Everyone needs to stop with this lame duck crap.
This motherfucker has been in office for less than a year and has bulldozed this entire country. Also that paramilitary gestapo ICE force isn't going away.
This man needs to be thrown out of office and thrown in prison before he kills us all.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
