**Abbots cla8m that he was going to arrest these pos was all bs spewing from the mouth of a politician.

Abbot gotta go. He is a way biggly part of the problem**

I don’t think arresting a returning Democrat who surrenders is good for anybody. What about the Dems who aren’t surrendering?

Well, the only reason he said he was going to arrest them was to bring them to the State House.

If they’ve come to the State House why on earth would you arrest them?

If Abbott fails to arrest these two as he said he would, he will be viewed as a pansy.

They can only be arrested on Texas. Which is why they left the state. Try educating yourself before you snark.

That is NOT what what he said to begin with. Arrest them, no terms about it. Now he says DPS will arrest them, take them to Austin and lock them in.

You can bet your arse, they are not locked in and free to walk free.

I have waited two terms for this rising star to ACTUALLY do what he spews. Waiting time is over. He gotta go.

... to negotiate with Republicans over their voting legislation...

Negotiation leads to compromise. Compromising with bad policy is like adding some sewage to your drinking water.
