This happened years ago when NY was trying to monitor NY residents shopping in NJ malls (due to lower sales tax); there was simply no way for them to do so, but they made clear their intention to try. NYC especially is the best thing for NJ retailers and gas stations.
I’d LOVE to see Bloomie in pink undies eating bologna sandwiches at Sheriff Joe’s while he awaits trial!
He is a dope, and has no business involving himself in this, but nobody would seriously consider him for president. Remember how poorly Rudy Giuliani, “America’s Mayor”, did in the primaries? I don’t think he won any delegates; what plays well in the Northeast is a disaster just about anywhere else in the country. Anyone running against him, in a primary or general election, needs only to use their publicity shots marching in gay parades to cost them 30+ states. With this jerk in particular, you could use his overturning the term limits law in NYC to convince people he would try the same as president: a commissar-for-life, so to speak. His war on saturated fats would cost him at least 45 states.
It has the same basis in English Common Law as his overturning of the term limits in NYC: He wanted to.
And he’d lose three more for the salt!
In the past NYC’s tyranny was NJ’s gain; now, NJ simply follows in their footsteps (higher sales tax, smoking bans).
That would be such a beautiful thing! It's about time elected officials were held to that same standard that the rest of us would be.
Any time his name is mentioned in the same sentence as “president” just means it is a slow news day; Hosni Mubarak will be our president before this joke even runs for the office.
Actually, they should be held to a far HIGHER standard. We all have jobs and don’t leech off the productivity of others.
As I was growing up, based upon his WW ll experience, my father despised Yankees, particularly New Yorkers.
His reason? NYers, and yankees in general, have an inability to mind their own damn business. New York has trouble with their minorities killing each other, well of course, they can fix New York Cities problem by taking away the guns of every old white rancher in Wyoming.
Hey, got a problem with air quality in NYC, well hell, change the laws in New Mexico.
You got a problem in the North East, fine, it is your problem so leave me and the rest of America alone!!!@!
Yeah, that would be as crazy as some never-did-anything Kenyan-born first-term Senator becoming President. /s
True.
“Bloomberg should probably keep his undercover officers dedicated to preventing crime in his own city, where the homicide rate is markedly higher than the state of Arizona.”
Does anybody know what the population is in AZ, as compared to NYC?
Has Bloomberg got a Napoleon complex?
AZ would probably have even less crime if it weren’t for the ILLEGAL immigrants.
I actually had considered that; great minds think alike!
It was simply easier to hide the Kenyan Muslim’s past & politics than it would be for Commissar Bloomberg.
That’s true. Bloomberg actually has a record of having done something other than get elected. I guess he should have thought of that before doing something with his life. LOL
If he wasn’t into grandstanding he could pretend to be a successful centrist businessman; he let the cat out of the bag that he was now just a rich, bored man who will lead us out of the darkness by making all of our decisions for us.
too much money makes Bloomberg think he is king...he is just a putz..
