The Speaker is BELOW a RINO....he’s a DEMOCRAT and he gives his fellow Democrats CHAIRMANSHIPS!
Exactly right. When the commie dems are in power, they don’t offer committee chairmanships to republicans. Unless of course they are fellow travelers. Also, I believe the whole episode when Phelan was at the podium, sounding drunk, was a ploy to lure Paxton to look into the issue, thus setting off the whole impeachment inquiry. I told my wife that the day it happened. Scumbags like Phelan need to be driven out.
“The Speaker is BELOW a RINO....he’s a DEMOCRAT and he gives his fellow Democrats CHAIRMANSHIPS!”
Well, slightly in his defense, that’s been a Texas tradition. But that was then...when state-level Democrats were nearly as conservative as Republicans. Now it’s night and day, and state-level Democrats here in Texas are just as bad as national Democrats.
In the State Senate they responded to that challenge by simply lowing the threshold for overriding a filibuster so that the Democrats could not, on their own, block legislation. Again, in the past, Democrats did not behave that way here - now they do, so the Senate took care of that problem.
Now House Republicans have some explaining to do - 75% of them voted to impeach a FELLOW REPUBLICAN without even having his conviction lined up (obviously). It would be like Pelosi’s House voting to Impeach Biden, just to have Shumer’s Senate given them the finger...in other words, it would NEVER happen, and never has.
This is just weird - even pure corruption makes it difficult to understand how 75% OF REPUBLICANS could vote that way in House.
