Way overdue.

If there’s anyone left that’s still defending this guy, there’s something wrong with you.

By the time he could be removed from office, he would ran his time as an elected official. This trial should move along a little quicker. The longer it takes, the more Philadelphians suffer. DA_LarryKrasner needs to removed from office NOW.

Have to remove this fuk!

Will be shocked if he's removed. SHOCKED.

Ok, things are looking up!
