  1. Joe Hogsett not only knows how to rationalize, he’s an attorney, a democratic politician mayor, and has the perfect defense, deny, deflect, and project.

    1. I didn’t say he was that smart, he just knows how to use the political and Dem narrative of, deny, deny and deflect until it all passes.

  2. Hogsett always talks about all the great things he wants to accomplish. I have a suggestion: start accomplishing something. Anything! A photo op is not an accomplishment.

  3. It’s way past time for Joe to go. He’s an embarrassment to the city. He needs to focus on getting treatment for his disease. The city deserves much better. I’ve NEVER been impressed with Hogsett, and I’m a Democrat.

  4. Yes, he’s not a good leader.
    Yes, he seems to have created a frat culture.
    Yes, it was inappropriate for him to be soliciting “poetry wisdom” in late evening texts to his young female staffers.
    Yes, it would have been far preferable if those late evening texts had been directed not to young female staffers seeking insights on the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, but instead to his road maintenance team seeking insights on why the city’s streets are still so riddled with potholes in June.

    All of this may be true, and yet . . . the performative nonsense in which the young female staffers engaged during a recent public hearing just put me off completely and actually made me sympathetic to the mayor. And the local news referring to these young performers as “survivors” made me want to gag. Their schtick is not as egregious as the idiotic nihilists and anarchists currently doing their best to destroy Los Angeles, but it was offensive nonetheless.

    I hope these cosplaying children will wake up one day and realize that if they really want to change the world, it would be good to stop being so annoying and tiresome. People who aren’t your avid TikTok followers are sick of your performances.

    1. I love your reference to potholes and roads. That is a huge issue, and it is relevant to the entire state. You feel when you enter Indiana on one of the Interstates.

  5. All the above is true. But reality is if the election was tomorrow, he would be overwhelmingly re-elected. Gotta love that high intellect voter.
