The Best Part of the Trump-Zohran Meeting

@#4 ... In the first week Zohran Mamdani's job portal opened ...

An important official who has said she intends to stay in the position...

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to keep Jessica Tisch on as police commissioner
www.nbcnews.com

... Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced that he has chosen New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to continue in her role leading the largest police department in the nation.

As a candidate, Mamdani vowed to keep Tisch -- who was appointed commissioner by Mayor Eric Adams -- in the role.

Pledging to keep Tisch on as police commissioner could be seen as a way to assuage voters' concerns that Mamdani, a democratic socialist, would not take crime as a serious issue, and over his past statements to defund the police.

In a statement, he applauded Tisch for "cracking down on corruption in the upper echelons of the police department, driving down crime in New York City, and standing up for New Yorkers in the face of authoritarianism."

"Together, we will deliver a city where rank-and-file police officers and the communities they serve alike are safe, represented, and proud to call New York their home," Mamdani said in the statement. ...

But one thing we knew it did already was piss off the anti-Muslim haters. If enjoying that is wrong, I don't want to be right!

Isn't that the truth!

So, what was your old handle?

#8 I'd say if I am, as you say, Seniority: 30, that sounds like an "old handle" to me.

@#7 ... But one thing we knew it did already was piss off the anti-Muslim haters ...

MAGA seems to be quite concerned about the warm, admiring, reception Pres Trump gave Mayor-elect Mamdani in the Oval Office.

MAGA seemed to be expecting a reception more along the lines of the February 25, 2025 Trump-Vance Oval Office ambush of Pres Zelensky.

Laura Loomer Completely Melts Down Over Mamdani-Trump Meeting
newrepublic.com

... Self-described "proud Islamophobe" Laura Loomer could barely conceal her rage about President Donald Trump's meeting with NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani Friday, which, by all appearances, went shockingly well.

"Not condemning Trump," Loomer disclaimed, before launching into her tirade. "However, I think we can all agree its a bad look to let a foreign born jihadist who said he wants to implement ANTI WHITE policies like taxing white people more money to stand behind the desk in the Oval Office."

It seems like Trump himself would disagree with Loomer's characterization: In the meeting, when asked if he "thought he was standing next to a jihadist," Trump said, "No, I don't."

When a reporter asked whether Mamdani still believed the president was a fascist, Trump said,"You can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind," while patting the mayor-elect on the arm. ...

@#11

OK, my opinion is that Ms Loomer is a loonie.

So, let's try to find a more rational MAGA person ...

MAGA Reacts to Donald Trump's Praise of Zohran Mamdani
www.newsweek.com

... "Johnny MAGA," who has about 265,000 followers on X, called it an "incredible moment in the Oval as Trump extends the olive branch to Zohran."

"MAGA Voice," with around 1.3 million followers on X, said the president "has Zohran Mamdani shaking his head yes the whole time," adding, "This was such a power move by President Trump."

User "MJTruthUltra," who has about 597,200 followers on X, said, "Trump and Mamdani exchange niceties and talk about their mutual respect' they have for one another I wasn't expecting this ... you?"

"DogRightGirl," with about 346,900 followers on X, said, "Trump is in complete control and relaxed. Mamdani is out of his league and nervous." ...

Bronx Science. Big brain. Congratulations.

Ah, ok.

Didn't recognize your name and you've been around here longer than me. So figured you had changed your name recently. Either that, or you only started posting recently for some reason.

@#14 ... That was for 4. ...

That is how I understood it.

@#15 ... Either that, or you only started posting recently for some reason. ...

Yeah, that aspect has been a curiosity for me here.

Why do these older aliases, that have been dormant of a decade or two, suddenly decide to become alive?

Currently, because I do not have an answer to that question, I am ~playing along.~

Zohran Mamdani appeared on national TV (NBC's "Meet the Press") and showed the US why we New Yorkers voted for him over Andrew 'Benedict Arnold' Cuomo and former McDonald's night manager Curtis Sliwa (who is an animal rights advocate).

Zohran wants to create a social services constabulary (armed or unarmed) to deal with mental illness cases and disturbed homeless people. The term NYPD uses for them is "EDP" (Emotionally Disturbed Person) and these EDPs are treated more as suspected criminals rather than genuine psych patients. Zohran's strategy will then free up the 35,000-strong NYPD to deal with more serious issues, resulting in less Tasering or shooting of EDPs.

Even though House Minority Leader Hakeem "I Got Mine" Jeffries (D-NY) rendered a late and tepid endorsement for Zohran, the NYC Mayor-elect signaled he wants Jeffries to stay on. NYC Councilman Chi Osse then dropped out of the race to primary Hakeem.

NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) would be wise to support Zohran's initiatives for NYC as she will be facing the vapid Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in 2026 whose platform is smearing Zohran as a communist Muslim socialist antifa Marxist jihadist and the face of the Democratic Party.

Outside NYC, the Empire State is basically Red. In 2022 Hochul won with 3,140,415 votes with a 47% voter turnout. The repugnant Lee Zeldin (R-NY) garnered 2,762,581 votes. The incumbent Democratic governor will need our downstate 1,036,051 votes in 50 weeks time.

"All aboard the Zohran Mamdani Express!"

So much troll interest for a tiny site (e.g., Hans who shows up every four years or so, or SheepleSchism and OneIronTurd). And new accounts from peeps like our jihadist-in-residence, C0RI0LANUS (who turns all topics, no matter how unrelated, to the Jews every time).

Can only imagine that they are practicing their craft here for bigger fish?

Occam's Razor in the age of paid internet trolls alleviates much of the mystery.

Go ---- yourself Hans.

Given his rep here, guess I can understand why Hans chose to change his handle and then not reveal his old one.

Thanks to BoAZ for the info.

@#22 ... Mystery solved? ...

Solved? I'm not there yet.

But do I notice similarities in comments posted by some alias over the years?

Oh yeah.

From my days as a BBS sysop (decades ago), such was needed for the survival of the message board, and to prevent the trolls from taking over the board.

Which is why I often express my gratitude to RCade for not only providing this most august discussion site, but in the way he manages it. I know of no other site on the web like this one.

To be honest, I would not want the task nowadays of managing a site like this nowadays. For starters, way too many apparent foreign operatives.

Why is Boaz trying to flirt with Hans again? (were A_Friend really THE Hans?!)

No one ever tells me anything! But I do love a good mystery. I'm reading Christopher Moore's humorous mystery Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings at the moment.

@#24

The mystery deepens.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of As The Drudge Turns ...

Major DEI Boaz has issues that completely transcend what anonymous posters on the Internet have to say.

It is, however, a joy to watch and behold.

Thanks for your in-kind contributions to the Democratic Party and its candidates ...

#25 As the screw turns.

As the stomach turns.

As the heart fails to respond.

Yep.

They mystery deepens ...

I noticed.

It seemed to be quite odd.

And out of prior character.

... Dean Obeidallah: The best part of the Trump-Zohran meeting was what happened immediately afterwards! ...

Nah, the best part is how Pres Trump seemed to have turned against his MAGA supporters.

Trump backs Cuomo for New York City mayor and threatens to cut funding if Mamdani wins (November 4, 2025)
www.bbc.com

... "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job," Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday evening. "He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!"

The president earlier said he would be reluctant to send more than "the very minimum" level of federal funding to his hometown of New York if Mamdani was elected.

This echoed comments he made in a television interview on Sunday, during which he referred to Mamdani as a communist -- a label that Mamdani rejects.

"It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York," Trump said in the interview. "Because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there". ...

... and then ...

Trump's wild Mamdani flip -- the insults that came before the love fest
www.foxnews.com

... From "nut job" to "communist lunatic," Trump over the past year has lobbed a series of attacks against Mamdani " targeting his appearance and intellect.

"He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart," Trump said in a social media post in June after Mamdani became the Democratic candidate for mayor.

Trump once threatened to arrest Mamdani if he refused to comply with federal immigration officials. The comment came after Mamdani said in June that he would stop "masked" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from "deporting our neighbors."
Oval Office meeting between Trump and Mamdani

"Well, then we'll have to arrest him," Trump told reporters at the White House July 1. "Look, we don't need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over them very carefully on behalf of the nation. We send him money. We send him all the things that he needs to run a government." ...

...

However, the two appeared to forge a new path for their relationship as they found common ground on affordability issues and improving conditions in New York. Trump admitted that the two had more in common than he thought -- despite their different views -- and that he would be "cheering" for Mamdani as he leads the city.

"I expect to be helping him, not hurting him -- a big help," Trump said Friday. ...
