I was no fan of Adams either. His pick imo was based on campaign contributions which is no less disgusting than picking a leader simply because she is a female lesbian in a complete dei pick.
But his picks are full of radicals, several Muslims, few white males(every one of them worked under deblasio) , and his transition team is six women and his deputy mayor who is Lebanese.
Here are some other picks
His pick to lead schools is a Jamaican born dude named kamer whose primary focus is to integrate schools-ie send inner city kids to suburban schools and suburban kids to inner city schools which sounds like an absolute nightmare getting these kids to schools that may be far away for each child and they want to end the gifted and talented program because it’s racist-but I am sure suburban parents are thrilled that their child will be sent to a school in the inner city where they will be in the minority and easy targets for the thugs in the school.
His pick to run health is a female named Helen-who is obese, with a white guy to lead council who was under deblasio and specializes in immigration defense and another guy named ramzi kaseem
For his chief of staff, he picked a Lebanese deputy mayor under deblasio and his right hand woman is a democratic socialist member that managed his campaign
His other picks were almost all female and almost all of some ethnicities or world under ultra liberal deblasio
Some dude named sherif soliman, a woman named shamila, a dei appointment specialist that also served under adams and deblasio, some dude named Ahmed, a woman that is hated in the real estate world because she does what he has stated he will do-force any property sellers to first have to offer the property to non profits and the city, a democratic socialist named Julie su,
The dude he chose to run the judicial board of nyc is a Pakistani whose primary focus is making sure that juries will look like the people they represent-so some more dei in the justice system because we all know that’s what’s most important-that you have 30% of your jury white, 20% black, 17% Asian, and so on. He is also very much in favor of restructuring policing away from “traditional models” and ensure that they pursue a progressive policing model.
Only 5 white males out of 24 appointments which is around 20% and although I was not sure based on some of the names, according to a Jewish news source : he hasn’t appointed a Jewish person in charge of anything and almost 20% of his 400 appointees to his transition committees were linked to anti-Israel groups or “have a documented history of making anti-Israel statements.” He is also proudly anti-Zionist and doesn’t believe Israel should exist and it should be returned to palestine as well as saying that he would have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he ever came to the city. Under what fucking authority could he ever fathom doing that?
He tried to assuage the fears of Jewish rabbis by telling them “don’t worry, I will protect you.” WOW, that’s reassuring.
He kept adams police chief who laughably enough, is the heiress to Loews corporation and her family is worth ten billion-so much for going after those billionaires.
Almost all of his team is some minority or another and with the women included as well, it’s a dei shitshow. It reminds me of bidens picks that what mattered first and foremost was that you had “underrepresented people” in your cabinet and you decide “ok, I am absolutely going to appoint a black woman to scotus-now I just have to find the most qualified black woman.” That is blatant discrimination in my eyes-that you have such narrow focus that you are picking from such a small pool and hoping you find a qualified person-not the best overall choice, but it’s absurd how much he handicapped himself and the country by limiting the search to only six percent of the population. That’s like saying you want to eat at the best restaurant in the whole city but then you limit it to a certain type of Jamaican cuisine and you walk by the best Michelin star restaurants to get to the place. Now, I am not saying ketanji-brown isn’t qualified, but there were tons better options out there but he only chose to narrow his scope to only a black woman.
His reign will be an absolute shitshow but it will be fun to watch-maybe even more fun than watching brandon johnson fuck up Chicago even worse.
