Let the head asplosions begin!

NEW YORK (AP) — Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani will take his midnight oath of office on a centuries-old Quran, marking the first time a mayor of New York City uses Islam’s holy text to be sworn in and underscoring a series of historic firsts for the city.

When the 34-year-old Democrat becomes mayor in a long-closed subway station beneath City Hall, he’ll be the first Muslim, first South Asian and first African-born person to hold that position.

These milestones — as well as the historical Quran he will use for the ceremony — reflect the longstanding and vibrant Muslim residents of the nation’s most populous city, according to a scholar who helped Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, select one of the books.

Most of Mamdani’s predecessors were sworn in on a Bible, although the oath to uphold the federal, state and city constitutions does not require the use of any religious text.

And while he has focused heavily on the issue of affordability during his campaign, Mamdani was outspoken about his Muslim faith. He frequently appeared at mosques across the five boroughs as he built a base of support that included many first-time South Asian and Muslim voters.

Mamdani will place his hand on two Qurans during the subway ceremony: his grandfather’s Quran and a pocket-sized version that dates back to the late 18th or early 19th century. It is part of the collection at the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

That's too fitting Kep.

Unfortunately 2026 is looking to be quite bumpy. Especially if someone has another stroke, and the results of which can't be hidden.

My bro-in-law and I were discussing wacky predictions for 2026 last night. Mine is that Dump won’t be in office on Dec 31, 2026, either due to direct medical issues (heart, stroke) or 25A due to cognitive/dementia.

Here’s hoping…..

That makes sense about the aspirin since he has such thin skin

What the bloody hell is going on? They just showed a commercial asking for people to join the secret service. (and they showed a picture of orange man after he got it)

This after weeks of asking people to join ICE and Homeland Security.

Are things really that bad working for this administration?

no, it's going to get bad for a lot of people, though

daycare subsidies ending = many women unable to work

more than 50 companies already on WARN list for Jan layoffs lmao, so many companies don't even file and take the fine

The rapist runs, as always.

“We won in court and forced him to. Trump’s rambling here is the political version of “you can’t fire me, I quit.”

Newsom is a POS and he won't help us any more than Bill and Hillary did, but he can win and give us the breathing room to recapture the feds. When his brand of neoliberal Wall Street shitfuckery fails, we can attack from the Left, with the Nazis having run like roaches to the tech bros.

 

[Kepler]

The only thing that can stop Platner winning is the DNC crooks & cowards.

 

[aparch]

The myth that keeps on trying to exist: the moderate democrats don't exist.

De acuerdo.

De acuerdo. Unless Platner is anti-abortion or some crazy ass shit where he’s not even protecting basic human rights, like Politico’s choice for future of the Democratic Party MGP, then, like the Backstreet Boys crooned many moons ago…I don’t care who you are…where you’re from…what you did…(just fucking win, baby).

That said, if Mills beats him, IDGAF. My crooning holds true for Mills. Drew seems concerned with Platner though, as he’s not arguing the usual out-of-state donations with him.

 

[Kepler]

Yes, blue no matter who, but Platner gives us the best chance. The country has correctly identified liberals as corporate cons. There is no such thing as too far Left now. That is where the voters are. But the Dems would rather lose than meet them there, because they have been bribed by the Epstein class.

Yup, we need to vote for someone who boosted a far right, neo-nazi on Twitter today.

 

[Kepler]

"We"?

 

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

North Carolina is on a roll tonight. 4 progressives win, and the biggest GOP pol in the state is currently down

and the cunt who voted with the Rs to make businesses comply with ICE got absolutely WRECKED tonight. 48 points wrecked

Texas is full of fuckery, SC made a ruling to cut off votes at 7 even if you were in line, and ONLY for dems. Wasserman called it tho, and all the Rs who voted for Crockett are sad racist noises.

Shamwow guy files suit against texas GOP saying they cost him his race by leaving the word Shamwow off the ballot.

Lt Dan, the one eyed POS, loses his primary lol

Dems flip a state house seat in Arkansas by 27%

you all of a sudden have an issue with nazis? that's new.

The main Dem (Harris) will finish first in the GA jungle primary to replace MTG. Runoff against the main MAGAt (Fuller) will be April 7.

But don't get too excited: there were 15 Republicans and 2 Dems on the ballot splitting the vote. Fuller is a full-on dipshit, but he can't blow an R +30 seat.

GA GOP is the usual nest of vipers:

The biggest loser of the night was Fuller’s main Republican challenger, Colton Moore, a former member of the Georgia General Assembly who was banned from the state-Senate floor after calling the late Speaker of the Georgia House David Ralston “one of the most corrupt Georgia leaders we’ll ever see in our lifetimes,” during a memorial for Ralston at the state House. Despite the ban, Moore later attempted to attend Governor Brian Kemp’s State of the State address and was subsequently arrested. He has been endorsed by the former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz and Kyle Rittenhouse, the man who, as a seventeen year old, shot three people, killing two, at a racial-justice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Those are some "impressive" endorsements for a guy who isn't the MAGAt frontrunner.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

15 Republicans who just want to get "rich" off of public service. It's interesting that the only job in public service you can get rich off of is politics which is the least productive and least important to society.

Nice Country.
