he only got the job through affirmative action set a sides.

2. Where's the National Guard? Who's the goddam Governor?

3. Apparently Repubs have been trying to get a Repub mayor

in Houston for a long time now. We'll be seeing a lot of this for a long time as people suffer through the aftermath (the incompetent Democratic mayor also failed to evacuate their homes with them).

Plus, Houston really needs to have been more environmentally responsible, rather than development friendly, but we know who's primarily responsible for that. The people who think "freedom" is about personal money rather than personal rights.

Suggest ignoring rather than spreading.

From CS Monitor, 2015:

Why does Houston keep electing Democratic mayors? In a razor-thin victory Saturday night Democratic candidate Sylvester Turner was elected mayor of Houston, following a trend of major cities in red states voting blue.
