catholic radicals prepare to waterboard new york mayor eric adams (2024, colorized)
Adams' POV where the two on each side holding him suddenly pin him down, and Shaprton slowly lowers a rag onto his face
Man this has fucking layers
The facist mayor of New York has now multi-classed in to theofascist mayor.
NYT, 1994: Sharpton Is Rebaptized As Baptist in Brooklyn
Politico, 2023: Eric Adams was once Al Sharpton’s bodyguard. Now they talk weekly.
Eric Adams was once Al Sharpton’s bodyguard.
Holy shit. I did not know that.
seeing his absolutely insane deranged behavior getting grilled on breakfast club, i can see why he felt like he needed that.
she's cooked him so hard that isntraelis are going to study her methods
This sounds like the first part of a Hunter: The Reckoning-esque intro cut-scene:
Gruff ominous voice-over: "On Good Friday, the Mayor, seeking ever increased power and control, performed a Sacred ritual at a locus of great suffering. Three days later, such evil was done that this world will never be the same..."
Regular voice: "Well, it was being done by Israel, had been since October, and doesn't have bearing to our story."
Gruff ominous voice: "But don't let that spoil the mood we're trying to build here..."
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I know we make fun of him a lot, but I never thought I'd say this, but I really wish Andrew Yang won the primary and became mayor.
What's Eric Adams' goal? Solve the housing crisis by making NYC just as joyless as the rest of the state and hope enough people move out to bring down rent?
Al Sharpton? The "God damn America" guy?
What's he doing paling around with Blueliani?
No, God DAMN America guy was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton's a civil rights guy turned TV talking head
Last I saw Sharpton he was on CNN doing anti-immigrant race baiting. He may have been cool at one point but right now the guy's a grifter through and through.
From what I understand he hasn't been "cool" since the 80's but I'd leave it to someone who actually knows more about it to get more specific than that.
exact opposite, Jeremiah White was thrown under the bus by Obama while Sharpton has been one of Obama's biggest defenders. He had a confrontation with Cornel West on CNN(?) when West called Obama a war criminal.
You mean Al Sharpton is exact opposite of Jeremiah Wright, or exact opposite of what I said?
I'm pretty sure what I said is a fair characterization but I could maybe word it better.
"Some people say Ayy-Eye-Rev-AI-Sharpton ain't the real deal and I'm just griftin'. I ain't griftin'! I'm just out here trying to make a livin' like we all gotta do. I don't mean to plug something but I need to mention the wisdom in I’m Just Out Here Trying to Make a Livin’ Like We All Gotta Do. I wrote it yesterday. It dropped today at Amazon..."
