The idea that Ops means old people is one of the stupidest ideas that has come out of this entirely stupid fiasco.

Three commissioners flicked off a sign. One commissioner posted the caption "f the ops." You'd think this is the end of the world based on some of the posters here.

These commissioners should absolutely not resign, especially after their apologies. I've forgiven the two sitting commissioners and the three commissioners-elect.

Well, I’ve lost confidence in them. What I see from that photo and prior comments, testimony, and behavior: bad judgment, arrogance, stupidity.

You never had confidence in them to begin with, so no loss.

I don’t live in CP but am subscribed to the listserv digest. I just read all of the posts on the tweet, the apologies, and the responses. The commissioners and commissioners-elect did a very stupid thing that will probably lead to several recall petitions. It’s shocking that not one of these people considered that posting the photo to social media might be a bad idea and no one should be more angry at them for that than those who support their work. All of that said, I did not read a single post that suggested any of those expressing outrage at their behavior was not at least partially motivated by their prior opposition to one or more the commissioners or commissioners-elect.

And it is likely the recall petitions, if they are even filed, will fail. Because most people don't care and don't like the idea of "overturning" elections.

there is only one person who actually posted the image to social media. Only 2 of the 5 in the image "gave the bird".

none of it was acceptable


that said, understand the message that the people who oppose the bike lanes are sending...that their way of life and mode of transportation is more important than anyone else's, and that the people who want to bike safely to places don't have the right to do so, that their lives and safety is simply not important or worthy. So by their words and actions, the people who oppose the bike lanes are de facto giving everyone else the proverbial finger. Look in the mirror and understand why people might be upset about that

Two of the people making the obscene gestures are sitting commissioners who likely will seek to be chair and vice chair of the ANC going forward. That's very concerning.

And yet, they were re-elected.

Maybe the concerning thing is the same thing the GOP is facing. They hold a minority opinion of how things should be but want to flex that minority opinion on everyone else.

Funny that you should say this, considering that the "progressive" ANC commissioners were all endorsed and backed by a resident GOP consultant who seems to have his own "fingers" in matters ranging from ANC redistricting to elections to Smart Growth development.

You keep posting this in a weird way that doesn't make you look good, Leila.

That person keeps posting the same unhinged drivel over and over again. You'd think that after getting absolutely no traction she'd eventually realize how unattached to reality she really is, but she keeps tilting at those windmills.

Reality sometimes has an inconvenient way of intruding on denial and deflection. Each of the "middle fingered" commissioners was endorsed by Cleveland Park Smart Growth and its ubiquitous founder. One of them, Mr. Siddiqui, even tweeted that CP Smart Growth's endorsement meant the most to him, and pledged to the founder that "I will not let you down."
