totally has nothing to do with NYS considering laying charges and imprisoning him for crimes committed there. Nope. Nothing at all. whistles

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

He couldn't even make it through the first sentence without a lie:

... I've called home my entire life

But...

Around 2008, George moved to Niterói in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area, where his mother, Fátima, was then living, and lived there until 2011,[12][24] although acquaintances of Santos from that period are unsure whether he lived in Brazil or merely visited. Many knew him as Anthony Devolder.

Mamdani makes me want to move to NY just to vote him in.

I hope NJ gets such an incredible candidate as well. And he inspires me to try to become that candidate.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

He also has a very appealing campaign and social media presence. Very viral stuff. Whoever is working on it is pretty amazing.

And just seeing all the right wing people scramble to prevent this supposed Antichrist from rising their taxes is hilarious.

[–] JustTheWind@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Oh no. Which one of his six mansions in the US alone will he need to move his family to. Weather's getting colder soon; so maybe he can over-winter at one of their private islands instead. Heard they have great child-care in those places.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 61 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So let's see

  • more affordable housing
  • better transit
  • better wages
  • childcare
  • violence prevention

God what a menace. Why would any of that be dangero.... ah " raising taxes on big corporations and the ultra-wealthy." I see.

~I gathered this from a summary, I'm not in NYC so I'm not keeping up with it~

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago

No, sounds like you've got it right.

[–] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I don't disagree, but also... So much of what he says is just such absolute bullshit that I feel like it's kind of a waste of time to even try and verify. But truth is important. But it's also a funny (ish) meme. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

You don't disagree about what part.

Damn, you ever have that experience where another word temporarily takes over the real word's place? I could not remember the correct word after reading that sentence. The fucking turd is attacking my brain!

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Okay, I am calling bullshit on this one. (Also, of course his children are already grown up.)

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago

but he remarried ...Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket...

He also lived and stole in Brazil.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yikes apparently fake indeed (needs a myusername label)

He said the first part in all caps, 7:27 PM · Oct 19, 2016

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't understand. Can one just request to move prisons?

He was pardoned

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 28 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

If people don't know Gianmarco he's a hilarious up and coming comedian. He hosted Mamdani's rally recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OeiGbzTCLk

I've seen clips of his material all over Instagram. I was just going to say the same. His delivery is so good. I really hope he becomes the next superstar comedian. He deserves the success

[–] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Love this guy! Thanks for introducing me.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 187 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

He’s leaving because NY is planning to arrest him for additional crimes that are unpardonable.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 69 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Expecting him to relocate to Texas and running for one of the new gerrymandered seats there. I wish I was joking.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 14 hours ago

I hope you aren't.

Well, you could always move to DC. I hear that runny orange cum dribbles freely down the chins of the proud Republicans there.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 129 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

They're already calling him "mayor Mamdani". Like it's a foregone conclusion and they've just given up.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Mayor Mamdani has a nice ring to it.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 8 points 12 hours ago

So does

ZOOOOHHHHRRRANNNNN MAAAAMMMMMDDDAAAANNNNNIIIII

emerges onto wrestling ring to mass applause

(…anybody? Am I the only one?)

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 47 points 22 hours ago

I HOPE they have given up, lmfao!!

Please provide an archive link to Santos saying this. If you want to help out and do it for the OP, you all have a half an hour.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

Thank you. I'd appreciate it if you put it in the body of your text, but it's not necessary at this point. If you post again and it's a famous person or politician, it will need an archive link like this.

According to MAGA, Trump is somehow protecting all of America but also isn't?

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The facist playbook. The enemy is both weak and very strong and dangerous. The only one that can protect us from "the others" is the facist dictator.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

facist

Why is this such a common typo? Doesn't anybody use spellcheck anymore?

Whatever fits their narrative of the hour.

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 25 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I think his cult views it like God and Satan. So no matter how omnipotent, God wasn't able to prevent Satan from accessing Eden as a snake and tempt Adam and Eve.

IMHO those people already have been heavily brainwashed by their religion so they're willing to believe whatever fits the main narrative.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Another lemming pointed out a hypothesis that explains all this:

To some, good and evil are something you inherently are, not just something you do.

Barring some very, very specific circumstances (e.g. baptism), the die is cast. From that vantage point, it's easy to have shorthand for good/bad guys, regardless of what deeds they commit. This is where corrupt leadership and propaganda slot-in by inventing new and exciting ways to judge people.

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 4 points 9 hours ago

That's just so stupid. Nothing against you and this take, it's likely not far from the truth. But the whole concept you describe is just.. dumb..

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

I love how Satan thought that Eve would've found a talking snake more trustworthy than his true form: an angel.

(Yes, I know that Satan being the snake was retconned. It's just another funny thing about Christian mythology that nobody thinks to point out.)

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago

Well, it's more like God likes to let Satan just do whatever, then punish everyone involved after.

I feel his tweet should have included "Because I broke the law"

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 22 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (4 children)

What disingenuous bullshit is this?

You can argue about majors being good or not until we die but this dude is acting as if the Shakira laws are about to be implemented with this mamdani.

Edit: sharia law, of course, thank you auto correct. Not fixing it, I guess it's funny :)

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 22 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

They all are clutching their pearls because Mamdani would demonstrate that a more leftist approach could be popular. This feels threatening to the Republicans because a neoliberal milquetoast Democratic party isn't dangerous to them, and this would be.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

neoliberal milquetoast Democratic party

It's threatening to them as well, note the amount of pushback from DNC fossils when he won the primary and the panic now that it seems he might win.
