Finally, although 8 years too late. I won’t defend Judge Hidalgo’s rodeo dust up but….

In 2018 Ed Emmitt lost his seat to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo for a couple of reasons. One he didn’t campaign. He thought he had it in the bag and quite frankly he had a point. He was a very successful Judge. He did the job. There was no drama. He also used the term “hunker down” very well. He lost by about 1000 votes to a 29 year old with no political experience.

The second reason he lost was his support for Donald Trump. Emmitt was quiet as a mouse while Trump began his chaos campaign across the country. That didn’t help, neither did straight ticket voting. Voters were pissed and voted the Democratic straight ticket.

8 years later Ed has popped his head up to criticize Lina Hidalgo’ rodeo dust up while again being quiet like a fuckin mouse about his political lord and savior Trump. In an interview with Texas Monthly Ed said:

He said Hidalgo’s behavior was troubling. “We live in a time of a lot of politicians doing really bizarre things,” he said. “This may top the list.”

Really? Fuckin really? Are you a fuckin idiot Ed? The “top of the list”? Back in 2018 I wrote how Ed said nothing about Trump’s behavior such as mocking a disabled human being. Or his daily lies, or separating children from their parents and more but today there are so many other “Top of the list” candidates that Ed could put over a rodeo dust up such as:

• Being Accused of molesting children in the Epstein files
• Organizing a riot on the US Capitol
• Porking a porn star, paying her off, and being convicted on 35 felonies
• Stealing classified documents
• Daily lies
• Tariffs
• Racism

And the list goes on and on. I wonder if Ed would have spoken up if Trump had porked a sheep at the rodeo. Probably not. Ed should do us all a favor and shut his ***damn pie hole.

NOTE: I am supporting Annise Parker for Harris County Judge.

There is a runoff in both parties for Harris County Judge. Orlando Sanchez and Warren Howell will be running for the Republican Party nomination. Annise Parker and Letitia Plummer are running for the Democratic Party nomination. All have submitted the required campaign finance reports. Plummer was late on filing the 30 day out and the 8 day out. Howell has not filed an 8 day out report.

Democrats:
Annise Parker has outraised her opponent without the need of loans. She has always been a strong fundraiser in the past. Plummer has historically had trouble with raising funds as well as filing on time. She has a $7,000 personal loan and only $407 cash on hand.

Republicans:
Orlando Sanchez has a large personal loan of $219,513 listed in his January report but it was not listed in his 8 day or 30 day out report. He has only $1,600 cash on hand. Howell is spending his own money on his race with a $272,650 personal loan. He raised only $15,000 for the race. Howell has not filed an 8 day out report.

Notes:
The republican nominee will not need to raise any money. Greg Abbott and various PACs will be pouring millions into this race with the hope of securing the Harris County Judge position. Unfortunately their hand picked candidate, Marty Lancton the Houston Fire Department Union President, came in 4th place in the primary. The billionaires in North Texas will most probably put millions into this race.
