No that’s a stretch, I liked Mamdani doing this but circumstances were only different in the sense that Trump was nicer to him. In each case he invited both and they each pledged to work with him for theirs constituents l. It’s fine to just acknowledge that political priors are determining reactions
She also says Americans are “losing jobs to visas”. That’s indulging her constituency and the GOP bases’s nativism. I mean maybe let’s pump the breaks a bit.
There were people literally dancing in the street in various cities but in media centric spaces it was weird and conflicted because they predicted it wouldn’t happen.
The he owes me 600 dollars stuff happened pretty soon as he took office and the cnn reporter who got fired for saying it was exciting when he was about to enter the White House probably earliest signs iirc.
Oh yeah good point
Yeah I hadn’t thought about that aspect of it tbh
Should I be seeing any difference I’m not seeing in Whitmer saying tariffs were good because the unions in her state like tariffs and Mamdani saying the guy who ran on “Haitian immigrants are eating your pets” actually wants to help struggling people? Again, whatever works but still…

Although you know we might just need to give this a couple days because Trump is gonna say some crazy awful shit again and Mamdani will denounce him for it.
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
