This will be interesting and I bet he will win this case
Hello Joel,
No…you’re not gonna win. You can’t just act like a fool a claim free speech. You’re a joke. People laugh at you not with you.
💯👏
Regardless of a person’s background, demeanor and appearance, anyone should be allowed to say a name and cite anyone about their conduct in office.
Nudo had no right to call for his removal.
Additionally the police had no cause to follow the unlawful order of request by the supervisor.
Strictly a constitutional case.
I’m surprised it took this long to be filed.
Must be watching a lot of YouTube
This has to be Joel Truedope
First comment, so let’s set a rule. No negative comments regarding his wife, Kate Trudell. 😁
You mean lardo the hippo?
Her mirror lied to her the day she put that green outfit on. I bet her employer is real proud of her shenanigans. Isn’t it Johnson Financial?
Yes it is! Her arm fat made me lose my appetite
No. She left there to join a law firm.
She’s a monster.
Yes she most certainly is. They both are.
He must need money!
He’s a slob with a neck beard. Grow up and get a job, loser.
So is his fat ugly elephant of a “wife”
He a KUSD teacher , Bullen Middle School.
Scary.
Yes it is….
His wife is grotesquely obese. Yikes. Woof. 🤮
She’s grotesque inside and out. And her “husband” shouldn’t be allowed within 100 yards of children. Trust me.
💯
Why? Why should anyone trust Joe “false reporting to judicial ethics” Cardinali? Ask JM about this guys credibility.
Who’s JM?
Why , none other than Johan Mondavi of course. 😎
Jodi Meier. Joe filed a complaint against her…
This loser is a complete joke.
Agreed
💯
He tried to illegally vote at the Southwest Library several years back . I was a poll worker. Our book showed that he had already voted. He wouldn’t even show us his ID. He’s a nut. By the way , his wife is also a poll worker.
Wow. Not surprised
He looks vaccinated
And boosted multiple times.
Someone who sat behind him when he was out of control at the meeting told me that he should have been arrested.
I also heard that he refers to his wife as Malibu Barbie.
🤣
She’s a big girl .
She looks like she ate Malibu….and Barbie.
His lawyer the wannabe Al Sharpton/Ben Crump is just as moronic as his dweeby glasses make him look.
Lmao thought the same. Clearly discounted lawyer who’s probably shacking up with Joel’s ugly wife since he clearly isn’t interested
Probably working pro bono. You get what you pay for.
Agreed!
I didn’t know that Erkle grew up to be an activist attorney.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surprised it took this long for it to get filed but that doesn’t mean he’ll win.
He’s an idiot so is his wife, an idiot!
