Cop in Oklahoma slammed a 71 year old Vietnamese man, who barely understand English, into the ground (cops in OKC are really resentful of the “the gays, the Mexicans and the Asians”). He had a brain bleed and some other injuries. Oklahoma’s attorney general, who is the more “reasonable” pick for next governor between him and Ryan Walters, refused to press charges.

Oh fuck please don't tell me Rayn Walters is planning on running for governor...

That’s been the point of the grandstanding. That or a Trump appointment (and ending Phyler v Doe/access to education for undocumented students). He was too stupid to realize that he wasn’t rich enough for Trump - even the Trump Bible grift wasn’t enough to get him the DOE nomination.

I don’t think Walters is going to win, but he effectively pulled the Overton window to make Drummond look like a “moderate.” Drummond will handily win, and I imagine even pull some Dems with the way he’s been trying to present himself as reigning Walters in.

My only hope is that someone gets video of Walters and one of his bosom buddies. “Sex, lies, and we wish we had a video tape” - to reference an illegal mailer in obscure local politics.

Yeah he barely won secretary of education against a Democrat in one of the reddest states. Okies don't like him, they just hate trans people more.

Do Okies like anyone? Themselves included.

I will burn the state to the ground if he is elected. Guess I need to prepare myself to run for governor. No way can alllow either of those men run our state.
