It wasn’t close. 60 percent of San Francisco voters voted to recall Chesa Boudin, a former public defender who became district attorney in 2019 in a huge win for the progressive/communist left.
Mr. Boudin promised when he took office that “the tough-on-crime policies were on their way out.” However, his tenure saw a massive increase in crime and the San Francisco victims took him out.
SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was recalled Tuesday in a blow to the progressive prosecutors movement.
Voters strongly endorsed ousting the reform-minded D.A. as partial returns showed about 60% of voters supporting the recall, the Associated Press said.
Mr. Boudin and other progressive prosecutors around the country have pursued goals such as sending nonviolent drug offenders to treatment instead of jail, sparing juveniles from being prosecuted as adults and scrutinizing police misconduct.
Political consultants and law-enforcement officials say the recall of Mr. Boudin in this left-leaning city signals a broader voter backlash against the movement amid rising violent crime over the past two years. (read more)
Poop in the streets will do that.
Poop in the streets comes from Poop in government. Califoreigna has become the Poop State under 1 democRat Party Rule.
That the Weather Underground DA has been removed is a hopeful sign of citizen independent thinking at long last.
San Francisco and “independent thinking” seldomly come hand in hand.
You are clearly speaking of the Sanctuary Shit Hole called California. The citizens should have been thinking years ago before this Communist/Marxist even got on a ballot. How long will it take before the damage this Soros stooge did to be corrected to some degree?
Whole lotta slip and fall lawsuits.
A lot of those poops are still alive.
You know all joking aside you are 100% correct. We have all stepped in dog poop and when you do that everything comes to a screeching halt and the only goal is to get your shoe clean. The only thing worse than dog poop is human poop. A first world country of the USA with a city such as San Fran with all its modern infrastructure yet normal people are dodging human poop in the streets.
They even created a city department poop squad where city workers would arrive to clean up the human poop. Imagine the insanity.
‘The San Fran DA’s office is the equivalent of human poop on the street. The damage they have done to the legal system and victims is irreparable.
First World? We may have slipped a bit in the last 2 years..
While the Country slipped in the last 2 years (FJB), San Francisco has been third world like for years.
One time I was paying my property tax (didn’t car to spend the Stamp and City Hall was on my way from Work) and I saw someone near where City Hall used to have a Reflecting Pool but had it torn up to make a large play ground/plaza literally smoking something idential to what Hunter Biden smoked.
Now that wouldn’t be very note worthy except the dude was smoking Crack less than a 2 car lengths from a parked Police Car (no one was in it).
Weatherman bastard putting the sh|t on the street and digging the hole in SF.
Also perfectly LEGAL to walk down the street bare assed naked! Gee why are the youngsters all screwed up in their thinking?
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
H. L. Mencken
San Fran needs a month or two of 90 degree+ heat. That’ll either drive the natives insane with the smell and flies or convince them to outlaw the practice and enforce the ordnances.
That will never happen. Because it gets constantly overrun with Pacific Ocean fog, SF is one of the coolest places in the summer in the US, with just a few hot days when the winds change direction
Yeah I know.
But I can dream, can’t I?
W.C.Fields once quipped that the coldest winter he’d spent was a summer in San Francisco.
He was right.
As an aside, he called Lompoc “the armpit of California”… I think he was a bit too harsh, but given the times…
I thought climate change put a stop to that. /s/
I hate the word, “poop.” I didn’t use it with my own kids or grandkids. I used “#2.” Although I didn’t, I’d honestly rather read, hear, or use “sh-t” or even a proper word like defecation.
It’s also, broken Car windows next to the Poop that drives the matter! (Sadly… I have seen such a combination here in San Francisco.)
I’m sure the citizens that saw to his recall will see to it a slightly less incompetent and immoral buffoon will take his place.
Still nice to see people like Chesa get fired tho.
These “citizens” will no doubt still export the face-lift-eyebrow-high malignant crone to bedevil the rest of us.
Given their animus toward the rest of the country, would not have been particularly displeased to see this Chesa chigger remain, as it seems like they should experience what they want for the rest of us.
This is too grumpy – sorry I posted it. Pelosi has so undone our customs, that I let myself over-indulge my dismay at her behavior. Repeat – this was over the top. Self rap on my knuckles
Naw. I think it was 100% accurate. All that fine wine and delicious produce from CA isn’t quite enough to make up for that export.
No. It wasn’t grumpy at all.
It was truth.
Don’t back down when calling out the enemy. You said what needed to be said. Don’t take it back. We are in for the fight of our lives. Give them hell.
Now maybe LA denizens will vote to remove this idiot Gascon from the DA office.
That is true.
The Asian community is turning on progressives.
Long past due.
Which of the Communist/Marxist universities of California will gladly hire and pay this Soros stooge a large sum of money so he can indoctrinate more gullible students? Boudin needs to be locked up with George Soros or executed. He is a disease.
It’s good & it’s bad.
Good: Even in very-left wing cities voters reject Marxists.
Bad: voters don’t know Marxists ARE Marxists until they’ve so completely destroyed the city that voted for them that there’s no doubt.
Well said. This is what happens when you have voters who are apathetic, ignorant and indifferent. You get the politicians you deserve. Then it takes years to discover how badly you were screwed over by their BS agenda they sold you. Either you get involved in the process with those politicians that you want to lead you or suffer the consequences.
Praying they all go the way of the Dodo!
Given the concomitant vote fraud, I’m guessing the actual number were in the 85/15 range…
This will not stop the Democrat Socialists, though.
By the way, watching Matt Walsh’s “What Is a Woman?” It is outstanding, angering, and heart-breaking.
yea the Dominion wants someone more LEFT but a military VET so they can pull their bullshit they always do.,
Libtards get rid of Litards because they feel something is wrong. However, it is not the same “something wrong” which Conservatives see.
Why didnt Dominion save this one?
They decided to throw the sheep a bone? And….they have someone equally as worthless to replace him. Win-Win.
It’s the 30% rule. They will give the proles a win around 30% of the time. That deflates the suspicion that they have total control of the outcome.
That must be the same formula Roberts uses for the Supreme Court. Give the rubes a win around 30% of the time, of course, not on anything of substance like the 2nd Amendment or forced Coronavirus vaccine mandates!
They’re saving that card for play in November, and the Republicans, with a few exceptions have done nothing about it.
40% of the people in San Francisco are still brain dead idiots!
are we still getting tricked into thinking the election results represent the voters?
It has certainly fooled a vast majority of voters. I can’t believe how easy it was for acceptance of vast 2020 election fraud.
That’s the role of the ruling elite owned media outlets. To sell you the Big Lie and convince you to vote for them, because they really care about you. These Leftists have only one agenda. Accumulate endless power to control you and they also prefer that you are dead. It would make they job easier. Less sheeples to watch over.
MEDIA = Making Everyone Dumb In America.
Even with the support of “shoplifters are us “ , very large constituency in SF , he still lost
But at least 60% are at least temporarily semi-sentient. A start at least.
Visited a service provider and she told me one of her patients is a dear sweet old lady, but a democrat voter, and said sweet old lady said “can you believe these gas prices” and wondered how did they get that high???
Hope she was willing and able to clue that client in on the reasons.
Cuz goodness knows the TV news will not.
Yes. Most criminals don’t vote so I keep asking myself “Who is included in this whopping 40%?”
That’s the real story. Who are these people who voted for Boudin? The same for those the media claims support Jesuit Joe Biden. Who in the hell are they? Bots?
If you ever need to be talked out of your belief in G_D and into Marxism, there is no one better than a Jesuit for that. I speak from 12 years of catholic school experience!
As Michael Savage who lives north of San Fransicko stated back in 2006, >>>> Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Turns out, people don’t like lawlessness.
I always find it an amusing “discussion” with most Libs, atheists, humanists etc. Why and from where do they get the idea that taking another persons “stuff” isn’t cool, and worthy of some serious implications. Who told them that it was wrong?? – why is it wrong?? Why do they even have the concept of “my”??. Unfortunately the “discussion” really never goes much further than “You’re a racist, White supremacist etc” – to which, possibly due to my obviously inferior intellect, I still struggle to see the connection.
People want to believe that government can make life easy and trouble free. Promise them anything and they’ll hand over their money and the burden of sustaining themselves in the paradoxical proposition that is human life.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer scumbag. Except maybe Gascon in LA.
I’m just gonna say it: if someone today offed the guy, I’d cheer. He is literally responsible for many deaths and injuries of innocent people, tourists among citizens.
Next, we recall LA’s commie DA, Gascon.
This guy replaced Gascon! Gascon was born in Cuba and is high school drop out.
Communists all of them in California. You would think coming from Cuba they would no better.
Like Mayorkas
What did they expect!
Jeeze, how crazy.
A guy born in NY gets recalled in California, who by the way had adoptive parent by the names of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, a guy from California goes east to assassinate a SCOTUS Judge. How crazy? Beyond crazy.
I will not be one to say this is California waking up. California is lost, utterly lost.
If we could send back all of them Easterners and Canadians back we’d be fine.
I want my old California (not so old, really, just 25 years back ) back… when we could kick back with Margaritas and we had old fashioned politicians… you know.. plain and simple money grubbers.
A chip off the old Weather Underground block
SF has been anti-law enforcement for decades. SFPD Officers try to get assigned to SFO, to get away from the hostile population. They actually get more support in Bayview/Hunters Point, where people have to contend with major gang activity.
The homeless industrial complex is a major contributor to the problem, they provide high paying jobs to their managers, and kickback a steady stream of cash to politicians.
If you suggest that “homeless” means “drug addicted”, and that homeless should be moved out of the city, and undergo forced treatment, they would howl like demons. But if you suggest that normal people should be confined, and force vaccinated with Covid vax, they would applaud.
The next DA will be a transgender POC. They can’t help themselves.
Look at the Bolsh who replaced Cuomo. We were no friend of him at all, but progs teach us a lesson when we get rid of one of them. They get replaced with someone far worse.
Exactly! At least Cuomo knew the difference between right and wrong. Even when he chose the “wrong” he’d try to keep a lid on things. The fruitcake they have now is a complete Leftist looney!
We went out of the frying pan and into the fire with hochul
How many more of these insane University Faculty Lounge/ LSD ideas do we need to tolerate? It’s WAY past time we pay attention to the crisis in America coming straight from the “well educated” in positions of power! It’s not farmers or truck drivers causing the immigration crisis! It’s not the salesmen of America causing Bidens Ukraine War! It’s not the clerks and admin aides causing the petroleum crisis!
In most cases, it is lawyers or lawyer politicians, think tanks, foundations, high government officials and rich monopolists! Aren’t educated people supposed to be necessary for a civil society, but the more we get, the worse our society gets. PERHAPS our Universities are dumbing down their victims to aggravate civility to the point of chaos? Something is horribly wrong and the educated seem to have no clue what to do. The uneducated “natives” ARE getting restless!
Let’s enjoy the win for the moment. We can rejoin the battle shortly.
DonnyVee: You’re right.
OK., I’m done celebrating. Let’s roll.
Right at your side Bill.
Its time now.
I’ll say the quiet part out loud: The Chinese citizens started a true grass roots campaign to oust the school board and then went after the DA.
I guess Asian citizens and business owners don’t appreciate being robbed, beaten, and having to step over homeless addicts everyday.
If the mayor doesn’t wise up she might get recalled too.
Between them and the conservative Hispanics, CA might have a chance.
Don’t count on it. The Asians here are overwhelming Democrat. They see Rs as white. No more reason is needed.
Well, the Asians have an easy choice. Pick between White Republicans or the Black guy pushing you off the subway platform in front of the oncoming train!
Eventually Asians will be categorized as White too . They are being discriminate against in the same way already.
I suspect there a big plans for him in D.C. W e a t h e r U n d e r g r o u n d never gives up.
This actually shocks me. I guess even San Francisco liberals have a line in the sand.
Not sure this will help CA overall though as the state continues to head in the wrong direction on many fronts. Regular 87 Shell gas is $6.75 a gallon now down at the corner station. All the more reason for me to be LEAVING California on August 1st of this year. YAY
Congratulations, Will! I left Southern California in 2020 after living there for most of my life. I will never go back and have never regretted my decision to leave (due to the politics.) Good luck in your future home.
Thank you!
Congratulations and G_Dspeed to you. May HE who can bless, protect and cause you to flourish!
34.40 precent of San Francisco is asian. 😏
From May 28, 2022
Will Chesa Boudin recall’s ‘unprecedented’ effort courting S.F.’s Asian voters pay off?
https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Chesa-Boudin-recall-Asian-voters-17202298.php
Couldn’t happen to nicer guy ..
Maybe they’ll oust Pelosi too.
“Mr. Boudin promised when he took office that “the tough-on-crime policies were on their way out.” However, his tenure saw a massive increase in crime and the San Francisco victims took him out.”
Very nice way with a phrase.
Isn’t someone we know supposed to be resting?
Democrats have to pretend that they don’t know something!
Recall effort was very successful because of Asian voters in SF.
Leader of Asian movement

if John Yoo married Eunice Yoon, and they had a baby named Yu, she’d be Yu Yoon-Yoo and go on to be an Ames brothers song.
🤣 Cracked me up.
Wayyyy off topic but maybe ad-rem will let me sneak this one by for comic relief….
Ho Lee Chit!
They said Sum Ting Wong
Wonder when this CA. Dem is up for re-election?
Who names their son Chesa?
Terrorists. 😂
Cop killers!
Hopefully no one whose last name is Peake
Lol, can you imagine 🤣?
Married to mr Bay.
Boudin’s no better, it’s a Cajun food, kinda sausagey but not. It’s quite delicious.
Every time I see his name it registers as Cheesy Boudin…
Bombers on LSD?
Bingo! See my comment above! Great minds think alike!
The same kind of idiots who would name their daughter, Kamala. Almost two years ago on the Chris Plante Show out of Washington, D.C., Mr. Plante said that if you look up the word “kamala” in the Finnish language, it means “horrible, vile, terrible, awful”. If you look up the word, “kamalata”, it means crap.
It seems like a lot of these dangerous lunatics end up in Sanctuary Sewer called California.
People who play Scrabble stoned out of their skulls.
Boudin meets my criteria for the type of person that gibbeting was meant to address.
They’ll just elect another Demoncrat.
So LA will have to be San Fran before people start waking up….
It’s already there!
So even gay liberals will only take so much. Good to know.
Even a tapeworm knows to turn away from the pain.
The City, as we call it, is never tough on crime.
Last time I went downtown still a shell of its former vibrant self, small mom and pop bakeries, coffee shops, etc. all closed. Oddly, new members only skater shops open on Market for the techies?
Homeless pushed South of Market by a new civilian no-bid security crew. Mixed results.
Tourists staying away for various reasons has to kill the tax revenues. Newsom and Obama will help.
Bay views still incredible, families still flee the city, as it becomes more and more childless. Two new parks – one near the Golden Gate – wonderful.
Car theft through the roof, open drug dealing on Market Street by the dozens, and pharmacies fleeing. Fentanyl corrosive.
This is a big TWO FOR TWO. Several wacko liberal school board members were recently overwhelmingly tossed out, partly a backlash by Asian American parents.
Sausalito real estate prices must be insane?
Without tourist dollars, SF dies.
Soros $ buys their way in and the left knows they have limited time to inflict as much damage as possible. Read he spent $50MM on 75 slots. Soft on crime DA’s, AG’s, etc. create chaos and embolden criminals.
I just saw this headline: “Blowout losses send signal to Biden: Implications are ominous.”
Wait a minute. You mean people DON’T LIKE higher gas prices, more expensive groceries, and out-of-control inflation?
Well, that’s stupid! What’s the matter with them? It’s just money . . . and food . . . and heating/cooling your home.
Meanwhile, a) nobody’s signaling anything to Biden unless it’s when he can go potty, and b) why bother publishing such things when you can steal as many votes as you need?
Just wait til their “white knights” swoop in to the rescue and restore our “security.” We will long for the ‘good’ old days of Let’s go Brandon. Quid pro Joe is the bandaid they are about to rip off. OUCH
When Karen Bass(spit) becomes the Mayor of LA, I am sure Chesa will have his old job back in new digs.
According to the SF Examiner, SF mayor, London Breed is well below 50% in approval ratings. My understanding that a new DA will be chosen by her and not elected. If true, her political future will be in the toilet if she chooses a Boudin clone
I don’t think she cares…. just watch, in four years she’ll be appointed as Premier in the Sacramentograd Kremlin.
Two words that make me shake— “Progressive Prosecutor.”
They are setting their sites on us and away from the criminals.
Let’s not forget who this evil spawn is:
His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members. When Boudin was 14 months old, both were arrested and convicted of murder for their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink’s robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York. His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.
….and friends with Barack Obama!
No wonder he is all eff’d up. If there was ever a candidate for abortion..
There was NO EXCUSE, NONE WHATSOEVER for San Franciscans to have elected Boudin after they had had George Gascon as the DA of San Francisco from 2011-2019.
Liberals feel they get some kind of social standing by being “open-minded” to the point of stupidity.
That’s right, folks, a city that loves to consider itself “sophisticated,” the opposite of “provincial” is among the most provincial, narrow-minded, uneducated and ill-educated of all places in America.
LA is right behind it.
Of course, the media didn’t help tell Angelenos that Gascon had failed badly in SF but come on, the whole nation saw on tv how the system treated the Mexican illegal who killed Kate Stinle.
Gascon is the worst kind of carpetbagger.
Can we send him to NYC? Like yesterday?
The problem with that election is that no putative replacement was offered.
It is now up to the Mayor to name a replacement. And that, means, very little change for the foreseeable future. Just enough time for the voters to realize they were duped and for the Calimexistan Progressive Machine to anoint the current mayor of San Franciskovich as the Premier of the Soviet Republik of Calimexistan up in the Sacramentograd Kremlin.
Boudin is a scapegoat… the bone thrown to sooth the voters for three or four years. Just watch him become the next State Attorney General.
Coming soon to your neighborhood voting booth: California Elections: The Revenge Of The Dominion Machines.
Years ago I found his book about his youth in Central and South America at the local dump. I had some youthful misspent years down there as well so I thought it sounded interesting. I read the whole damn thing and the deeper I got into the book the more I disliked the guy. The book sat in my shelves for awhile and every time I caught a glimpse of it I could feel my blood pressure rise. I am loathe to throw out books, but this one finally went into the garbage again. Then the fool emerges years later in San Francisco and I felt my blood pressure rise every time I heard his name. Glad they booted his commie ass.
Democrats love progressive law non-enforcement. However, they expect their neighborhoods be exempted from the lawless Nirvana around them.
That’s exactly how the Elites here in San Francisco see it.
When someone takes a poop on Nancy Pelosi’s house, the Police arrive in a heart beat. But when someone breaks into a car, you can’t call 911 as the system is too inundated to respond so they want you to call the non-Emergency 311 number to take a number on a queue for for some sort of eventual response. That’s the San Francisco Way!
multigenerational Red Diaper Royalty with ultraviolent Weathermen parents and godparents that all should have been execcuted, like law before the 70s.
Can we sell California to another country?
We already did.
Sorrya, erm….. Soros, having caniption fits as we speak. Glorious.
Pre-Pandemic (Around January 2020) I was on the 22 Muni Line going up 16th Street, a woman entered the Bus holding an arm load worth clothing – many had the Security Tags on them. Not to far from the Bus stop was a Ross. She had timed her theft to coincide with the Bus’ arrival.
16th Street here in San Francisco changed since I was a teen. On an over pass for 280 near a UPS Warehouse, it had “COPIOUS” amounts of “Organic WASTE”. And a block before the 16th/Mission Bart Station there were Homeless Camping out.
While Boudin wasn’t the start of this degradation of San Francisco, he was the end of the beginning.
Also it didn’t help that instead of defending himself in a calm and rational manner, which would have at least stunted the wound, he blamed the Recall on “Republicans.” A tactic that might have worked if it weren’t for the fact that only less than 10% of San Franciscans vote Republican.
If the case were made on an emotional level (which is how Liberals process information) a small “semblance” of Law and Order could return, but part of me is cautiously optimistic…but my gut says be ready to be disappointed.
The WSJ is pathologically incapable of understanding the stupidity of this statement:
“ Voters strongly endorsed ousting the reform-minded D.A.…”
There is nothing good or decent about this communist, and the voters clearly see it. Reform-minded is an attempt to cast him in a favorable light.
Then there’s this:
“ Mr. Boudin and other progressive prosecutors around the country have pursued goals such as sending nonviolent drug offenders to treatment instead of jail, sparing juveniles from being prosecuted as adults and scrutinizing police misconduct.”
That’s just a flat out lie. An honest report would correctly state that the voters see this lie for EXACTLY what it is.
What these prosecutors have been doing is turning a blind eye to crime, endorsing especially crimes by blacks, and leaving whites unprotected in their homes and communities as a central element of the communists’ anti-white pogrom.
