WATCH: Texas Democrats Sing We Shall Overcome (Twice) After Absconding to D.C. With Beer (FAA violations may total $1.3 million for no masks)
Mediaite via MSN ^ | 7/13/21 | Caleb Howe

Texas Democrats split the state this week to prevent a quorum from being reached and thus block (or “filibuster” if you will) passage of a bill by the duly elected majority in the Texas legislature. Upon arriving in D.C., the vacationers broke out in a spontaneous performance of “We Shall Overcome.” Then they spontaneously did it again the next day, coincidentally following little media coverage of the first show.

Performance one began during an on-the-tarmac presser late Monday night. The Democrats, arriving as they were from many hours on the beer bus and the maskless private and/or chartered flight (in violation of FAA rules and CDC guidelines), held their first presser quite late, on the tarmac of the airport, before departing to their temporary quarters in D.C. to weather the sacrifice and hardship of the trip.

On Tuesday, with more press and attention and the benefit of daylight and make-up, they put on a reprise performance on the Capitol steps. It was a somewhat shorter spontaneous display the second time around, but no less off-the-cuff and magnificently historic.

Meanwhile in Texas, lawmakers who remained at work took the opportunity to fulfill every politician’s most deeply held dream and authorized arrest warrants for their colleagues.

Think of all the problems that could be solved in the United States if we could all put out arrest warrants for co-workers who don’t show up.

I wonder how many Trump-supporting people of color Deep State disenfranchised with The Steal.

Those people would like to overcome.

But Deep State doesn’t like it when they do that, do they...

One look down that aisle is all you need to understand the reason we’re in such a shit-show.

[Abbott says he will extend the special session indefinitely AND suspend pay until the spoiled brats return to do their jobs.]

Good.

The very idea these morons fled to D.C. is further proof they're clueless when it comes to a Constitutional Republic.

Nope, FAA fines do not apply to Demolishcrats.

I do hope they all remember to report this as ‘income’ on their federal tax forms...

They are “aggressively stupid” which is the worst kind of stupid. This is a plane of the dumbest of the dumb. Sadly, even Texas has to put up with these idiots.

When democrats are losing, they either change the rules or run away. These people aren’t Texas “freedom fighters” as they call themselves. They are running away.
185 years ago they would have fled from the Alamo too.

I'm going to say it again. Women should never have been given the voting franchise. Nor non-land/property owners.

You’re only seeing part of the picture. The “women” are between two groups of “men” in the front as well as the back.

so they did not sing the black national anthem?
“we shall overcome” is second runner up.

It’s good as long as they can’t pass anything. The last thing Texas needs is a legislature in session all the time. Abbott needs to go IMO, he moves with the political wind and isn’t very smart.
