Outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio really puts the “lame” in “lame duck.” He’s just lame. Also ignorant and pompous and power-hungry.
That’s why even though he’s not going to be mayor for much longer, he’s as determined as ever to make New Yorkers’ lives — ideally all Americans’ lives — as abjectly miserable as possible.
And he couldn’t be prouder:

Harder! Stronger! Faster!
“Human beings are pretty predictable” says the guy who, in eight years as mayor, was perpetually outpaced by events. https://t.co/HHRRZkrmYF

Says the guy who doesn’t seem to have noticed all the New Yorkers who have fled to freer cities.
A mandate isn't leadership. Convincing people is leadership. A mandate means the leader has failed. https://t.co/bEktovC0A4

Excellent point.
People respond to fascism but how can we be fascistier?

“If you put your foot on someone’s neck, they’ll make the practical decision,” is certainly one way to approach being an elected public servant.

De Blasio takes glee in being a sanctimonious tyrant who abuses people-
In another era, he’d have been the KGB Chief across the table from political prisoners, angry at them for wasting his time with their refusal to sign confessions for crimes they did not commit https://t.co/0hMwaOHDGy
