I take it he’s not talking about corrupt politicians who try to steal elections?

Yes, but now that he’s leaving, he also has absolutely nothing to lose by leaning into his party identification. True he helped make a D majority, but when it came to voting he was not in any way reliable. (Though, to your point, probably less of a troglodyte then the one who will replace him).

Okay, but Houston wins in terms of the most overlooked city. 4th largest city in the country, and yet you NEVER hear about it in the national media. Even when they talk about Texas, it’s always Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.

It must be that they support the police not because they support law and order but because they like how the police are tough and violent against people they don’t like (Blacks, Latinos, immigrants). This is my neighbor’s house in liberal Massachusetts.

I will never understand how the pro-police, thin-blue-line folks can support a convicted felon who encourages violence and undermines respect for courts and the law. The irony is incredible.

It’s so predictable. Everything they accuse others of doing are things they do themselves. It’s not Haitians who are a threat to pets but the Republicans accusing them.
