Zohran Mamdani Sworn in as NYC Mayor

Zohran Mamdani (34) was sworn in as the 112th Mayor of NYC by US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), flanked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), City Comptroller Mark Levine, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.

Zohran Mamdani placed his hand on a Quran as US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) administered the oath of office, making him the first Muslim Mayor of NYC and the youngest one in 100 years.

"New York, thank you for inspiring our nation," Sanders declared.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) praised Zohran for energizing new voters.

"We have chosen courage over fear. We have chosen prosperity for many over spoils for the few," Ocasio-Cortez said.
The Bronx High School of Science graduate was joined at the ceremony by his wife, Rama Duwaji, and his parents, filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani.

NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D) who attended the inauguration, bleated that she will not raise income taxes. The inauguration crowd then erupted in chants of "tax the rich." Hochul will need the full backing of New Yorkers in her re-election campaign against MAGA Islamophobe ICE fanatic Bruce Blakeman.

Fellow NY Democrats Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was reported to have attended the inauguration, but House Minority Hakeem Jeffries was not seen. Disgraced ex-NYS Governor Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo, the political hack who betrayed the Democratic Party of his father, Mario, did not attend the event.

There is no indication that NYPD officers are leaving their careers for Florida, despite all the invitations from Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and county sheriffs in the Sunshine State, nor is there any evidence of millionaires fleeing NYC because of Zohran Mamdani, a young visionary who has the support of Dummkopf Trumpf and ex-POTUS Barack Obama.

"There is no indication that NYPD officers are leaving their careers for Florida"

That's a shame.

Nobody would miss them, and they'd be happier in Trumplandia.

It's kind of creepy the way Guy Fawkes mask resembles Zohran Mamdani.

The mustache, mischievous smile and sqinty eyes.

Fawkes was a failure and Mamdani will be.

Zohran Mamdani placed his hand on a Quran

As opposed to Lewzer, who placed his hand on nothing.

Well, there's the start to a Creepy New Year of postings.

Why would you say something so racist and asinine that it really can't be ignored... attention troll much?

#5 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 06:42 PM

He promised free transportation but bus fares are controlled by the MTA and the state.

Without funding and political backing he doesn't control, that promise isn't his to deliver.

We'll see but I have my doubts.

By the power vested in me as Mayor of the City of New York, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. All Executive Orders issued prior to September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby continued unless specifically revoked, revised, or superseded by a subsequently issued Executive Order. All Executive Orders issued on or after September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby revoked.

Corky,

Racist?

Typical come back.

I don't know whether to hope you are lying, or that you aren't really that ignorant of what you implied... which would be truly tragic, if not truly surprising.

#9 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 06:49 PM

"Zohran Mamdani placed his hand on a Quran"

This matters more to BillJohnson than Trump placing his hand inside a thirteen year old girl.

"We will replace the rigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism"
~ Mamdami

Classic propaganda, could have come right out of the Cultural revolution.

Isn't this somewhat anti-american?

#11 | Posted by oneironaut at 2026-01-01 06:54 PM

Obama wore a tan suit, though, so these people are all alike, lol... just as bad as racism or pedophilia, apparently.

#12 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 06:54 PM

Snoofy,

Did I mention how he sworn in?

He could have used any book, as far as I'm concerned.

How was that racist? Because someone implies he looks like someone else?

Lumpers have lost their minds.

#14 | Posted by oneironaut at 2026-01-01 06:55 PM


Nobody would miss them (cops), and they'd be happier in Trumplandia.
#2 | POSTED BY SNOOFY

They might be happier but I doubt the citizens left behind will be.

#15 | Posted by oneironaut at 2026-01-01 06:57 PM

Corky,

Seeing racism when none was intended is the reason that accusation is losing its affect.

#16 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-01 06:57 PM

'We the People' is collectivism; the good kind where it is balanced with individual rights.

www.google.com

Of course, Trumpers and their Green Card obfuscators can only hold one thought in their heads at a time... if that many.

#17 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 06:59 PM

BJ-

You being oblivious of the long-held racist caricature of Muslims you intentionally described... is believable coming from you, however unfortunate deep oblivion that might be.

#18 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 07:02 PM

#13 | Posted by BillJohnson

No you mentioned his beady eyes and untrustworthy appearance.

Are we not supposed to think it's racist, when you choose to hate on someone you already hate, this time because of their physical features?

Explain why it's not racist.

I will leave you with a quote that perfectly describes how your brand of racism operates:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for those are their opinions. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." - Jean-Paul Sartre, 1946.

"Seeing racism when none was intended"

What was intended?

#20 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-01 07:06 PM

"If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

And this is how you bow out of every discussion, BillJohnson.

If you don't just ghost the thread.

You have no morals and you know it.

#21 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-01 07:12 PM

Quoting Sartre to BJ?

He just heard a swooshing sound over his head...

#22 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 07:12 PM

No you mentioned his beady eyes and untrustworthy appearance.

Don't forget BJ can judge a person's character from a two second, non-verbal video clip.

#23 | Posted by REDIAL at 2026-01-01 07:13 PM

Snoofy,

"No you mentioned his beady eyes and untrustworthy appearance.
Are we not supposed to think it's racist"

What race did I insult?

#24 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-01 07:14 PM

And 1Nut reached for a Fortune Cookie for an explanation.

#25 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-01 07:14 PM

Snoofy,

"beady eyes and untrustworthy appearance"

At least you got that part right.

#26 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-01 07:18 PM

#24 It might be easier to name the one race you haven't insulted, BJ boi:

The White Race.

Other than that, well, I suggest, you deny.

" Did I mention how he sworn in? He could have used any book, as far as I'm concerned."

Clearly, he couldn't, as far as you're concerned.

In fact you were VERY concerned. Otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up.

You realize you have a bad habit of lying to yourself, right?

#28 | Posted by Danforth at 2026-01-01 07:58 PM

Dan,

"Otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up."

I didn't bring up anything about how he was sworn in.

I simply said he resembles Fawkes masks.

I've seen you over and over and over tell bold faced lies claiming I say things I never did.

#29 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-01 08:11 PM

#24 | Posted by BillJohnson

Would you agree that you insulted Muslims, would that sit better with you?

#30 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-01 08:18 PM

#30 | Posted by snoofy

Not a race.

#31 | Posted by oneironaut at 2026-01-01 08:21 PM

Dan,

Guy Fawkes was Muslim?

#32 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-01 08:22 PM

Next thing Snoofys going to claim the overthrow of Iran was racist by the Persians

#33 | Posted by oneironaut at 2026-01-01 08:23 PM

#16 | Posted by BillJohnson

Making bigoted comments and then denying you're making bigoted comments is what makes you a low class and untrustworthy man.

#34 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-01 08:28 PM

Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the government.

You're obviously thinking the same of Mamdani. He's going to do something very bad to New York City.

Making the comparison serves no other purpose than to Virtue Signal your bigotry to other Deplorables.

#35 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-01 08:29 PM

Somebody on this thread thinks Zohran Mamdani should have been sworn in on the Torah or Jeffrey Epstein's client book?

Dear Leader would not approve of maligning Zohran, see Dummkopf Trumpf supporters?
