  1. So what is it this idiot has left to say? That’s he’s changed his mind or is sorry? Puuuulllleeeze. Just go away fool. But man did he play so many people here. Perhaps he’ll have to soon get a real job, or not. He COULD even use his degree and pack a sack lunch and ride a bus. So open minded, it all fell out years ago.

    1. Meanwhile, to everyone else, he’s still our elected representative for the next 10 months. Like him or not, he’s still got a job to do and I’m sorry if that triggers you!

      1. I think we can all agree he did his job well: filling up Ballard with junkies and making us pay for it while giving developers whatever they wanted – and defended by the woke idiots such as yourself who believe in this social justice cult.

          1. Ah good, the tired old “all who disagree with communism are fascists” or “dissent is racism” canard. You guys really have run out of moves here.

          4. excuse me? the only trolls around here are you, bucky, and the one living under the bridge in fremont. if you’d like to have an actual conversation about the above topic, let me know. otherwise, take a look in the mirror.
