As Texas Democrats live out the words of a Willie Nelson song, the country music legend is among those chipping in so that Democratic legislators who fled the state do not have to return to Texas, where a vote on election integrity awaits.
Nelson’s “On the Road Again” could serve as the soundtrack for the flight of Democrats, with these lyrics:
We’re the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way Is on the road again.
Democrats who are determined to avoid having to sit in the legislative chamber while Republicans pass election reforms with which they disagree fled Texas on Monday as a tactic to deny the GOP the quorum needed to pass any legislation. A similar stunt in 2003 delayed but did not torpedo redistricting legislation.
Nelson and former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke are among those helping defray the costs of Texas Democratic legislators who are ensconced at the Washington Plaza Hotel in D.C., where they have vowed to suffer in four-star surroundings until the special session called by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott expires, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Any body who ever thought that Willie Nelson was a singer or musician was just stupid and tone deaf.
He always sounded like he had his balls caught in a blender and his guitar playing was so pedestrian it was pathetic.
He’s never been and never will be anything other than a stupid dope smoking jerkoff.
