She is on drugs. Yes she is unqualified and under a lot of stress but she also is on drugs. Either adderall, coke, or opiates. With her history of constantly getting up to use the restroom during meetings I'm guessing coke or opiates where she snorts them. Hopefully she gets help. Just another example of her being out of bounds and it's a shame no one around her can wrangle her in but unstable people and addicts are impossible to control.


Remember how much weight she had put on when we saw those first pics of her after she got back from "treatment"/going out of state in fear of indictment?

Her metabolism probably wasn't running like a hamster on a wheel since she couldn't use her normal substance regimen in the treatment facility.

"adderall tiddies" just became a thing.


Do those coincide with Ozempic Butt (which is evidently a thing)?

Plus she claims to be a renter as well. I make more than her and feel spread pretty thin sometimes, but I have three kids and a decent size property to manage. I'd be living like an absolute king with that salary and no kids.

So is she considered Officio Director Twice Removed now?

She is the Ex Ex Officio Director.

you can take her ex ex officio directorship away, but she'll be El Comandante for ever in our hearts


Ex El Officio Comandante Dictator

I wonder what she'll do when she loses her big county salary. She had to have her boyfriend pay off her rehab, even with generous benefits. Always struck me as odd she bragged he footed the $80k bill. Where is her own salary going?

$190k in 2023.

$191k in 2024.


Ed Brandon (RIP) claimed to have a $1000/day coke habit in the early 90's.

I'm just saying…

She probably spends $5k/month on therapy and Rx.

She posted pics from her apartment and the guys here have a 90% solid idea of where she lives. It was all posted many pages back. Yes she is a renter, which is absolutely insane given her salary. After 7+ years she could have bought and paid off a modest sized home.

Govt employees have notoriously good insurance so I doubt that. When I was a fed it cost like $150 to have each of our kids.

With how often she claims to go, she should've blown through her EAP allotment already.

I SO wished this were going to happen but because the post was made by a R, I don't see anything happening. Also notice her fellow D both locally and state wise are silent.

Dems wont demand she leave so close to an election. They need 4 Ds in order to pass their budget unopposed. For budgets and tax rates you need a quorum of 4.

They will keep her to jam down the largest tax increase they can and pass another BS budget filled with demand pork projects.

And that I wish it been called for a Dem senator. Even though her abilities are obviously lacking, I feel like she would be under more pressure if D's were to start calling for it.

No D leader in the nation would ever do anything to pressure her to step down.

A disfunctional and insane Dora is better than no Dora.

Now if enough R leaders in the State do, she may very well get to addled that she ends up hospitalized for so long that she's a non entity on the court.

Of course there are tiers, but a single woman with the high tier of insurance, which you would think would be a no brainer, would be extremely cheap for a single woman.

Well, I don't know of any plans that cover recreational drug dependency or exotic travel. All her broke talk over the years should be a giant red flag if we had real journalists covering local government.

A single woman making $190k/yr, and having so much stuff comped and gifted, that the normal person does not, should be doing just fine. But then again, my wife has a client who is a single female in her 30's making $350k/yr, and her credit is in the 500's.

The Rodeo should auction her Ex-Officio Vests and Jackets as a souvenir prior to the Steer Auction.

You know several big money R's would fight to stick those framed on their gameroom wall

Its live on Thursday. I'll tune in as it will be extra spicy.

Honestly, I doubt she will show as the Dems have a majority and will pass their agenda without her.

She really needs to only show for budget and taxes.

She will show because she doesn't think she did anything wrong and because she knows there will be a lot of focus on her.

In a surprising turn of events, the Houston subreddit seems to have turned on her as well. It's the first time that they haven't cried racism and how she is speaking truth to power or some ghey sheet.

I think she ends up resigning or taking a leave of absence for mental health reasons. She's pretty much lost all support and is out there on an island all to herself. I don't think she can make it 10 more months. The criticism from all sides will be too much for her to handle. She'll either isolate herself or resign.

You guys didn't hear the news this morning? They said they reached out to Hidalgo, but "she is busy preparing for an out of the country trip.." Some kind of "trade" trip. Sure sounded shady....like "Let's get this bsc out of the country and wait for this latest episode to blow over".

Quote:
According to multiple sources, as of Friday evening, Hidalgo was preparing to leave the United States on a pre-planned trade mission with the Greater Houston Partnership that includes stops in The Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal.

The CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership the former CEO of Kinder Morgan. I bet he's thrilled to have her.
