Bloomberg Threatens Us All

In case you missed the Bloomberg story in the Post this morning:

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned.

A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday.

“It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,” the witness said.

Freidman confirmed the blow-up to The Post, and said Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that, “After January, I am going to destroy all you f--king guys.”

That’s bad news for Bloomberg’s political enemies, who could all become targets once the revenge-minded billionaire has nothing but time on his hands.

Read the whole article and tell me that Bloomberg isn't a threat to us all once he leaves office.

He's got an "Enemies List" in his head of people and groups he's going to get even with and he's got the billions to do it.

This is scary stuff.

Don't know how you stop a billionaire intent on using his money to destroy people or groups he doesn't like.

But we're going to find out in January once Bloomberg leaves office.

Because it seems so long as he remains on this mortal coil, he is going to be looking to get even with people he feels have screwed him or beaten him.

That group includes not only the taxi industry but also the NRA, gun owners, the soda industry, teachers, teachers unions, government workers, and anybody who was opposed to his bike lanes, congestion pricing or Manhattan stadium.

    I never like making these kinds of comments, and I never wish ill on anyone except my enemies. But I still wonder if a stroke would be necessary ill to stop hizzoner and his tirades.

    1. Unfortunately Bloomberg's influence will continue long after he leaves this earth - think the Rockefeller Foundation or the Carnegie Foundation.

      Bloomberg Philanthropy will be doing its odious "charity" work long after the mayor is dust.

  2. Methinks you doth protest (and worry) toomuch.OK,fine, he's still got the billions, but those are only truly threatening when combined with actual political powersuch as the bility of a mayor to let contracts in the name of the city. Come Jan., that's gone,which iswhat has him unnerved.The major ssource of the unknown billions he's skimmed from contracys and secreted within offshore accounts of shell corporations within shell corporations.Nobody has any further reason to pay any mind to this ass clown.He's a lame schmuck, pure and simple.When stripped of his power, the billions won't go as far as they used to,and mouths previously thought bought ad infinitum will start yapping and flapping.Should be interesting. In the mean time,give him a taste of his own crap! Time to pile on!

    1. Okay, but just because he becomes a billionaire without power doesn't mean he can't pull strings. Bill Gates holds no political office - but look at all the influence he has over policy.

      Bloomberg has already shown a willingness to use his money in L.A. school district races. He will use it on other things as well.
