Proud of our Judge in Dallas for Smacking Hobby Lobby

Judges are in control of emergency management under the Governor here in TX and Clay Jenkins has been a star

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/dallas-county-judge-issues-cease-desist-order-to-hobby-lobby/2344503/

On Thursday, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced he will soon issue a Cease & Desist order to the Hobby Lobby Corporation.

“Someone who is not a hero and who I want to call out specifically, and I’ll be calling out others like this… is the corporation Hobby Lobby,” said Jenkins.


He did just a short while later and it was glorious watching the police tape the order letter to the door!!!

Jenkins told reporters he was recently informed that many of the Hobby Lobby stores in Dallas County remain open, despite not being an essential business.

Too bad it's just Dallas County. Those fuckwad stores are everywhere. But its a step forward.

This needs to be shown to them so that they may make informed decision on their shopping choices after this is all over.

Quite appropriate, alongside Chick-Fil-A and Home Depot as right-wing havens.

Dallas, Houston, Austin, El Paso.

It is not easy watching the shark-infested waters surrounding us, but it does make it easier to make trips back home.

Has done an outstanding job. And not once has he bragged about how tremendous his performance has been.

And forcing them to work. They are the most unchristian corporation out there. They should be completely shut down as a threat to public health. Forever.

I am sure that he has saved a lot of lives.

He is very impressive and I could see him running for a much higher office.
