“The point being that she’s a South American socialist. She grew up outside of America with very different ideas about what freedom means.”
I think you are missing something. In Columbia at this time FARC “FUERZAS ARMADA REVOLUTIONARY DE COLUMBIA” were strong and active, they were communists. Why in the hell would they flee to Peru where were the “Sendero Luminoso” which was called the “shining path.” Sendero Luminoso was a brutal Maoist communist ideology. They made FARC look like boy scouts on a picnic. They were evil to their core.
I do not think they fled Columbia. They just went somewhere they were very happy to be ideologically.
ps
I lived and worked in Venezuela in late sixties and early seventies. I have traveled extensively during those times in Columbia and Ecuador. Many years later also Peru. I know the cultures there and speak the language but my gramer sucks in Spanish. Oddly much of their culture I was most fond but their tolerance of corruption is a cancer. This same cancer now eats at the heart of our great nation.
So now judges cross the Rubicon from wrongly interpreting law to issuing orders to the population?
Where the hell does this come from and when will someone reign it in?
Hidalgo didn’t win because she’s any good.
Hidalgo didn’t win because of any shortcomings of Emmett.
Hidalgo won because the suburban women of Harris County were upset about — umm — like — uhh — Trump’s tweets — er something...
Well, like they say, “Play stupid games — Win stupid prizes...”

I lived in Spring off FM 1960 in the late 80’s to 1992. Was a member at the Houston Club, yes it was snobbish but the food was always outstanding.
I was an Air Traffic Controller at Houston Center but transferred to tend after my dad when he got the cancer bug. The only things I miss were the housing prices and the lovely and beautiful women of Texas.
I’ve been to commie Austin and San Antonio since I left, San Antonio was a fun time but the state sure did change.
Read the thread.
In Texas, a "County Judge" is an executive, not judicial, officer.
Best description of "Wimpie" Abbott to date.
>> Do you pay any attention at all to what you post?
Ok, that was funny
I’ve been sooo disappointed in Greg Abbot the last few weeks. What is going on with him? We used to be able to count on him to represent us!
A Texas County Judge should more properly be termed a Manager.
They do not have a bench for criminal or civil law.
Each is basically the top non-law bureaucrat in their County
I would wear a banana!!
Make everybody wear football helmets? Bubble wrap suits? Chain armor?
...yet ANOTHER crazy Karen with a robe...
Another consequence of the 19th Amendment. The two greatest tragedies in American history...establishment of the Federal Reserve, and the 19th Amendment. The Karen vote is destroying the country.
I moved to a small city north of the great lakes while I build a house on 80 acres 45 minutes from town. This is NOT a "dream" retirement area because the winters are kind of harsh. I am willing to put up with it because this is an isolated area and has fairly homogeneous demographics.
Three quarters of my land is second growth forest, an unlimited source of fuel. My rural neighbors are horse lovers, Mennonites, and the descendants of the original Anglo settlers. The fastest growing demographic is Mennonite farmers moving in. They don't drink, smoke, do drugs or steal and make absolutely terrific neighbors. Visiting one of their farms is like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting.
Wait a minute...maybe this is a dream location.
Sounds nice. Thank you.
