There goes Alabama, trying to leave the Union again.

I would add that if any cops disrespect him as mayor, order their supervisor to fire them for insubordination. They can grieve it but if cops want to make believe they are soldiers, they should be subject to military discipline.

To paraphrase the CEO: “We’re already 9 figures deep in this guy, so we aren’t going to cut bait on that investment, regardless of how awful he is.”

Weird that you call it “blaccent” when I call it “average citizen from New York”

Voter intimidation. A VERY FEDERAL OFFENSE.
