Did Bob get reprimanded? 🍿

Where did you find that info about Leona's training? I searched the city websites and found nothing. That doesn't necessarily mean it was done without reason.

If she learned how to manage hectares while they were at it, then... 🤣

Gomorrah, you're overthinking this again...

So, it doesn't bother you one bit when the notorious Lapača Lemo is constantly peddling fake news about Derek, while this woman is just honestly doing her job and getting praised by everyone—except the bottom feeders. It doesn't bother you that Lapača Lemo is a known Republican and seems to be a regular client of certain journalistic circles because she's always involved in unethical media stunts? I haven't seen Derek report anyone except for Lapača Lemo and those few cronies over at the local paper that the whole country laughs at. This is starting to sound a lot like Franić's posts, and you're only slightly more refined than her.

Everything is fine with you, as long as it's not a new, relatively trivial case compared to the lion's share of work Derek does—work that nobody in San Diego or New York City has ever done quite like this.🤔 You seem to take issue with almost everything that's actually correct, yet nothing bothers you about the crooks who robbed the city blind.

The Germans have a great word for maliciousness, but you're far too deep into this for that...

...come on, look at the pattern here. This woman just goes after reporters on Facebook. Seriously? Use Facebook for that now?!

Just my two cents: if the media actually treated her fairly, she wouldn't feel the need to post those rants on Facebook in the first place.

What "drama"? We aren't even talking about drama here—we're talking about the random people Pcelica stepped on (look, I'll admit I'm being bipolar and cheering when she gets aggressive), but damn it, some of these people actually have enough ground to take this to court. I'm not going to list specific cases right now; if this all goes public, I'll comment then. And what about Leona? She’s in Greece right now, and before that, she was somewhere else too. Or is the destination the other way around? Hold on, let me post a photo. Here: https://postimg.cc/MM6VVBKC Now you try explaining to me what exactly is "transparent" about any of this compared to the mess with Kerum/Democratic Party/Republican Party? It’s all poorly written, and nobody explains what kind of hellish "technical documentation development" they’re even doing! What is that? For what? And as for the staff's education, it's barely worth mentioning because the whole thing looks disgusting. Secondly, what is she actually learning, and how is that supposed to benefit us? Obviously, we have a right to know, and a truly transparent and symmetrical renaissance would provide those answers. But no, everything is just half-assed.

Milena B., is that you? Is that permit ever going to...

Look, let me tell you what Angela from the Market told me. Get this. Derek went to grab his cut from little Mike's deal out in Sombor. Mike lost his cool because Derek was expecting a 20% commission, but Mike had already taken some foreign currency and only offered 10%. Derek started crying and ran to see Jerry Brown, complaining that Mike was trying to screw her over with bad currency and a lower rate, so Jerry wouldn't authorize the payment. Jerry blew a fuse and called Bob. Derek was weeping like it was a rainy season, and Bob was sweating bullets because he didn't have the funds ready for Jerry. Right then, Bob's brother shows up from Sombor with the full 20% commission in crisp, fresh bills. Exactly how Jerry likes it. They all headed out to a local pub for some live music and drinks to celebrate a great start to the year. Later, Bob's old man showed up with a shovel and, in the spirit of "good business," fired off a few shots. Now the old man has enough to pay off his city apartment via a loan, so everyone's happy.

There, it's all ready for print. Just tell them it's from a reliable anonymous source. 🍿

Oh Mike, I love it when you get romantic. Especially when you try to analyze me—my god, I don't even know where you pull these conclusions from. It feels like you're just putting words in my mouth. And seriously, chill out with calling women names all the time. Once is fine, but after that, it's just tacky. Jerry Brown isn't going to like that. First off, regarding this recent thing, Pcelica mainly clashed with a reporter, which then forced editor Lemo's hand (though isn't she a Republican too?) apparently because the woman had a death in the family. And then they just kept bickering. Okay, now tell me exactly where journalists are pumping out fake news about Derek. From what I know about journalism, when a reporter puts their actual name on a piece, they are obligated to present facts and label them correctly; their personal take on a situation is precisely that—an opinion. So, I'm curious: what exactly was "fake," and if it actually was, why wasn't there a public apology? Just because some reporters don't like Derek doesn't mean they can't have an opinion. They signed their names, and we can choose to believe them or not. As for the whining that it only seems to bother me when the current administration is involved—no shit, Sherlock?! 🤣 Who else am I supposed to comment on if not the ones holding almost absolute power? Even if others come in, God willing, they'll be under the microscope too.

I disagree. Almost all media outlets have that "groupie" phase. For instance, on Index or Telegram, you won't find a single critique of Jerry Brown, even if he (presumably) decides to perform a ritual in the middle of the Waterfront. During the recent madness, I checked out those outlets like Daily or 7something—those are just the jokes run by Bujanac—and those local media types operate differently. They have that right. But I haven't seen anyone smear Pcelica in the actual news stories (not counting Tom's or Pervan's columns) with Maya. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Pcelica? Is that some kind of San Diego dry humor?

Let Maya lie through her teeth if she wants. In a civilized country, you wouldn't have the Secretary and the President defaming someone like this. It was pretty blatant how they publicly accused her of being a self-promoter instead of a whistleblower. Pathetic and transparent.
And look at you, doing the exact same thing right now 😉
