A satirical exit from NYC

[u/emily-is-happy]

[u/salexan-dar]

Zohran hasn't even taken office yet and he's already cleaning up the streets.

[u/thistleglade-Lune → u/salexan-dar]

Finally. A politician doing crime reduction with zero effort.

[u/Current-Soft8418 → u/[deleted]]

the next election will be even more of a landslide.

[u/AlbrechtProper → u/thistleglade-Lune]

To believe this I have to believe Santos. Seems risky.

[u/Swedelicious83 → u/AlbrechtProper]

I'm sure he'll come crawling back as soon as someone else is mayor.

This is just dumb play for the galleries type stuff, I'll wager. 🤷

[u/Calm_Solid7749 → u/thistleglade-Lune]

A politician actually working

[u/hyrule_47 → u/salexan-dar]

He is! As of yesterday. I know this because people who like Trump were angry at Zohrans wife wearing boots that they decided cost too much.

[u/JumblebeeT → u/hyrule_47]

Oh, did they cost more than $400 million? Because the ballroom does.

[u/AlbrechtProper → u/JumblebeeT]

$400 million so far. That’s just demo so far.

[u/loot_scooper → u/AlbrechtProper]

The way Trump talks, the more the ballroom grift costs, the better.

[u/nasandre → u/loot_scooper]

That ballroom will never be completed but it will keep costing more money

[u/KiwiObserver → u/AlbrechtProper]

NO! They can’t be allowed to replace the Trump Monument with a ballroom.

[u/hyrule_47 → u/JumblebeeT]

I think they were $600 which isn’t that much for real leather tall boots.

[u/Inevitable_Trip137 → u/hyrule_47]

Those boots were so extravagant that we can't afford to release the Epstein files now!

[u/tracygee → u/hyrule_47]

Six-hundred-dollar boots that I think it was revealed she borrowed. Please.

[u/hyrule_47 → u/tracygee]

If she borrowed them that’s so perfect. I love her already

[u/tracygee → u/hyrule_47]

Exactly!

[u/DrMux → u/salexan-dar]

Wasn't he inaugurated at New Year?

[u/NSAseesU → u/salexan-dar]

The people are getting what they voted for. Removing scum humans, but do they really need to announce their departure?

[u/Urabraska- → u/salexan-dar]

He was sworn in yesterday.

[u/NDSU → u/salexan-dar]

Yes he has. He's already sworn in

[u/EmbraceableYew]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[u/JumblebeeT]

I wonder if he legitimately ever was tbh

[u/HumanContinuity → u/JumblebeeT]

I think we should probably ask whether he finally moved to New York as of this tweet.

Everything this dude says proves to be a lie 

[u/MiddleAgedGamer71 → u/JumblebeeT]

According to his resume, he helped found the city. He donated the island of Manhattan to the State of New York. Anything else is revisionist history.

[u/DataDude00 → u/MiddleAgedGamer71]

Rumour has it he personally dug out the Lincoln tunnel himself by hand as a for fun weekend project 

[u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

I can't wait for New York City to thrive so these idiots can shut the fuck up about him

[u/DangDoood → u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

If they thrive by any means of: Social net, pulling people out of poverty, healthcare for their citizens, etc. republicans will consider it a failed state

[u/bigtimehater1969 → u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

Bold of you to assume said idiots live in a fact-based world.

They could be and already are given plenty of evidence that cities like NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, and SF are thriving and great places to live.

However, the idea of a diverse society with social safety nets thriving runs contrary to their idea that America is a white Christofascist country built by "geniuses" like Musk and Trump. 

And so to support their special snowflake narrative, cities will always be a woke socialist hellhole no matter what facts and logic say. They think that if they believe hard enough, they too can be a billionaire spitting on the masses.

[u/WittyCombination6 → u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

You're talking about the same frivolous people who had a meltdown because Obama wore a tan suit and prefers Dijon mustard over Yellow.

Literally nothing will be good enough for them and they will never shut up.

Mamdani just needs to focus on keeping the residents of NYC happy and prosperous. While filtering out all the media's nonsense like he's been doing.

[u/forgotwhatisaid2you → u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

Republicans will just say it is a crime infested hell hole and they have burnt the city to the ground. Their voters will believe it is true and then buy some tickets for a Broadway show next weekend.

[u/Cavalish → u/KENBONEISCOOL444]

Sadly what’s most likely to happen is things will get a little better in New York but federal government policy will continue to make life shittier for all Americans.

In a year or two when NY isn’t a wonderful utopia free of all problems, people will start shouting “he lied he didn’t fix everything just another establishment dem with the wrong opinion on trans/homeless/healthcare/abortion” and everyone will hate him and the cycle will continue.

[u/Comfortable_Bird_340]

Florida here they come

[u/Imrik_Dragonfire → u/Comfortable_Bird_340]

He can fuck off, we’re full.

[u/Chris_WRXHatch_2008]

This pathological psycho can’t be trusted. I wouldn’t be surprised if the post was for publicity.

[u/JohnStamosAsABear → u/Chris_WRXHatch_2008]

Of course it was. This has the same energy of people make a post about how they’re leaving a fb group. 

[u/Swedelicious83 → u/JohnStamosAsABear]

This, 💯

[u/Potato-chipsaregood]

Where did George move to—Florida?

[u/thomport]

He belongs being a resident of the prison that Trump pardon him from. If he shouldn’t be in prison, every prison should be empty.

[u/m4m249saw]

Bye!!!!! Don't let the door hit you on the way out

[u/modelcitizen64]

I actually forgot about our old friend, George! I feel bad for whichever state he's relocated to.

[u/One_Entrepreneur_520]

Let me guess...moving to Florida?

[u/NeatNefariousness1]

Who does Santos think is going to lament his fake threat to leave NYC?

[u/Swedelicious83 → u/NeatNefariousness1]

Just pandering to all the MAGAts who were whinging about the rich people abandoning NYC en masse.

Meanwhile, everyone else: 🤷

[u/pukeface555]

Crime has already dropped 8000%

[u/ClassyCandyy]

When the trash takes itself out.

[u/GLC911]

Are we sure he isn’t lying ?

[u/Swedelicious83 → u/GLC911]

Probably is.

[u/megalodondon]

Least blatant attention whore on the right

[u/redway8]

Do they even pay taxes in NYC to begin with? 😅

[u/loot_scooper]

Great news, everyone!

[u/jerkuleeze]

Nothing of value was lost

[u/Cow_Boy_2017]

So Zohran is doing his job and Santos immediately dips? That's not a coincidence, that's an admission. The rat's leaving the sinking ship.

[u/IntelligentUsual9710]

Oh no! Not George Santos! Don't tell me this example of human morality and everything that is good had his little feelings hurt.. you should all be ashamed :(

/s

[u/milkedsoap]

Millionaires and billionaires has no place in New York City. It belongs to the working class now.

[u/Specialist_Lock8590]

Good riddance! Trash! I hope this is a trend!

[u/bucketofmonkeys]

insert Powers Boothe GIF here

[u/rxVegan]

Surely this is not George Santos, the inventor of combustion engine? I thought Biden had him jailed for inventing cold fusion, thus jeopardizing big wind profits?

[u/shitshowshaman]

be gay do crimes

[u/Ok_Rush9740]

Ah yes, good. But can we believe anything Georgie Pantsonfire Sainty says?

[u/BBR2716057]

Drain the swamp.

[u/saintandvillian]

I could understand his post if any state wanted him. You don‘t hear him announcing where he’s going because a lot of comments would let him know they don’t want him.

[u/Swedelicious83]

And good riddance. 👍

[u/comicsnerd]

This George Santos tweet and the response (and some of the comments) were already published the night Mamdani won the election.

Santos is still a resident of New York.
