    The odds are not good that Durkan will survive this, but it should be fun to watch how they make foot-dragging and surrender look like bravery and forward-thinking. With unemployment high around there, they should have no trouble finding petitions-passers.

    SEATTLE (AP) — A King County Superior Court judge has approved a petition for an election to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.

    The Seattle Times reports the ruling Friday on charges filed by a group of five people last month comes after weeks of local protests against racism and police brutality — sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

    Once any recall petition is approved, signatures are needed to qualify for a special election ballot. The petitioners must, within 180 days, collect valid signatures from a number of voters equal to 25% of the votes cast in the last election. In this case, signatures from more than 50,000 Seattle voters would be needed.

    I wish them luck. Durkan comes across, as do many wokesters, as a self serving, egotistical, twit with delusions of grandeur.

    Seattle Mayor Jenny "Summer of Love" Durkan's city’s residents are so fed up that they’ve kicked off an effort to recall her from office.

    So, if the mayor gets recalled, liberals will learn a wrong lesson - that they should not employ crowd control equipment.
    How effed up is that?

    But yeah - the real story is the basis on which it's being allowed to happen.

    Democrips and Republibloods - these are the two parties/gangs...

    Seattle conservatives dislike her for not putting a stop to the stupid crap in the first place. The socialists and commies dislike her for not letting the stupid crap go even farther. Very interesting...

    Sounds like a subplot out of the film "Network." I went looking for that all-too-prescient take on the black-power crowd but to my utter surprise it wasn't there. Can't imagine why.
