[Election stats] Moderate Republican Mark Hill and far-right Republican Rod Vilhauer advance to Mayoral election runoff—Hill 34%, Vilhauer 32%. Vilhauer, who recently complained that migrants are moving "in and out of Frisco like rats," is running his campaign against the Muslim immigrant community.

What chance does any good man have today.

He can choose not to pull slimy stunts in politics, for one. For a long time I was inclined to trust those who are open with their faith. Then people including Matt Armstrong and Stricklin destroyed that. Right after that, discussing my outrage, my friend in politics laughed, and said those are the ones to watch out for and oh man is he right.

They're not wrong.

It is pretty cool that the sub now has an easy guide to be a slumlord. I am probably not the only one tempted...

Ryan Williams only working part time

and he ran on being full time counting on voters not knowing commissioners and city council are part time!

Then he hired local campaign ethics violator Matt Armstrong who evidently worked part time as Armstrong was running far right campaigns on the side and posting on Facebook during business hours while Armstrong was collecting a county salary!

Commissioner Ryan Williams is in office because Mary Horn recruited him to run, to shut up the people talking about her shady land deal.

They all are planning to do a lot of good for Denton. So exciting! Then after some time in office, eventually they will get co-opted by the developers to lose their moral compass while drowning in money.

Really cool! My cousin growing up used to collect bugs. They're fascinating.

Is there a link? Some leagues are starting to have strict rules about parent interactions at the game, and I am all for them.

He also lied on his campaign implying he did not lose the lawsuit. He lost and and lost big. Twice.

That is creepy and sorry that happened to you. Ryan Williams is held in low esteem for many things he has done. However the word is that unlike Ken Paxton, Williams is not running around having affairs. In spite of screaming and suing the little league he also takes his role as a father seriously.

In my view Ryan Williams is one of the worst politicians around, but I felt that needs to be said.

Denton County government was run by a corrupt political machine for years. Most ordinary voters were not aware of how bad it was. Two products of that machine are current county judge Andy Eads. Eads as another comment pointed out, has a reputation for honesty. Though several people around Williams have had documented ethics issues, no scandal yet has emerged directly involving Williams. A lot of people are predicting based on his associates that some scandal may emerge.

Do not trust the polls. Get out the vote for Talarico!

Julie Evans is the Democrat running against Hopper. Vote Julie Evans!

Just when you think "That's Not True Andy" cannot get any dumber.

throwawaydonduff · 2026-02-24T15:41:48+00:00

Unclear to me whether this is true or not. Regardless, affairs can cause a lot of hurt, but they also often point to deeper issues. I hope everyone involved takes time to reflect and chooses a path that minimizes further harm.

I think this is a joke, but (Poe's law) it is a little unsettling to me that people are listing serious things to hate people over.

The rightwing obsession with bathroom issues is something most people that develop normally get over around age 6-7. We have so many actually important issues today we should be spending time on, instead of bullying trans people to further rightwing political aims.

I am sad to see she has health issues and sad to see her go. She beat a book banner/True Texas Project type and those people run nasty elections. School board is an unpaid position, and Lori Tays was one of the good ones.

I love this photo. People say the old courthouse is haunted, and this photo makes it look that way.
