Can’t believe all the UT law guys on this site and no one knows him from school.

If Ogg makes it out of the primary, I’m going to have to think long and hard about voting for the Republican in the general just to get her out of office.

Hopefully we can tank her in the primary 

[tokamak 6441]

I usually vote in R primaries, but I’ve been thinking about going D this time just to vote for Teare.

Like Whitmire or not, he's getting the trash service to operate on their stated schedule. Today's recycling was picked up correctly on the schedule for the first time in a couple years.

 

Let’s not go sucking each others’ dicks just yet. My recycling was still a day late and my heavy trash is currently 6 days late and counting. 

[SydneyCarton 48169]

Lol. Republicans also hate Ogg. 

[Js1 85569]

Fox26 leaked a poll result that shows Teare leading 59-21 over Ogg

They deleted it because the poll hasn't been published yet.  I think it's Hobby Center/Rice, because a friend of mine was a respondent.

[texasdago 7579]

LOL if true.  Can we get something similar in the D primary for Travis County, plz?

[tx 3 putt 77405]

 

[texasdago 7579]

I just want to give put this quote in the HOF

Let this be a reminder that most voters are not on Twitter. Twitter is not a real place.

[Macanudo 13011]

Hooper is a UT grad.   I was tangentially friends with her back in college.  On FB she lets her looniness show and has been very, very quiet for the past few weeks.   

Should be an interesting 2024 in Houston.

[Jive Turkey 12642]

 

[Macanudo 13011]

That case involved Jared Woodfill.   He's a real piece of work and a grade A asshole.

[Js1 85569]

I cannot wait until she’s gone.

I knew Teare growing up back in Beaumont. He was classmates with my older brother before he moved to Houston for high school. Crazy to think that a guy who used to spent the night at my childhood home will likely be the DA of the biggest city in Texas.

We didn't get a recycling pickup for 30 days after Whitmire was inaugurated lol

[wildcat09 29381]

I swear Whitmire has fucked up the syncing of the downtown traffic lights. For a couple of weeks now, every time I leave work I catch a red at literally every intersection until I can get out of downtown. Yes I’m blaming this on him, I’m sure he did it himself just to piss me off.

I pick up the sarcasm,  ur this 100% is a complaint some MAGA loon would claim biden did to them.

Same but that cold snap fucked up the schedule. Cancelled scheduled service for the week so we just got skipped until 2 weeks later. 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21921]

So Whitmire is refusing to meet with Harris County Commissioner Lina Hidalgo despite repeated requests by her.  His spokesman says he will meet with her when the time is right.  I guess 40 days from hurricane season isn’t right.  I’m sure it has nothing to do with him being petty for her endorsing SJL (I think that was a mistake on her part) or him being a closet Republican.

Eating the trash

[hornmpa96 2620]

My trash and recycling pickup are on time these days and I just received a nice credit on my water bill. Lina can wait a few days. He’s getting shit done.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21921]

When I’m sitting in the dark in a couple of months, I’ll be sure and wave at your trash as it floats past my house

[Nice Guy Eddie 13523]

Hidalgo long tied herself to SJL which probably helped Hidalgo at that time, including in Hidalgo’s last election but there is a price to pay when you pick the losing side.

 

[Jive Turkey 12642]

he's gonna make her wait like she's Carcetti.  but it's like Norman said.  "Wouldn't you play the politics if you were him?"

 

[StassneyHorn 6636]

Eating the trash is a reference to playing up old disagreements, not the actual trash service, but glad to hear Houston is getting better. It’s old, it’s forgotten about, people are being petty. Calling him a Republican is the dumbest thing this board does beside waste space about DC statehood.

By 40 days you mean in a few weeks, right?  Because some are predicting it will kick in earlier this year,

Paxton and Abbott are doing everything they can to micromanage Harris County/Houston. Yes, he maybe pissed at her endorsing SJL but he needs to realize she’s not the enemy and should be working with her against Paxton and Abbott.

have you visited the recruiting board?

I try to avoid recruiting at all costs, football game threads, and the lesser known but equally horrible baseball game threads

I'm having regrets for voting Whitmire. The city already spent millions of dollars preparing to move into a very nice new library, but now he decides on his own to renovate an old dilapidated library at the cost of 14.5 million because it's close to a bar that used to host drag shows. This isn't the first time he decided to make changes without local councilmember and residents input. He's also fucking up the plans to rebuild Montrose Blvd.

https://houstonlanding.org/stakeholders-stunned-by-mayors-announcement-that-montrose-library-move-is-off-the-table/
The Montrose Library’s long-planned move to the Montrose Collective on Westheimer Road — to which the city has already dedicated millions of dollars — is officially off the table.
The announcement from Mayor John Whitmire during a Tuesday morning press conference came as a surprise to many, including City Councilmember Abbie Kamin, whose District C includes Montrose; Steve Radom, the developer behind the Montrose Collective; and many library employees.

He said relocating the library to Westheimer would position it “very close to adult entertainment, on the third story of a commercial building, behind the hamburger building. When I saw it, I said, ‘Not on my watch.’”

But good thing the mean black lady didn’t win!! Could you imagine, not feuding with Lina and probably just keeping the status quo? The horror 

[mycox 582]

No way I was voting for her. Half the City of Houston would have resigned due to her behavior. Might have been a better option in hindsight.

[GreenspointTexas 9664]

Jesus, the press conference thing this morning was little league

 

fucking whitmire

[Ted Lange 16142]

He is such a little bitch.  If anyone other than SJL runs, he is gonna get blown out of the water next election.

[GreenspointTexas 9664]

Whitmire wasting millions in Montrose

 

what a fucking joke

[royiv 9352]

Wife and I both voted for SJL. I had a feeling Whitmire was going to be a shill for Abbott. Between Whitmire and Miles, Abbott has Houston by the balls. At least Hidalgo is hanging in strong — for now.

I'm a little worried about her, TBH. She had that mental health situation or whatever. I think it's completely reasonable that some people just may not be wired to deal with all the bullshit that comes with being elected to high executive office. I probably wouldn't be. Rumor is that Annise Parker is gonna challenge her.

[Fudge Nuggets 19220]

I caught snippets of various Whitmire press conferences the last few days and second the idea that he was total bush league.  Came across as a real goob.

Who could ever have foreseen this.
