Hacking and Blackmail are Israeli strengths. The two most common theories I hear are that that elected officials are impressed with the Israeli hacking capabilities and rather keep them on our side, or they are actively exploiting those capabilities to bend politicians to their will. Seeing how Israel operates in public with innocent civilians it seems rather obvious our predicament.
I said no such thing, what I was referring to is how others politicians get fines in these sorts of cases as opposed to federal felonies.
In the interest of open discussion I have gone over the indictment. My take aways are that the Mayor engaged in conduct not disimilar from similarly situated individuals, and that this disparate treatment of leveling criminal charges to me personally I believe earnestly are politically motivated. I know it is unpopular on lemmy, but this is my sentiment from South Brooklyn, NY (I feel many views are not from metro NY)
The real og
I want to see what is being alleged. If this turns out to be the equivalent of parking tickets taken to a federal level it should be easy to draw conclusions. The Mayor has so far disavowed any criminal conduct, and even the acab crowd grilling him can’t guesstimate what the charges are. Regardless lets not act like all these DoJ buzz didn’t start after Adams called out Biden, since then a multitud of invasive investigations and house raids searching for? Every other person irl has mentioned House of Cards, Lemmy downvotes me for reporting it.
Hey I am reserving judgement til paperwork comes out. That does not change the sentiment amongst city employees that this was a hit job, and even the final papers may not answer that. But it does remind me of the Stasi considering everything that has occurred.
We will see in the morning, but everyone in New York is already saying this was a Biden hit job. Its not even a whisper, every group chat is screaming that Joe Biden is doing this in retaliation for Eric Adams standing up against the Biden migrants, it is still very early but this only seems to hurt Harris support and fuel the Adams haters (which lets be honest they are never happy, ie Tiffany Caban says defund police while people get robbed at gunpoint eating in front of her office)

Tysm for the source, I do understand the budget argument as currently there are almost no itin loans being underwritten by banks. If the banks don’t think they can make money on it, greatly expanding the market (while noble) sounds like opening the floodgates of losses. It also could create a gold rush/competition if California is successful but that literally may take 15+ years to find out.
My question is about any type of non “conventional” couple being approved for adoption in China. As I understand it, their policy involved a strict “moral standing” to adopt, anything that deviated was instantly denied. So I am confused as to how any queer people would pass that test, let alone that its happened.
Do you have a source for China allowing anyone who isn’t cisgender to adopt? I have only ever heard that it is an instant denial.
When are we going to do AIPAC?
Bus and Train service into the city can easily pass $15 round trip even with monthly passes. It was so infuriating to have to listen to people who already pay $600+ for a garage already crying about having to pay $15. If you live in New York City you know the area they wanted to tax has almost no parking before 7 pm except for commercial vehicles, and it is $5+ an hour (based on area, and increasing in cost by how long you stay) to even do that. And to make it worse was how many of those upset would be people from Upstate and New Jersey who only come to NYC 2x a year if that.
You would think the fact that Hyrule is always different (sometimes even having a Lorule) and one of the most popular entries (remade three times) was a literal fever dream, that people would say realize the only actual Link is the character we played on the way.
The media keeps telling me everyone has excitement and vibes for Harris, but everyone in the street I talk to about her seems even more disgusted than when Biden was running. She’s done one interview where she was on her back foot but media is saying she was stunning and brave. Her whole support feels like the brain dead blue no matter who crowd and its turning into a giant turnoff for everyone who isn’t. I thought ditching Biden would stop it, but Dems seem to really want Trump to win all states as Harris is being compared to Hilary (Shoved down our throat politician whose qualifications seem to amount to being a Dem loyalist, not an actual winning candidate)
An intern got experience that made her more knowledgeable the rest of this is nonsense
