We are honestly shocked Mayor Karen Bass has not already resigned. Ok, she's a Democrat so the odds of her actually taking responsibility are really low, let alone her being accountable, but in a common sense world Bass would have already lost her job. Just when we think things can't get any worse we find out from her own people that she was attending a cocktail party while L.A. burned.
Of course, said staffer pulled the pictures showing her presence at the party but by that time we'd already seen them. Honestly, the fact he/she/it pulled them only makes Bass look worse:

Justine Bateman with a simple yet poignant question:
What are we doing with these people running our city? https://t.co/QIeJmv21XD

Seriously, what is L.A. going to do about Bass? She's obviously not going to do the honorable thing, the right thing, and step down so do they recall her? Can she be charged for negligence knowing how much she cut from the fire department's budget?
What happens next?
Good thing the internet is forever lol. https://t.co/g3Bnl0AO3f

Awww yes, there are the pictures ... in case you were wondering what they looked like.
As we said, the Internet is forever.
I don’t know why they’re still in their seats. I really don’t.

I’m hoping that next week, both Gavin Newsom, and Karen Bass are gone. I hope President Trump sends a team to CA to deliver the type of message to Newsom and Bass that results in them walking away in shame
We will finally have REAL leadership in D.C. starting next week so maybe something will change in California although with Newsom and Bass still in place, we don't see how.
Its hard to hold people accountable when they all are corrupt.
