Bloomberg was the inflection point on a giant sine wave
We started as a clean post-war booming city, hippies got bored and rebelled against their parents and the establishment and everybody got disillusioned because of Vietnam, so standards got lax and the criminals took over.
20 years later we just couldn't take it anymore and Rudy cleaned house and people's lives got much, MUCH better. Bloomberg continued the trend and was probably the very best manager of a large city the world has ever seen. He was so effective that people got bored and they were literally nostalgic for the "grit" and "authenticity" of old NYC. People were jaded, black people noticed everybody getting rich except them, the bored trust fund babies developed a white savior complex
In comes De Blasio and destroys everything. State Republicans are all voted out, next thing you know Cuomo says criminals can't be held for bail anymore and they empty out Rikers. Then people get wound up locked in their home afraid of a novel virus, George Floyd is stomped to death by a bad cop, and all hell breaks loose. Everybody turns on the police, NYPD suffers mass resignations and the cops left are the least competent and any of the good ones left just stop enforcing anything they don't have to. Why put their neck on the lines for people who hate them?
Well here we are again, at the bottom of the sine wave. Crime is out of control, people are not safe, things are falling apart and the crazies are telling your kids they can have sex change operations if puberty is too inconvenient.
What did people think was going to happen at this point? Of course, all the incompetent politicians are going to get voted out and replaced.
My support for Hochul comes mostly from my extreme disdain for her opponent Lee Zeldin.
I am completely pro-choice, allowing abortion until the time the fetus is viable on its own after birth.
I am repulsed by those whose values are dictated by their church dogma.
I am against ant pro-religious zealots and against those whose life has been spent largely in the military learning little more than FOLLOWING ORDERS, the be-all and end-all of military training.
I want a governor who can think for herself.
So, HOCHUL IN NOVEMBER. Her election is assured.
Hope you're still worried about your abortion after you get pushed onto a subway and ran over by a train
I lived through the hell of the time before zero tolerance. After almost being shot while walking home with my family on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn to having my father and older brother robbed at gunpoint near our house to witnessing other violent crime daily for years, I saw firsthand the impact that zero tolerance had. Simply put, the troublemakers were getting locked up and taken off the streets. It isn't hard to put two and two together on this one.
Hochul and the Dems' cashless bail law and other "reforms," alone (though there are more reasons to that) are enough to disqualify her for office in my view. Also, keep in mind, Pataki was getting called every name in the book as well by leftists. No matter who the GOP nominee is, the left will use the same tired attack lines against him or her.
Clearly, giving criminals second third and even twentieth chances is working great. Zero tolerance is stupid, criminals commit a lot more crime when they're locked up.
“ The victim was taking her young children — ages 6 months to 9 years — to school on the morning of Oct. 5, when he ambushed her on a road and gunned her down, authorities said.
Bennefield was free to carry out the alleged murder after being released from custody a day earlier on only misdemeanor charges despite the horrific attack on his wife inside her home.
Tragic Keaira Bennefield had shared the sick footage of Bennefield allegedly punching, kicking and slapping her on Facebook in a cry for help less than a week before she was murdered.”
“ Adding insult to injury, under the bail reforms enacted by the Democratic-controlled state Legislature and upheld by Hochul, the judge couldn’t even consider Bennefield’s 2000 conviction and 15-year prison sentence for kidnapping an ex-girlfriend and another woman at gunpoint because the Empire State is one of the few across the US that doesn’t allow judges to weigh the “dangerousness” of a perp in considering bail.
Even if Bennefield was charged with a bail eligible offense, the judge still couldn’t consider dangerousness under the current laws. Mayor Eric Adams is among those who have pushed Albany lawmakers to give judges the power to remand suspects deemed a threat to the community and not just whether they are likely to return to the next court date.”

Cycle continues
I second all of this, and couldn't agree more, and I couldn't have of said it better.
I agree with everything you have just stated in this post!!!!!
I actual have no problem with abortion being legal ona policy basis. But I'm glad Row was overturned, because there's no language in the constitution that could even be vaguely construed to confer a right to abortion.

And I agree. Abortion should be legal up to a certain time. I’m all for less population or the dumb population aborting.
But once you start pulling live body parts out that should be illegal. It’s just wrong and I don’t care how you word it.

Shows you how bad one side is at framing the argument. I don't think most people understand that Hochul and her crew want abortions right up to birth. Even partial birth. Sick, sick, sick.
Most of Europe is up to 15 weeks. And they have the gall to criticize us.
I saw Alison Esposito on TV with Zeldin and she seems like a very good choice for LT Gov. I’d bet on those two, before Id ever trust the Dems in there now.
