New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signs an executive order repealing bedtime for the duration of the Knicks finals run so the city’s children can stay up late and watch.
Kinda miss when political news had some unifying, good-natured fun sprinkled in amidst the heavier stuff.
New Yorkers living their best life with a likeable young mayor who knows ball.
These *are* the kinds of easy political layups we all like. A mayor / governor / whatever endorsing the local sports team is a classic
It’s honestly not a layup in the world we live in. Imagine a lot of the people who hate mamdani most trying to interact with kids so effortlessly and joyfully.
Everyone in Staten Island putting their kids to bed early just to spite this dude.
Then those kids grow up hating Mamdami because they got put to bed too early, and the trauma cycle continues.
Until they go to college and learn that their parents were lying the whole time
Assuming they don’t go to Liberty University or Baylor or BYU or Incarnate Word or Oral Roberts or GCU or Holy Cross or…
Or if they can even afford college with the grift that currently is going on.
I can already hear WFANs hotline getting bombarded with old steam island heads “ay it’s Tony and I just wanna say I’m TIYAD of dese damn politics in sports.”
Hey Mike, First time, long time.
Yeah, Mike, huge Knicks fan. Haven’t watched a game since the 90s
lol
Tucker Carlson: “Mayor Zohran Hussein Mamdani is encouraging your children to stay up late at night watching sweaty, tattooed thugs fight over a ball. This is what they want. This is the goal now.”
And I’m supposed to be attracted to this?
What are we doing? What’s going on?
That’s the RULE now, that’s the GOAL
Really?!
Devout
Lets talk about the Knicks. K - N - I - C - K - S… HUH, the K is silent. But who silenced it? And why?
This will be on Fox News with this caption tonight.
Effortlessly? He didn’t once bring up Biden and the auto pen while coloring with children. Is it because he’s a communist?!
He also didn’t acknowledge the kid having an existential crisis about not knowing her birth year
I DON’T KNOW WHEN I WAS BORN
“How do you feel?”
BLESSSSSSSSSED
A real politician that supported the Knicks would have questioned Wemby’s work visa.
/s
The mayor of Cincinnati had a pretty cringey video in advance of the Bengals making the Super Bowl a few years ago. Overall decent mayor, but it’s not always a layup (even if it really should be)
Even nba players miss layups sometimes
Mamdani Times article on his arsenal fandom was removed from the gunners sub. Mods rather not deal with the pile on.
Did anyone see what Texas Governor Greg Abbot put out in support of the Spurs? It’s like republicans can’t even just take the easy wins, they have to be as embarrassing as possible at everything.
no but it makes sense he’d be garbage he can’t even be loyal to his own city too. He’s pure Dallas from the looks of it so of course the second the Spurs are winning on his watch he jumps aboard
I don’t think Greg Abbott does much jumping these days.
What did he do?
Obviously having good PR doesn’t mean you’d make a good governor or mayor. But if you can’t even make easy layups like this, you are completely out of touch with the people.
An AI pic of him dunking on Hochul. He’s pathetic. Every opportunity he’s given for a low effort jab he’ll take.
Did he add his wheelchair
Yes it’s a flying wheelchair (not kidding)
I mean fuck those fascist fucks etc etc but the pic is lowkey hilarious
Putting trumps stupid assface in ruins it (and really underscores that Abbot is a desperate simp). I don’t mind it otherwise because a) it’s funny and b) nobody I care about would ever prefer Texas to NYC
He made a horrible looking AI slop image of him dunking on the NY Governor Kathy Hochul with Donald Trump sitting courtside laughing at her for no reason (Trump being a NY resident and known Knicks fan btw)
There’s an old Italian line: “stop combing your hair, you’re not in this picture” that is exactly this situation.
Fuck him and I hope every spurs fan feels the same
Former NYC mayor and failed presidential candidate Bill de Blasio outed himself as a Boston Red Sox fan lol. Idk how that even happened. Choices were very much bottom of barrel.
Tim Walz declared “wolves back day” and the first letter of each part of the proclamation spelled out “BRING YA ASS”.
PR is so easy if you have even a shred of levity in your body.
Whimsy? In this economy?
4 out of 5 americans only have enough money for doom and gloom
Seriously. It’s crazy how easy it is, and yet some people are determined to remain reviled. Like you have multiple billions of dollars, you can’t even pay for a couple kids cancer treatment for some easy press? The best they can do pretend to plant some trees.
It’s because at their core they are deeply unhappy people who are only interested in money, power, and attention.
so much of the political divide is the difference between people who have struggled and want to see that struggle made easier for everyone else, and people who have struggled and are offended by the idea that anyone would make it without struggling the way that they did.
Don’t forget all of people who were born on third and think they hit a triple.
Hank Hill voice
I miss voting for that man
It’s crazy the amount of shit he got done for New Yorkers in less than 6 months. Meanwhile previous mayors were just cashing cheques and shilling for parties
New Yorkers should be grateful to Eric Adams. Not every mayor has the integrity to rugpull their constituents via a crypto coin right after they exit office
[removed]
That may be how it plays out, but you can’t deny this is fun and cute.
Oh a hundred percent, I’m 100% in support of cute kids and nice moments like this. I additionally want to see the crushing defeat of all new york sports teams.
Man has his work cut out for him if the Knicks win.
Gets carried away and accidentally participates burning the garden to the ground.
If that actually happened, then everybody would get what they wanted…Mamdani and New York would be able to celebrate the Knicks winning, and Fox News would have endless footage of “riots in New York” to run.
Finally the potholes around me were taken care of for the first time in a while :)
Oh wow now the government is getting involved with kids bedtimes?!? Where do they draw the line, no more big government!? r/conservative
Holy fuck
Nah, he was a doctor.
Holy shit this is peak lmao
Alonzo Mourning shaking then nodding his head dejectedly dot gif
They’re on an island on that one…
Got em 😂
DAMN
Oof that’s nasty.
Ain’t that the truth lmao, get em
lol really mods??
Side bar this cowards
Lmao
Fuckin’ John Stewart-esque line right there.
TELL EM
“Thats the rule. That’s the goal now.” - Tucker Carlson
“What are we doing? What’s going on??”
I’m constantly saying this nowadays 😅
Confused face of someone who farted but doesn’t recognize his own scent
My favorite SNL bit now lol. Maine, the e is silent, but who silenced it and why???
I loved the bit where he complained about the Michael Jackson movie leaving out the part where he’s white
“they took the L and gave it to the GBTQ”
if the 5 bots that post there could actually read they’d be hopping mad
Everybody else just posts “black person commits crime” posts. R/conservativeracism
Either black person commits crime, immigrant commits crime, or pretty white girl hurt by non white person, o “literal nazi” graham platner.
They are currently crying about graham platners tattoo that he removed, while ignoring the current secretary of defense currently has the same type of tattoo right now.
They are crying about him texting women while the president raped women and children. Like can we be for fucking real
It’s really just two main bots. And they’re very, very easy to identify in terms of the agenda being pushed.
I’m a Jewish guy who was banned from the main Jewish Politics subreddit for saying I didn’t think Mamdani was anti-semitic. The same two bots who dominate on /r/conservative are also very active on that subreddit too.

Ghislaine Maxwell was a supermod in-charge of hundreds of subreddits(also first reddit account to hit 1m karma), including all the main political ones and that account(which was likely botted) was busy posting(and banning people) up until the day she got arrested and her homes raided.
Same thing happened with r/politics back in 2015 when it was strongly pro-Bernie and all those mods got purged one day and replaced with standard pro-corpo Hillary mods. Ghislaine Maxwell was one of the leading mods that remained, and people speculate she was involved in the anti-Bernie purges.
No doubt, the well-connected Maxwell clique on reddit has even tighter control over the conservative part of reddit, pushing their pro-Epstein agenda. They acknowledged they lost the recent culture war recently, and are reallocating their billion-dollar annual resources to focus on “re-educating their children” instead of just weaponizing the “anti-Semitism” label since the strongest advocates for peace today are increasingly many younger ideologically-aware Jews who just shrug off that fake weaponized labelling. Hold strong there buddy!
Next thing you know he’ll pull out the tan suit!
This is exactly the kind of socialist government overreach they warned us about. First everyone has to have abortions and now everyone has to stay up til 4am? The founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
The street lights are on. Do you know where your kids are?
Heartbreaking: The worst best person you know just made an great point evil gesture (making children watch the knicks)
ngl i laughed
it genuinely feels weird adjusting our reality where the knicks are a good team.
happy for yall
Try being a fan for the past 30+ years…
no
Depending on how the series goes, Mamdani gave NYC children the opportunity to watch Wemby on his first step to becoming the GOAT.
Tbf this is the first step either way. It’s not like if the Knicks win he’ll forget how to play basketball or lose 2 feet off his height. He could still go on to be the GOAT.
No if the Knicks win Mamdani will pull up with the Mystery Gang and pull off Wemby’s face mask, revealing the Sasquatsh underneath. “I WOULD’VE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO IF IT WASN’T FOR THOSE MEDDLING KIDS!”
This is petty asf and I love it
Mamdani’s making those kids watch a 4-part horror movie where a giant French speaking alien ravages their favorite players 😂😂😂
This made me spill out my drink
I live in NC now but was born and raised in CT for 35 years and went to UConn. A local NC friend asked yesterday who I’m rooting for in the finals and suggested the Knicks since it’s basically a New England team.
Disgusting, I told them I wasn’t sure we could be friends anymore.
Hahahahahaha got me
I don’t think the girl in grey knew what was happening, but she sure was loud. 😆
“I don’t know when I was born”
Look at what happens to us under socialism. Little kids forgetting their own birthdays.
Smh.. New York is a disaster.
Just wait till this is cited for the cause of the riots when they win.
clicks ReTruth
This is what happens under Shakira law. What’s next Waka Waka eh eh?
Then she repeated it bro I thought she was ab to spit some crazy trauma.
“i’m a ghost”
Sometimes when I’m in the bathroom and the sink has a motion sensor to trigger the faucet and I can’t get it to go I question whether I’m a ghost for a few seconds
“Was I born? Mister…?”
She’s wearing gray, maybe she’s a Spurs plant
Paid agitator
Bankrolled by Antiny. Sry I saw it live.
I don’t think she knows what year she was born
She’s having her first existential crisis on TV
She was right next to his lapel mic and honestly of all the random shit kids say that could have been a lot worse
You just know Mayor Mamdani was trying to not crack up laughing and stay on track
lol I was just thinking this clip is gonna be legendary for her when she’s an adult
Wemby needs to finish this series in 4 so that kids can get their 8-9 hours of sleep
yeah if the spurs end up putting belt to ass it’ll be hilarious for them kids gotta teach them young
(i think it’s gonna go 7 don’t @ me)
They can stay up past their bedtime, but if wemby is turning the screw, they gotta watch the entire game til the clock hits 0 clockwork orange (and blue?) style.
If anyone knows the harms of blue light past bedtime it’s Wemby.
Truly ethical basketball
Wemby: “Fuck them kids, no sandusky”
What a monster. Impeach him now.
caring about the children instead of bringing them to an island? instant jail
We should really be throwing him in Alligator Alcatraz for this one.
straight to jail, do not pass go
It’s all part of his plan to impose Shakira law on the people of NYC
Do my hips have to take a lie detector test?
Yes, and if they fail you go straight to the front of the line for your state mandated gender reassignment. That’s just how things are in the Islamic Emirate of New York these days.
*sigh*…again?
SNIP SNAP! SNIP SNAP! SNIP SNAP!
I, for one, welcome Shakira law
Repealing bedtime is clearly part of the woke agenda
so, a lot of politicians let kids stay up late - there’s an entire list of them.
It ain’t bedtime until the big hand touches the little hand.
This is a tragically witty response
Entire files on them some would say.
The mayor is karma farming. I love it.
Aura farming karma farming all of it
Politics aside this shit insanely fucking cute
The fact that he can’t run for Pres gives him so much freedom to be himself. He could be mayor for life if it was allowed.
As a Spurs fan all I can say to this is… there’s a 7’5” monster under all of their beds.
Also, NY has the best mayor in the country.
The Wemby of politics
The world. Seriously. European liberal urbanites are looking at Mamdani in awe and want clones in their own cities
Trump will send the national guard
He and his buddies will personally ensure every kid is in bed by a certain hour….
he and his buddies certainly like kids in beds
To what? Kidnap the kids back to his house?
Except he clearly is enamored by Zohran too lol
Ztupid zexy Zohran
Only if we win the chip
The national guard is getting called regardless of the outcome ngl
A few years ago, he would be sending in Epstein
New York Times: Mayor Mamdani Seeks to Limit Parental Rights

Who was alive in 1999 lmao
“Meeeeee” —some 5 year ol smart ass new yorker
They got em out there busting people’s chops from a young age
Man I’m a Spurs fan, but Mamdani is the shit.
On one hand I want the spurs to win, on the other I dont think there would be a better arguement to get americans to elect more progressive mayors than by saying “zohran got elected and the knicks immediately won a championship”
As a neutral outsider, this is the absolute best kind of series. Both teams are awesome, everyone’s playing their absolute best, and the whole thing’s gonna come down to a coin flip as long as nothing else goes wrong. No matter who wins, you can’t be mad. Just incredible.
(I mean, you’re a Spurs fan, but it’s better than losing to like Boston or some shit, ya know?)
Let the Knicks have this one, as a treat. Wemby’s probably gonna be racking up some championships anyways.
As a Spurs fan living in NYC, this really is an amazing time for me.
This dude is cool as fuck and genuinely a great mayor, the Spurs have given me a season to remember forever no matter what happens, and the Knicks have brought the city to life. Can’t ask for more!
How sweet now Chet can watch his father on national television!
Lucky, Chet has many dads in the Spurs.
If that dude were born in America then he’d President within 10 years.
Never seen a lefty policitian as likeable AND effective as him.
Dude is a Muslim that won mayor of New York.
It’s not as improbable as 2008, but it’s a strong, strong second place.
“Communist mayor tells parents how raise their kids.” - The New York Post
Too many words and not insane enough to be the post.
Billionaires were painting Zohran as a monster, he’s been the exact opposite.
Yeah but he wants to tax second homes worth more than $1 million, that’s pretty much a disgusting racial slur
5 million. C’mon now, I make 20k and Fox told me to be outraged about this!
I miss wholesome stuff like this in American life.
100%, it’s so hard to find wholesome things these days.
That’s my mayor!!!
(Im not from nyc)
Hard to hate him but they try.
Thanks, Obama!
Everything this dude does is awesome. I wish he was my mayor:/
He’s very charismatic. Very much like Obama where he can talk to anyone where it feels natural to him.
“All of you can watch the finals, how do you feel?”
“Fuck SGA and his flopping ass!”, they all said in unison
one of the earliest memories i have of paying attention to sports was getting to stay up late with my dad to watch the 1999 finals, so this is pretty fucking cool
Fox News is going to go apeshit about this, its going to be hilarious.
Now all NYC kids can watch as the future GOAT wins his first ring!
Now they get to stay up and learn what true sports disappointment means.
Next sharia. …./s
Protect this man at all costs.
Radical Islamist mayor mandates NY children to stay awake through morning prayer time in Iran.
As a neutral I’m very excited for this finals. Also, I wish Mamdani was my mayor.
That little girl is gonna feel so embarrassed when she’s older lol
Truly a man of the people.
Republicans are going to freak over this.
This is Sharia Law!!!
Mamdani > your mayor.
Finally some good news involving politics for once
One of my earliest memories ever is my dad letting me stay up to watch the Bulls when I was 3 years old.
Damn! He’s the mayor now? Daredevil season 3 is nuts.
The Mayor has actually been great
