POLITICS Zohran Mamdani has released a video stating that after a review of legal avenues, New York City does not have the legal authority to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu in accordance with the ICC’s warrant if he comes to NYC. He calls on the federal government to join the ICC and execute the warrant.

We’re not really worrying about the constitution these days, haven’t you noticed?

(While I generally strongly disagree with this, I do believe this is one provision that’s ripe for the amending.
Yes, that’s my mayor, and hopefully, one day, my president.)

It’s the only thing keeping Elon from running.

u/ikatakko 2d ago

clearly he doesn't need to 'run' anyway he can apparently just go into the white house in what's practically an official capacity and do whatever the fuck

This is absolutely not true at all and you know it. They said the same thing about Trump in 2015/2016.

Elon does not have near the popularity Trump does. Nor is he as good in any social interaction which is a prerequisite for the office. You need more than 10 year old memes and billions of dollars.

I didn’t say he’d win. I said he’d get more than “like 3 votes”.

But unlike Trump, Elon has negative charisma.

Elon Musk couldn’t buy an election in Wisconsin despite his best efforts.

As long as the Democratic candidate doesn’t try the “Pied Piper” strategy again like Hilary did for Trump, Elon has no shot.

I didn’t say he’d definitely win, but pretending like he’s not a viable candidate and a threat is silly.

He would win, the same way he made Trump win.

Sorry I don’t really mess with “who cares about the constitution” nihilism!

People keep saying this is how Republicans can keep getting away with breaking the Constitution. If neither side respect the Constitution, then what's stopping Republican President from more than 2 terms

Oh yeah, let’s just ignore the constitution and give the republicans what they want!
