He had influence because of a terrorist attack and being a dumb lickspittle to a con man with Russian mob contacts. New Yorkers hated Giuliani before it was cool.

I refuse to have hope.

I was working the dish room at Cracker Barrel when this song came on the radio.

The entire back of house sang “Work sucks”

And the front of house sang “I know”

And from then on we got classic rock at best, and no music at worst.

Oh you mean like Rudy Giuliani? Mayor of the biggest city? The Mayor of America?

Unless we’re going to back to polities like the ancient Greeks NYC thinks too highly of itself.

I saw “What Dreams May Come” in high school and wept the entire way from the theater to the car.

Even met some friends on the way and had to explain I was crying because it was so beautiful.

Oh goody, one good thing could happen anywhere while a million bad things could happen a million times in a million places.

You’re not gonna trick me into having hope over one dumb mayoral election. We’re too fucked for that to make a difference.

Not a presidential election. Or a senate election. Or even a house election.

A mayoral election.

And this should scare the DNC?

Baloney.

Don’t worry, even if it’s good now it won’t be good later for some dumb reason

I look forward to his single term fighting against every entrenched power structure in the city and also the procedural bullshit that will hamstring anything good he tries to do.

Or losing to the Republican.

I really don’t think Trump cares about public opinion.

The government doesn’t work that way anymore. We’re not gonna Woodward and Bernstein our way out of this.

Also: since when does Trump care what’s legal?

Yeah, that one wasn’t nearly as good

Looks like it’s just a guy with the same name.

Unless the famous Mikkelsen has had a really rough 21 years

Yeah.

Plus my racist neighbors with their chemlawn are pissed

She’s my first project car and I guess she wanted to be a doozy.

Also if my rings were leaking 8-10 psi of boost you’d think it wouldn’t drive at all, let alone be about as good as a regular Golf

Maybe it needs a good nut blasting in the intakes

ETA: Also my coil packs gave out a while back and my mechanic did a compression test on it and everything was fine.

Maybe, in the far future, I elected to have my skull sent back in time for that purpose.

Because I totally would.

I let milkweed take over my front planting bed and I’m ecstatic

Yeah but fewer people get the references

Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.

Didn’t the house already impeach him twice?
