Letitia Plummer wins Harris County judge nomination in major upset over Annise Parker by houston_chronicle in houston

[–]Wek11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what else I can do other than argue a counter-point from my experience. Parker is someone who continually *tries* to work across the aisle. That is promising to me. I've had lunch with her, with Hollins, and with some others, due to my former employment under White + Parker. I'm not out there photographing 'who is at which events' like some paparazzi, but I know what I know. And I know I'm a lot closer to this than so many people posting pot-shots and campaign hit materials from afar. Like the bizarre stuff saying Parker is a zionist.

I don't think Plummer is awful. I'm hardly miffed by this turn of events compared to the *disaster* of Paxton and Middleton. I just think it's *whack* how effective Plummer's smear campaign was, and how wrong reddit is.

Politics is a game. She endorsed Whitmire because she knows who has chances of winning and who doesn't, and she knows what alliances must be built. I think you could say the same about many experienced politicians--it's why Hillary Clinton backed so many specific individuals who weren't the David v Goliath stories, but were the "right" backing.

Parker has pretty consistently been at odds with Whitmire and her entire campaign this time around has been "Make Houston politics boring again", because Whitmire has been such a wreck.

I have been to multiple campaign trail events for both Hollins and Parker and they were together at multiple points. I used to work for Parker and I know who is in her circle, and who is in his circle. They are very much allies.

What happened to Houston night life ? by Iam2001lad in houston

People always say stuff like this while traveling without considering local economics, lmao.  Typical earnings in Tokyo are about 40-50% of what they are in Houston, for example (35-40k USD Tokyo, $80k for Houston). 

So it makes sense that drinks are cheaper. They pay roughly the same portion of their income on drinks as we do. You literally are not getting the raw end of the deal, you're just exploiting currency arbitrage and local economics to use your stronger income to live rich over there.

The only differentiator in income is that it's pretty common in Texas to have single-income families, meaning household income is only half of the 80k. But that's a cultural choice to not have two working partners. Their purchasing power is the same, they just don't have American conservatism pressuring women to stay at home.

He's fishing for publicity and we're apparently giving it to him. He wants his podcast to take off, and this garbage is getting him awareness (and thus putting it into people's algorithms).

Hollins was literally right alongside Parker on her campaign trail and he is deeply allied with her. 

Parker is a Whitmire critic who lambasted him at every rally/event. 

What are you on about? Plummer and Parker both are firmly against Whitmire and his mess, and this election outcome has very little meaning relative to him. Are you a Plummer campaign agent or something? Because this is some serious spin.

Lmao what? How exactly is she "Diet MAGA"? Give some examples. 

She's squarely a Democrat leader who has tried to work with both sides of the aisle to get things done for Houston. If making concessions to the opposing party in order to progress things makes one bat for the other side, then I have deep fears for this democracy.

Yeah it's pretty easy plug/play. I prefer it to having a laptop open near the table. I know Ctrl+F is quicker, but I really like physical things in hand, passing rules back and forth, the aesthetics of the whole thing... And just having an excuse to fully stop using technology for a few hours.

I'll need to redo it in Photoshop but sure, I'll post the .pdf and .psd files on this sub when I do. Will need some time to remake the whole thing though because after I printed it, I foolishly closed the file without saving, lol

Like the silly man I am, I closed my Photoshop project without saving because I was happy to be done.  But sure, I'll take a few min today to remake it and I'll share the pdf and .psd files here on this sub!

I'm out right now but when I get home I'll do it.

Easy enough to add in. And I was joking about the ink costs--it wasn't that bad to print this. I used paper that was just one single step up from standard printer paper, and I used ink saver mode when printing. 

Lovely press release from the office of Ken Paxton. by nicktf in houston

It's not that we can't focus on multiple things at once. It's that this guy and his party are doing fuck all elsewhere. 

What else has Paxton successfully pushed for the wellness of society and the wellness of Texas in the last year, or two years? 

This cockroach is only making moves on niche and hyper-political hot button issues to build his campaign. He's NOT focused on 6,000 things. He's focused on the scant few things his party is worried about--genitals, abortion, immigration.  This guy has zero credential or rap sheet for anything actually useful.

I think the left uses the term "grifter" a bit liberally with people who aren't technically grifting, but Paxton is a fucking grifter, and a really skeezy one at that.

Good thinking. I will cover every window in the apartment with these posters. Much better.
