I’m not sure she is hurting her political career. She was never going to be electable statewide, and for the most part this won’t move the needle for the Orleans Parish body politic especially when she has 3 years until she has to run again.

It’s a stupid fight for Moreno, however she could see it as an opportunity to “fight the good fight” and better position herself for a cabinet position if the dems retake the White House.

Mitch used the removal of the confederate statues to do this in his second term, partly due to the profile he received from this he was pencilled in to be head of HUD had Hillary won in 2016.

You could say she has a rough path ahead.

No. I posted that your characterization of the governor demanding that New Orleans operate like the rest of the state as a "declaration of war" was laughably emotional.



The governor's language is juvenile, emotional (your favorite word), unprofessional and demonstrates a total lack of leadership. Why don't you expect more from the leader of our state?

The fact that you are calling me emotional in every single one of your posts for pointing out how petty the governor sounds is quite telling. It's interesting that you haven't responded to any of the multiple presumed male posters who have called the governor petty to call them emotional.

I further offered the opinion that your characterization is even more off base given the acts of New Orleans to attempt to indict the state AG...which is a legitimate "declaration of war".


Using the courts is a declaration of War? Do you feel that way about Republicans who weaponize courts, like the sitting POTUS?

People in New orleans blame Republicans for their problems.


That takes a special person to say that with confidence.

48 of the 64 parishes in Louisiana have declined. NOLA will outlast every parish in the state, so instead of wishing it goes away, wish Louisiana gets it’s shite together so it would prosper. We chase business and industry out of the state.



Like data centers?

You are one.


But okay, the mayor of New orkeans blamed Republicans not getting vaccinated for their low vaccination rate. Trump received 14% of the vote.


Also I lived in Nola for 7 years. Just go anywhere and you will hear it.

The issue is that Landry doesn't want Moreno to fix it, Landry wants to be seen as the person who fixed it.


Landry doesn't want to fix anything. He just wants attention and adulation. He thinks his tweets hold the same weight as Trump's.

All that New Orleans proper has left is that it’s a big tourism draw. Their kids have to leave to find jobs in economic powerhouses like Atlanta and Houston. It’s now an economic backwater that has to cling to suburban parishes to feel remotely relevant.

That may all be true, but the comparison is between NO and the rest of Louisiana.

People here blame our government for our problems. Or they blame no one and just live their lives.

The easiest and laziest politics in the world for a La. governor is to pit New Orleans against the rest of the state.


Landry is an embarrassing goofball.
I have a great inside story, but can’t share it because it would identify a couple of people who prefer to maintain privacy.

LOL, they are not leaving NOLA and heading to other parts of the state. They are leaving New Orleans and the state because Louisiana can’t get it’s shite together and attract businesses and economic opportunity.

As the boats sinks, you are the guy in steerage cheering with malevolent delight that the people in first class have to get in the lifeboats.

How is that blaming Landry for a problem in New Orleans? Which problem did I blame him for?
