If he's qualified then bring it on. Either the penal system has both justice and rehabilitation goals or it doesn't. If he's paid his debt to society then let him address what he likely knows too well.

One appointment at a time. Are you willing to concede that the multiple paragraph hit piece was pretty unwarranted for one of 400 New Yorkers on committees? If you look at his reasoning for the appointment, it makes a lot of sense:

We put together a team of more than 400 New Yorkers who are on 17 different committees, and these are New Yorkers who bring with them both a fluency of the policies and politics of the city, the places that they've succeeded, the places that they've failed, and we will take all of their experiences and their analysis into account as we build a city for each and every person.

This country is being run into the ground by a pervy, geriatric ex-reality TV and various hateful and otherwise unqualified cabinet members. Conservatives need something to get worked up about and awfulize over.

Or maybe we look at the hypocrisy of lefties like yourself and love to pour out your bullshit when the coin is flipped on your side.

Pay no attention to the guy who pistol-whipped a Cab driver.. Amiright Frankie.

It's good to see teh social justice warriors are getting paid positions in NYC. All that social justice warrioring is paying off.

Haha.

Sticking it to the man by becoming the man.

The warmth of collectivism just killed a bunch of homeless people. Whoops.

Governing is hard.

Culling the herd of homelessness in NYC. Playbook right out of Communism or the feelings of socialism. Stalin would be proud.

Few people know how hard it is to run a complicated and complex corporate structure. It’s even harder as a politician. Mamdhani and his inexperienced crew are in for a rude awakening.

Which was to be expected for even the most seasoned executives. That's why all the angst for "communism" in New York City was overwrought. Mamdani is going to be in over his head just making sure the streets get cleared and the garbage gets picked up.

It reminds me of Obama. The GOP stirred up fears of socialism and social justice overreach. Obama probably would have done more socialist things if he could have, but when he got into office he quickly moderated because he had to to keep the government running. He was not very good as an administrator, which is likely due to his inexperience in administrating anything. Biden was the same. It’s partly the reason that governors tend to make better presidents because they know how to govern.

And now, we got Trump Part Deux which is a Corporate leader butchering and blowing things up as if it is a corporate business. Essentially, we have had 24 years of shit. going back to Obama and now..

Trumps biggest administering problem is that he’s not used to a division of powers. As a CEO of a private company with no real Board he can basically do whatever he wants. In government, he needs to compromise and work with others, which he obviously sucks at doing.

I think that's his second-biggest problem. The biggest is that he's legitimately dumb about almost everything.
