Being a Mayor is a relatively straightforward job. You have four (4) jobs to do, in fact, in no particular order. Even the most calcified, dyed-in-wool liberal commie on this board will agree with 3 of these:
1. Fix potholes
2. Lock up criminals (<--- this is the one the left hates, but that's beside the point)
3.
Pick up the trash4.
Plow the snow.
Up here in Seattle, we had a reliable leftist goober Mayor who was undone because he was utterly incompetent at #4. Guess who else is falling down on the job for both #3 and #4?
Good 'ol Zohran!
From actor Michael Rapaport:
https://x.com/MichaelRapaport/status/2017994791372...A week after the snowstorm and this is what we got Zoron the Shoveler!
Filthy black snow, garbage soup, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils.
People slipping, breaking ankles, nobody shoveling, nobody salting, nobody doing SH*T.
This is New York City.
Three minutes from the mayor’s house.
Start spreading the news… this place is a dirty snow covered dump.See jobs Number 3 and Number 4 above.
Well-known actress and conservative firebrand Debra Messing (lol, she's quite the opposite) weighs in:
https://x.com/_debramessing/status/201760911117356...Sitting in a taxi trying to get to an appointment. Should take 20 minutes, we are at an hour and ten minutes and counting. The streets are a disaster. It hasn’t snowed in 5 days and the streets still haven’t been cleared. Poor ambulance sitting in aessentially a parking lot with sirens going. I’m praying for the person needing emergency care.
I’ve lived here for 15 years (this go around) and this has never happened. The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working.
I wonder what happened? 😏
Indeed.
Mass dummyism is what happened. When you elect useless nepo baby Communists to jobs miles above their IQ grade, this is what you get.
Here in Seattle, our Useless Nepo Baby Communist is clearing out homeless camps...near the apartment that her parents pay for. In the rest of the city? Not so much.
Elect liberals. Watch your cities fail.

And of course it's just not the snow: the trash isn't being picked up either.
https://nypost.com/2026/02/01/us-news/mayor-mamdan...Mayor Mamdani’s Gracie Mansion noticeably trash-free as UES neighbors drown in 8-foot piles of garbageSide note: the Upper East Side likely went for Zohran by 40 points, so there's some rough justice here.
Mayor Mamdani’s New York has become the city that never sweeps.
Eight-foot-high piles of rat-infested trash are choking the streets around Gracie Mansion — while Hizzoner’s new home has gotten the white-glove shoveling treatment.
Mamdani has meanwhile crowed that he can’t “imagine how it could get better’’ in the city, even as more and more New Yorkers are blasting the lack of “collectivism” in the Big Apple.
The mayor’s Upper East Side neighbors are being forced to trudge through garbage-plagued streets, roaming rodents and mounds of snow tainted with dog pee a full week after Winter Storm Fern.
Blocks away, the sidewalks outside the lefty mayor’s digs on East 88th Street are squeaky clean.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw yesterday — a whole army of sanitation workers plowing and shoveling every bit of snow off of that side of the street,” local Nick Rivers griped to The Post on Sunday as he walked his black Lab along a littered sidewalk near the mayor’s residence.

Here in Michigan, all four, particularly #1, are underfunded, so more money can be given to the "JCs".

Huh. I don't know a single lefty who doesn't want to lock up criminals. Ya' know, like that guy who stole top secret documents and attempted a coup.
We're not as keen on locking up adults who were brought to the United States as babies or toddlers and have lived and worked here without commiting a single crime beyond a parking or traffic violation, though.

I don't know who you're responding to, but Gaslighting is one of the Four Horsemen of the progressive Apacolypse. Its' almost like Defund the Police was never a thing with them.

Dope1,
I have (and many others as well) always said that in addition to being an anti-Semitic Commie, Mamdani is completely unqualified to run even a lemonade stand, much less NYC.
I guess New Yorkers got a lot of free snow this winter.
Maybe Mamdani should have promised New Yorkers (instead of free bus fare) free dog-pee yellow snow cones.

Now THERE is a joke.
ICE is NOT "locking up criminal illegal aliens".
I don't say so. ICE admits it.
YOU are MORE criminal than they are.

And, just as Lansing phases out the pension tax, Duggan splits the Dem vote, putting another "JC" in office. In a hot second the pension tax will be back, so more can be given to the "JCs".
Bet that 24% tax on weed comes up short, so they'll need to cook up another tax on Proles, so more can be given to the "JCs".

Yep, thank goodness we locked up that 5 year kid with the blue floppy-eared bunny hat. Obviously, he is a clear and present danger to our nation.
This administration is full of shit.
That means anyone that believes them is also full of shit.
By the way, being an undocumented immigrant is generally a civil infraction, NOT a criminal violation.
Except for 5 year old kids in a blue floppy-eared bunny hat. That’s firing squad material all the way.

The little boy’s father ran off abandoning his son when ICE agents showed up.
Of course the Agents took care of him till they were able to locate family.

You mean according to your link to Vance who posted on Facebook that Trump was a "cynical asshole like Nixon" or "America's Hitler". Sorry to use bad words, but I’m just quoting the liar you adore?
Or according to ICE who claims an agent was run over while every video of the incident shows the agent murdering Renee Good by firing a bullet through a side window as she drove by the agent?
Or according to Homeland Security who claimed Alex Pretti was a "would-be assassin" who approached officers with a weapon when all the videos show that all he held in his hand was a phone and was murdered after the gun he had in his pocket was removed from the scene and was no danger to anyone?
Or according to a certain news station that paid over $750 million because they lied?
Of course, every other eye witness said that the father and son were arrested together as the father was picking him up after school.
Among other things, you’re a damn liar.
Well, I’d rather be a damn liar then to be a damn fool like you.

Lurker Mom,
The MSM and the Left always play to the emotions of their stupid followers. Whether the underlying narrative is true or not doesn't even matter.
People like the board's leftists are basically autistically self-stimulating themselves emotionally with this stuff.
