The crimes in question here were in Brazil and part of a plea deal. The only shit he admits is the shit he did down there, like the drag pics and now this.

So now we have an admitted felon in Congress?

Only the ones that are taking a hit to their own pockets, like the other NY GOP House members elected last year. Donors lost trust in these clowns collectively.

No need to tip the staff since they are profiting off of sales.

It’s not just a matter of increasing service. It’s also a matter of keeping the trains and stations clean and increasing safety and accessibility. And in this post-pandemic world many people will continue wfh or hybrid schedules reducing the need to take daily public transit

He’s running for 2024. Filed the paperwork.

I mean trump is polling ahead of every other Republican for president lmaooo. So it's a obvious lie. Republicans are still obsessed with him and he lives rent free in their heads.

Rule 2 - Questions go in r/AskNYC

(a). Questions go in r/AskNYC, the Monthly Discussion Thread or on r/nyc's Discord. This includes "Does Anybody Else" (DAE)-type questions

You mean one of the most hated ex presidents whos currently running for office again and has a habit of inspiring bigots to be hateful? And you can't see why people would keep an eye on his career?

Refunds aren’t a thing

Sounds very scammy

Misleading title…he didn’t publicly admit to anything. News outlet obtained legal docs of the settlement in Brazil. Would love to see him admit one thing he did wrong..

I'm only around for 4 days but if me and my wife take multiple train journeys and get the 50% refund at the airport then I think it should work out

I only use my phone when I don't have any money on my metrocard ands am in too much of a rush to fill it up. You get a discount with the metrocard you don't get with the phone. I assume you did $40 (the max) 4 times? Will you be around enough to use it?

Not sure about the airport thing though.

Stealing and fraud is okay if you apologize after? Lol such a right wing sentiment

Like who

No it would take him 40 years to make millions.

Statute of limitations. Also I didn't read that carefully but I think it took place in Brazil.

That's not what it says. That's not even close to what it says. It says that 3 percent of hate crimes against jews are committed by white people in NYC. So when this sort of thing happens, trying to paint it as white trump supporters is statistically unlikely.

Almost 70 percent are initiated by black people. That's a real actual problem. Hence why everyone knew how this case would go. It was the statistically likely option.

No one is using anyone. But let's not claim someone is a right wing racist for pointing out the obvious facts here. For complaining about racism. (My wife and kids enjoy talking about race, actually. Especially this sort of thing, as they've been victimized by black racism. But thanks for the advice without knowing anything)

But yeah, unfortunately qualifications are needed when someone tries to paint you as a right wing racist, who doesn't like black people, LOL. Come with that silly shit and I'll point out the obvious. Perhaps you misunderstood me? I was pointing out that the reason I'm so anti racist....is because I have to be for my family's sake . I didn't think it would be difficult, especially for someone like you, to understand.

Youre personal experience is your experience. No one else's. And your promises dont mean much, especially in light of the accusations presented.

I'm standing against racism by calling it out. Not sure what y'all are doing.

At 2.5 billion per mile, SAS perhaps is one of the worst investments in the infrastructure and by far the most expensive subway line in the world. Why would anyone spend so much in a borough that already has like 20 other subway lines is a mystery. It obviously made the lives of some people more convenient but at this cost I doubt that this convenience is worth it. There are so many other transit projects which would make way more difference to people's lives. SAS is a total waste, in my opinion. That money could have been spent in other boroughs of NYC. If everyone hates SI so much, it could have been Queens.

At 17, a child doesn't know yet the difference between right and wrong yet? 🙄

BLM is such a joke. If anything it made people more racist by making them constantly think about it. To get rid of a racist society we need to look at people beyond their race. BLM itself is a corrupt organization just out for money and doesn’t actually help POC. I’m a POC myself btw. I thought the george floyd protests were dumb at the time and still do -they didn’t solve anything at a systemic level and were hypocritical at the time when we were supposed to stay home during the pandemic

To be fair their argument was plausible. Lots of cops are trump voters / racists / law breakers. So I can see how anybody who has lived in this city or has family who are cops would come to that conclusion.

damn people are cooking your ass lmao

…Your source is saying that minorities can in fact be racist. This isn’t a new conversation or shocking, nor does it dispute what anyone was discussing. Him being black doesn’t remove the fact that most overt racists tend to gravitate towards a certain worldview that reflects in their politics.

Also, I’m gonna say this with the best of intentions, dont bring your kids into a conversation about race. As a biracial person, I’m telling you that if I found out my white parent was using me and my other parent to act as an authority on discussions of race it would make me uncomfortable. It’s weird and almost as bad as “I have a black friend.” I promise you. You can join into these conversations if you’re sensitive, capable of introspection, and willing to listen/learn, you don’t need to add the qualifier of your children.

An honest conversation I would have about people being violent, destructive, and racist is how to implement positive change. I don't personally believe black people are the most concerning group in NYC or the US. Whether they are or are not I'd push to improve education, anti-racist policies, and encourage diversity and inclusion. These would benefit any person, group, or community.
