Lmfao.

Clowns

🤡 calling his predecessor a 🤡

What…? I thought we live in a great safe city

Erik Adams needs to own the crap he’s created. He’s a bigger turd than any other mayor.

Gee. If only he had the power and the right position in the city government to DO something about it!

Source?

Someone has been smoking pot

DeBlahsio I reckoned = worst mayor in my NYC life. I didn’t vote for Adams and yes he is piss poor. Voters leaned into his crime fighting campaign.

Pathetic that Adams and Sliwa were on the ballot. This is the best we have? Otoh look at the House speaker charades today.

I guess politics is no different from high school drama? Omg that bitch Brenda use pads instead of tampons. We should totally not talk to her anymore.

It certainly takes one to know one

Eric Adams lies a lot.

He must lurk on this sub often

This post is misleading OP. Look I get that there's visceral dislike for Adams on this subreddit, but at least make an accurate post.

Adams is calling out petty critics from the DeBlasio administration not DeBlasio himself. The Mayor and former Mayor actually get along quite well.

While I'm not jumping up and down for Adams, can anyone cite real improvements or accomplishments by Bill deB? Painting BLM stripes outside of Trump Tower or revoking the Trump organizations' operating permit for hockey rinks was fun I suppose, but it was cheap theater.

What did DeB actually do for average New Yorkers?

*Note bike lanes don't help those of us in the outer boroughs, the elder, etc. . So...let's hear it. What got better?

The voters that elected him for a second term deserve all the blame.

No, I don't think the title is misleading. From the rest of the NYT article you linked (not just the headline/subheadline):

"In an unprompted, seven-minute tirade, Mr. Adams on Wednesday lashed out at the former mayor, Bill de Blasio, accusing him of leaving New York City in disarray, and insisting that Mr. de Blasio’s former top aides had no right to publicly criticize the way Mr. Adams is running the city.

“I am so tired of the previous administration and their antics,” Mr. Adams said at the end of what had been a routine news conference about expanding the city’s fleet of electric vehicles.

Mr. Adams, a moderate Democrat who is entering his second year in office, said he had recently called Mr. de Blasio to complain about the attacks."

Further down:

"And then Mr. Adams returned the favor. He lit into Mr. de Blasio’s record as mayor and argued that criticism from former city officials — about Mr. Adams’s handling of the pandemic, city schools and violence at Rikers — was extremely unusual and unhelpful, especially when they had “left the house in total disarray.”

It was a stunning broadside from Mr. Adams against Mr. de Blasio and his allies and one of the most fiery scuffles between Democrats in New York since Mr. de Blasio accused Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of acting vindictively toward the city in 2015."

But see my comment below that cites what he says in the linked NYT article

I don’t think you’ll find any deblasio Stans here.

Needless to say, he ended stop and frisk. So that’s cool

What he meant to say was "I am an never was qualified to do this job an now that it's becoming apparent to everyone how incompetent I am. Ill blame the last guy"

This is basically the Spider-Man meme where they point at one another

The de Blasio administration was a financial disaster. How does the city budget jump by $30B to provide worse services. Adams is equally incompetent but doesn’t have a surging economy to hide behind. If property taxes from offices go down the drain, we are in for some dramatic cuts. I have no doubts Adams will be thrown under the bus for a mess mostly created by the past administration.

I wasn't a fan and blamed Bloomberg for stop n frisk but my 85 year old mom never got hassled; my wife didn't; I didn't; my high school kids didn't'; my grade school kids didn't.

The targets were black and brown men between ages 15-45.

60% of the population are black and brown; half of them are male (30%) probably half are over 45 or under 15. (155) So he didn't something beneficial for 15% or so the population. Fine.

I said "Average New Yorkers". Perhaps I should rephrase to "a majority of New Yorkers".

Typical, don't take responsibility for your own actions. Blame someone else for your fuk ups

Universal pre-K

Eric Adams has had a year in office and he's still shit talking the last guy? The time has long passed where he could get away with that. If the city is in disarray now, it's because Adams made it that way.

Nice try. Once again false and inaccurate about the direct relationship between the two mayors with this selective framing. Your reply focused on the part about the aides and the broader administration, not the direct relationship between the two mayors, which is what the title of this post is inferring. If you updated it to "deBlasio administration aides" per the article, then yes, it would be accurate. This is a key problem with Adams's critics with this selective framing that's not helpful and quite problematic in many ways.

"Mr. de Blasio said in a statement on Wednesday night that he had spoken to Mr. Adams earlier in the day and that he understood how difficult it was to govern the city and wanted him to succeed.“I sympathize with his frustration with certain critics but want to emphasize this: No one speaks for me but me,” Mr. de Blasio said."

"Mr. Adams said that Mr. de Blasio had been “extremely helpful” and that his frustration was directed at others from his administration who wanted to see Mr. Adams fail."

Stop N Frisk was Giuliani’s baby—all part of “Broken Windows” policing he advocated.

Bloomberg kept status quo at first, knowing you can’t rescind what was two terms of de facto policy. Then he was forced to deal with it as the lawsuits over overzealous policing began to pile up.

But nice try.

Beattlejuice?

They teach that in the academy.

Ok, Giulani stated stop and frisk. DEBLASIO STILL SUCKED.

I'm 53 years old. I know no one with kids that young. It didn't help me, my siblings, my neighbors, my relatives, my fiends, my parents.

Perhaps that helped a small group of New Yorkers but not a cross section of economic and demographic categories.

I repeat the question:

What did he do for average New Yorkers?

No, you are asking what he did for you personally—the answer to that question is, of course, "no one cares".

You're right in that he did nothing for me, but for now, let's forget me. Please answer the question- what did he do for average New Yorkers?
