So when is Jenny Durkan going to be on trial (Republic: homes, calculation)

[UserNam3]

If they’re going to repeatedly charge Trump for what happened January, 6th, this lady deserves worse! How long did it take for them to resolve what happened on January 6th? One day. Those people occupied a police station for a week. This lady told the police department not to arrest them, and cost the city millions of dollars more in damage than the thing January 6th.

Trump actually activated the National Guard while the riot was happening, while the Governor of Washington didn’t do s***, and said they were peacefully protesting. Why didn’t they do anything to protect the people from getting their stored smashed in and their stuff stolen? AND allow the police to defend themselves! Logical and rational responses only please.

Durken sux but....

Comparing indictments of DJT is apples and oranges.

I suppose it's comparable to why they don't charge Presidents for foreign policy mistakes, but they do impeach for coercing a foreign power to influence an election. Does that make sense? Sure, in retrospect it might seem like a questionable tactical decision on Durkan's part, but it wasn't an illegal behavior; she was performing the duty of the office. Of course, we may not have the full picture of why the decision was made.

Not even in the same ballpark, Durkan’s miscalculation and Trump’s focused attempt to subvert democracy.

Trump doesn't have a prayer of winning in 2024. I don't think this country will ever see a Republican president again.

Even CNN has admitted the indictments have only emboldened Trump's lead. To go after him on petty technicalities, specifically while he's re-running, is pure desperation.

As a former Democrat-now-independent (definitely-not-Republican) you can't say Democrats are any less guilty from subverting democracy. By making the voting laws less stringent and disenfranchising actual citizens, conflating compassion with lawlessness, it's no wonder January 6th happened.

If you've diversified your news sources, you would know that they have not provided any actual evidence that he's incited violence. The orange buffoon is irresponsible, but the reality is, he did say "peacefully." And the fact that CNN cut his statements short just before he used that word should make you trust that news source even less. I'm not advocating for Fox either. Just please, do some due diligence.

Upwards to a million unchecked people have illegally entered our country and are being pushed to the sanctuary cities. Surely you know what that means for the safety of these cities. Look what's happening around you. I would love to live in a world where illegal immigrants would be a gem to our society, but the fact is, these are people who don't follow the rules. It's not the best foot to start on. It's not fair to the immigrants who came here legally. It's not fair to US citizens.

If you've accepted an ideology that's deluded you into thinking you're better than at least half of the US population, please wake up.

As much as I hate the orange man, he did not ask a foreign power to influence an election. He asked them to find the e-mails that were mysteriously lost.

The fact that those e-mails would even influence an election should be your actual concern, right?

Getting back to Jenny...


This is the first I've heard about her since she left mayor's office. So, sadly, I wouldn't know.

[CityWok]

The summer of love only ended when Kshama directed the CHAZ crew to protest at Jenny's property. Unfortunately I can't say race relations have improved much since then, or that I feel any safer today.

All that progress made, now erased. Negligence doesn't even begin to describe it. Good riddance.

How was it possible for her to claim ignorance in this matter:

No one is above the law, right?
