    The anti Lina movement is laughable

    That Emmet guy was there a long time and he had friends.

    If you haven't lost the plot you can see through most of this movement.

    She hasn't done anything so egregious as to merit this nasty of a pushback.

    If they want to be mad at anyone, they need to look in the mirror.

    The blue wave in the area that took out long time republicans is a direct response to Trump. A complete and total repudiation of his dotard booty. Yet they're still happy to embrace the pos so don't be surprised that you can't get your minions in office again.

    Yeah, those goddamned liberal counties, always thinking of safety first! Even of mongoloid knuckle-dragging sheriffs. Those cappuccino-swilling, Brie-eating surrender monkeys.

    Fort Bend actually went blue in 2018 but his office was not up if I'm correct. He's not running for reelection and he wouldn't win anyway. He has his eyes on a house seat.

    I think she is doing a good job considering the situation. It is a step in getting back to work. Most of the people that i know are taking precautions. So many of my friends kids havent seen their grandparents in over a month including mine. I hope Lina stays on track and I am sure she will.

    Nothing. I've seen some do it. Actually more often they will drop down a bit. But people usually aren't trying to be jerks so they mostly stay on. I think the store has the right to boot them but I have never seen that happen. Like I said, almost everyone is compliant.

    Good to hear. I really don’t get the pushback on this order. There are plenty of public safety laws and regulations that impinge on our individual liberties but as a society we have recognized that there is a balancing test.

    here, we have a pandemic. A few weeks ago, I was a little embarrassed to wear a mask. Now, I would be embarrassed not to because we need to protect each other.

    on the tent hospital ...

    which do you prefer...

    Proactive, overly planned and ended up wasting resources

    Reactive, overly under-planned and ended up lacking resources

    plan for the worst, hope for the best

    When you give people the option . . .they will probably take the bad one

    I think that business should put it in place like the No Shirts No Shoes No Service policy that has been mentioned.

    Cause this is all a liberal conspiracy. Brought by the democrats to undermine "President" Trump. The liberal media along with the democrats, and the rest of the world have conspired to...have us wear masks....I haven't gotten that far on why but it goes deep.

    Trump knew about this way back when he made his cryptic Covfefe tweet that apparently meant something to "some people".

    Think about it...COV to start. The symbol for Iron is Fe which he Doubled. We now have COVID. It was his 1st tweet of the day COVID-1 on 05/31 (5+3+1=9). Voila COVID-19

    Because he's a "successful business owner."

    I think she's done a great job.

    I've also seen tons of criticism of her online, mostly from conservatives it seems. I honestly don't get the hate; Harris County has done very well with COVID-19 so far. I presume part of it is she's young and female. But I was mostly disappointed by the comments from the police unions that sought to make this political.

    If you want to open the economy back up, it seems reasonable to ask people to wear masks as you do so to help slow down the further spread.

    She's young, female, hispanic, and not Ed Emmett...which no one believed could actually lose an election. So, she's going to be a very easy target for nitpicking even the most minor of decisions for the county.
