This woman was probably not drunk. She is part of that society that wears those pink hats and howl at the moon when their candidate loses. She is sorry because she got caught. There are grades of insanity. Thump supporters must be careful. This woman only made a verbal attack. Kino Jimenez resorted to a physical attack on a 16 year old. Then we have James Hodgkinson who shot Rep. Steve Scalise. You don’t know how crazy one of these people is. Maxine Waters and others advocating these actions should be prosecuted. It is similar to shouting fire in a theater. These have been many cases of violence not covered by the media.

That’s what Maxine TOLD me to do!” (kelly burke)

Right?

Pretentious shit. She should have just resigned outright and the whole thing would have gone away.

Then a sweet-faced older woman named Sally McCandless, who has lived in the neighborhood for 41 years and is a retired schoolteacher as well as the wife of a former West U city councilman, rose to her feet.

What total crap! This LONG story basically comes down to this: Poor church-going public servant accidentally makes tiny mistake, and a bevy of evil Trump supporter are out for his scalp.

Councilwoman Kelly Burke harasses teens at a local restaurant - yelling obscenities due to a Trump shirt (”quoting Trump” was her defense, the “grab her by the P&&&&Y” comment. Yes, she actually yelled that in the restaurant; at least read the first couple hundred words of the article for the meat of what really happened) , doesn’t resign, doesn’t sincerely apologize, whines about all the negative press and gets a writer to paint her as a victim.
She’s still a Councilwoman.

There: That’ll be $100. I take PayPal.

[I]Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin... Almost every major city in Texas is solid blue. [/I]

They might be, but those of us outside of those blue enclaves far outnumber the fools in those cities. Also, like most blue cities there are a limited number of conservatives that live there. Fortunately, we aren’t like NY or CA where the city elites far outnumber the rural mainstream conservatives.

The Leftist was foolish, then the Trump mom was foolish to go on social media.
Seems like social media is what really escalated the whole foolish affair.

I don’t understand the whole need to go on social media and bare all their open nerves that some people cannot seem to resist.

It’s some kind of compulsive disorder.

I’l vent my silly comments here on freerepublic because it fullfills a certain compulsion but, it’s safe to just walk away because it’s anonymous.

That smiling blond lady in the picture of post #59 is the face of the enemy.

She wants to take away your Second Amendment rights. If you read her Twitter page she is also an open border advocate.

She won't admit it, but she hates us and wants pain and suffering upon us because we voted for Donald Trump. That's how cold-hearted libs are: if you don't think and vote the way they do, than you are subhuman, a racist Nazi and you don't deserve any respect, civility or decency. Your children can be cursed at in public and that is their right.....because they are the true believers in the SJW war against America. You have no rights in their minds and they will destroy you if and when they have the chance.

Take a good look at the enemy because they are everywhere among us and just waiting for their chance.

Lock and load; be prepared to defend yourself wherever you are in today's America.

Try as they may, they could not paint her as sympathetic.

Apologize privately and publicly, resign, then shut up entirely for a year.

That was the only the path to take. The follow up snark demonstrates the original mistake was not just a rare impulsive moment, but that she's gripped by TDS. Would she have responded that way to a Bill Clinton shirt? No. It's TDS, has nothing to do with #MeToo or women.

They are all trapped in a mass hallucination. Liberals are in general followers, easily hypnotized having neither God in most cases nor a rational discernment process, and the media and the Dem leadership has been swinging the watch in front of their faces for years. They are deeply deeply hypnotized.

They are entirely incapable of challenging their own emotionally based beliefs, which are now the pure dogma of an angry religious cult that neither has any idea its religious nor a cult. That is, totally un-self-aware. Blind and sleep walking, in a nasty dream.

They are entirely unaware that they are generic participant prototypes of history's endless cycle of farce followed by farce followed by tragedy (Steyn) ... weather it be Nazi or Communist or all the flavors of Big Government tyranny.

They don't know that they are history's followers reincarnated in the 21st century, that there is a witch hunt on, that there are no witches, and that they are the zombie farmers stomping through the corn fields, hills and forests hunting witches to burn.

Blind, sleepwalking, self-righteous, burning eyes, ignorant, zero self awareness or awareness of others, delusional. And in each case, convinced they are the very models of the opposites of each of those traits.

It's like the sixth sense "they don't know they are dead," but in this case, they don't know they are the fascists, the nazi's, the hysterical witch hunters ... history's mobs.

The mob never knows it's the mob. That's how mass hysteria happens and repeats. Even if they taught history in schools, and even if these people had read it, and even if they had a rational thinking tools to process it free of the omissions and propaganda, they wouldn't know that they are the mob, so convinced are they that they are the good guys, the heroes, the ones who will finally make everything right in the world.

One would think Mr. History Of Man would be bored of this story, but no, he seems to like to hear it once every era before he goes to bed at night. Then he wakes up and creates the same mischief all over again.

Sally McCandless seemed clueless to the culture divide and the cultural war currently going on, whipped up by the left of course. I do agree though that a recall is stupid. Just wait until the election and vote her out and in the mean time watch her closely, real closely, real real closely, make her meetings miserable to where she does not want to got to meetings closely. But be polite of course and don't be stupid about it like the left is.

In general I never favor recalls as I believe they rely too much on emotion. There are already checks and balances in place to get rid of genuinely bad individuals. Usually.

He said "...if you're a star, [like Hillary!'s friend Harvey Weinstein, or Hillary!'s husband Bill, or Democrat senator Al Franken, or Democrat congressman John Conyers] you can..."

Exactly right as the left's own #MeToo movement showed.

Kellye said herself her mother taught her she had to take her lumps when she got caught misbehaving.

She showed in that line that her ability to reason is subject to her emotions, she demonstrated a lack of self-control and judgement, and she doesn't have the temperament to be on a city council.

She should resign, then she can be forgiven.

You are upset that the Trump mom went on social media?

That’s how this hard-line leftist got outed.

Well worth it.

The headline makes it sound like the fault lies with the wearer of the Trump shirt. Kellye the council woman was at fault and she’s not sorry she yelled pussy to the 14 year old.

I don’t either. Social media can give anyone a platform and for some reason some folks think we actually want to hear them. In days past you had to drag your soap box down to the town square. Now you can just sit on your butt and type away. Like me.
