I'm unable to watch, have to sneak to the door to get a signal just to post. I can't see how something like this can pass, but I wonder just how many meetings like this are set to take place or currently are across the nation. Certainly our left leaning members cannot be in favor of something this draconian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local Marxist profs might be all happy finally be living the communist dream they've waited for but the poor oiks that serve the town's basic needs are not going to be happy. This will be a textbook illustration of unintended consequences. And when in a few onths they are not bulldozing bodies into mass graves...

lockman Posted March 13, 2020 at 04:51 PM Share Posted March 13, 2020 at 04:51 PM If the Mayor proclaimed such power, then the removal of such "officials" by what ever means necessary would not violate the law, as the constitution and rule of law are suspended by such "official". Removal of such "officials" would restore the constitution and rule of law. Kind of harkens the old tree of liberty adage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
