ProfD Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 https://apnews.com/article/new-york-city-attorney-adams-trump-6627665d0dd41e766d6e94598fba11ff Corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams have been dropped. Mayor Adams brought the wrath of POTUS PJB,'s administration with his response to immigrants showing up in NYC. That's when charges were filed. When POTUS OJ got elected, I figured charges against Mayor Adams would go away. I doubt that Mayor Adams will win re-election in NYC. He might flip from blue to red as well. While Mayor Adams is still in office, he will work with POTUS OJ's administration to round-up undesirable immigrants. After his mayoral term is done, I believe POTUS OJ will give Mayor Adams a posiion in DHS (Department of Homeland Security) or some other agency.
Pioneer1 Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 ProfD I'm glad you covered this topic because I was thinking about it when I logged on. I think Mayor Adams made an EXCELLENT gangsta move by aligning himself with Trump. The Democrat leadership didn't do shit for him....besides leave him out to dry. If Trump hadn't won and forced the Feds to back up off him...he might have been on his way to prison now. I believe in supporting those who support me. If I'm a Democrat official and my so-called "fellow" Democrats won't have my back and even seek to do me harm and the Republicans slide in, whisper some sweet words in my ears, and help me out of a bind YES I'm going to flip and hop in bed with them! To be clear, I still don't trust EITHER the Democrats or Republicans. But like I said, I believe in supporting those who support me.....whichever party they belong to. If being a flunky for Trump means Adam stays out of jail and even STAYS IN OFFICE (I think that chance is there), then be a flunky! Shit..... But look at how angry some of the Feds were when they were told to leave Adams alone! Several of the prosecutors resigned simply because they were told to drop the charges against Adams!. Think about that! They would rather lose their fucking jobs rather than leave a Black man alone! When strings are pulled to help a White politician and get him out of the hot seat...no problem. They do as they're told and drop the fucking charges and look for another target. But when strings are pulled to help out a Black man....all of a sudden they want to start crying about injustice and resign.
Troy Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 I just read the article. The charges have not been dropped, at least not yet. The DOJ made the request, but they have not been carried out yet.

Troy Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 @ProfD, acknowledged. I guess Eric's co-conspirators have been left holding the bag. Reading the reasons for Eric's indictments seems rather trivial compared to what Trump and Clarence Thomas, for example, are known to have done. How is what the Turkish government has done for Eric different from any K Street Lobbyist does for any member of Congress?

Mayor Adams was being punished by the Democrats for his stance on immigration. He was too vocal in his displeasure of NYC being a sanctuary city. On cue, Rikers Island has been made available to house deportees.
Pioneer1 Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 If Trump Musk were wise....Adams wouldn't be offered a position in Trump's Administration or anywhere else in D.C. for his loyalty. If they were wise, they'd keep his Black ass right there in the Big Apple running shit. He knows his way around town and can run their operation better than anybody from OUTSIDE of NYC can.

You're right. Having a Democratic operative running NYC could very well be in the Musky Trump plan.
Pioneer1 Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 If they Musk has enough pull to get the charges dropped against Adams.....he sure as hell can keep him in the Mayor's seat. That Hochul or whatever her name is who is Governor of New York better watch HER position, instead of fucking with Adams.
ProfD Posted February 17 Author Report Posted February 17 17 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: If they Musk has enough pull to get the charges dropped against Adams.....he sure as hell can keep him in the Mayor's seat. New York uses ranked-choice voting which means Mayor Adams has to compete with a field of candidates. It's not just blue vs red. Yet, anything is possible when it comes to spreading money around. They could pay potentially popular candidates not to run for office. That would leave only Mayor Adams as the post popular choice. However, there is talk that former NY governor Andrew Cuomo is thinking about running for mayor. If he does, it's game over for Mayor Adams.
Pioneer1 Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 ProfD However, there is talk that former NY governor Andrew Cuomo is thinking about running for mayor. If he does, it's game over for Mayor Adams. Because of how the Democrat leadership in New York went after Andrew and pushed him out of office (like they're trying to do Adams) but over sexual allegation, he may be just a Democrat in name only also. Now if Andrew is a normal "rank-n-file" Democrat who openly tows the party line....I don't think he could be an already in and still popular with the Black (and Latino?) Adams. That's one of the...ONE of the few....good things about being a Black Trump supporter. You get the benefits of Trump having your back AND there's enough Black folks willing to support you simply because yuze' a Black man...lol. Andrew wouldn't get the type of Black and Brown support Adams gets and if Trump backed him the large "liberal" population of New York wouldn't support him either.

We'll have to wait and see if Mayor Adams has any popularity left. Former governor Andrew Cuomo would go all in as a Democrat. NY seemed to rock with him. It was the allegations that forced him to resign.
Troy Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 It does not look like Eazy-E is out of the woods yet. New York’s governor is under pressure to give him the boot. And it’s still not clear that he won’t be brought up for charges apparently what he’s accused of is far more serious than just taken some fancy trips from the Turkish government 1
Pioneer1 Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 I hope he doesn't resign. I hope Trump....Musk...or whoever is running things overthere, lol....continues to back Adams all the way and keep him in the Mayor's seat! I'd love to see the look on the faces of his White enemies and adversaries when they see that he has an even more powerful White team backing him up who can protect him from the bullshit they're throwing at him. -One group of charges dropped -Another group of charges leveled at him...and THEY are dropped -His Mayoral seat is challenged, and he remains in office Man, I would LOVE to see the look on these White folks faces. I've had that happen so many times. On jobs and in organizations, I learned to find out who is the HEAD people in charge...not just the supervisors or the leadership you're working with...but who's RUNNING the operation/organization. When I find out and I smooch and smooze with them and make sure they know who I am and my character, I don't worry about conflict with the little lesser "bosses" because I have the top management on speed dial and call THEM up if I have issues with them.
Troy Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Al Sharpton, said Trump could just pardon him, but he won't because they need Eric as Mayor and their leash. He will not resign. The people resigning are not playing one guys said only a coward or a fool would actually drop the charges. Despite the headlines to the contrary the charges have not been officially dropped. Everyone asked to do it has resigned. What a soap opera!
ProfD Posted February 20 Author Report Posted February 20 1 hour ago, Troy said: Despite the headlines to the contrary the charges have not been officially dropped. Correct. The judge hasn't ruled to dismiss charges yet. Also, the charges could be revived at some point in the future. I think the judge is going to sign the order to drop charges. He's already hinted that he has very little room not to sign it. I don't believe DOJ under GOP will bring the charges against Mayor Adams back either. I also think for good measure, before POTUS OJ leaves the White House, he will pardon Mayor Adams from any future prosecution.

The people resigning are not playing one guys said only a coward or a fool would actually drop the charge. I think it's foolish for them to resign and lose their jobs simply for not doing what they were told to, even though it doesn't help or hurt them personally one way or the other. Damn..... They really want to go after a Black man don't they! This isn't about "justice" in my opinion because they could have "resigned" over more pressing matters. Some of these people REALLY want to see this Black man prosecuted, which is even more angering. I hope the charges are dropped (as Dr. Umar Johnson would say) FOR GOOOOOD......lol. And I hope he stays in office. Not for Trump's sake, but just to see a Black man survive and thrive in the face of his opposition.

This isn't the same as quitting the job at a fast food joint in protest of being told to mop the floor and take the trash outside. These people work in a career field where 2 or more jobs are waiting on them. A federal judge or prosecutor can become general counsel to a corporation. Same or higher salary. Zero political pressure. Weep not for them as they will be fine.

I do know in a lot of companies high salaried people bounced around from one position to another and then often found nice cushy jobs in other firms as easily is going out and buying a new television.

Troy Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Indeed, the fact that they resigned under these conditions will actually make them more marketable for having such a high-level of integrity. I don’t buy into the whole idea that this is just about Eric‘s race. If he had not misbehaved, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
ProfD Posted February 22 Author Report Posted February 22 2 hours ago, Troy said: I don’t buy into the whole idea that this is just about Eric‘s race. I don't believe charges were brought against Mayor Adams because he's a Black man. The charges were a political hit because Mayor Adams didn't tow the Democratic party line on immigration. If Mayor Adams hadn't spoken out against NYC being a sanctuary city and just cooperated with the program, accepting those campaign contributions as they all do, would have been a non-issue. The current administration is leveraging Mayor Adams' stance on immigration to their own agenda. They'll use him as a tool. The question remains what becomes of Mayor Adams when he's no longer of use to them. Whites supremacists usually break their tools once finished with them.
Pioneer1 Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Troy I don’t buy into the whole idea that this is just about Eric‘s race. If he had not misbehaved, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. What did he do that was so wrong, that other mayors BEFORE him didn't do? Did he hurt somebody? Did he do physical harm to somebody or threaten them? What did the man do that makes him SOOOOOO dangerous that they just can't stand to see him being in office and just GOTTA make a point of prosecuting him??? It seems to me like they're engaging in SELECTIVE morality or SELECTIVE enforcement of the law or rules of conduct. You see this over and over again when it comes to the treatment of many Black men, whether you're talking about in the work place or when it comes to the law. They'll let White men get away with some things over and over again and even endear it and make it seem "cute" by saying things like: "Well...that's politics". or "You know, boys will be boys" But as soon as some Black man does it, ALL OF A SUDDEN they start growing halos over their heads and want "justice" to prevail. ProfD The charges were a political hit because Mayor Adams didn't tow the Democratic party line on immigration. Bingo However I think the fact that so many officials who decided to resign RATHER than drop the charges against him did so for racist or racial reasons. The Mayor didn't commit a violent crime or any other violent or sexual act, right? So why were these officials so adamant about prosecuting him? I keep asking.....what did he do that was soooooo wrong that he just MUST be prosecuted and tried and removed? What did the man DO???? Are you telling me that this is the FIRST TIME these people have been asked to drop charges against somebody? Or were they asked to do it for WHITE politicians or people in general and they gladly did it no questions ask, but they want to draw the line with the brutha in office? Come on man... Seriously? What did that man DO that you'd rather lose your job than just leave him alone???? What ever happened to, "Hey....just doing my job" ??? In this case they'd rather QUIT their damn job than do it, huh.
ProfD Posted February 23 Author Report Posted February 23 3 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: I keep asking.....what did he do that was soooooo wrong that he just MUST be prosecuted and tried and removed? What did the man DO???? Mayor Adams p8ssed off the Biden administration. The DOJ brought charges against him. The folks who resigned were p8ssed off that charges were being dropped. Most of them were probably appointed by the Biden administration.
Pioneer1 Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 ProfD I know. I'm being a bit dramatic when I keep asking what did he do because the shit they're ACCUSING him of....like spending excessive money on trips and charging it to the city...are bullshit accusations that nearly every mayor or governor could be accused of if you chose to go after them. However, more so than the charges being leveled against him, it's how vehement so many people are to see this man's charges stick. Your superiors tell you to drop the charges and you want to see this man locked up or atleast found guilty and removed from office SO bad that you'd rather QUIT your job in protest?

I don't believe the prosecutors want to see Mayor Adams locked up in so much as their *work* is being dismissed. Rest assured that this is performative. As I mentioned, those folks can go across the street and land another job.
Pioneer1 Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 I'm wondering where does the state Attorney General Miss Leticia James fit into all of this? If the state government supersedes the city government, it seems that SHE could step in and straighten this shit out....IF she were on Adams' side.
ProfD Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 Mayor Adams case is federal. Above the jurisprudence of the state. NY AG can't do anything.
