Mamdani's Real Problem? He's Not Corrupt
Bipartisan powerbrokers love fucking around, fear finding out under Mamdani
Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani recently won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary — defeating Dried Mucus Andrew Cuomo — and all the worst people are upset about it.
The fascists have been throwing a tantrum, shrilly insisting that the pro-Palestinian, Muslim-American candidate is a “jihadist” and “terrorist sympathizer.” Trump has made credible threats to arrest and deport him, eliciting a defense from Corporate Democrats so tepid that it makes Willy Wonka’s "no. stop. don’t.” seem overwrought.
This wing of the Democratic party is extremely alarmed by Mamdani’s victory — many have refused to endorse him while some have made urgent calls for leadership to consolidate official opposition to him. Democratic donors and New York powerbrokers (who overwhelmingly supported Andrew Cuomo) are so panic-stricken that they no longer care which candidate wins, just as long as Mamdani is defeated.
This frothing overreaction from the American Left has been excused and justified by Corporate Democrats — as well as liberal magazines and legacy news outlets — using the tired narrative that Mamdani is a “left-wing daydream” with an unrealistic and “damaging” agenda.
They’ve also been publishing hit pieces and making baseless accusations of antisemitism, sometimes echoing the cartoonishly Islamophobic language of the far-Right when doing so. The New York Times even went so far as to suggest Mamdani once tried to manipulate affirmative action for his own personal gain.
These smears are all too familiar to those of us who remember the Democratic assault on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and David Hogg, but they’re also breathtakingly transparent due to what this coverage doesn’t say.
Articles about the mayoral race — which used to be fairly critical of Ripped Condom Andrew Cuomo — have become less and less honest about Mamdani’s challengers. Instead of referring to Andrew as New York’s disgraced former governor, they’ve started glossing over and completely ignoring his extensive history of scandal and corruption.
This is especially true when it comes to Andrew’s connections to the global far-Right, like how he joined the “legal dream team” defending Dead Tooth Benjamin Netanyahu against charges of war crimes in Palestine.
Omitting such critical information undermines regular New Yorkers while serving to benefit the highly-influential, bipartisan ghouls hellbent on defeating Mamdani. Worse still, it obscures the fact that he’s being attacked for the same reason that goons like Andrew are readily embraced and promoted — powerbrokers and their financial benefactors are terrified of being held accountable for their crimes and transgressions, so they consider corruption to be a feature, not a bug.
Madman Web
Andrew Cuomo — who has been praised as a “pragmatist” and “a strong and proven leader” and “the best choice for mayor” by Corporate Democrats — is a corrupt nepo baby with a long record of shady dealings and criminal ties.
Andrew’s first law firm helped Trump cozy up to his then-governor father and his administration, including the officials who looked the other way when Trump shortchanged the City by $2.8 million worth of hotel property taxes in 1987. Later, as HUD Secretary, Andrew oversaw the unregulated expansion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after legalizing kickbacks to mortgage brokers who tricked people into taking on the most predatory home loans available. One of the ghouls who benefited from this was Wet Sock Todd Howe, the mortgage banker lobbyist and close confidant of Andrew who plead guilty to eight felonies in 2016.
And this just barely scratches the surface — Knockoff Dior Bag Andrew Cuomo was also involved in ten scandals from 2013 to 2021, only two of which drove him to finally resign in disgrace1.
His extensive history of corruption and criminal ties makes Andrew right at home among the “legal dream team” defending Bibi against the war crimes charges leveled by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The ICC hopes to bring Bibi to justice for his crimes against humanity — also known as genocide in Palestine — the horrors of which have been well-documented by international humanitarians, Amnesty International, and award-winning journalists. This attempt to hold Bibi accountable hasn’t received much press in the US for several reasons, including the fact that the Trump administration has been actively waging war against the ICC since 2020 — and it’s only gotten worse2.
Meanwhile, the “legal dream team” that has jumped to Bibi’s defense enjoys a staggering amount of criminals ties that go all the way back to the Iran-Contra Scandal. Just look at some of these goons:
Wet Fart Alan Dershowitz, who defended Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Donald Trump. He’s argued that illegal quid pro quo arrangements don’t count when Presidents do them to get re-elected, and he was accused of participating in Epstein’s sex trafficking by two of Epstein’s victims. Alan has since reached settlements with both women, one of whom went on to tell reporters that she "may have made a mistake" regarding Alan’s involvement in Epstein’s sex crimes, although she’s actively denied his assertion that he’s been fully exonerated. The other Epstein victim recanted part of her allegations against Alan, saying she wanted to avoid "pain for [her] family."
Rejected Labyrinth Muppet Bill Barr, who became known as the “Cover-up General” for his role in obstructing the Iran-Contra investigation and preventing an independent investigation into the Iraqgate scandal (which was regarding the Reagan administration illegally arming Iraq). More recently, he used his role as Trump’s Attorney General to obscure the findings in the Mueller Report in order to spin the results in Trump’s favor.
Curdled Milk Louis Freeh, the former FBI Director who was hired by Russian mob associate Vasiliy Anisimov to provide legal representation for Prevezon, a real estate firm allegedly involved in a scheme using Manhattan properties to launder money stolen from the Russian treasury. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner may have participated in this scheme, but there’s no way to know because USA v. Prevezon was abruptly settled out of court three days before it was scheduled to go to trial3.
C-list Scooby Doo Villain Michael Mukasey, the Attorney General under both Reagan and Bush the Second who fought against Federal anti-bribery laws and has repeatedly gone to bat for Trump when he was under investigation. He also represented Prevezon, and — when Trump fired the US attorney who was handling the USA v. Prevezon case — his son Marc was on Trump’s short list to replace her.
Just an absolute clown car of corruption.
But none of that’s a problem for the ghouls who wanted Andrew Cuomo to defeat Zohran Mamdani!
Turds of a Feather
Andrew’s 2025 mayoral campaign received an obscene amount of money from a variety of donors, the biggest one being Used Tampon Michael Bloomberg. This makes sense, as Michael also has a history of sexually harassing female employees, was at the center of a scandal involving kickbacks, and helped Trump avoid paying taxes on a New York property (only this one was built with tax-payer money!).
Michael didn’t just open his wallet — he enthusiastically endorsed Andrew along with tons of other Corporate Democrats, even though over a third of them publicly condemned Andrew in 2021. Even Jeffrey Epstein Associate Bill Clinton dragged himself out of the crypt to endorse his corrupt former HUD secretary in the days leading up the June primary.
Many of these Corporate Democrats have also been actively working against Mamdani, with liberal magazines and news outlets joining in the fun — like when the New York Times released a recent article heavily implying that Mamdani lied about his race on a college application in order to game the institute’s affirmative action program.
Apparently the Times didn’t mind that this piece relied on hacked materials from “Cremieux Receuil” — real name Jordan Lasker — a far-Right influencer who loves promoting Nazi shit about intelligence being linked to race. Maybe this shouldn’t be surprising, since one of the article’s authors regularly promotes debunked nonsense about trans healthcare.
Of course, none of this would bother the billionaire Trump donors who poured money into Andrew’s campaign, since many of them also enjoy spreading lies and melodramatic warnings about Mamdani.
In fact, the only thing that made any of Andrew’s backers reconsider their support for him was the fact that Mamdani was able to beat him.
Now they’re divided and scrambling, with some reconsidering the viability of Robocop Wannabe Eric Adams — yet another goon who’s faced multiple investigations and has ties to Russian oligarchs in addition to currently being under Trump's thumb.
But these ghouls don’t look at any of this and see a problem.
Instead, Eric and Andrew’s scandals and criminal ties are considered to be huge pluses. Their shady dealings are evidence that these candidates belong to the international network of corruption that has not only enriched chucklefucks like Trump and Michael Bloomberg and Bill Clinton — it has protected them from consequences like jail time.
The Powerbroker Has No Clothes
The rabid opposition to Zohran Mamdani from Corporate Democrats — as well as legacy news outlets, liberal magazines, and other influential members of the American Left — has been excused and justified by pushing the narrative that he’s an inexperienced whacko who’s made tantalizing promises no one could possibly keep while spouting extremist, antisemitic rhetoric.
This is absurd on its face. While it’s entirely possible that Mamdani will be a crappy New York City Mayor, that’s not why he’s been enduring well-funded, coordinated attacks for months.
Mamdani is an outsider who hasn’t been compromised by scandals or criminal connections, meaning his values are not aligned with those that have. It also makes him much more difficult to manipulate than Urinal Pube Andrew Cuomo or Kidney Stone Eric Abrams.
This is the real reason bipartisan powerbrokers have been pouring money into crooked candidates and editorial smears against Mamdani — without elected officials who are entrenched in the same international networks of corruption that they are, these ghouls would lose the political sway that they’ve become accustomed to, including unparalleled immunity from prosecution.
If that were to happen, Bibi and Andrew might face real consequences instead of being rallied behind and defended. Then any high-level criminal could be next — and absolutely nothing scares them more. The possible domino effect of Mayor Mamdani leaves these goons feeling impotent, naked, and afraid.
I say, make ‘em strip.

Even these scandals have been downplayed recently, with many articles using gentle, generic language to soften what Andrew actually did. Like reducing the reason for his 2021 resignation to “sexual harassment allegations” — this phrasing implies that a handful of women made accusations on social media, when in reality a five-month investigation by the New York Attorney General “concluded that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and in doing so violated federal and state law." This report was released while Andrew was already under Federal investigation for covering up thousands of nursing home deaths due to the strong likelihood that his own policies caused them in the first place. Even then, it was only under threat of impeachment that Andrew finally, reluctantly resigned. And in case you think he may have learned from these mistakes, please be assured that he’s completely unrepentant.
Last month, Marco Rubio imposed sanctions against four ICC judges, including the ones who authorized the arrest warrants for Bibi. This built on Trump’s Executive Order from February, which both imposed sanctions on the ICC’s then-chief prosecutor Karim Khan and threatened anyone who provided Khan with “financial, material, or technological support” with ridiculous penalties, up-to-and-including prison time.
Microsoft reacted by canceling Khan’s email and his UK banks froze his accounts. Meanwhile, Bibi thanked Trump and Marco Rubio by name on Twitter.
It’s worth noting that Prevezon is owned by Russian-Israeli citizen Denis Katsyv, who was indicted for money-laundering in Israel in the ‘00s. He reached a settlement with Israeli authorities that was very similar to the one Prevezon reached with Trump’s DOJ in 2017.
