Let's not forget they're still pissed about losing voters with the voter ID laws.

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

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?

That’s the point.  It’s bullshit when either side does it.

Texans that run away when they’re upset about their political losses

That’s what this is all about. 

And that’s so not very Texan.

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.

Are you denying that trump called for Texas to redraw there congressional maps?  Because there is video of him saying it, buttercup.

Gerrymandering. See how easy it is to call out both sides?  Ironically for you, in 2021 the democrats tried to pass a law to make it illegal but lo and behold the republicans wouldn’t vote for it.

Hat tip to you sir. Even though it falls on deaf ears. Burn will change the topic, and or move the goal post.

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?

I looked for all those posts you made during the previous election cycles with all your outrage about it. You know, the years the dems were doing it, but I just couldn't find them. But now we're not supposed to talk about it when the "r"s are doing it also? Hmmm

Nope, just go over her #s the last few years and see how wrong they are. You'd get fired from any job with that kind of bad performance.

Times of economic volatility and change will skew the numbers. The initial reports use seasonal change and patterns over time to estimate the job growth or loss. Average discrepancy is around 60,000. 

For the life of me I can’t think of anything that would be causing economic uncertainty in May or June…

Thats nothing.  I have seen liberals gerry-mander WAY WAY more complicated districts so they can clump enough minorities together to get what they want.   This shit is nothing new,  its only shoved in your face right now because libtards are on the losing end of this this go-round.  Usually its liberals who are getting shit redrawn to round up as many people they can together and thats how you end up with morons like Shiela Jackson Lee, Jasmine Crockett and all those other low IQ bottom feeders.

Love how the sheep only now express outrage because the DNC, err,  Media has brought it to their attention.    Where were all you bellowing sheep when this crap was being done in Texas the past 4 census?

It'd be interesting to see the origins of those Texas districts (familiar with those in the Houston area up until the mid 90's) and the areas that they've annexed. 

And the living conditions of the original. dem run, districts.

And how the dems have improved the lives of those living in those districts (wards).

🤣😂🤣

I doubt much has been improved since I left.

 

Once again, this is another example of what gets the dems up and fighting, criminal illegal aliens, and anything that's a threat to their own personal political power ($$$).

That’s an interesting point. Texas was a heavy Blue state until the mid 80s when both parties began moving to the edges. Begging the question: is it gerrymandering or recalibrating?  A democrat has not been elected to a statewide office (re: gerrymandering is irrelevant) since Ann Richards. Have congressional districts changed to reflect Texas’ new normal?

PS: Texas democrats need to stay and vote. If the gerrymandering is illegal, fight it in the courts.

I think you are reading me wrong. I'm not hurling attacks. You mentioned you have seen a crazier district than the Texas 33rd, I just wanted to see an example.
