Aren’t the Dems supposed to be REPLACED today?

“Possible arrest“
In other words no arrest.
I hope this isn’t yet another capitulation.

Ditto.
😡
The rats helped make this guy speaker just like the awful guy he replaced. That probably tells us much.
Is this action designed to achieve results, or to look like the intentions are to achieve results?
In Oregon, Republicans did this and the Democrats made them unable to run for office ever again and their supreme court approved it.

TX also needs to furlough (without pay) all of the Democrat House Staff employees since their boss is not at his/her office.
The squawking will be fun to watch.
Possible"? "Possible"?! ""POSSIBLE"?!?
Make that "Guarandamnteed"!!!
YEP ... This guy Burrows is no better than Strauss the LOUSE!!
Sorry Surrender Monkeys but you’d best just step away from this one. The good guys are kicking ash.
Just maybe, some of the people who will pick up their check aren’t subject to arrest, kind of like all the republicans. Those that have outstanding warrants will be arrested, not the innocents.
Don’t mess with Texas!
Can’t trust Burrows as far as you can throw him.... RINO SOB.
It seems they changed their mind about kicking the Democrats out of their seat. If they really did send the FBI after, then they should be arrested by now ‘cause everyone knows where they are.
If it just read ‘will be arrested’ everyone that shows up to get their check would have to be arrested, not just the dems that have warrants for their arrest . Do you think the dems wouldn’t push this point?
