#mayor Eric Adams

[destielmemenews]

"Adams has consistently said he is cooperating with the investigations and has denied wrongdoing through the steady drumbeat of searches, seizures and departures of top members of his administration.

But as news of the indictment spread Wednesday night, he began to mount a defiant defense that he was being targeted by the federal government for his political views, adopting language similar to former President Donald Trump and other politicians accused of crimes."

"The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough president.

“For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the indictment reads."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams

[the-promised-wlan]

I made some 70s sci-fi dystopian novel cover art based on the news that mayor Eric Adams was assigning robots to police New York City. I used a Doctor Who style Dalek as inspiration because it looks like one & because they're evil.. just like mayor Adams I'm pretty sure.

Well, this is concerning. It's also a tad worrying that the governor has the power to unilaterally remove an elected official from office. This is serious, yes, but an indictment means nothing in regards to a person's legal status. Until and unless the judge brings down the gavel and says "guilty" Adams is not a criminal, and the state has no business treating him as anything other than innocent until that point. The people of NYC decided he should be their mayor, and regardless of how stupid any of us may think that decision to be it is theirs and nobody else's. Obviously there are now matters from which he must recuse himself, and his entire administration should probably just enter into the equivalent of maintenance mode to avoid anything that might seem like trying to use his office to retaliate, but to treat accusations as proof is just Brett Kavanaugh all over again. It's wrong no matter who the target is.

And unrelated, but saying your election win was "ordained by God" is cringe as all hell. You are not that important Mr. Adams-nobody is. Your victory was ordained by a majority of NYC voters-if God had any part in it, it's not going to be something you'd notice, because if you're seeing God making such obvious moves to give you power then you're either a prophet, an egotist, or mentally unstable.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicted on federal charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing federal criminal charges, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.Adams, 64, was elected to lead the most populous US city nearly three years ago on a promise to rein in crime.But he and a string of top officials in his orbit have faced growing scrutiny as part of multiple federal corruption probes.The indictment remains sealed but would make Adams, 64, the first mayor in city history to be charged while in office.

Adams released a video statement late on Wednesday where he vowed to fight the charges and remain in office, asking New York residents for both "prayers and patience"."I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit," he says in the video, adding "I am innocent" and he plans to request an "immediate trial so New Yorkers can hear the truth".He also took on the flurry of calls for him to resign."Now, if I am charged many may say I should resign because I cannot manage the city while fighting the case."I can also understand how everyday New Yorkers would be concerned that I cannot do my job while I face accusations, but I have been facing these lies for months. read more....

NYC Mayor Wants To Force People To Lower Their Mask (And Why This Is Not The Solution He Claims It Is)

Who hurt Mayor Adams and why does he go to such great lengths to cause so much harm to New York City? As an activist who loves their city, I prefer to shop at small local businesses versus the giant corporate chains, I realize how hard it is for a small business to make it (especially in these times) and how vital the movement to support them really is. That said, as a proud disabled woman who gets around via a motorized wheelchair, I sometimes have no choice but to shop at the larger chain stores due to accessibility issues. It only takes one step to prevent someone like me from having access to a store, but when I see that a small local business has put in the effort to get a ramp etc, it does not go unnoticed. But lately, Mayor Adams has added yet another obstacle for disabled people like me. I don't know what he hopes to accomplish by forcing store employees to harass customers like myself to lower our mask if we want to enter a store. While many people like to pretend that the pandemic is over (and I get it, we all want it to be, but fun fact: that's really not how this works), a lot of us do not have the luxury of such illusions. For people like us, wearing a mask is not optional. From the beginning of the pandemic, my safety as a disabled person has been at best an after thought. And now Mayor Adams wants to make it even harder by forcing people like me to lower our mask, which immediately puts me at risk for COVID. But he's not just harming people like myself. If I can't safely shop at the local stores, then I have no choice but to give my money to the larger online chains. As a result, smaller businesses will lose money, and is this really what Mayor Adams thinks the city needs right now? It also makes you wonder, where does the absurdity end? Many people for religious reasons cover their face (which is their prerogative.) Is the Mayor going to make store employees harass them as well? Will this policy be enforced consistently or will this turn into yet another form of profiling? Mayor Adams insists that this is being done in the name of public safety, but I think the majority of New Yorkers can see through that. After all, if the Mayor really wanted to reduce crime, then he wouldn't be so eager to massively cut funding to education and social services, while giving the NYPD an increased budget. More police has never been the answer, and if his goal was truly to reduce crime, then he would address the root issues as to why crime exists in the first place. Here's a hint: it has nothing to do with people wearing masks.
