I’m really sick of it

We have Lina Hidalgo, Spanish translator turned county judge because of Beto turnout, making shite up to keep things closed.

I am an internal medicine doctor in one of the largest hospitals in Harris county. We have never have more than 30 patients hospitalized with covid19 (thankfully). Last week, Hidalgo said hospitals were nearing capacity (most hospitals are less than 50%).

She built a mash hospital that could cost up to $60 million that was never going to be used based on any predictions. It will be closed next week without treating a single patient.

There have been 150 deaths since this all started in the Greater Houston area. Things are only going to get better at this point.

Instead of getting things back to normal, what does she do? Makes wearing masks mandatory in public for a MONTH!

I’m sick of all of the lies and disinformation. It is time to get things back open and getting back to normal again. This isn’t New York

And yes, #imad

Frankly, people get the government they deserve.

It's sad but true.

We're living it in Louisiana - at least you baws have a rational guy in the Governor's mansion.

They get what they deserve granted most of her voters are probably doing fine on unemployment from their couches and could care less.

Preach

Houston and Harris County have been plagued by the Beto blue wave that hit in 2018.

Inmates running the asylum.

Dem leaders will do all they can now to spread fear and have their LCD voters blame every illness on the right.

That's the whole point of this.

A mask is a symbol at this point.

Ed Emmett was solid as County Judge. He worked as a counterbalance to the idiocy of City government.

It’s the f’ing millennials that live in the city that have screwed up Houston. They were all in on Beto! I live near the heights and I see them all over.

True. I am defenitely paying more attention to county level politics after this.

Holy shite do we have some dipshits running things around here. The fact that a 29 year old hospital translator is the county judge is a symptom of the problem.

Under the Texas Constitution, the County Judge is chief executive of the county, among other things.

She is the County Judge because local Dem establishment-types thought incumbent Republican Ed Emmett was unbeatable and stayed out of the race, giving her the Dem nomination unopposed. Then she rode the unexpected downballot Beto wave through the general election.
