County committee just made an announcement that they will not be starting soon. That fleeting feeling of hope when the hold music goes away, only to hear the "your call is important to us" message

It seems we're really starting the do-over meeting an hour late. Imagine trying to pull this kind of shit at work

And now they've got some singer to do the national anthem. Great use of time and resources for everybody involved.

Some people started clapping half way through the first part, add if they've never heard this song before

Now we're sitting around waiting because they need to "tally the count". This takes 15m using computers, apparently

Someone is asking if the minutes we're voting on were made available. They were not, so we'll sit here reading them for the next bit

Nobody in charge of this meeting has ever used a microphone before, or read words off of a piece of paper out loud

Last meeting was over 1000 votes (proxy and in person). This followup meeting only has 720 votes. Guess the county leadership's plan worked!

They just announced another 10 minute break (without a motion, which I guess says how much they care about parliamentary procedure)

Free advice for the Brooklyn Democratic County Committee: have you considered buying a timer?

The sheer sarcastic energy of country leadership when they say "for full transparency". They know exactly what they're doing

This 10 minute break for a 10 second fix has now gone on for almost half an hour. What even is time?

It is now 2pm. The Brooklyn Democratic County Committee has gotten through zero votes in the past two hours.

It has now been 40 minutes??? for a 10 minute break. I'm starting to think County leadership has simply given up

Ancient legends tell of an end to the "10 minute break", a promised time when we'll reconvene the meeting and actually vote on items in the agenda

(the 10 minute break has lasted an entire hour) I'm reminded of the time the Parliamentarian pre-emptively chastised county committee members for wasting time

We have spent the last HOUR on a "10 minute break". Don't believe their lies. bkdems/1577002143675953152

They're got going to say anything about why we just spent an hour and a half doing nothing, huh

On one hand, the Brooklyn Democratic County Committee meeting was a six hour long shit show. On the other hand, it was a master class in machine politics, weaponized incompetence, and vote rigging.
