Karen Bass, the World’s Least Sympathetic Scapegoat
NRO ^ | 13 Jan 2025 | Jeffrey Blehar

Posted on 01/14/2025 2:37:26 PM PST by Rummyfan

But she isn’t the real answer to questions about who bears responsibility, and Gavin Newsom is well aware of it.

I can think of few healthy, un-incarcerated people in this world I would less prefer to be right now than Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass. Admittedly the reasons for this are overdetermined -- I would never want to live in L.A., for one thing. (Also, I would no doubt regret suddenly becoming stupid.) But mostly it’s because I am not a zombie, whereas Bass has joined Joe Biden amongst the legions of the walking dead: Deceased politically, even if she doesn’t know it yet. I wouldn’t trade a bucket of warm sputum for her future prospects -- why take lesser value ...

DEI black women in power everywhere are epic fails. Every one of them. The list is practically an encyclopedia now.

People who know nothing about running a municipality but are apparatchiks.

Apparatchik: Members of the apparat (apparatchiks or apparatchiki) were frequently transferred between different areas of responsibility, usually with little or no actual training for their new areas of responsibility.

She’s a Democrat apparatchik. That’s why she was in Ghana representing Biden.

That’s right. She’s a dedicated Marxist and deserves only the very worst.

One of the idiot commenters on the NRO site states that Malibu and Pacific Palisades are seperate municipalities and that she’s a scapegoat for things she’s not responsible for because she’s a black woman. WRONG. Malibu is a separate city; PP is not. Idiot libs. They just say whatever comes into their imbecile heads, without regard to whether it’s true or not

She isn’t a scapegoat, she flat out failed in her responsibilities and everyone incompetent over payed DEI POS failure was picked by her. Newsom is also a POS and has plenty to answer for, but the empty reservoir, 117 million gallons empty, and the inoperable fire engines, cuts to the FD budget are all on the marxist Bass.

Bass has reached and surpassed the level of her incompetence

She climbed Congressional ranks carving out her niche as “International Black Woman of Influence” with the House Foreign Relations Africa Subcommittee and head of Black Caucus, and general leftist big-mouth.

But its easy to hide from responsibilityin a group of 435 people, always having the race-card in one’s pocket, and while standing on the bully-pulpit

NOW she has (or at least, was supposed) to make decisions about water supply, managing a fire-department, gathering real resources, etc...

And her DEI bullish** is of no use.

Isn’t anybody getting tired of electing all these black women with big mouths? Geez. It’s like a huge herd of ex-wives and baby mamas.

Patiently waiting to see her next job in politics. I’m sure “The bitch set me up guy” is a good example.

“ DEI black women in power everywhere are epic fails. Every one of them. The list is practically an encyclopedia now.”

Isn’t that the truth. The dumb ones go with the flow, that’s why they install that particular type of person. It is not like there aren’t intelligent minority candidates. They only desire to support the malleable ones…the ones looking for their ticket but have the bare minimum to pull off the responsibility. Not too dumb but most certainly not too intelligent. In the end it make the USA look ridiculous and easily subdued.

There’s a scene in the series ‘Chernobyl’ where the scientist is trying to explain to the Deputy Secretary the danger. “I am a nuclear physicist, you worked in a shoe factory.

“Yes, I worked in a shoe factory and now I’m in charge. To the workers of the world’

Chernobyl was such an excellent series. Everyone should watch it as a warning to what is coming… or what is already here: Atlas Shrugged Part 3.
