11th or 12th

[edit]

In US, the term of office starting after inauguration or swearing-in ceremony, in this case it's the 11th, however, the 11th was a Sunday. So the question is: who was in actually in charge of the city after 2:54pm PST (Thats the exact moment Karen Bass sworn-in) Harrytsang (talk) 09:35, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I originally edited as December 11, 2022 as I was at the inaugural ceremony myself. Ex-mayor was sitting in the audience instead of sitting on stage. Harrytsang (talk) 09:37, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in the article about the Marxist background of Karen Bass.

[edit]

There is nothing in the article about the Marxist background of Karen Bass - even her past support for Fidel Castro (which was condemned by the Washington Post - certainly not a conservative source) is not mentioned. The only hint of the actual politics of Karen Bass is when the article mentions that she regards people saying they will not vote for politicians who raise their taxes as "terrorism" - ironic as Karen Bass did not regard the actual rule-by-terror of Fidel Castro and other socialist dictators as "terrorism" regardless of the number of people they murdered. 2A02:C7C:E1BA:CE00:6C32:4C75:261C:D578 (talk) 11:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no source anywhere supporting the idea that she had a "Marxist background". The extent of the thing seems to be her making one sort-of-sympathetic comment about Castro when he died in 2016, which generated some mild controversy, and then walking that comment back in 2020.

I have added a short mention of the comment to the section on her consideration for VP. AntiDionysius (talk) 11:24, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
