“She’s been elected by her peers,” said USCM CEO and Executive Director Tom Cochran. “It’s one of the highest honors you can have as a mayor. For one year, she’s America’s mayor. It’s a very powerful position.”

She’s obviously not doing any mayor-type stuff in Baltimore, so she has plenty of free time.

What a sad comment on the conference of mayors. Are they all with misshapen craniums and damaged neurons?

Up is down, right is wrong, black is white, patriots are terrorists, white crime matters more, unqualified people get jobs and education, flags come down due to an unrelated incident. Just another day.

"Membership: 1,309 United States cities with populations of 30,000 or more"

Okay, if membership is limited to just mayors of large cities with insurmountable problems, that explains it.

“A group that influences national urban policy”

Maybe she can help San Francisco figure out where people are crapping on their sidewalks.

How do you measure that? By volume or frequency?

I have the solution.

Just put a photo of Hillary on the sidewalk. That gives them a target.

On second thought, the crap is better than her photo.

She did not “watch” her city explode.

#1. It’s not “her” city.

#2. She did not “watch” it explode. She helped it explode. In fact, she insisted it explode.

“She’s been elected by her peers,” said USCM CEO and Executive Director Tom Cochran.

Then her "peers" are total dumb asses...or they are sycophants that think that if they snuggle up to the "famous black woman", some of it will rub off on them.

They should be careful of what they wish for.
