Texas House Approves Arrest Warrants for Democrats Who Fled to Illinois to Block Redistricting Vote

In a bold move to uphold the rule of law and ensure democratic processes aren't hijacked by partisan theatrics, the Texas House has passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the runaway Democrats who fled to Illinois. These lawmakers abandoned their posts in a desperate attempt to block the adoption of constitutionally redrawn U.S. House maps — maps supported by President Donald Trump and designed to reflect the will of Texas voters. Rather than engage in the legislative process, these Democrats chose to obstruct it, and now face the consequences of their dereliction of duty.

On Monday, the Texas House passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the Democrats who left Texas for Illinois.

Abbott set a 3pm deadline for Monday to return to their home state, which many Democrats missed. They now face removal from office.

They need to think about how ridiculous and childish it looks to people who do their jobs responsibility, and without fanfare.

Vacate the legislative seats of these traitorous, felonious Demonicrats, perpwalk them back to Texas in handcuffs and leg irons, and thrown them into jail to await their trial, conviction, and sentence.

Everyone seems to harbor the delusion that there is going to be this reckoning where all the rest of the divided populace and the legacy media come out and admit that they were wrong to subscribe to the ends always justifiing the means. It's never going to happen.

Gov. Fata$$ flew the TX Dims to IL on his dime.

Gov. Abbot should indict him, and fly to IL several Texas Rangers who can bench press at least 300 lb.

Said Rangers then arrest Jabba the guv for facilitating interstate flight to avoid prosecution.

After cuffing Jabba the guv (using a daisy chain of 3-4 cuffs),he is wheeled ( )you think this blob can walk 400 yards on a tarmac?) on a direct flight to Austin.

Lock his fata$$ up!

“They need to think about how ridiculous and childish it looks to people who do their jobs responsibility, and without fanfare.”

Time for Texas Republicans to run ads in these democrat districts. “Texans are homeless, they are starving and their streets are becoming a cesspool. Instead of addressing these woeful conditions, democrats chose to take the cowardly route and run away. Texas is about heroes. It’s obvious democrats do not care.”

Only problem here is getting them extradited. So, if fatass wants to go to war with the Great State of Texas, there must be repercussions. Cut off natural gas and oil supplies.

When some wanted fled to Mexico years ago, if we really wanted them, we paid to have them kidnapped and brought to the border. Food for thought. Send a few Rangers up there, one Ranger for felon, and bring them back, preferably across a saddle.

Let's see...The Texas Democrats, who didn't like the new non gerrymandered redrawn districts, decided to protest in Illinois, where gerrymandered districts are an art form. Got it...

Go F Yourself, Dems..

Kabuki Theater: those arrest warrants have no force of law outside the boundaries of Texas, nor do any Texas LEOs have authority outside of those boundaries, either ...
