Kouta can't be any worse than most of the previous Mayors, the more dopey you are the more qualified you are for the job..
Re: General Discussions - Micky0 - 08-15-2024
Really went off him when noticed he was liking all Trump family’s’ BS Twitter posts. Unfortunately.

He would be a figurehead rather than doing any figuring and probably couldnt tell you if Trump was a Republican or a Democrat.
Im sure he would mean well though and as I said given whats come before him he might be a refreshing change in a simplistic way...

Agree. It's like giving a 2 year old the keys to the kingdom.

That "policy" statement above is junk.

Couldn't be worse than Sally Cap.

All we can do is make subjective assessment based on what we've seen so far.

That's the motive for the Randoms who apply for the job.
