When you're a kid, you think the grownups are incredibly smart, especially the grownups who run things and teachers who know more than you. When you become an adult, you know that's a load of horse manure and many, if not most of the people who run things are as dumb as grass. And this is where New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio [who doesn't even use his real name, which is Warren Wilhelm, Jr.] comes in.
NY City is under serious attack by the Wuhan Coronavirus [aka China Virus; aka COVID-19] and the city government, led by the man who cheered on the leftist Sandinistas in Nicaragua back in the day, is telling New Yorkers who don't need to be outside to stay indoors.
So instead of taking his own advice, de Blasio dragged aides and NYPD officers of his security detail to his Brooklyn YMCA Monday because when they were looking to hire a new Village Idiot, de Blasio was overqualified and became mayor instead. According to a gym source, as reported by The New York Post, people at the gym were coughing and sneezing and a mentally ill person was touching the equipment.
“It’s crazy that he made his staff and detail come with him to the gym and expose them like that,” the source said, and many sources said that this incident was just one of many examples of the cretin's disregard for the welfare of his staff during the pandemic.
Three of the paper's sources said that frustration from senior aides has grown and they fault Comrade de Blasio for walking around with his head stuck up in his nether regions [I paraphrased] as opposed to actually be mayoral.
‘Thank god for Cuomo,’ [who actually believes he is G-d] is a common refrain among the mayor’s staff, made only partly in jest, because the NY governor has taken the city's lead on the China virus. He canceled the St. Patrick's Day Parade and other large venue, including Broadway. Cuomo also pushed the reluctant idiot mayor to shutter public schools.
Rather than dealing with the big picture, de Blasio has insisted on proof-reading all public materials about the city’s COVID-19 response from press releases to ad campaigns, one source said.
“Instead of micromanaging his team he should be leading right now,” the source said.
And the mayor has tossed aside advice from staffers along the way. They've repeatedly warned him that prematurely announcing a possible shelter-in-place order Tuesday would cause unnecessary panic.
“He is dismissive of everyone’s opinion around him,” said a source, who refused to label him a schmuck but was likely thinking that because to know de Blasio is to know he's a schmuck.
“It’s very much his way or the highway in moments of crisis and he thinks he knows best,” the source noted.
De Blasio described what a shelter-in-place order would look like for New York City at a City Hall press briefing and even refused to rule out a ban on travel out of the Big Apple.
Hours later Cuomo went on NY1 to blast the schmuck.
“There’s not going to be any, ‘You must stay in your house,’ rule,” Cuomo said, labeling the mayor’s remarks “counterproductive,” but actually wanting to label them "ridiculous." The governor explained that he wanted to craft a statewide plan before shutting down non-essential business in the Big Apple.
Cuomo eventually ordered a statewide lockdown Friday, three days later.
Tensions are also frayed between de Blasio and many of his longtime aides.
But his chief of staff Emma Wolfe has a better relationship with the socialist mayor.
“She is pushing back a lot harder than she normally does with him,” a source said.
“Emma is an operative to the core and she has a relationship with the governor’s office. They respect her game and her political mind. She is able to forecast in terms of moves the governor’s office is going to make well before the mayor.
“She sees the need to be decisive in a moment like this and he doesn’t so she’s pushed him to get there,” the source added, implying that de Blasio has as much foresight as a child ready to test a hot stove.
Another source said de Blasio isn’t delegating decisions, which is why so many major announcements have had to be made by the governor.
The staff is “endlessly frustrated” by the schmuck's disregard for their health and micromanagement, the source confirmed.

“He’s incredibly condescending. He thinks he has a pulse on the emotions and feelings and concerns of everyday New Yorkers better than his staff, which is remarkable for a guy who lives in a mansion on the Upper East Side,” the source said.
Asked for comment, Freddi Goldstein, the mayor’s press secretary brilliantly said, “this is an unprecedented crisis.”
Duh-uh . . . you think so?
