De Blasio diaries: Mayor de Blasio’s SUV was caught on camera speeding through Queens and blowing through two stop signs Thursday — just two days after he announced a sweeping street-safety plan.

"The mayor — who was riding shotgun on the way back to City Hall from a pothole-filling photo op — was twice clocked going 15 mph over the speed limit by a WCBS/Channel 2 news crew."
The two-car caravan also ran past two stop signs without even tapping the brakes and changed highway lanes without signaling, the CBS video shows.

De Blasio’s wild ride came after his pledge to personally abide by his “Vision Zero” proposals, which aim to entirely eliminate traffic deaths in the city by 2024 with measures that include a 25 mph speed limit.

“We’ve put a very bold plan before you, and we want the public to know we’re holding ourselves to this standard — and we intend to achieve these goals,” he said at a Tuesday press conference. (ed bold for emphasis) READ MORE
Are the mayors actions in keeping with his campaign pledge of taking "dead aim at the tale of two cities"? You tell me.

The NY Post is having a lot of fun with the mayor.

Just a few days ago, de Blasio bailed one of his cronies out of jail, prompting this lengthy screed from the always outraged Sultan Knish.

My outrage gland, like the rest of me, is old and tired.

What really pisses me off when I go into NYC is all those friggin' new bicycle lanes that have effectively narrowed major arteries. The progressives want to transform NYC into Amsterdam, with all the boys and girls in their grey flannel suits peddling their way to work.

Don't think it's gonna happen in this Old Dawg's lifetime.

When you're King, you can do anything, man.

Fen's law.

He's also demanding that a gazillion affordable apartments get built.

And he's killing the successful charter school program.

He's playing knock-out king to the city.

A special set of rules for the Nomenklatura just like in his old buddy Castros' Cuba--and EVERY OTHER left-wing dominated country in the history of the world.

I think Al Roker got it right when he said "prediction: one term."

Even in glorious people's democratic republic of New York City, there's only so much jackassery the people will tolerate.

The freed slaves said, "De bottom rail's on de top an' we's gwine to keep it dere".

Gotham's Sandinazi mayor doesn't see it that way.

So he's taking dead aim at one of the cities, and plans to run it over, piecemeal.

Oka, any dipshit that makes promises about ENTIRELY eliminating traffic deaths is far too dishonest and/or stupid to be allowed to play with the adult scissors. NYC is going to get what it deserves for electing him.

They voted for Obama twice, didn't they?

At least Bloomberg rode the subway.

You mean when he wasn't riding in his limo (with the window ac unit held in place, LOL) or his private helicopter.

Pick AND. Full Stop.

Don't listen to what leftists say, watch what they do. Dictators rarely follow the rules.

De leftist ass is planning on closing successful charter schools? Figures. My nephew is about to graduate from a charter school. Peak to peak is rated one of the top schools in the nation. My nephew used to attend a government public school where he was bullied. Now... He is one of 8 to be awarded a national merit scholarship.
What do asshole leftwing profs want? They want to destroy educational opportunities for our kids at the alter of the teachers union and crap non-competitive government schools.

TV News sucks. Our cameras caught him on tape, but listen to this old hag deliver a set-up we already talked about.

Trooper York said...

De Blasio is your typical left wing douchenozzle. He thinks the law is for other people not for him.

The only encouraging thing is that the news media is catching him out. The discouraging thing is that this is going to become the "new normal" and even more outrageous stuff will be shrugged off.

Hey, go back through my posts on Bloomberg--I mocked the guy relentlessly.

But when he left office it turned out he personally paid for his limo and helicopter and all that stuff. He never tried to bill the city for any perks he or his staff got, he just paid for them. Granted he is a billionaire, but he did do that.

I doubt we will see the same from the Socialist.
