Yahoo Lifestyle I'm Sorry, But These Tweets About The Mayor Of New York Being Indicted Are Way Funnier Than They Should Be
Eric Adams has become the first New York City mayor to be indicted on federal charges while in office.
The charges include "bribery conspiracy, fraud, and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations."
Here's what the NYT is saying about it:
"The indictment accuses Mr. Adams of crimes going back a decade, since he took office as Brooklyn borough president in 2014, by improperly accepting benefits that included luxury international travel from wealthy business people and at least one Turkish government official."
Sooo, because New Yorkers have been clowning on Mayor Adams since the time he got in office, you better believe there are jokes. Lots of 'em. And here are the best ones:

in light of the Adams news, his property he pretends to live in in Brooklyn is in my neighborhood. I walked by it today and the basement of his neighbors had flooded, and the guys working on it gleefully informed me Eric’s toilets were also backed up
