Stupid prick. I hope he does run for president. Set the damn democrats back another decade. Regards 18DAI

Not sure about Ghandi, but from what I've seen on documentaries, Ford and Edison were pretty shady individuals.

Well, I liken him to something that gets flushed down the toilet every day.

I liken him to Larry, Moe, and Curly. Just not as bright.

Well, being that he fancies himself in such good company, clearly he deserves the raise he's getting this year.

Bill de Blasio’s 2018 Salary Increase Is More Than What Minimum Wage Workers Earn a Year

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will ring in the new year with a 15 percent salary bump that adds up to more than what a minimum wage worker earns in a year.
Bill de Blasio, who takes home $225,000 a year, will begin his second term January 1, 2018, with a $33,750 raise, bringing his salary to $258,750 per year, the New York Post reports.


The mayor authorized legislation in 2016 that would give him the pay raise, which adds up to more than what a minimum wage worker in New York City makes in a year.

As of December 31, 2017, a minimum wage worker in the city makes $12-$13 per hour, according to New York State’s Department of Labor. If a minimum wage employee works an average of eight hours a day for five days a week, that employee will make $23,040-$24,960 per year. De Blasio’s raise will be at least $8,790 more than the average minimum wage employee.

Unlike de Blasio, his predecessor former Mayor Michael Bloomberg opted for a much leaner salary. Bloomberg took a $1 per year salary during his tenure as mayor.

President Stampy Feet used to do the same thing. One day he's Lincoln the next day he's MLK...then Reagan. There were others, but you get the point. They have to claim these identities because their own is so unpalatable.

Gee, doesn't that conflict with this from my earlier post?

Bill de Blasio declares a ‘new progressive era’ in New York

By David Weigel January 1 at 4:44 PM

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) began his second term Monday by decrying a “new dawn of divisiveness” in the United States and suggesting that “a new progressive era” had begun in the country’s largest city.

“A society where only the 1 percent can get ahead is truly a house divided against itself,” de Blasio said. “It is a reality that cannot be sustained...”

Meanwhile, 12 people die in an apartment fire in the shithole he's in charge of.

maybe a slight likeness to Edison.

He’s a true legend

VVVVVVVVVVVVV

In his own mind

That guy is a total ass.

Not sure what was more agravating this weekend, seeing him sworn in for his second term by Bernie Sanders or that he immediately gave him self a 15% raise once Bernie was done. At his salary that 15% is more than some of his public works folks make in a year. He's pathetic and is well known for being the laziest mayor the city ever had.

He's term-limited from running for NYC mayor again, so he's looking for a gravy train that doesn't involve actual work for after his mayoral gig is over.

The difference between being an unemployed former mayor and 'exploring a run for XYZ' is whether there is some PAC/committee writing checks. Setting that up for later has to be a priority.

What a slam in the face to NY officials. they weren't good enough for the task? A clear indication the welfare of NY isn't important but his future in politics.

Meanwhile, the city is in such great shape...

Chicago and New York rank at the bottom of a new analysis of fiscal strength based primarily on data from 2015 financial reports issued by the cities themselves. The analysis includes 116 U.S. cities with populations greater than 200,000. See the full rankings here.

"President Stampy Feet." I like that. I think I'll steal it!

Socialist scumbag. Yes, it works so well everywhere else. Where are the tar and feathers?


De Blasio Really Has An Issue With A Basic American Right

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio once argued for a planned economy, claiming that the legal protection of private property is what is causing serious inequality in the city.

“What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio told New York Magazine in September 2017.

“I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs,” de Blasio said. “And I would, too.”

De Blasio went on to say that it is unfortunate the law stands in the way of “hundreds of years of history” of Americans having the right to private property.

“Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development,” de Blasio said.

The solution to fixing housing and other perceived ills in the city, according to de Blasio, is to rid itself of exclusionary private property rights.

“Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level,” de Blasio told New York Magazine.

“They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.”

De Blasio promised Monday at his second swearing in as New York City mayor to usher the city into a “new progressive era” that will spread beyond the city’s “borders.”

“Something big is happening in New York City,” de Blasio told a crowd of hundreds gathered in front of City Hall Monday. The 56-year-old Democratic mayor announced a commitment to bring about “a new progressive era in this city’s history,” one that will be “felt beyond our borders.”

This is one of the most frightening quotes I have ever read.
