A Texas Democrat said Monday the runaways will need $1.5 million to stay in D.C. until August 7 - while another member admitted it was a mistake to go maskless on private jets after five contracted COVID.

Fundraising efforts ensued last week to help pay for the trip as the group insists no taxpayer money is being used for their stunt.

State Representative Armando Walle told NBC News in a report published Monday that the cost of keeping the group of around 60 lawmakers in the nation's capital for the remainder of the special session would reach around $1.5 million.

“Sec. 2. Immediate Action to Require Mask-Wearing on Certain Domestic Modes of Transportation.

“(a) Mask Requirement...the Secretary of Transportation (including through the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)), the Secretary of Homeland Security (including through the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard), and the heads of any other executive departments and agencies (agencies) that have relevant regulatory authority (heads of agencies) shall immediately take action, to the extent appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to require masks to be worn in compliance with CDC guidelines in or on:

“(i) airports; (ii) commercial aircraft; (iii) trains; (iv) public maritime vessels, including ferries...

“Masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States...”

That “private jet” was a “commercial aircraft”.

Each Democrat aboard should be required to pay the $250 fine you or I would be expected to pay.

I wonder what foreign government is footing the hotel bill for these traitors. The consulate of Lebanon paid for their charter jet. What a bunch of crooks. Whichever ones don't die of covid in DC, I hope the survivors get arrested the minute they set foot back in Texas.

You'd think the government of Lebanon would have better things to spend money on than these losers, like rebuilding the port that blew up, or patching up all the bullet holes in buildings in Beirut.

IIRC Texas Rangers can not operate across State lines, but Bounty Hunters can.

Can’t Texas get some “Dog the Bounty Hunter” types on their tails???

“Their mistake was being lying Democrat scumbags.”

It is near bedtime in the mansion districts of DC.

Make the bastards quarantine in a parking garage. It was fine to have the National Guard sleep on one while they were protecting the evil doers from the Great Insurrection.

Is it normal for a vaccinated person to contract the disease they’ve been inoculated against? How many cases of diphtheria, pertussis, rubella, and smallpox do fully vaccinated Americans contract each year?

Is this vaccine a vaccine at all?

Too bad it wasn’t all of them, and it wasn’t something more exotic like a hemorrhagic fever.

Amazing how so many Trump staffers got C19. Almost like something got sprayed through the vents.

Do state house legislatures have a rule, regulation or law stating that after so many unexcused absences the seat is vacated and a replacement is in order??

If not, why not???

I believe that I read where the TX representative statehouse still had a quorum and have passed bills since these idiots left. So my thought is, who gives a flying crap if these losers left and went to DC. Just makes passing bills easier for those left in Austin.

In a good year, flu vaccines are about 40 to 50 percent effective at reducing the risk of infection.

The flu vaccine is a guess about which likely variant will predominate. I referenced specifically the targeted scheduled vaccines nearly every child receives. Are you suggesting the panel of vaccines children receive is only 50% effective?

I was never good at math. How many THOUSANDS of them are there, to come up with that bill?
