Bill de Blasio, like his progressive political idol Barack Obama, is finding out that you can’t do the New Politics if you don’t pay attention to the old politics.
In Obama’s case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didn’t buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress. For New York’s ambitious liberal mayor, it was an inability to keep long-simmering tensions with the city’s traditionally powerful police department from boiling over in the last few days.
Just over a year after sailing into office with 72 percent of the vote on a message of transformational change, de Blasio found his mayoralty subsumed by a torrent of anger, unleashed by the murder of two police officers in Brooklyn Saturday by a troubled gunman who said he was killing “pigs” to avenge the deaths of two men by cops in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri. By Monday, de Blasio was lashing out at the press corps that covers him, trying to paper over public divisions with his own police commissioner and coping with what friends described as the emotional blow of facing public rejection by many in the nation’s biggest police force. “He’s pretty badly shaken” by the murders, one told us....

I am still waiting for DeBlasio to tell all of New York his real name!
lost them??? he never had them- this POS has always been anti-police...isn’t his wife’s chief of staff shacked up with a cop killer??
with a head full of marxist swill,
He tried to ignite it on New York's finest, now he's tasting his own bitter pill.
Now he’s lost his supporters by calling for them to stop protesting.
“friends described as the emotional blow “
good. maybe he’ll end up at Bellevue.
I missed Chairman Zero ever cooperating with any Republican in Congress. Except for leadership, of course.
Warren has a serious problem.
Have you seen that huge fence he had put up to keep the little people out
Geee his has been in office so long........not
“He’s pretty badly shaken” by the murders”
B.S. He’s shaken by the blowback from supporting Al’s Circus and Shakedown.
The mental disease of liberalism is on display in the entirety of this God awful mess from the beginning until now. Chaos seems to be building at a frightening rate.
New York’s nightmare is DeBlasio
pity piece
But can New Yorkers understand that? Doubtful
So, we elect a president that has a strong history of socialism and we expect things to get better.
NY elects a Mayor that is an admitted communists in the hopes that things will get better.
Gee, who will we elect next ... I understand Satan is available.
I like your comment a lot.
What a mess the NY city is in. When Rudy was the mayor of the city he cleaned it up big time.
It is a very difficult time now in NY city .
Yea, what was his maiden name again?! LOL
I noticed that too. President “I won” has never tried to work with congress. From the get-go he was a turd.
And for any race-baiters out there reading this: Turds come in all colors.
>> I understand Satan is available.
Oh, satan is already in office.
He works through puppets like Obama and DeBlasio.
