Anaheim 2nd District Councilmember Jordan Brandman has resigned his seat effective August 5, 2021. The City Council webpage for the 2nd District states:
Vacant
The District 2 seat is currently vacant, pending the appointment of a new council member by the Anaheim City Council.
The seat was previously held by Council Member Jordan Brandman, who resigned on Aug. 5, 2021.
This story is developing. We will update as more information becomes available.
Updates: The Voice of OC beat us by about 15 minutes (hey I was driving back from a convention in Vegas).
From the story, this:
(Denise) Barnes confronted Brandman during public comment at the July 20 City Council meeting.
“I want you seven to really pay attention. Last week, I asked you to please come back to make some sort of action on what has been described as some of the most vile words spoken by a politician in Anaheim,” she said. “Selfish c***. My god, it should make you shiver.”
The Democratic Party of Orange County was slated to vote on a resolution next Monday, urging Brandman to resign from the council because of the text message controversy.
The resolution “condemns recent acts of misogynistic bullying evidenced by text communications made by Councilmember Jordan Brandman, and deems him unfit to continue serving in an elected capacity, and calls for his immediate resignation”
Anaheim council members have 60 days to appoint someone to fill the vacancy, or it’s a special election by default, according to the city charter.
Here’s a copy of Brandman’s resignation letter.
Poor Vern. That cat can’t win for losing.
HB Huddlers hang on Nelson’s are coming in HOT!
Harry Sidhu is issuing statements claiming credit for this. Harry Sidhu had nothing to do with this. Harry Sidhu never cared.
What happened is Jordan lost the entire DPOC. Including his oldest and best friends.
there’s so much of this story you don’t know. You got what you wanted Vern. He’s gone. Now the council will appoint someone even worse for you. Why don’t you go get drunk and celebrate
Aw… you sound sad.
On every substantive issue, Jordan did not vote like a Democrat. They’ll appoint someone just as bad, but probably less vicious and freaky.
I am. I think Jordan needs to deal with his health. You are a piece of shit. Please offer a review of prison food and what it’s like to be handcuffed or go to jail; you have experience there
Always the victim, that Jordan. And you are his enabler.
You’re just pissed I scooped you on this. You’re wife is your victim and you scapegoat her
Scooped? On what? I’m working on other things, this is in the past.
I haven’t bothered writing about this because I’m the one who’s making history.
I think Greg might weigh in.
You’re making history? You have 11 DUIs to go to tie the record; https://www.duicentral.com/blog/most-duis/
LOL; I was just sent a photo of a comment in moderation to the OJ blog asking if Greg wears a D-Cup bra. I needed the laugh
It’s weird the things that make you laugh. Your body is probably in worse shape than his.
But I’m done with this page for today, it’s like wallowing in a pig sty. And I have no idea what half these anonymous pricks are talking about. Bethany? HB Huddle?
Later, freaks…
well, wallowing in pig sty is what you do best.
“I’m the one making history”
Alcohol induced dellussion, Vern?
Why won’t you address your acoustic a young Mother with a sick baby or your comments to/about Bethany and her tragedy?
You are a self serving prick.
So when will Donna Nelson stop lying about Anaheim Police murdering her son? He was not handcuffed and then shot in the back of the head. He did have meth in his system and his DNA was on a gun used to shoot at Anaheim cops. Does anyone tell the truth in that apartment?
Ah! A REAL piece of shit. And anonymous of course. Not to mention, a piece of shit who believes that police departments never lie, always tell the truth. (Even the murderous Craig-Hunter-dominated APD of 2009-12.)
Well then, you must believe that Kelly Thomas was fighting back and hurting the Fullerton cops like a superman on angel dust … until the film showed up. And that Hector Hernandez was brandishing a knife when he came out of his house … until the film showed up. And that George Floyd suffered a mysterious “medical condition” that led to his death… until the film showed up.
Unfortunately there was no film of what the Anaheim cops did to Joey. They messed with the scene for a good hour and shone their lights into the eyes of all the Guinida residents who tried to watch or film.
One detail that makes me believe Donna and all the witnesses I’ve talked to is that for the first hour or two the police reported that they’d found a gun in the glove compartment of the vehicle Joey’d been in … then suddenly the story changed, there was no gun in the vehicle, it was in his hands and he was shooting at Kelly Philips, and look! There it is between his feet!
Whether that gun really WAS in the vehicle, or whether it was a police “throwaway gun” (a term you piece of shit would never have heard), it’s clear they planted it on him, and fired it themselves.
Now go fuck yourself.
On second thought, you probably are an Anaheim cop. Maybe you’re even Kelly Philips.
And maybe your shoe is a canoe.
How does it feel to be able to justify murder and not even a morsel of human empathy. The absolute absurdity of your attempt, was either sheer laziness, sheer evil, or incapable of being able to relate to your surroundings. You are one of those people that think if someone is trying to break into your house, 911 will have him surrounded in minutes. Cops are bullys, not a few every single one. They beat up the homeless, and run if they are in danger. They lie, more than any other profession The police are Bullys that lie and just ask any fireman if they respect cops. Only in movies cops act heroic, but they aren’t. I just had to learn my rights, and now I apprach them camera on. “What are you doing just sitting there, hiding so you could give a ticket.” At a gas station, I tell him that he is not on public property, and that the owner wants you to leave or he’s going to charge you with loitering. That was the 1st of 3 I have told them to leave and they did
Murder? Evidence please.
So Donna is a shitty mother and not an activist? She suspects her husband cheats on her? Isn’t he always on the prowl?
Hey Pug, stop by our “pop up” this weekend to get some glass bro, Jeanie will give you a good deal. Donna will throw in a “teener”
