- Loud heavy long sigh. This has it all: Bashing his own successful policy Making up numbers about fare evasion Complaining that the MTA isn’t doing something it’s currently doing. This tedious asshole nearly became mayor. x.com/77wabcradio/...

- Trump murdered an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist. Alex Pretti saved lives for a living. Trump repaid this American citizen with TEN BULLETS and is now lying about it. Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly.
