Gov. Abbott warns Democrats who fled over GOP map could be removed or prosecuted

[Jezcoe]

@CLAX1911 entire argument is based on California hypothetically doing something Texas is actually doing.

Even though California put in place a system to prevent this very thing from happening.

And by that it can be proclaimed that both sides are the same.

No you misunderstood the hypothetical was to put someone in someone else's shoes to think how this fight sees if it was for something they supported.

I don't think Abbott has the power and I don't think you should have the power to bring any enforcement against these people.

You're hung up on California it's not relevant.

Its kind of funny because House Republicans fled Washington to avoid voting on a pedophile who was close friends with Trump.

Gov. Abbott warns Democrats who fled over GOP map could be removed or prosecuted

"Real Texans do not run from a fight. But that’s exactly what most of the Texas House Democrats just did," Gov. Greg Abbott said in response to Dems breaking quorum.

Fascist scumbag piece of shit in charge of the theocratic and fascist hellscape known as Texas, threatens to remove democratic politicians and prosecute them for not showing up and allowing the GOP in Texas to continue on with their gerrymandering bullshit in an attempt to rig Congress to keep the GOP in control.

I am sure you had the same reaction when Oregon prevented Republican lawmakers who walked out from running from reelection. Right?

Post-GOP walkout, Oregon elections chief says lawmakers with 10 or more absences can't run next term

Oregon's elections chief says the 10 Republican state senators who had more than 10 unexcused absences during a walkout in the most recent legislative session can’t run for reelection in 2024.

Think about us if she was on the other foot and California was hurting to confiscate guns from all the people it's just picture the hypothetical Republicans know they don't have enough seats to win the vote but they have constituents to serve what should they do stand there nobody and lose their rights or fight with tooth and nail in the risk in prison and to make sure that that never happens I don't think the governor should have this power. I may not give a crap about gerrymandering but there's other places in the United States where they are fighting about things I do care about.

I guarantee you if West Virginia was trying to ban the teaching of religion any parent in a child is the Republicans walked out these people will be freaking out.

The reason you don't care about gerrymandering is because Republicans are doing it.

Why would they? Republicans are in a cult right now obsessed with a child rapist who is driving our economy over a cliff. Someone has to put a stop to it. Gotta start somewhere.

 

[SCrider]

Funny, isn't it, that gerrymandering Democrats out of 5 districts takes precedence in this special legislative session that was supposed to deal with the recent flash floods that took so many lives in the state a mere month ago.....

That was a whole month ago these assholes don't care about that anymore. They know their MAGA base has moved on already.

This guy is for real?

 

[Fearandloathing]

Sure looks as if Abbott and his fellow Lone Star Republicans aren't all that interested in "doing something" about the fact flash floods took so many lives in the Hill Country a mere month ago.

Wasn't this tragedy the reason the state legislature's special session was called?

Flash floods?

There were flash floods?

But the democrats......

Wow, did your goalposts come with the wheels pre installed or did you have to do it yourself?

You people are in the service of one man over the country. If you expanded to a political party over country, it would be an improvement.

Does your internet package include responses later than 2005?

Yeah, Democrats were worried about masks and “superspreader events,” except when Antifa rioters were massing in order to burn and spray-paint their way across the country. What a bunch of clowns.

It seems the Republican Governor doesn’t actually have the power to arrest them.

Kick 'em out of the legislature. The Republicans will have a quorum when there are fewer legislators.

In fact, it is required by law.

What procedure should they follow to do that?
