Texas Dems plan to flee the State to thwart voting on several GOP measures introduced in the Special Session called by Gov Greg Abbott.

Pay attention if you want to see Dem Strategy at work! This is a continuation of Resist and Obstruct. They are going to flee to DC and hold a "Voters Rights" rally.

The Republican Senators in Oregon did the same thing last session in order to prevent a gun control bill (and one other bill) from going through. It was their only option as the Ds have a super majority, but not enough for a quorum.

Killer Bees again!

Yes, it's not just a Dem tactic.

Just another sign of our extremely polarize political situation.

They’ll go to DC because they know they’ll be protected there from any Texas law enforcement attempt to bring them back.

Winner!

They'll have to come back sometime and face their constituents. It probably won't go well for them in the long run.

Unfortunately most Texas democrats are from the big urban areas so their constituents are mostly welfare deadbeats.

Start extradition proceedings now.

Yep.

What an apt name...

LOL.

Those who do this crap will be praised for it by those ho voted them in.

What part of “protected” do you not understand?

This is strictly a Demonrat tactic.

They may have to stay in DC for 30 days.Abbot will also suspend their pay during their period of cowardice..lol

Abbott should be able to replace anybody who's gone for thirty days with somebody of his choice.

Please read logger's post again.

Can't understand why any of the R's in DC cannot seem to understand that they need to obstruct the Demons all the time on all issues.

The word "bi-partisanship" should be banned from their vocabulary...................but sadly, they fall all over themselves to help the Demons pass more schitty legislation day in, day out.

MM

The Demonrat Party has been using this tactic since 1924.They even flee the state.

It's a Demonrat tactic that has backfired on themselves on numerous occasions.

This was all set up in meetings when Kamala was visiting El Paso a couple weeks back.

It ain't by accident they just happened to have chartered jets waiting to take them to D.C.

Cowards and Crooks.

Put something on the agenda the dims want badly and promise their liberal urban constituents they will do. If they fail to show, use that failure to act against them in their own districts during election season. If they do show, just shoot down whatever it might be.

Yep. Get a Rope!

Just keep calling special sessions, and calling this up for a vote. Maybe they’ll stay gone for YEARS....

Cost the state over a million$$ to call a special session.

All democrats are scum.

Here's a photo of the traitors taking a chartered bus to their chartered jets to desert Texas.

I see they have their priorities straight... Gotta have beer. Well, kinda... Miller Lite ain't really beer, but they'll never know the difference.

And their theme song is ?

Fire some tracers past them as they go so they don't get any notions about coming back.

Wait until the jet is in the air...

And another prime example of why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Or hold Office.

And I’ll bet half the “men” on that bus are GAY.

Typical DemoRat’s, though. 😡

Bleeders and phags. That's the face of the democrat party.

Damn. You read my mind before I had time to edit my post. 🤠

I love how they rape the language yet again claiming to be for "voters' rights". How about the right to vote and have it actually count in a lawful election bitches?

And those are Texas state politicians.......

SMH....

Look like welfare rats themselves for the most part.


Who in the fugg is paying all this for these fuggtards to go on vacation????

They are heroes to their constituents.

They’re DemoRat’s Rene. What’d ya expect ? 😜

Hoping for a contrail of flames. dems are so self righteous an d arrogant that they truly believe evil can be perpetrated for good.

They are doing this in an attempt to prevent a quorum which requires at least one member of the DEM Party to be present. What they should do is have one of the GOP members "officially" switch to the DEM Party, cast their vote in favor of the bill and then "officially" switch back to the GOP. Simple, devious, and effective. Problem Solved.

Too bad Gov Abbott can’t fine and expel them. 😡😡😡

That's pretty damn clever.

From The Conservative Tree House

"Of course, Texas officials could play hardball, but they won’t.

The Texas AG could issue subpoenas post them to each office-holder for 72 hrs, then the state governor Greg Abbott could issue XO arrest warrants for non-compliance. It won’t happen because those running the state of Texas are purple, not red (it’s an open secret down there). Texas is not as conservative as people think; exactly the opposite is true… just review their conduct during COVID.

Texas is to Republican as Republican is to Mitch McConnell."

Same here!

Hatari: Sort of sad to see this happening in the once great state of Texas!
Seems the demonrats have no bounds and of course we all know they have no morals.
But, Texas?
I am still baffled by the nation wide campaign on the part of elected demonrats to do every thing they can think of to diminish and destroy this country?
Including but not limited to expanding the welfare rat roles, destroying our borders, importing third world demonrat voters and welfare rats, creating hate and division in our communities, destroying our energy self reliance, indoctrinating our children, destroying any and all traditional American values, eroding our citizens constitutional rights, spending our country into oblivion and on and on and on!
I am beginning to believe the demonrat party IS an active tool of the ccp (chinese communist party) and putin!
I have poo-pooed this "conspiracy theory" for the last 30 - 40 years but I can now see NO other explanation.
Sad.
Long live Texas (I hope!).
Hold into the wind

Perfect response. Still doc the paychecks of the Dems and their staff.
I wonder if charges could be brought against the entity or person who chartered the bus/plane.

For my Texas friends: or anyone that may know.

At what point does/can it be assumed that the seat is vacant? How long of an absence would that be? MUST it be a death??? Once an absence or vacancy is established can Abbott then call for a special election or appoint a replacement?

VG - This is my analysis of the Democrat strategy.

1.) They miss the complete control they had in Congress and lawmaking they enjoyed from 1932-94 virtually uninterrupted. They ran the show. They want that back. Everything they do at the national, state, and local level is designed solely to gain power in Washington.

2.) They do not care about the consequences. Not a bit. They figure any mess they make they can fix once they have 300 seats in the House and 60 in the Senate.

3.) Anything goes to get them there. Unemployment at 7-10%, unfettered invasion from Central America, cities that are lawless and ungovernable are all acceptable to reach the goal.

4.) Anyone who stands in their way MUST be punished, cancelled, and nullified.


There you go. Applies to all Democrat moves currently.

“As soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested, they will be cabined inside the Texas Capitol until they get their job done,” Abbott stated. “Everybody who has a job must show up to do that job, just like your viewers on watching right now. State representatives have that same responsibility.”

Abbott also said the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives Dade Phelan (R) can “issue a call to have these members arrested.”

Phelan, who was elected speaker on January 12, 2021, issued a statement Monday, only saying he “expects all members to be present in our Capitol in order to immediately get to work on” election integrity.

Abbott continued to press the withdrawn Democrats by stating he will “continue to call a special session after special session after special session all the way up until election next year.”

“And so if these people want to be hanging out wherever they’re hanging out on this taxpayer-paid junket, they’re going to have to be prepared to do it for well over a year,” the Texas governor warned.

Pretty good analysis.

They don't care about consequences because they never have any. Ever.

That needs to change.

Those selfies make them appear to be level headed and mature individuals.

Who payed for those chartered jets and the accommodations in DC. If taxpayer funds were utilized it should be used as a hammer. Can the gov control/punish those funds' use?

Texas House Votes to Send Law Enforcement to Arrest Democrats Who Fled State to Block GOP From Passing Voting Laws

https://twitter.com/nickabc13/status/1414968788789911552

I also think a camera or two showing up where the fools work (if they do) and asking their employers how long do the intend to allow the employee to lay out of work would be a great idea.

Abbott plans to arrest their sorry asses !!!

I'll double down on this theme by saying that Liberal Progressives believe in therre cause to "make the world better" so much that they are perfectly willing to force those who oppose to conform.

- take your guns
- take your fossil fuels
- give your job/position to minorities
- give college slots to minorities over your kids
- take your money for wealth distribution


Bewcause they are convinced that they can make America more "fair" and "nicer". And if you don't knuckle under they will destroy you because they are nicer and more fair and open minded.

(Insert sarcasm emoji)

I'd rather they just stay in D.C. with the rest of the criminals.

Yep. About time the Heavens opened up for a meteorite strike on that whole Fuqking area

Defund their "junket"; or what ever you call fleeing their elected responsibility to ALL voters

It's simply a sign of good politics staying within the rules by a minority party. Oregon Repubs did the same about a year back and saved us a fortune in potential taxes. Despite threats, no one will be arrested.

I'd have the Texas Air National Guard order the plane to turn around?

Which in my opinion, is a totally useless alternative

I’d send a small plane load of TX Rangers arrest their sorry asses.
Then buy them a ticket on a Grehound and make them ride that stinky SOB all the way home.

So you would send law enforcement from texas to arrest people in another state huh??? I guess it’s good that you have no say in the matter.

Happens all the time.... what's the problem?

He’s too stupid to understand that. Typical Libertard.

That would have been great.

Lol, Mr. two degrees........
