Just another day in New Orleans (1 Viewer)

That's because Landry basically ran unopposed. Although there were technically other candidates on the ballot, nobody seriously considered that any of them had a chance beyond collectively forcing a run off, which didn't even happen. It's pretty pathetic that someone as clearly terrible as Landry basically ran unopposed.

Follow the sequence of events of what occurred with the Republican Party from that last election. Unopposed is not the correct word.

I mean, I know there was some competition in the Louisiana Republican Party that Landry crushed with money connections, but in the end there was no opposition and all of them are now running scarred or cowering like little puppies unwilling to challenge him in the legislature. And the state Democratic Party is more or less non-existent at this point.

Tells you about the electorate.

Me trying to figure out if you mean the dolts electing Laundry... Or the derps electing LaToya....

Voter apathy is a huge problem, but I also get that you can only be served rancid goat arse so many times before you just decide to abstain.

Yes...

Last in every thing good, top of every thing bad, this is how Louisiana is forever going to be. Georgia and Texas have been eating Louisiana's lunch for years now and even under John Bel. If you're young and not attached to a wife and kids or elderly parent situation, you need to leave this state.

I'd sign up for another 8 years under John Bel Edwards over this clown.

No what I’ve made clear is that JUST Cantrell bashing is disingenuous
And it often turns into an unfortunate Trojan horse

The difference is that it's the partisan politics that is verboten. I think it's pretty clear that discussion of Cantrell, or Mitch, or Nagin is not imbued with the D vs R stuff.

And that's what we warned him about. So our church is Andrea Jefferson's family church. She's Catholic, Bill's Baptist, but he spent a lot of time there and one by one we watched as folks clung to him fall prey to that power trip and pay for it. When Ray said he had to leave after he got elected (he started attending St. Peter Claver in the city), we knew it wasn't going to end well.

I was a political science major (many, many decades ago!) , and my Irish Channel grandmother told me that if I ever got involved in New Orleans politics she would stop talking to me forever...and I was her favorite.

The only politician she ever liked was Jimmy Fitzmorris.

It's number 1, right?

Yes, in Bizarro World

Yup. It was forced on me, and then after living and working elsewhere I could never imagine going back in a professional context.

Lol. I grew up in the Irish Channel myself. Attended St. Mary's Church as a kid.

Not specific to NOLA but impactful all the same…

In your Breakdown: the Louisiana Legislature has passed a bill limiting liability to drivers who push through people illegally blocking the street.

admittedly we’re on this ice with this one, but I wish I could see some analysis in this legislative session that weighed the intended benefit vs intended harm of these laws passed - it feels like something close to 80% intended to harm

Please please help others remember that crime had already reversed before these cowboys came to town
