That's funny. Every vote for Adams will be a mistake, as was always the case.
I imagine that he's currently having a cry about what stephen miller's wife's bagman has told him the regime wants him to do next.
What a poopy doodoohead
So Trump's giving him a job?
Presumably chief corruption officer
Ambassador.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.

...now it is David vs Goliath...I hope Zohran wipes the floor with Cuomo...
He's done it once before.
Good fucking riddance
On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.
His name will still be on the ballot, so he'll probably leach some of the idiot vote, still.
Don't fret, there's still venn diagram overlap with idiot AND asshole.
This is the only reason I'm a bit upset he dropped out.
Oh oh. It's happening. They're consolidating. Expect a huge October surprise. And if nothing else works, Kirking the leading candidate.
Geez, and here I thought I was being pessimistic. Thanks for the new verb, tho!
You either laugh, or you cry. And I'm getting real tired of crying for two years, the constant panic attacks, and heart attacks at night.
Doing Security Work my coworker asked if I Charlie Kirked the homeless man I removed from property. This was like a day after it happened, fucking hilarious
Hahaha, get fucked you corrupt trash can of a person
The only problem I have with this is that he was providing some (admittedly minimal) dilution to the Cuomo opposition. Now Cuomo can market his gain as "increasing support" for his policies.
In the end I don't think it will matter, but we still are yet to hit the usual "October surprise" period so I don't like to get cocky.
"the price is finally right", said Adams, probably.
Last gasp push to consolidate the Cuomo vote?
I hope Mamdani enjoys his new job.
I feel he would need 24/7 security though.
It's too late for Adams to be removed from the ballot lol
Good, fuck that Republican.
The check cleared.
Rip bozo
He should go to prison where he belongs anyway.
Yessss
Press full flush, shit be gone
Flush twice, that was a big nasty one that fouled the bowl.
Now, watch him endorse Sliwa instead of Mamdami. What a scumbag.
Mamdani and Sliwa are the only two adults in the race.
I suppose Sliwa is “technically” an adult, but so am I. That doesn’t qualify me to be mayor of New York City.
And I’m sure you would too. But that doesn’t make either of us qualified to be New York City mayor, either.
In fact, I know well enough that I would never ever want that job. It obviously is a fucking nightmare.
So Trump is giving him Ambassador to Turkey I hear.
Or Saudi Arabia
NatGuard in NYC in 3..2..
They'd have to consolidate all other votes behind Cuomo to even have a chance, looking at the latest polling.
LoL, that's assuming the people who were going to vote for Adams are going to vote for Cuomo and not Sliwa. Adam's was saved from prosecution by Trump and had his endorsement. No liberal worth anything would have been planning yo vote for him.
I'm not saying it's likely by any means - quite the opposite. Managing to gather the voters of all those other candidates under one banner is probably not going to happen
Yeah it's about time this ratfuck scumbag fuck off back to the cesspit he crawled out of.
How did he drop "out"? Did he have some in his pocket, went the get his keys, and the whole shebang just fell at once? That's rough, man
He finally tuned in and turned on.
