The rumblings I heard did not specify the nature of the threat, but if it were a possible boycott, a common tactic of the left, then beating a hasty retreat would be the path of least resistance.

If Fritz's business is being threatened, it is safer for him to be on the council than off it.
In my opinion, Brabo's business would already be shut down if she wasnt Mayor. Tho I do believe she has lost control over her Mayorship. Letting the 3 avengers run roughshod over Davis was a disgrace. They took Davis' HRC position away, then tried to nominate Tyre to it. He begged his way off, whining that he was already a liaison for 2 committees. Well suck it up buttercup bec u guys are now going to have to double down on committee jobs.

Concerned Taxpayer, In Nick Fritz Facebook post, he defended Sadler and Tyre. WHY? Does anyone know?
I will never forget Tyre telling a constituent: "If you dont like how we do things, hire a lawyer."
Well Brabo did and look at the mess that has caused. She had to do it, unlike most of us) because she had a business to defend. So I dont blame her at all.
I know that Perreault was calling for everyone to be a team player. Well, I cant forget that is what manager Russell was doing right after he demoted the police chief...calling that demoted police chief a team player.
Those are all peculiar things to me. Or i should say personnel CONTROL strategies by govt.

Councilman Fritz said: "Democracy is a sham.
The government is run by a bureaucracy. Department’s decide what they think is best, they set their own budgets and formulate their own recommendations."

Ya'll didnt just think that the bureaucrats were going to simply rollover and play dead did ya?
Divide and conquer is a good gameplan and it looks like that was played. Someone got to Perreault who promptly sided with Horton and Tyre, who (Tyre) dominated all the meetings with rig-a-ma-roll, making simple folks heads explode, and/or feeling like the world has gone mad.
The first week of the new council should have been to fire all the Dept heads and replace all the rot on the committees...(people who have been on these for many years, playing like Gods.)

80% of Americans support the SAVE Act and that turncoat Tillis is still helping block it. He is nothing but an Undocumented Democrat.

Clearly joining a teachers union is little different than joining Democrat Socialists of America.

The NEA teachers union has been pushing students to walk out of class in opposition to enforcement of immigration laws, and so have some of its state affiliates. They have put out communications supporting this activity and even funded it. There are planned student walkouts for May Day which is tomorrow and some reports of them starting today. This is radical leftwing behavior that fits the Democrat partisan agenda. Honorable teachers would never promote students to leave class for radical political protests but these despicable teachers unions DO.

Steed: You're in a massive state of denial, dude.

You have no idea about Psychological Operations or Psychological Warfare. Hell, you don't even know you're a Christian Zionist!

A federal grand jury in North Carolina has recommended that disgraced FBI Director James Comey be indicted for inciting violence against President Trump, a president that Comey vilified as a prominent tool of the Non Patriot Left, by perpetrating the Russia Hoax; an infamous black mark against the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, and the Democratic Socialist Party at large.

I am proud of my state for playing its part in the recognition that justice must be blind.

The key test of this city council will be the tax cuts. Taxpayers need to see at least a 5 or 6 cent cut. A 1 to 3 cent cut would be only window dressing and this council would have failed.

I am concerned about Max Perrault being too chummy with the current leader of the corrupt tax-and-spend Sadler machine. What is going on there?

So...anyone who questions the narrative is a "hard left conspiracy theorist", Steed?

You better think about that one again, man.

Your response sounds like one your boy, Keith Kidwell, would make.

One thing the RNC and Republican officials:are sidestepping:

Common sense conservative-leaning folks, on both sides of the aisle and under the age of 45, overwhelming feel that these "assassination attempts" are staged and meant for distraction; when people start asking hard questions, something "stupid" always seems to happen and it's always the same ol' tired backstory.

Again, as I've said before, the Warhawks and the Bizarros are freaking out because voters under 45 are burning them at the stake....across the board. Trump is trying to find a way to keep the GOP from imploding or.....maybe it's supposed to implode???

It ain't that far fetched.
