Washington’s Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected a recall effort against Seattle Mayor Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan over her handling of widespread summer protests.

The recall effort, led by six Seattle residents, blames the mayor for the Seattle Police Department’s indiscriminate use of tear gas during weeks of protests against racial injustice and police brutality sparked by the police custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The System protects the System against the Citizens. Just as Stalin conducted war against the Soviet people when he ruled. The Democrat Party wage war against the American people where they rule. But people continue to vote for Democrats, as evil as they are in large numbers.

When liberalism and leftist (narcissist) dominate the various levels and branches of government, no amount of oppression, immorality, and evil will ever satisfy!

The leftist narcissist thug with the biggest club wins.

And “there will be no escape for the innocent.”

They wanted to recall her because the police used tear gas against the protestors.

The west coast is insane.

Gov. Dimslee has had a number of court appointments and they are all Commies like him. It doesn’t surprise me this case was dismissed.

We in Portland have Seattle beat hands down. The leading candidate for mayor was wearing a skirt with Mao, Che Guevara and Stalin it. She says she’s part of antifa and she’s leading the current pro antifa mayor by 11 points.

Apparently I have to write in someone decent who obviously has no chance.

The issue was the civil rights of protesters were violated by using tear gas during a pandemic. Nothing about the lack of effort to protect property rights during rioting, or allowing a part of Seattle to be taken over by leftist thugs, which from my perspective are the real issues. If anything, the supreme court decision was more of a victory for those opposed to Antifa and their allies.

I suspect those considering a recall for the more substantial issues were intimidated and did not follow through.

Everything leftists touch turns to shit.
They have turned Portland into a lawless, warped cesspool.
It used to be a nice city, but it’s dead now.

Yeah, I’m half expecting the ground to open up and swallow Portland before the election.

I hope you get out if it does.

"The newest way to vote, is with your feet."
Heh. Good one. Of course if you have liberal tendencies you'll want to go to New York City - lots of vacancies.

If you're a Constitutional Conservative come on down to Florida - you'll be welcome. Its basically 50/50 here - even including the independents.

Offices are often won with only a few votes. Oddly they're almost always democrats who win.

The dogcatcher job is even contested but the DEM always wins.

"Can’t wait for hunting season."

In Florida there's no bag limit on varmints (Coyotes) so its probably in the Constitution nationwide.

Good hunting. ;-)

It is very well-known at the Washington State Supreme Court how much I hate those corrupt bastards/bitches; and they are. If you called them and mentioned my name, they would know exactly who you were talking about.

That said, this was not a basis under Washington Law to permit a recall election; and I have said so from the beginning.
