BREAKING: Seattle Fights Back – Jenny Durkan Is Done For

(Breitbart) – A King County, Washington, Superior Court Judge has approved a petition for a recall election for Democrat Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.

The Seattle Times reported that the Friday ruling over Durkan’s recent handling of police brutality can proceed, allowing petitioners to start getting enough signatures to get the recall measure on the ballot.

KOMO reported that the plaintiffs behind the petition would have to collect 50,000 signatures before an election can be held.

Maybe, maybe not.  Seattle is a communist/socialist stronghold and may consider her "heroic" for letting the city down. :headbang:

The AP article linked in this blogpost, Judge: Recall Of Seattle Mayor Can Move Forward

https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/07/12/judge-recall-seattle-mayor-can-move-forward/

Quote
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan can’t be feeling terribly popular these days. No matter what she does (or in most cases, what she doesn’t do), people seem to be upset with her. Some of her city’s residents are so fed up that they’ve kicked off an effort to recall her from office. Well, there are multiple efforts, actually, but only one of them has made significant progress. That recall effort was challenged in court by the Mayor, but on Friday a Superior Court judge ruled that the recall effort can move forward, though only one of the original accusations was approved.

Is dated 7/11. And as for the clickbaity headline, "Jenny Durkan Is Done For," that is yet to be decided.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The complaint which survived was that the police had used chemical agents (tear gas/mace) against protesters.

This, oddly enough is being brought from the left.

They need 56,000 signatures, but the twist is that those who want order in the streets and to keep police have an opportunity to get a chance to vote on someone who will support that, provided the recall works.

Based on what I've seen from afar, even if they out the mayor, the city council is just as bad as Durkin, so nothing much gained.  They were all elected, elections have consequences.

Talk's cheap, and we all know the sort in that part of the country.

I'll wait to really share judgement.

I don't know.   Democrats/leftists generally don't go against 'their own'.   They circle the wagons and double down on their leftist stupidity.  Maybe some of them had a miraculous epiphany...?   Will have to check the temp in Hell, if so.

I'm guessing this is more radical leftists deciding that just being a radical leftist isn't good enough.

You're right.   They only nail folks that don't qualify as "leftist enough"..... or folks like Cosby who 'stray' from the party line spew and dare speak le truth.

Let Seattle and Portland reap what they have sown.

They earned it.

And let it stand as a warning to others.

Have a long-time friend that has childhood liberal friends living in Seattle.  Not even a year ago she had stated that she wanted to move to Seattle (it's just so ""beautiful"")...and why didn't I come, too.  We could be roommates.   I was aghast, needless to say.  Told her that I wasn't leaving Texas, but if I ever did... it sure as hell wouldn't be moving to that leftist s-hole.   She recently admitted how right I was.  Finally.   *****rollingeyes*****

Lots of beautiful stuff in SF, but I've been avoiding as best I can for almost 4 decades - loony politics even before the "homeless" became sacred and free-range.

Interestingly SF isn't in the news much regarding the violent "protest" front.

So which Democrat will they replace this Democrat with?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Let's suppose... just suppose... that Durkan gets recalled.

A new election will be held for mayor.

I wouldn't be surprised if that out-and-out Indian-immigrant communist gal (can't remember her name, but she's on the city council, she's the one that unlocked City Hall so the chaz invaders could occupy it) runs for the office.

...And wins.

If that happens they will have their little communist utopia.  :pop41: 

One would hope that the rest of the country would not dive headlong into that abyss, but it's hard to say.
