I love, love, love Mike Munzing getting his ass handed to him like he did last night. I just watched Mayor Ackley's speech, which was really a presentation, and she thoroughly roasted him. Well-deserved.

Thank you. When it comes back re-written to just point out the one flag pole, we need one thousand people there to show those 2 MAGA friendly councilmen that we have our eyes on how they vote on this 👀 .

Thank you, Jeff! I especially liked that you said aloud that the MAGA crowd have turned the US flag into an infomercial. I've been thinking that for a long time, and it makes me angry that the US flag is now divisive, rather than unifying. Really, I don't want to say the pledge of allegiance anymore because my allegiance is to the Constitution and rule of law-- not some piece of cloth which the MAGA crowd thinks represents exclusively their way of thinking.

Amazing piece! I particularly LOVE your humor! I was the speaker in the light purple jacket and I was wondering if there is any way you can send the recording you have to me?

IDK how much Jeff recorded, but eventually a recording of the whole meeting should be on the city's website.

"Through it all, I kept watching Munzing—a shifty-looking dude who I wouldn’t trust to watch my CHiPs lunchbox." 🤣

Jeff Pearlman, future OC City Council? Hey, you got my vote.

Okay, I can't be the only one wondering if I'm supposed to know who this Jon-Erik Hexum guy was...
