Oh, New York City politics, where the drama never sleeps! Mayor Eric Adams, in his infinite wisdom and subtlety, has some sage advice for whoever’s brave enough to take over his job: “Don’t f*** it up.” Now, isn’t that just the kind of motivational speech you’d expect from the Big Apple’s leader? It’s like he’s channeling his inner Tony Robbins but with a touch more New York grit.
Adams is apparently quite proud of the state of NYC under his reign. He insists the city is in “good shape,” which might come as news to anyone who’s been stuck on a delayed subway or dodging potholes on their morning jog. But hey, let’s give credit where it’s due—at least he’s got confidence!
Quoting Bloomberg, Adams reiterated his point with another round of “Don’t f*** it up.” Clearly, this phrase is becoming a classic among NYC mayors. Maybe it’ll be etched into the walls of City Hall someday.

Now, let’s talk about what’s really going on here. Adams is wrapping up his time as mayor and seems a bit concerned about who might fill his shoes next. Enter Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee who’s got some ideas that is making Adams sweat bullets. Mamdani’s all about closing Rikers Island by 2027 and having mental health workers handle certain police duties. Adams thinks this could be risky business; after all, nothing says public safety like keeping things exactly as they are, right?
But there’s more. Mamdani also wants to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group and eliminate its gang database. To Adams, this sounds like an open invitation for chaos. And let’s not forget Mamdani’s economic plans: raising taxes on millionaires and corporations to fund public programs. Because who needs billionaires anyway? They’re only paying half of our taxes!
Adams isn’t shy about expressing his doubts that Mamdani can maintain what he calls a “strong record of success.” He warns New Yorkers that without clarity and focus on safety, things might go south faster than you can say “Times Square.”
In a move that surprised absolutely no one who’s been paying attention, Adams recently announced he’s stepping away from re-election ambitions via a heartfelt video on X (formerly known as Twitter). He thanked New Yorkers for making his story a reality because nothing says gratitude like bowing out when the going gets tough.
So there you have it. NYC politics at its finest. A mix of bold statements and even bolder personalities. As we watch this saga unfold, remember that in the city that never sleeps, neither does political theater. Here’s hoping whoever takes over can keep up with the pace…and maybe invest in some new catchphrases while they’re at it!
If New Yorkers elect Mamdani they will get exactly what they voted for! Socialism does not work; our founding fathers will be rolling over in their graves. Democraps are mentally ill and they show it daily.
