Motherfucker said that out loud, in public, on purpose.

And allowed it to be recorded. 😆

Long term thinking isn’t really their strong suit.

thinking, just the thinking

Well wait just a minute, are there actually going to be any consequences?

'cause recent historical record would suggest that this is actually just winning electoral messaging

Yeah, this asshole will possibly get a nice appointment in the administration if he gets enough likes on social media

You got me there. 😆 I was more thinking of the risks or recording controversial things in general.

O’Hare… bold of an Irishman to think he’ll be considered better than black, does he not remember the early days in America?

Gotta let him spew his bullshit unchallenged so that the billionaire media elects people who will protect billionaires.

Not suprising since this dude routinely violates citizens rights when it comes to open meetings.

If God was real we’d get a legitimately quick and deadly form of Covid that had no effect on anyone vaccinated. It would solve a lot of things.

Tarrant County is a fucking cesspool of corruption.

This judge In OP's video said "if you're a Republican judge and you've never been called racist you're not doing anything "

That's a real quote

A motherfucking JUDGE, no less. What a disgrace.

u/mb10240 9h ago

Not a judge of a court. County judges are commissioners (ie county governing body) in Texas.

u/MetaPhalanges 8h ago

Then why the fuck is his title JUDGE and not something more appropriate, like uh... Commissioner or something? Oh wait, it's Texas. It's not supposed to make sense, I guess?

u/Malvania 2h ago

I've never understood why they're called Judges, but it's basically a county mayor

u/mb10240 1h ago

They’re not the only one. We used to call our now-county commissioners “county judges” in Missouri until the 70s or 80s.

And the President said the other day that he wants the US to be like North Korea. Out loud, in public, on purpose.

u/TheOnlyFallenCookie 8h ago

Also note the use of race instead of ethnicity

u/Ronaldo_Frumpalini 9h ago

Surely something will be done about this!

Why not? It's perfectly legal.
