LOL...that is not a good start.

"Bill de Blasio wants you to know he shovels his own snow-encrusted sidewalk, arranging feel-good photo-ops to show off his civic pride. The New York mayor feels a bit differently, however, about wooing the powerful pro-Israeli lobbying group AIPAC, whose members he spoke to in a Manhattan hotel on Thursday night, for a speech omitted from his public itinerary."

Politicians will always work for the rich and powerful. You are a fool if you believe otherwise.

Politicians who try to go against the status quo are killed or framed (sex scandal, money, etc).

The reporter doesn't exactly have a great track record:

They got the NYC mayor (or any other U.S. politician) in their pocket.

Wow shocking news!

But why he is being so secretive about it? Secrets always come to light at some point!

"Progressives" hate Israel. Not that Israel is perfect, but I'll take it over any Arab country.

But when you are the progressive mayor of New York City, you have to like Israel because of the large Jewish constituency.

de Blasio is no dummy.
