Fleebag Texas legislators become figures of fun
American Thinker ^ | 14 Jul, 2021 | Monica Showalter

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.

Jail the Texas Congressmen who abandoned their duty, release them when the January 6 people are released from prison.

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.

First, Dems are not intellectually honest or honest in any way. Second, “but that's different” is one of their primary tenets so they never admit to lying or hypocrisy. Since the propaganda media goes along with whatever the Dems want, they do not get called on their hypocricy.

Wisconsin Socialist Democrats did this in 2011 when we had Governor Walker (R, WI). They were avoiding a vote on Act 10 which was busting up public worker unions.

Many of them were NOT re-elected, so waive bye-bye to the Texas Fleebags, too! I don’t see this as a bad thing at all. ;)

Reading a few other snippets from that time, I see the Texas Fleebags also did this in 2003 and Indiana Socialist Democrats have done this in the past as well.

They are co-conspirators in the commission of a Crime.

Too bad they didn’t end up like the Malaysian Airliner and disappear into Don Lemon’s Black Hole.

Does DC have a Extradition Agreement with Texas?

One of the best attacks on scum like this is laughter. That is why the late night “comics” spent so much time lying about DJTrump and making their tools laugh. It works. Next time some TWOT gets up in a teacher’s meeting or city council and spouts lies about racism or CRT, just laugh. If you get serious stares, just say “I thought no one could possibly be serious about such crappola, so I thought it was a joke.”

There is no way that fleeing from their jobs counts as a work expense. At best this was a gift tied to their employment. At worst it was a bribe. Both of those are taxable income. They better get a 1099 for the full retail value of a chartered jet and pay taxes on it or they should be arrested for tax fraud on April 16 next year.

Maybe them spend 2 weeks in quarantine, since they weren’t wearing their masks.
