You mean, "yessing" a bully makes him happy??

Why do you think that's what happened instead of the more obvious interpretation?

Of course! The more obvious interpretation! You are so smart

Yes, I'm sure you are completely right about that. Absolutely correct. Couldn't be righter!

I think you replied to the wrong person, my comment was a question.

Yeah, don't do that. 3 day temp ban, come back nicer please.

Or he's just another lying politician who made a deal for personal gain. The simplest solution is often the correct one.

Your second sentence is correct. The first is odd. I don't think there's anything Trump has that Mamdani wants, honestly.

The simplest interpretation of the days events is that nothing particularly unpredictable happened.

How would you possibly know?

Dragonstaff@leminal.space · 1 pts · 264d

I know what the simplest explanation is.

Mr. Mamdani may turn traitor. He is admittedly a squish and electoralist. Pure socialists will disagree with him to some extent and that is fine. But he's not going to just take a bag of money from Trump and start fellating billionaires.
