Let him speak for himself...
https://gizmodo.com/texas-mayor-announces-resignation-after-unhinged-facebo-1846285536 Need electricity? Get it yerself. No food? Go hunt. Gawd knows we make it easy enuf for you to get a gun! No job? It's yer own damn fault. No water? Dig a well, dammit! Need healthcare? Learn to do yer own surgery! Need education? Everything ya need is in the Bible and the Constitution! Teach yerself ta read (and speak 'Muhrican, dammit)! Potholes in yer roads? Go fix 'em yerself! Yes, I'm the Mayor and yer taxes pay my salary, but the guv'mint owes you NOTHING! Those power companies deserve sympathy and help, not complaints from you whiney socialists who think you deserve service for all those electric bills you pay. |
Welp. At least Texas politicians are consistent with looking down on people who don’t subscribe to their bootstraps mentality.
Constituent or enemy, they’ll call you out. ![]() |
OP, you are reading this backwards. He said some nonsense and immediately got fired for it.
Everyone, even some small town Texans that you look down on, knows he's an idiot. |
WOW |
God forbid a utility customer paying for electricity receive the electricity. |
Ha ha he goes from "the weak will parish (sic)" to: Threatening our lives with comments and messages is a horrible thing to have to wonder about"
Waaah you guys are MEAN |
And all written (illiterately) by a GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE. |
^ ^
A Republican one. |
Good ole Texas. Is it something in the water? |
I would want to shrink government too, if that was my government. Sheesh! |
And, yet, they elected him in the first place. You can’t really use the No True Scotsman argument when conservatives scream “SOCIALISM!!!” at ever social program, and it’s not like he’s saying anything different that the people who said the uninsured should be left to die during the 2011 debates - https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnntea-party-debate-audience-cheers-letting-uninsured-comatose-man-die/ |
How is this backwards? This (lack of) governance approach is the GOP brand - their leaders, however, are not supposed to say the quiet part out loud. |
+1 His beliefs probably weren’t secret before he was elected. At what point will Republican voters shake themselves out of their reverie and realize we don’t live on the frontier anymore? |
He obviously didn't say what anyone else was thinking, "the quiet part", because he got fired for saying it. Fired by his constituents. It's not on brand for a party or the government. It's just one loony loon. |
Why did he resign? It's not like anyone could legally force him out of office overnight.
10 bucks says his wife made him do it. Because she's mortified by his psychopathy. |
