Percentage of population has nothing to do with economic or political influence. Also, the space lasers.

Most North American cities have a significant catholic population. NYC is unique to have such a large jewish population. I thought Montreal has a large jewish population, but it is 2% compared to 13% for NYC. Miami close to 9% (many probably relocated from NYC).

Really, you think because the NY mayor is going to Israel that there is a space laser, and it’s controlled by Jews? I just thought I was making a dumb joke.

Jesus Christ… no I don’t think they control space lasers.

Sure, but that's all pretty irrelevant to a mayor's job. His job is to improve garbage collection and keep crime down and make sure the subway runs on time and that the school system functions. The whole system is f-ed up if a mayor is also supposed to be doing the job of an ambassador to a foreign nation.

New York City also has the most Muslims of any city in the states. Almost the same amount as Jewish… when does that come up as a big item?

Someone pointed out how MTG has been super MAGA for the last 5 years and really had no issues, but just one week of being the target of RW trolls and threats she had to hire extra security and then quit.

AOC: “MTG is carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes.”

Calgary is 8% South Asian. Farkas better hit Mumbai on his way through the Vatican, or else!

^^^ beaten to it.

AOC apparently trolled MTG for not retiring until her pension kicks in, and for making millions from her position on inside trader information.

What on earth is going on?! Look at how enamoured Trump is. He's head over heels for Zohran.

Jesus...that is terrifying. He is eyeing him up like a Thanksgiving Turkey..

That...seems unusual. Perhaps Chomsky got fed up with being un-####able and needed a little help?

Chomsky, while wealthy compared to an average person, doesn't have the net worth of people who normally associated Epstein. That's the weirdest part for me (not that Chomsky would be expected to have a higher moral standard), but because Epstein was known for pushing aside low rollers, which in his world, Chomsky would have been.
