Really? After your breakdown over the Clerk of Court consolidation you're going to act like you don't know what he's referring to?

Stop. You called it a declaration of war. Don't attempt to move the goalposts.


This is what I posted: I wouldn't call basically declaring war on the parish that supplies a significant amount of tax revenue for the state "reasonable."

You are trying to make the case that Landry publicly stating New Orleans needs to operate no differently than the rest of the case is a declaration of war.

No. That's not what I'm doing. I'm highlighting the governor's divisive leadership, petty and immature language, and his public desire to belittle to a major source of statewide tax revenue.

Attempting to boil that down to "using the courts" is a pathetic, logical failure.


Then why did you bring up the AG's indictment?

quote:

Attempting to indict the AG because you didn't like the result was very, very different.



Oh, it's different when the people you don't like do the same things that the people you like do. Got it.

Explain where he was factually wrong when he said this?


Yes, explain how he is wrong in that.

While New Orleans is still a massive economic engine for the state, it took about a decade for it to begin to economically recover from Katrina. Right as it was making strides, COVID hit (along with Latoya) and it still has yet to come close to its pre-COVID economic output. This is reflected well in population numbers as Orleans has fallen from their continual lock as being the most populous parish in the state to being 3rd (behind EBR and Jefferson with both Jefferson and Orleans shrinking while EBR continues to grow).

In short, New Orleans is waning while other parts of the state are in ascendency (Baton Rouge has made huge gains, Lake Charles isn't far behind -and may surpass BR if those LNG projects ever actually go into production- with Shreveport and Lafayette making their own slow but steady growth). As that dynamic continues apace, New Orleans loses increasing amounts of influence on the state.

At most, Landry was telegraphing, but he certainly wasn't factually wrong.

Y’all are either intellectually dishonest or at least moderately retarded. New Orleans is the biggest economic engine in this state without a doubt.


Jefferson Parish and EBR are bigger economic engines than NOLA, libtard. I know it hurts, but facts are facts

Wait, people outside of New Orleans are still throwing a fit that the state constitution stipulated that we have separate criminal and civil clerks of court for 150 years?

I'm under the impression that State Supreme Court sided with Landry.

I think the rest of the state was rolling their eyes and calling out Orleans residents for throwing a fit. (I’d prefer to use tantrum)

Hey retard, JP exists in the way it does directly because of New Orleans. The whole thing with suburbia is that kinda needs a neighboring urban environment.

Great “facts” that you brought to the table. Any empirical evidence to back that claim?

That is absolutely wrong.

The extra office was created through a statute (read: legislative action), it wasn't constitutionally stipulated.

See: RS 13:1371.1

Jeff Landry is behaving like a petty, immature child. He is publicly belittling a city that supplies the entire state with a significant amount of revenue through sales tax, and for what purpose? How do his comments benefit Louisiana?

New Orleans is special. It has historical and cultural significance that cannot be rivaled.

If you want to claim that New Orleans isn't special in your opinion,at least acknowledge that cannot be factually proven.

You admitted it.

You literally called it declaring war.

...because it is ridiculous to point to "immature language" as a declaration of war while discounting an attempt to abuse the legal system to indict the sitting State AG. It's insane.

I think Russian is probably 100% on the mark. Do you take medication for your mental health? Can you be honest?

I've called Cubbies a big, FAT liar many times. It may come from the unsubstantiated (but highly likely) nickname "4 Chubbies" that many use around here
