When Rep. Karen Bass ran for mayor of one of the largest cities in the country, the only thing she had run before was a community organizer group. Her only qualifications for public office were seniority. She had spent enough time in Congress that she felt entitled to go for it. Around this same time, her more idiotic colleague, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, tried a mayoral run in Houston and Rep. Barbara Lee intends to try to take over Houston. Biden had raised Bass’ profile by considering her for VP, only to turn her down over her ties to the Castro regime in Cuba. Giving her Los Angeles was a kind of consolation prize.
Some have taken to blaming LA for electing Bass, but even well before the election a lot of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maria Shriver had gotten off the train and had endorsed Rick Caruso. It didn’t really matter. Caruso won the majority of votes on election night, but then the ballot harvesters poured in their total.
Rep. Bass might not have much experience at running a city, but she had been a longtime member of the network of community groups that excel at voter outreach, voter turnout, and some more dubious stuff.
Along the way, Bass promised to be more moderate, and for a Castro fangirl, she was, which still meant complete mismanagement, an obsession with DEI, and little interest in actually doing the work full-time.
LA Mayor Karen Bass promised voters before being elected that she would not travel abroad — only to be caught gallivanting around Ghana when the worst wildfires in the city’s history broke out last week.
Just a year before she took office, Bass pledged to the New York Times that if elected, “Not only would I of course live here [in Los Angeles], but I also would not travel internationally — the only places I would go would be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco and New York, in relation to LA.”
The former congresswoman was addressing questions about her previous globe-trotting as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.
But Bass has since broken that promise at least five times this year alone, including when critics say she skirted her duties back home by recently traveling to Africa for Ghana’s presidential inauguration — as LA’s devastating wildfires broke out.
The Santa Ana winds were a known factor that Bass should have prioritized over a completely unnecessary junket. And reports are that being in Ghana slowed down LA’s emergency declaration, delaying federal aid during a crucial window.
Bass’ Ghana trip may have delayed the response, tangled up resources and ended up costing lives and while the full toll of victims is unknown (it currently stands at 24), quite a few of the named victims in the Altadena area are black. After all the lectures about equity and systemic racism, Bass’ incompetence and entitlement killed black people.
Last I knew, a reported ten thousand homes and buildings burned to the ground.
Karen (perfect name for that incompetent scold) Ass is 100% responsible for the fires.
She’s the ostensible Mayor of LA. The buck stops there.
Jeff- make room for her comrade the Governor of California.
Yes, he’s an incompetent scumbag.
LA Mayor Karen Bass is the only person I know to have told the National Guard troops deployed to prevent looting to “Lock & Lube”.
I might you remind you, Daniel, that Mayor Bass is a woman, and also black. This morning I consulted my intersectionality charts and analyzed the complex framework around which society developed privilege and discrimination for individuals and learned that black women were more negatively impacted. My conclusion, given this information, is that there is no way that Mayor Bass could have known that water and firefighters were needed to put out fires, and therefore the fault lies with white men. These white men, because they are male and also white, do not look like Mayor Bass, so it is their fault.
One of Bidens Guests(Illegal Alien)has been arrested as s Suspect in the Fires so is the
Loud Mouth Bass all ready?
The crazy thing is her deputy mayor was arrested for making bomb threats but she still left
No thinking person understands why LA taxpayers pay for this idiot to go to africa on their dime. Africa has NOTHING to do with governing LA.
A lying democrat? Meh.. That’s the same as saying water is wet. If it weren’t for lies, a democrat wouldn’t have much to talk about The truth does to a democrat what a Carolina Reaper pepper (200x hotter than a Jalapeno or 2.2 million Scoville Units) does to the mouth (it burns!)
Pepper X is even more pedas (hotter) than the reaper. Both were cultivated by the same guy. I guess he wants to burn our mouths off. As if habaneros wern’t hot enough.
Peppers that hot does wonder for the alimentary tract! It’s the equivalent of pouring hot boiling water down a clogged drain. That’s what Carolina Reaper peppers felt like to me! It was a miracle!
After my alimentary tract survived “the experience”, I never felt so clean inside since the day I was born!
Yeah, they’ll make you shit, that’s for sure. I have some reaper hot sauce. Boy is it pedas “hot.”
the 4 horsemen of apocalypse [ sorry horsepersons ] are DEI hires . couldnt have happened to a nicer state . after all that can be said an done , everything will be said and nothing will be done . gavin nero a true champion of the privileged millionaire class .
“When Rep. Karen Bass ran for mayor of one of the largest cities in the country, the only thing she had run before was a community organizer group.” Exactly like Barak Obama when he ran for President.
Haven’t we learned in the last few years that most Democrat politicians lie with impunity and their base support them?
