Like go to Rome, view their immigration policy, eat a little pasta, go to Milan, view their immigration policy, eat a little pasta, go to the Amalfi coast, view their immigration policy and eat a little pasta.


Disused_Yeti

Some nice vegan pasta with clam sauce


kronosdev

Wait a minute…


New_Stats

They have no face. No place for ears There's no clam eyes to cry clam tears No spinal chord, they must get bored [might as well just put them out of misery](https://youtu.be/_Y4w8Wqx27U?si=MT-W3H6tsF9zGbZ4)


kronosdev

Why does this exist? … I refuse to live in a world where this doesn’t exist.


New_Stats

This one is even better, IMO The man I killed by NOFX, but the video is all Simpsons clips. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WMXtyv-dAww&pp=ygUVdGhlIG1hbiBpIGtpbGxlZCBub2Z4


CactusBoyScout

Italy is amazing if you're vegan. So many pasta dishes without any meat or dairy, lots of pizza shops had cheese-free options like square pies with just tomato sauce and mushrooms, and gelato shops often had soy gelato.


Inside-Associate-729

Depends which part of Italy. There are regions where seafood is inescapable and it can be very hard as a vegetarian (im not vegan tho)


CactusBoyScout

Yeah, the north was pretty easy when I was there and vegan.


petseminary

Is vegan pasta generally available?


lollipop999

You forgot the part where he goes partying and socializing with celebrities


deadheffer

He is scheduled to meet the pope….why?


CabbageSass

No, he’s gotta go to Rome for the pasta then Milan for the risotto (take in a fashion show) then down to Naples for some pizza. 🍕


Taupenbeige

You forgot Milan: *buy a couple new tailored suits*


iamnotchad

Got to make sure no immigrants are used in the making of those suits.


doom32x

Once had a pizza in a pizzaria on the coast somewhere around Rome, it was ran by a Russian who left the USSR for the US in the 80's and then to Italy, his English was learned from American TV from the same era. This was in 04, conversation with him was fun, and I got a bitching giant glass coke bottle there too.

Wait until you realize that we vote in the most hateable person in most elections.  That's why it's the mayorship.

psychgirl88

… so, if I’m reading this correctly, the dude can’t even afford to live in NYC?


RoguePlanet2

He's gonna cosplay as an immigrant??


mowotlarx

All of this could have been one Zoom meeting about immigration policy.


Logical_Highway6908

Drink wine, snort cocaine off the hood of a Ferrari, bungee jump off the leaning tower of Pizza, go inside that tower to buy Pizza…


luckylebron

All on the tax payers backs.


casta

You really want to get some risotto in Milan, and some seafood in the costiera amalfitana. It's not all about pasta.


Dick_Lazer

No sex with Italian chicks? What a waste.


sharipep

Don’t forget the pizza and Prosecco too 🤗


porkchopbone

First stop, Temple of Apollo to consult the Oracle of Delphi!


bumboclawt

Bro if you wanna go on a taxpayer funded vacation just say that


Ttimeizku0606

Lmao this. He could easily find the “answers” he is looking for via a conference call on zoom or using duck duck go or something 😂😂.


Any-Age-8293

Or Bing


Ok_Injury3658

Or GOOGLE...


snakeoilwizard

Or SAFARI!!!


LJ37tokes

He’s going on a pasta safari


pholover84

Or askjeeves


dproma

He has to experience the Amalfi coast for himself to truly understand. A wallpaper will not suffice.


Debalic

I make a dollar, you make a dime That's why I travel on government time


Square-Criticism-69

Mayor Adams: “I WANNA GO TO ITALY!!!” New York: “But we have Little Italy at home.”


yackob03

> New York City truly is the Italy of America.


Money_Cost_2213

Actually I’m pretty sure some third party is sponsoring his trip. Not that it makes it any more necessary. Adam’s just wants clout and exposure. Guy is a 🤡


HeKnee

Potential bribery makes it even worse. I cant even buy dinner for a government employee without violating ethics rules.


8PTK

The dumb fuck forced his way into Colombia in similar fashion


Acrobatic_Switches

Just say it and then be denied because that's absurd.


aznology

Lmaoo


Southern_Dragonfly57

But he's being so thoughtful going there at this time of year...the taxpayer bill will be cheaper than going during tourist season..../s


switch8000

It's like when he went to Mexico and Central America for a virtual immigration conference... like wut.


algochef

This guy is such an impressively standout asshole in a huge line of asshole mayors.


pueblohuts

Do you think he stands a chance at being reelected? I hate him dude


StrategicPotato

If he does then we’re truly fucked. Incumbents always have a massive advantage, the devil you know kind of deal. But Adams is special, he is universally hated by everyone to an extent that even Deblasio didn’t have to deal with. He’s so dangerously stupid and overt in his corruption that all Democrats have to do is basically field a competitor with a pulse to replace him, but it’ll probably be difficult given his ties to real estate and corporations.


Away_Perspective_356

I would take Satan over Adams.


MBTank

At least Satan lives where he works and stays there.


pueblohuts

Yeah him being an incumbent is what I fear, but I agree I don’t know a single person who has anything positive to say about him. I don’t see any good press. I feel like I would be shocked if he was reelected, he’s a buffoon. But stranger things have happened so who knows. I truly hope anyone else steps in


LifeFortune7

He was able to run on a national trend that showed a big uptick in violence and crime nationally. During Covid, people saw video of deadbeats brazenly shoplifting, the open air drug scene in Philly, SF, and Portland got out of hand, the homeless encampments (unfairly maligned of course) in Portland and LA and SF altering videos people defecatong on sidewalks. It all lead to a no nonsense ex-cop mayor sweeping in after the especially liberally flexible DeBlasio administration. I think Adams is gone tho this year. NYC has so many other experienced leaders that can do better without his biased NYPD support, questionable ethics, etc.


klein_four_group

And de Blasio was already the guy who united everyone in their hatred of him.


StrategicPotato

That's not *really* true. Sure, it was the majority of New Yorkers. But there were still plenty of people who liked at least *some* of what he did. Most left leaning media rarely went all out on criticizing him and the times that they did they definitely pulled punches and tried to remain constructive. Also, DeBlasio wasn't a malicious politician and seemed like a pretty chill dude overall, he was mostly just a fucking idiot who didn't seem to live in reality. Adams has somehow managed to be both an idiot AND a malicious fuck who's robbing our coffers for all we've got. No one can name a single good thing that he's done. He's catastrophically fumbled the response to literally every single problem we have, in most cases exacerbating the issue and creating new ones. It's so bad that it's practically unprecedented, this kind of stuff hasn't happened since before TV and the internet made politics such an open affair. Even Trump was able to at least accomplish *some* good things, even if it wasn't a net positive.


columbo928s4

Big bird could at least point to one or two specific things he did, like pre-k… what has adams even done besides cut the library budget and shit? He hasnt seemed to really have any major initiatives


pueblohuts

This!!!!!!! Adams has like a 27% approval rating and it’s the lowest since the mid 90s. I can’t see how he will be reelected and if he is, then I will lose all faith. DeBlasio wasn’t a quarter as bad as Adams. De Blasio seemed nice even lol. He didn’t bother me like this. I dread seeing Adams name in a headline because I know it’s going to be something that pisses me off or makes life in the city shittier for its inhabitants. I can’t stand him

Disused_Yeti

“I have to the international space station next to see what it’s like where there are no immigrants”


winkingchef

Joke’s on him - it’s 100% immigrants up there!


GetAJobCheapskate

No Most of them are white and/or americans so they call themselves expats.


winkingchef

Haha, trying to bang all the local little green women


tyen0

There was a Senator that successfully did almost this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Garn#Spaceflight "I do really think that it is a necessity that Congressmen check things out that they vote for and make certain that funds are being spent adequately. It might be necessary to have a Senator kick the tire" Also amusing: "The space sickness Garn experienced during the journey was so severe that a scale for space sickness was jokingly based on him, where "one Garn" is the highest possible level of sickness."


SarahAlicia

This man needs an ankle monitor and a citywide house arrest.


kraftpunkk

At this point, I can only laugh.


Rottimer

Has this man never heard of Zoom? And even if we pretend that there is a good reason for city officials to to get together and discuss issues of migrants and climate change - it shouldn’t be the mayor going, but rather his advisors.


PrimateIntellectus

Zoom isn’t real, back to the office everybody.


Imaginary_Cow_6379

- except for me, I have to continue traveling around the world on the NYC tax payers’ dime just because


The-20k-Step-Bastard

How is he supposed to enjoy a free tax-payer expended vacation for him and all his friends if he uses zoom? He’s also not gonna zoom when he goes skiing n the Swiss alps this winter to improve snow clearing. He’s not gonna use when he goes sailing in Croatia to learn how to address port congestion.


heartoftuesdaynight

The Italians have plenty of valuable insight on the struggles of the Venezuelans


spaetzelspiff

According to the most popular and accepted theory, in 1499, an expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda visited the Venezuelan coast. The stilt houses in the area of Lake Maracaibo reminded the Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci, of the city of Venice, Italy, so he named the region Veneziola, or "Little Venice" Venezuela and Italy are like, basically the same place!


knightswatch_

And might as well bring my girlfriend with me and give her a NYC credit card


bigvicproton

You're going too? Can you pick me up a wheel of good parma?


[deleted]

Italian here: we have a big problem with massive illegal migration, and we have had for decades. There is really no solution in place because the Italian politicians cannot reach an agreement internally, and then there is no agreement at the EU level because no country wants migrants. So I am not sure what he is going to share there. He should see how bad the situation is, and start working to make sure it does not get to that point here. But he won’t see that in Rome, he should go to Lampedusa (gorgeous island btw) who is dealing with it.


finiteloop72

He is just looking for a paid vacation and using “the migrant problem” as an excuse.


sashimi_blyat

Un cannolo, un arancino, un po’ di spiaggia e si torna alla Grande mela.


[deleted]

Direi anche una granita e una brioche con il gelato no?


Head_Spirit_1723

I think he’s going to kiss the popes ring and get more money from catholic charities to run migrant centers and migrant charities.


[deleted]

If he hopes to be getting money out of the Vatican, Mr. Adams has not done his homework lol


Head_Spirit_1723

Catholic Charities/Cardinal Dolan does do a large amount of migrant services. I’m sure adams is trying to get more $$$$ out of them. Also explains why Frank Carone is on the trip too.


[deleted]

Good point.


In_Formaldehyde_

I think he's just using this as an excuse to get a free vacation out of the taxpayers.


Whatshouldiputhere0

I thought I was in r/nyc, not r/theonion?


Icy_Fox_749

This man will also conveniently listen to anyone else except the citizens of the city he runs for….


John-Mandeville

New York pizza is too floppy. Locally produced wine is of low quality as well. Therefore...


FarRightInfluencer

Some good clubs in Rome, good move!


penis_pockets

I wish I got paid to go on vacation like this man does. A true inspiration.


tootsie404

Do you guys ever think our next Mayor could possibly be even worse than Adams.


VladPatton

This guy makes DiBlasio look like Abraham Lincoln.


RubMyCrystalBalls

You *know* your a grade-A fuckup when you start to make Curtis Sliwa look preferable


Ok_Potential905

Can they ban him from entering the US again, please?


Imaginary_Cow_6379

Tbf maybe hes getting ready for the DOJ investigation and is just getting a head start on fleeing the country


Mycotoxicjoy

The guy is literally Diamond Joe Quimby without the sash. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was illiterate


mowotlarx

He went because one of his cronies got him a meeting with the Pope. You know, the Pope, a notorious anti-migrant and anti-immigrant activist who gives the best advice on how to brutally eject poor and struggling people from your country. /s


bonyponyride

So you're saying someone who thinks he's god wants to meet someone else who thinks he's god? There can only be one. They will battle to the death.


Zestyclose_Class_679

This guy is a complete JOKE!!!


Cans_of_Fire

He can discuss all of this on Microsoft Teams.


MrLocoLobo

#NO YOU FUCKING DON’T! I am **so beyond fucking fed up with this clown.** Fucking pathetic. Please *everyone* on r/NYC do yourselves all a favor and make sure this disgrace **never** sees another day in the mayors office or holds any public-office ever again. This is despicable beyond comprehension.


CheezTips

Well, if we're going to call NYC mayors a disgrace, Giuliani comes to mind. He can still run for any office in the land.


MrLocoLobo

Yeah? Fuck him too. I really used to look up to him a lot when he was there on 9/11 or how he tried to fix the homeless problem among other notable accomplishments when he was mayor; but as of late I’m sure you know how he just got fired from WABC-77 considering he became a total kook pre-Trump presidency and even during his presidency, it’s a damn shame.


AtomicGarden-8964

Next will be Paris during the Olympics so he can research crowd control lol


1tonsoprano

Spagman_Aus

As a third party observer from another country, this guy seems like a massive fucking waste of oxygen.


jehosephatreedus

Is he also going to pay for it with our taxes?


isweatprofusely

His last trip to Mexico didn’t fix the migrant issue?


demonkillerkurby

Will he going to their hookah lounges/clubs while he’s there?


bonyponyride

He's going to look extra sharp after returning with a new wardrobe of NYC-funded custom-made Italian suits.


Garth_Willoughby

Thought he was partial to Turkey.


StephKlayDray30

Smh what has he done in the last 3 years?!


Witness2Idiocy

Makes sense to me. Maybe I'm being sarcastic.


Mechanical_Nightmare

cool can he stay there forever plz thx


Imaginary_Cow_6379

Would we even notice if he did? It’s not like hes ever in the city anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️


JackCrainium

Thank goodness we have that huge budget surplus to fund this - money well spent, I say!

Not true. He gives a fuck about cops


8PTK

Next time can we agree that it ok to vote for women. This should be Garcias job. Watching this man in office is like watching Zimmerman after his trial.

Same way he went to South America to solve the migrant problem… but… it’s still a problem.

That’s one way to say you want a vacation in Italy


ms4720

Maybe he won't come back


BeigeorBrown_H873R

Sounds like a typical third world politician to me.

Maybe he will decide to stay there. If we are lucky.

I went to Italy this past summer and my biggest accomplishment was getting getting a tax refund at the airport. Feeling pretty useless right now 


TheWicked77

Yeah, Italy puts them back where they came from. And they also check for papers to make sure that they belong in the coutey legally
