Michael beschloss, i wonder if you have thought through how republicans can begin with somebody on my team called earlier today debaathification of the Republican Party . And i wonder if liz cheney, her statement being the thing that republicans used the democrats used, sorry, to explain why they needed to impeach donald trump, is there a little wing of the Republican Party that you think can do this sort of debaathification of the party and can it work at this point . Look, i think the challenges is that the rot is from the grassroots all the way to the presidency, to the rot is at every layer. You can call it rot because its now criminal sedition.

This comment and attitude by the city are a dog whistle to every unscrupulous contractor or developer that the downtown area is fair game for their profit, and not for the benefit of residents.
