When I was living in New York I couldnât figure out all the hate on DeBlasio. Then I saw a photo of his wife.
Yeeeeeeup. And he just endorsed Sanders and the cop union kapos can fuck the fuck off. Oh yeah. NYC is soooooo âliberal.â For your consideration, Bloomberg. Yay <kazoo noise> .

Saudi officials have called for the arrest of a female rapper who released a music video for her song Mecca Girl that praises women from the holy city as âpowerful and beautifulâ. âOur respect to other girls but the Mecca girl is sugar candy,â she sings in the video while men and women dance in a cafĂ©.
Social media users reacted angrily, calling the authorities âhypocriticalâ. One popular tweet read, "Itâs the only rap song that doesnât contain a single obscenity, insult, pornographic scene, nudity, hashish or smoking and the rapper is even wearing the hijab.

Mr Gui first made headlines in 2015 when he vanished from Thailand and resurfaced in China.
After his disappearance, there were allegations that he had been abducted by Chinese agents. Chinese officials, however, say Mr Gui and the four other men all went to China voluntarily.
The bookseller ultimately confessed to being involved in a fatal traffic accident more than a decade earlier - a confession supporters say was forced.
He served two years in prison but he was arrested months after his release while he was travelling to the Chinese capital of Beijing with two Swedish diplomats.
He was one of five owners of a small bookstore in Hong Kong who went missing in 2015. It later emerged that they had been taken to China. Four were later freed, but Mr Gui remained in Chinese detention.
