It's hard to craft a narrative of sacrifice and selfless patriotic heroism with a box of Miller Lite next to your seat.
Texas's Democrat legislators, who dramatically fled the state to prevent a quorum on a vote for a voter-integrity law, had it all worked out beforehand that they'd be hailed as heroes for democracy.
They planned a flight together, got on together, and then were to fly as a group to Washington to plead their case and make their stand as champions of claimed "voting rights," as the media would fawn.
But somehow, things didn't quite gone as planned.
They've actually become people the public is laughing at. They didn't quite get every detail for the heroic narrative right.
Start with the flight: They got on their flight together and posed for a group selfie, but forgot some important details. One was that they weren't wearing masks, despite dictating it for others. Two was that the private flight seems to have been paid for by a Lebanese hedge fund manager, which if true, makes it even more gamy. Three, it was a private plane, and these people hector us on global warming. Four, alert Internet sleuths spotted a big box of Miller Lite beer taking up one of the seats and drew their own conclusions.
The flight became an "insane party plane" as Trish Regan noted. Everyone wondered whether they'd been already swigging the beer early given their happy no-mask faces.
After that, they got off the plane and immediately got to work taking selfies on the tarmac. Sound like modern-age George Washingtons at Valley Forge as they've positioned themselves? Nope, more like cossetted spoiled brats or maybe overgrown college students.

I hope Abbott has them arrested and put in cells with the worst of the worst overnight until they get a bail hearing.
Or, maybe they can be treated like the Jan 6 trespass detainees!
Make a one time exception and allow for absentee mail in votes?
So childish these liberals are. They can’t even drink real beer. Probably get light headed after a swig.
They looked like a group of middle aged women, having a girls vacation or girls night out.
Texas’s Democrat legislators pimping their Marxism in any form they can find they don’t hide it any more.
Hired to do a Job and then runs away when they have to work
I am very confused about something.
We are told that filibusters are bad, because filibusters in Washington prevent legislation from being passed.
Yet these Texas Democrats voted with their feet, and created a filibuster type situation, as their absence prevents the Texas legislature from passing legislation.
So what exactly is the liberal view? If the liberal view is that actions which prevent legislation from being voted on are bad, how can the Texans justify their actions in keeping legislation from being voted on? In effect, they are filibustering the Texas legislature.
At least, if they are intellectually honest, Democrats must admit that the Texas Democrats are going against the narrative that keeping legislation from being voted on. And that this goes against their high principles as Democrats.
Put up Wanted Posters everywhere ,LOL
They fancy themselves representatives of the poor and downtrodden who will never ride in a chartered jet like these phonies did.
They are too dumb to recognize this is not a power play but actually reflects their powerlessness !
Like a child who “runs away from home” but has no place to go, they cannot stay away forever. They will have to return to Texas, completely humiliated.
Who’s paying their bills and will they claim it on their taxes ?
A 30 pack of Miller Lite seems to work with these imbeciles.
Actually, Democrat pols only job is to kill careers, spread poverty and misery, and maintain personal power.
Can we get #fleebag trending on Twitter?
The only high principles the democrats have is to stay in power forever it’s why this is their last massive Marxist move to rig the election system at all angles.
We have a fake president and VP the party is making all the moves with the help of the media they know their party is on it’s death bed.
One can only wonder how much clout China has with their party.
