Chronically online New Yorkers are tweeting their hearts out today with news of Mayor Eric Adams indictment — making him the first mayor of NYC to be indicted on federal charges while in office.
ICYMI: Adams allegedly conspired with the Turkish government to receive illegal foreign donations. While he continues to insist he’s innocent, the five federal charges include “bribery conspiracy, fraud, and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations.” According to the 57-page indictment, the crimes date back almost ten years. A whole decade allegedly working for Turkey and no hair transplant? Seems like a missed opportunity.
As soon as I heard Adams was indicted, my first thought was here comes the trash can memes. And boy did the internet not disappoint. Nothing brings New Yorkers together like piling on shitty politicians. Here are the funniest meme reactions to Eric Adams’ indictment.

There’s a much funnier version of this where Adams gets busted when he returns from Istanbul with the most beautiful head of hair the world has ever seen.
