Texas Democrats Walk Out

[Jxn Vol]

Can we trade these idiots for some decent hard working Cubans.

Did we ever find out who supplied the private jets? Will those show up as campaign contributions?

I heard yesterday that the DNC was paying for those jets.

@NorthDallas40 No wonder Hog hates Texas..You guys are rabble rousers with a terrible electrical energy infrastructure. Just more trouble than your state is worth being in the union.

I'm enjoying how the Dem talking point now is that everything is "the worst assault on Democracy since the Civil War". 1/6 got that label and now these innocuous voting bills are getting the label.

what's next? Joe only got one scoop - it's the worst assault on Democracy since...

I heard it on Wilkow today that states rights are purely democratic andthe hypocrisy of the Dems statement that it is an atack on democracy.

EDit...well heck I am waaay behind

It’s all just a PR ruse to keep his and GV’s asses north of the state line.

The Democrats' "vote suppression" shtick is the mirror image of the the Republicans' "election fraud" shtick.

Both are scapegoats used by the parties as excuses why they lose elections.

So in Texas you have this stunt, and in Arizona you have an election "audit."

Two sides of the same coin, used to get the bases riled up.

Not even close. One is tangible and physical, the other optics.

Not possible Abbott is a Republican. We all know the documented proof is the Democrats are the party of Jim Crow. She’s an ignorant tool.

Texas House Speaker Charters Flight for Democrats to Return to State

Texas' Republican House Speaker announced that he plans to charter a plane that will be on "standby" in Washington, D.C. waiting to bring home Democratic lawmakers that fled the state to avoid voting on an election integrity bill.

"I am demanding all of our colleagues in D.C. to contact my staff immediately in order to secure their seat on the plane and return to Austin in order to do the state's business," Speaker Dade Phelan said in a statement. "The State of Texas is waiting."

In addition to chartering the plane, Phelan also stripped El Paso Democrat Joe Moody of his leadership post, which the Democrat addressed in a Twitter post.

While in Washington, D.C., the dozens of on-the-run Democrats have been meeting with Democratic lawmakers and the official Twitter account of Texas Democrats posted on Thursday that they "refuse to go back."

I'm still wondering why nobody cares about the Oregon Republicans who do this every year.

Duh .... It's not news worthy enough. Are you keeping score to see who's worse at it?

Always.

 

[Redleg68]

I am, actually.

They should stay, make their argument, vote, lose, then use it to tilt the scales back to a more sensible majority in their legislature and overcome the problem. Sue the State in federal court in the interim, if need be.

Best way to show the country what these Relublican legislatures are up to is to shine a light on it, not confuse the issue with antics.

Lawgator1, could you please detail what provisions off the Georgia and Texas proposals that you deem to be wrong>

This. Who's funding the hotels and expenses in DC as well.

Beto O'Rourke

Escapade to DC by Texas Dems funded by Beto O’Rourke’s PAC

Why are they?

 

[clarksvol00]

Why are they?

Why are they walking out? Same reason as the TX dems, they aren't getting their way.

 

[Weezer]

And nobody in the MSM is calling them on their BS.

That's because the MSM is too busy fueling it.
