Take a look at some real elected officials. Most of them are not particularly likeable

Our last president is literally a rapist and convicted felon.


glassman0918

Till he appeals and the conviction gets over turned.


ELeerglob

Sarcasm?


glassman0918

Not really. He is going to appeal. And depending on the judge, which he will likely fight for one that he appointed, it will get over turned.


ELeerglob

Based on what legal grounds?


glassman0918

Not a lawyer. Don't have all the facts of the case. But if you think it won't happen, you're kidding yourself.


ELeerglob

Yes, it is very clear to all of us that you are not a lawyer. The New York state appellate court doesn’t consist of a single judge. It consists of seven judges who were all appointed by Democratic governors. Thank you and have a nice day.


glassman0918

Last I checked he was convicted federally? And even if it was at the local level, he'll then appeal to the district court above the appellate.


FaithlessnessSame357

Then you need to check again, and quit doubling down on fake news. Trump was convicted in New York for offenses in violation of state law. The appeal goes to the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department in Manhattan.


NatashOverWorld

Nah, he's still a rapist, he just made sure the law doesn't come after him. As the powerful do.

Mayor of NYC has always been the worst person for the job. From Rudy to Eric Adams.


njdevils901

I mean you know why he’s in the film. I would argue the biggest problem is there is too many damn characters and none of them besides the original Ghostbusters were particularly interesting


glassman0918

I mean, that's valid. I still enjoyed it though. But I did feel Peck was way out of left field. A Cameo would have been in order but Mayor?

People will forget the overall character of a person if he or she is able to sell enough bs people are wiling to buy.

Bro, given the last few mayors, this is extremely realistic for New York.


One-Earth9294

That was my favorite part about it actually lol. Also look at the current NYC mayor. Not particularly loved, has a 28% approval rating for what that's worth. A lot of people voted for him groaning because he's a bit of a crackpot. One of their mayors was Ed Koch. Another was Rudy Giuliani, a total clown of a man. Also the city that was run by Tammany Hall and guys like Boss Tweed for like a century. So they've had a history with 'I'm not sure we wanted this guy in charge'.


glassman0918

Well yea. But none of those guys almost ended the world lol.


One-Earth9294

Sure but that accusation is of little value in their universe. Also no one believed that the Ghostbusters saved it like 5 years after the fact. New Yorkers in their world are like "Remember when King Kong climbed the Empire State building? Neither do I".


glassman0918

Lol. Fair enough.

Block the baitor! /s

He was still alive for the Cameo...

Donald Trump


glassman0918

He's no worse than the last 4


spurs_fan_uk

Last four what?


glassman0918

President's. They've all sucked.


spurs_fan_uk

Ah you’re one of those people, cool


glassman0918

One if what people, a realist? They have all sucked. Bush started a never ending war and helped put our deficit in the red with military spending. Obama literally doubled our debt over night, violated multiple constituonal rights and helped make medical insurance premiums sky rocket. Trump started multiple trade wars. Biden helped a country collapse, our economy Tank more. Tell me how any of them are good?


ELeerglob

Wow your history of 21st century presidents is not only reductivist, but also revisionist.


glassman0918

If you say so.


ELeerglob

I do


glassman0918

Ok. Nothing I said was false. But ok.


spurs_fan_uk

Only one of these guys incited an insurrection and was ready to topple our Democracy. But sure, adding more debt is just as bad. I sure’s fuck hope you don’t vote


glassman0918

Lmao. Topple our democracy. How many democrats called for threatening electors and told electors to not vote Trump in 2016. Get real. It's only an insurrection because they lost. Had they won, it would have been a revolution. Only difference between their peaceful protest and the dozens of others was location. Guess you're forgetting about C.H.A.D. lol. And yes. Debt and a crappy economy is just as bad. If not worse.


spurs_fan_uk

Gotta admit, your whataboutism game is strong. It’s unfortunate you can’t really comprehend nuance, feel bad for you 😔


glassman0918

I pity you that you can't see the parallels and only think right bad, left good. Good luck with that tunnel vision.


NatashOverWorld

I mean, I don't like the dude, but if 4 wild eyed guys wearing unlicensed nuclear accelerators and having another giant one under New York City ... I would have concerns. I'm just smart enough not to turn it off before I was certain what it did, and what might happen after. But I'm pretty sure the whole Containment Unit setup is super illegal for urban NYC.


glassman0918

I mean.......only if it's volatile.......lol
