LA: Who’s Surprised?

The results of the Los Angeles mayoral primary are disappointing to the rest of America but unsurprising. It appears the voters of that great American city are satisfied with surpassing malgovernance as long as the mayor has a (D) behind his or her name.

Karen Bass apparently won a plurality of the votes counted so far. Of course, this is a Blue City, so votes will continue to be counted until the correct result is achieved. Distress comes from realizing that if all the votes for the even more extreme progressive Nithya Raman were added to Bass’s then a majority results.

The only good news is that Spencer Pratt looks likely to make it to the runoff with Bass. This despite voting irregularities already discovered. For example, almost 13,000 votes were counted containing nearly zero votes for Pratt. Considering that an early report had Pratt with a quarter of the vote, this is a statistically suspicious result. Don’t expect any further investigation by authorities suspecting criminal behavior.

Karen Bass has presided over the decline of Los Angeles for almost four years. Fortunately, considering the apparent ignorance and stupidity of the voters, she can be re-elected only once. But, it would be best if she were single-termed.

Bass is famous for being out of the country in January 2025 as wildfires devastated her city in the Palisades and later Eaton. Perhaps because it was such a DEI bastion, she supported the incompetence of the fire department and initially supported its DEI fire chief Kristin Crowley until Crowley was canned in February. Bass takes no credit for demanding the fire department make $67M budget cuts which would have shut down 16 fire stations. She doesn’t look in the mirror to see who is responsible for negligent fire prevention policies or empty reservoirs.

This is what happens when you replace Americans with invaders. That is also how Mamdani won. The invaders naturally want more free stuff and politicians who will protect them from remigration.


Also what happens when American citizens are too timid to speak out against the invasion.

Dying to be nice....Suicidal Empathy.

Maybe Pratt, if he makes it to the next step, should claim he is now running as the True Democrat!

The Mayor Bass campaign slogan is “Let me finish the job!”

Lots more residential housing to clear!

By the time they finish counting all the “ballots” Bush and Noodles will be the two running in November. Pratt doesn’t stand a prayer of making it.

One has to understand that the mass exodus of normal (republican) people from California has a nedative impact on election outcomes. In those rare cases where it doesn’t, cheating will take care of it. Big cities are hopeless in any case.

They currently estimate that there could be 700,000 uncounted ballots just in LA.

DJT and his team had & has the California voter fraud in their crosshairs waiting for this election. The dirtbag politicians in CA involved in the voter fraud for decades should have known they would be investigated and looked at under a microscope during this primary. When DJT says “We Have It All,” he wasn’t bullshitting anyone. The DJT team knows how the CA RATs have been cheating in CA for decades. What is going on right now is the trap being slammed shut on CA RATs. It’s painful to watch, however, the voter fraud perpetrators will be exposed. DJT said CA is RED and he has the proof.

These two EOs will send many nationwide to prison and/or GITMO (or some other black prison) for tribunals. Their assets will be seized as well. NewSCUM is up to his eyeballs with the CCP BTW.
