Has America ever had a more crazed mayor than Seattle's Jenny Durkan?

It's no longer big news that Black Lives Matter, Antifa, anarchists, sex offenders, and criminal opportunists seized a six-block area in Seattle's chi-chi Capitol Hill district.

The same people who protested against Trump's walls built walls around their Utopian paradise, the gun-haters armed themselves, and the ones decrying identification at elections demand identification for anyone seeking to enter the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (or CHAZ). Most mayors would be horrified, but not Jenny Durkan. She likes it.

The Capitol Hill district is a densely populated area known for its counterculture and LGBT communities, in sync with the 87% of Seattle's population that supported Hillary in 2016. It's in this neighborhood that BLM has brought forth a new nation, dedicated to the proposition that all black people are created better than everyone else (because only their lives matter).

Donald J. Trump

Radical Left Governor JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

Mayor Jenny Durkan

Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker.

As far as Durkan is concerned, there's nothing wrong with armed men fencing off a part of the city, systematically destroying its property, and committing extortion against residents and businesses. This is about "community" and "self expression." These people are patriots!

Moreover, CHAZ isn't about anarchy; it's about grief, but Trump is just too dumb to understand.

Mayor Jenny Durkan

One of the things the President will never understand, is that listening to community is not a weakness, it is a strength.

Harvey Milk. He was a pederast and he had sex with Reverend Jim Jones.

That’s funny. I was just mentioning to my brother this morning that in ordinary times Durka-Durka would be considered an extremist leftist but nowadays she’s positively moderate in comparison to the loonies running amok!

LA Mayor Eric Garshitti coined the phrase “Unhoused Neighbors” to refer to homeless bums.

Called his PD “killers” this week

Ran for president went to Iowa to explore and got hooted out of the state. Imagine a prime metrosexual in the farm belt

When Jerry Brown let 10,000 inmate soul early, some violent most to LA County and city, the gentry in Beverly Hills got a little ticked off at the increasing crime, especially burglaries. The complaints reached Garshitti’s ears. he responded “we should thank them (inmates let out early) for doing their time.”

His gaffes, weak comments, are the subject of John and ken on KFI radio 640 almost daily M-F They call him yoga pants because he showed up for parers conference wearing tight bike pants.

His solution to the riots?? We must appeals to our better angels, as the mob tore up The Grove a major shopping center which draws tourists as one of LA’s attractions.

No he’s into defunding the cops or taking 150 million away from the police budget for soft and touchy feely appeasement programs for the mob.

You may not know that LA is considered underpoliced. We have 9,000 but LA is a huge geographic area and more cops, not less, has been on every chief’s agenda since Parker..

Pick another Democrat mayor - DeBlasio in NYC, Lightfoot in Chicago, Breed in SF, Garcetti in LA, the list goes on and on. On any given day you could say the same thing about any of them. Democrats are not fit to govern, but unfortunately they are in positions to do so.

Trump took advantage of his hated status on the left. He attacked the CHAZ occupiers in a tweet, which gives the mayor no choice but to embrace them, even though they’ve blown a big hole in her city.

It must be like pretending you’re happy about growing a third arm from your forehead.

Back in the 1980’s when Jim McDermott - an insane leftist - was getting elected to Congress from downtown Seattle, the Communists would run second behind him, more the doubling the Republican vote...this was during the Reagan years. And in the 30-40 years since, they’ve gone light years further to the Stalinist Left.

When dealing with schizophrenic people, which voice(s) do you listen to?
