"weigh"
Democrats always "consider" action, or "weigh" it. They never actually take it. They just think sternly about it. Until she actually does remove him, she's fucking useless.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is such an obvious open and shut case. Nearly everyone knows he's guilty, nearly everyone has lost faith in his ability to run the city, and the ultimate Boogeyman is very publicly using him to corrupt the state's government.
Centrists will take an issue with 70% support and fret about taking any action because it's not 100%. They only ever act when the public has already moved past the issue and they're codifying the new status quo.
It's because we have a two-party system: assholes and pussies.
So, what you're saying is we need a party of dicks fuck both the pussies and the assholes, before the pussies are covered in shit?

Where are the dicks in the US.
🎵 We're the dicks in America (whoa)
We're the dicks in America (whoa)
Everybody fucked, now it's time to find out 🎵
Hochul right now:
How long until hochul is doing he's learned his lesson?
I give it a week after she decides not to remove him.
Fair. Either that or in her announcement nothing is happening/changing
BeHoLD tHE pOWeR oF a TuT tUT!
True, but this looks like it may be different. Based on the article, it seems less like she's deciding whether to do it than trying to figure out how. It has never been done before and there are multiple steps but the process is only loosely defined.
Edit: Not different.
Not a New Yorker but id assume the best way would be to have a couple state troopers or equivalent go in and ceremonially remove him from office and then either appoint an interim mayor or have the someone lower in the city bureaucracy fill it, then simply run a special election as soon as physically possible. If the feds IE Trump throw a fit tell em to fuck off as they have no authority over the situation.
If Adams resists well shit happens and human lives are cheap whats one man to the integrity of our institutions.
It would be far from the first black man shot by cops in NYS.
Turns out that "slams", "claps back", and "weighs" all mean the same thing in headlines; "does nothing".
We are in unprecedented times. I hope the governor finds the political will to do it.
Please, so the resignations weren't in vain.
He should have been removed week one.
What the fuck are you waiting for?Christmas?
Remember: Hochul is one of those Reich Wing dems, and a product of voot bloo no matter hoo.
She stole 675 million from the indigenous peeps, and gave it to Terry Pegula, to build a stadium, on top of even more tax dollars...
Pegula is a fossil fuel billionaire oligarch. She sides with him, not us.
He hasn’t been found guilty yet. He sure as heck looks guilty but there is not yet a judgement saying so. I agree the governor needs to be careful removing a mayor because it looks bad. Is that really a precedent we want.
That assumes, of course that there’s no interference from a corrupt official to get the charges dropped. That interference and Those court members resigning are what makes this different
Weighs? Waits?
and pam bondi is pressuring NY to drop charges against him.
