So, when Texas Democrat State Representatives don’t get their way, what do they do?

They RUN AWAY to places like…

Illinois

New York

Massachusetts 

And other Damn Yankee States.

Bwaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

Now, wait for it!

Here it comes…some narrative follower is gonna try to explain it away…

Wait for it!

This ain't the first time this has happened.  It'll work itself out.

Say, what about that jobs numbers gal getting fired for telling the truth...to someone that runs away from it like an illegal from an ICE raid.

I had to get one in to let you know I'm still kickin'.🙃

They're trying to save crockpot's seat.

And a big "seat" it is.

Just stalling the inevitable, but it would have been hilarious if they all went to Cancun.

Sounds like gerrymandering to me? Republicans are pretty notorious for it.  I’ll need to read more about Texas and this situation.

Rounds em' back up, drives em' back into the corral, calls another special session.

They ultimately have to vote.

That's what happened before.

That is exactly the case. Trump wants 5 seats.

Of course no one mentions that illegals are counted in the census, and they are used by congressional democrats to get extra seats. So Democrats benefit from illegal immigration.

Gerrymandering you say? CA has 40 something % conservative voters, but guess how the representation seats are divided.

43 seats go to the dems and only 9 go to the conservatives. How's that for a gerrymandered state?

I'm really good pard.  The neck fusion (C4-7) has been amazingly painless.  Still have trouble swallowing solid food.  Kind of a big deal for someone that bites twice to make sure it stops wiggling and swallows.  Chewing really puts a hitch in my giddy up.

As to the jobs gal...my understanding is that she had nothing to do with it more than standing at the podium reading from the paper she was given.  Where are we....Sparta?

Trump called abbott to tell him he needed 5 more seats in the mid terms so Abbott called a special session to redistrict.  redistricting usually happens every 10 years(during the census) but grandpa is so worried about losing the majority in congress he wants Texas to redistrict now. 

That is authoritarian.

Where is Trumps evidence that the numbers weren’t accurate?  The burden of proof should be on him to show she was faking them.

Apparently,  the "head" of that dept is really just a talking head.  The statistitons gather and crunch and she reads the results.  

This really is a case of "killing the messager".

What is your version of events?  For just this one specific thing. 

There is literally video of trump saying he needed 5 seats and he called Abbott.

What charge would they actually be arrested for?  I’m not necessarily supporting their actions, but does every legislator who misses a floor debate or vote get arrested?  

I know that each state has different laws regarding their legislatures, but the republican legislators who did this a few years ago in Oregon were barred from reelection. Not sure the reasoning or if that would/could occur here. 

The redistricting is bullshit, obviously, as Texas does it every 10 years after the census and it occurred in 2021.  But the best place to fight it is the courts.

No, what it is, the democratic talking point handed out

Hochul, fat boy pritzker, and even good ol' beto has crawled back up above ground to spread the word.

 

This is just another, orange man bad, temper tantrum.

Been seeing them as regular as clockwork all year.

Trips to el Salvador, gate crashing illegal alien holding facilities, charging homeland security pressers, and crying about being put on the ground and dragged out, filbusters, gatherings on the Capitol steps.

And the out of tune singing.

And now bringing back a rerun, of running out.

The next three years will be most entertaining. Both in the headlines, and here with the whining by you, and your cohorts.
