Originally published at: Zohran Mamdani Congratulates Cuomo on Trump Endorsement
Kiss of Death President Trump acknowledged during his “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday that if he had to pick between the Democratic nominee in New York City’s mayoral election this week, Zohran Mamdani, and New York’s former Democratic governor, Andrew Cuomo, he’d go with the latter. The shrug in Cuomo’s direction is representative…

Cuomo spent the day being driven around NYC in a white Ford Bronco. There’s so much symbolism in his campaign, and it’s all putrid.

The House, of course, has been out of session since House Republicans passed the GOP CR on Sept. 19. That was 45 days ago. Johnson will have to bring them back in order to pass any new CR.
He’ll have to call them back sooner or later. They do have work to do…like that insurance replacement plan that is (looks at past calendars) is 7-8 years past due. But then it’s on the table - but it must be invisible or written with invisible ink.

So, Trump is acknowledging a difference between a Democrat and a communist? That is going to freak out a lot of MAGA world.

They won’t remember. He could tell them today that his shit smells of lemonade, and they’d concur wholeheartedly until the gag reflex kicked in. Then they’d return tomorrow morning, already having forgotten and eager for the next round of abuse.

I think Johnson is hoping that Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and he never has to deal with Congress again. (Trump AND Johnson.)

"Because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there,” Trump said.
The Trump Organization invites you to a better investment…

The Democrats strategy seems pretty simple to me - wait until the ReThug House CR Bill becomes extinct on 21 November and then tell Johnson that they will stage a sit-in on the House floor to prevent any NEW CR from coming to a vote until 1) the House votes on demanding release of the Epstein files, and 2) ANY NEW CR contains an extension for the expiring Obamacare subsidies until the end of this Congress. Anything else and it’s war.
GRINDR Johnson had NO idea that his first CR would never pass and go extinct. He still may not understand that he is LOSING everything and everywhere.

So the First Felon is planning to take more money from NYC. When does NYC stop the flow of funds into the Fed budget?
That said, do we know yet how many votes have been cast in the city for early voting - the Felon’s threat is entirely too late to make a difference.

Wait until Mayor Mamdani and his City Council pass a City Wealth Tax and a City Earnings Tax and tells Trump they don’t need no stinking ReThug money with strings attached. NYC is the one place in America where local taxes on the rich and famous can build a lot of bridges, tunnels and publicly owned grocery stores.

Any wagers on how many court challenges will result when Mamdani wins?

House Republicans are exploring ways to prevent Zohran Mamdani from ever being sworn in as mayor if he prevails in Tuesday’s election by using the US Constitution’s “insurrection clause,” The Post has learned.
The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to prevent the NYC mayoral front-runner from taking the oath of office Jan. 1 under an idea floated this summer.
It cites language in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to the Constitution barring from office anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or who has “given aid or comfort to the enemies” of the nation. The group argues that Mamdani’s own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.
“There is a real and legitimate push to see the insurrectionist Zohran Mamdani either a) removed from the ballot or b) removed from office if he is to win on Tuesday,” Stefano Forte, president of the New York Young Republicans, told The Post.

Meanwhile, House Republicans are doubling down on their effort to push the Justice Department to probe Mamdani’s path to citizenship.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has goosed his own earlier campaign to prod the federal government to investigate statements the New York assemblyman made when he became a naturalized citizen in 2018. The lawmaker wrote Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday trying to spur action and urging her to “uphold the integrity of its citizenship process.”
His idea has snowballed since The Post broke a story about his plan Sunday, as he booked a slew of media appearances and vowed to continue.
Ogles wrote the Justice Department Oct. 28, citing The Post’s reporting and reupping his call to have Mamdani deported over his “refusal to disavow violent anti-American rhetoric.” Current law bars membership in a Communist or totalitarian party for people becoming citizens.
He accuses Mamdani, 34, of engaging in a “broader pattern of conduct inconsistent with the oath of allegiance required of new citizens.” He asks Bondi for any update on the scope of any inquiry and “the steps being taken to determine whether denaturalization proceedings are warranted.” His comments were even more fiery on X, where he accused Mamdani of coming to the US from Uganda “to turn America into an Islamic theocracy.”**…
Zohran Mamdani came to the United States when he was 7 years old.

But J6 didn’t disqualify anyone last year.
It is to laugh if it weren’t truly pathetic.
