• He has the power to not deploy police against anti-genocide protestors. Instead he deployed police to prevent protestors from interfering as genocidal Zionists violated both international and US law in his city.

          He has the power to not provide any police escorts or security while Hitler 2.0 visits, and let whatever happens happen. Instead he’s going to provide security I’m sure.

          Why are you going to bat for a lying zionist collaborator?

            • ??? Are you OK? You sound delusional. What’s Putin got to do with any of this? Point out the thing I said which is a “false claim”.

              Man you’ve got a very bad case of shitlib brain, get thee to a doctor for some radiation before it metastasizes into something fatal.

          If he didn’t have the resources to investigate if he could arrest him, then why did he say he would do it? Why would someone say confidently that they would do something if they actually have not researched if they could do something?

      since when americans politicians care about laws ? didn’t trump need congressional authorization to wage a war on iran ? well he did it anyway and nobody stopped him , if he wanted to arrest him he can just find a loophole or something im sure nobody on the people side would mind

        • Well golly, it’s almost as if politicians who actually work for the people instead of billionaires will also try to do things legally. For all the people who say both parties are the same, this right here is a huge glaring hole in their theory.

          You’re right. You’ve convinced me. The DemoKKKrats are worse

            • Huh? Are you stupid? The dems (genocidal nazis who helped murder probably around 100,000 Palestinians, by the way!) have been Iran hawks for my whole life. Obama sanctioned the hell out of them. Trump may have pulled the trigger on war, but a bipartisan team loaded the gun

      the law prevents him from actually issuing the arrest warrant

      But it didn’t prevent him from campaigning on issuing the arrest warrant.

      Like, hey, I get it. We got a rent freeze and a tripling of the city’s public housing budget. We got free city buses on more frequent schedules. $26M towards three big city-owned grocery stores. A voucher plan for public childcare, along with plans to expand city childcare amenities and services.

      “Why aren’t you ordering ultra-Zionist Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to arrest a visiting dignitary operating with diplomatic immunity?” seems kinda trivial and foolish by comparison. Why didn’t Zohran replace Jessica Tisch when he took office? Idfk. But this seems like the kind of move a man who came to office on a wave of populist economic energy doesn’t have high on his list of to-dos.
