“””” President Donald Trump ordered Texas Republicans to extract five more seats in Congress to increase the odds that Republicans retain the House in the midterms.”””
Yeah, sure.
Abbott and the texas republicans have done nothing they claimed they were going to do, when the dems left the state.
no detentions, arrest, or removal from office.
I guess it shows how neutered the rino texans really are, despite all the big talk they do.
Have the Demonicrat even been fined $500/day or required to pay the expense for the special session? Has Beto Butthead been arrested and charged yet?
Is this all just political kabuki theater?!?!
President Donald Trump ordered Texas Republicans to extract five more seats “
A flat out lie from the creeps at Politco
At the news flash the Texas Dems are coming back, a while ago I said “I’ll believe it when I see it. Not that I think the Dems are lying, dog-faced pony soldiers.”
So days later they have a list of demands like fellow criminals who hold people hostage or kidnap someone.
“Demands.”
Good points.
The more people don’t actually, really incarcerate the guilty, then the innocent population more and more gives up all faith in the law and the legal system.
Then more and more will say “Why do I have to be a good little boy or good little girl? I have to obey the laws the corrupt, grifting, do nothing legislators and members of Congress pass for ME to follow but they and fellow crooks don’t?
That’s me since 1967 when I had an unfortunate brush with the legal system. I never will give up my grudge.
Excuse my ignorance, but how exactly are they in a position to make demands for anything? Declare the seats vacated and ram it down their throats. In fact? Go a step further and come up with even creative redistricting to add an additional 5+ seats on top of the 5 already on the table.
“Abbott and the texas republicans have done nothing they claimed they were going to do, when the dems left the state.”
You expected them to? They’re politicians.
” On our return, kick all of those POOR homeless squatters out of our homes! “
“ A flat out lie from the creeps at Politco.”
Sue politico for a couple hundred million.
If they don’t find those Texas Democrats soon, it’s possible JB Pritzker ate them. Just like Joe Biden’s uncle, poor guy.
The only things missing are the fancy costumes.
You’re aware that these things take time? This is not an instant gratification that today’s folks expects to happen. Folks send a text you expect an immediate response and then call repeatedly wondering WTF is wrong.
I answer a texts maybe once a day, seldom if ever pick up a phone call because of its important someone will leave a message.
Text me, call my home phone and then cell phone and repeat hoping I’ll respond..you go to the end of the line.
emmmmm.....
the first vote was almost 2 weeks ago.
all this big texan talk about what the republicans were going to do, was suppose to happen if they didn’t show up last friday.
the texas republicans are all talk, with no spine or anything else, to back anything up
Redistrict the state house so the Democrats can save money by having to transport, feed and house fewer of them when they run.
Is this all just political kabuki theater?!?!
yes. always has been.
texas style.
all hat, no cattle.
I guess that Texas Republicans should have forgotten the courts and just have the Rangers to shoot the varmints on the ground.
