"“We were on the floor together last night. You never know for whom the bell will toll next,” Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) who was ejected from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting Trump’s remarks. "

Was death slightly off target? 🤔

In the case of Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death, the process for replacing him will follow these guidelines. As of now, the exact steps and timeline for the special election have not been detailed, but the governor will likely call for a special election to fill the vacant seat.

The specific details of the upcoming special election and the candidates who will run will be determined by local and state authorities in Texas.

At least he got to hear the speech. I do not know if he was getting ready to convert to the GOP but, may the Lord have mercy on his soul.

That's two deaths from reps for that district. It's almost like becoming the new "head" of a terrorist organization. It's not a promotion. It's moving up the hit list.

Perhaps Greg Abbott can appoint a Representative more in line with Trumps policies.

Sylvester Turner, like James Garfield before him, as named after a cartoon cat. Neither one lived long in office.

You never know for whom the bell will toll next

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls - it tolls for thee.

Hopefully...
