Texas Republicans have voted to track down and arrest dozens of Democratic legislators who have fled the state to block passage of a partisan redistricting plan.
The vote passed by 85 to 6, following Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s threat of bribery charges against the absent Democrats.
After the vote, the governor ordered state troopers “to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans”.
Texas Democrats should tell Piss Baby Abbott that they all went to Cancun cause of their families. Worked for Rafael Cruz.
Hopefully, Texas police realize they’re being given an unlawful order and arrest the dickweed who issued it.
LOL. Texas police don’t have brains.
Who exactly has abandoned their duty to Texas? The people eroding democracy in Texas. Abbot you fuckhead!
Y’all are one Reichstag fire away from invading Poland
Hi from Canada, we’re likely Poland in Nazi Boogaloo 2.
All I’m saying is that Canada and Mexico are going to need to step up their border defense game, just in case
Tx repugs are stupid beyond imagining
Isn’t this why they left the state in the first place? I fully expect Trump to employ ICE to track them down and bring them back, though and regardless of how illegal that is.
this just in, fascists don’t like their own methods! Lmao bunch of wusses.
don’t they lack quorum?
Do you think that is honestly going to stop them?
Gas chambers will be up and running before most of us even realize we’re using fascism. Wish I could find like ab ubternenchen survival guide
I like it when basement dwellers say Democrats don’t do anything while they’re literally having arrest warrants issued for them because they’re trying to prevent fascists from seizing more power.
I also like how these basement dwellers are completely unaware of any of the bills Democrats have passed that have massively helped average Americans because their goal is to whine, not educate themselves.
Passing bills is not enough. You need to “bring a knife to a knife fight” and Dems themselves say they’ve been bringing pencils up till now.
I love this new more feisty Democratic Party but it’s a new thing.
The world does not care about your fucking parties anymore, they suck and have failed resulting in this (you know having legislators hunted and arrested). The Democrats have failed, the Republicans have failed, your stupid two party system has failed and your nation is in full on collapse.
Yet here you are talking about how “basement dwellers” don’t have a good enough opinion of Democrats, as if they have not been a willing partner in this clown show. As if there is any chance that ether (of the current two) parties will be able or willing to return to some sort of normal.
Please from the rest of the world, Shut up or put up. Fix your shit or collapse already.
Case in point ☝️
Eat shit, fuckers.
Members who ja e abandoned their duty to Texans? Weird they’d self own like that, but here we are.
Gregg Abbott is un-American because he refuses to stand for the national anthem. And I also hear he’s a little piss baby.
Arresting political dissidents lol
Looks like the us is at that point. But I can’t wait for the bunch of videos about how “this time trump is cooked/done/finished/over” or some other nonsense about how america is not actually at the place it clearly is.
What does arresting Democrats have to due with duty to Texans ?
This dude wants to talk about duty to Texans? Wow man
Only four states, TX, IN, TN, and OR, have rules like this that require 2/3rds of members be present for legislation to be passed. The republicans in Oregon have done it so often that the voters passed (with 70% of the vote) a law that states that any legislator with 10 or more unexcused absences from votes cannot run for office again.
Democrats in Texas have done this to stop redistricting that could result in a fascist take over of the country. Republicans in OR have done this six times since 2019. They did it to block legislation on gun safety, reproductive health, education funding, cap and trade, COVID-19 restrictions, and once on redistricting.
Both sides are the same though amirite
Does seem like a good idea that has been fully abused
