Holy shit, his first trip is not going to Israel! How dare he! Staying home, actually trying to get some work done, what a dunce! /s

Because the mayor has any power to do anything. Why the fuck do they need to have foreign trips? They are the local government. Stay in your lane.

This was so cringe.

Does ~~Germany~~ Israel have a right to exist as a ~~German~~ Jewish (ethno)state??? - the ~~Nazi~~ "democratic" debate moderators

This is just Nazi shit, and it's been normalized for so long that you get absolutely heinous moments like this on TV.

it's a total coincidence that he was specifically targeted for this sudden line of questioning that no one else has to go through. nothing to do with him being a muslim

Fighting on the front line of the global war on terror.

How is the phrase "war on terror" not an instant career ender? Also what the heck are these answers? Does none of these guys want to go to, I dunno, Paris or something?

It almost makes me wish I lived in NYC just to vote for him. Almost.

NYC has a wierd obsession with electing conservative mayors, or Dinos.
