Curtis, who is insane, has the most rational response for the haters and crybabies.

What a world.

He's a bit kooky and I wouldn't leave him in charge of a ham sandwich, but he's still better than most Republican politicians.

I get the sense that the one thing both he and Mamdani have in common is that they love New York.

I only know him from the 80s when crime was out of fucking control in NYC and the Guardian Angels used to ride the subways to protect people. It was legit scary on those subways back then and you really did feel safer when a couple of guys with walkie talkies were in your car. It meant a lot. I haven’t thought about him in 35 years, but I can say he was a good dude back then.

Nah, I think Zohran should put him in charge of parades and other celebrations. I think Sliwa would love it and excel.

He does seem to have a pretty strong sense of duty and honor. Gotta give credit where it’s due
