When they weren’t, instead of declaring them unlawful assemblies as they should have, Democrats did little to stop the rioting. That’s why Trump said this time around he wound send in the military to protect federal law enforcement officers and maintain order. Democrats suck at that, too.

Yeah, there is. If if you can put “anarcho” in front of something (anarcho-capitalist, anarcho-communist, anarcho-socialist…), someone’s invented it. Antifa is really an informal, loose confederation of people who hold varying leftist ideologies and share one thing in common: they have a basic antipathy towards capitalists and rich people.

Right, protecting the lives of police officers and government property is very important to Donald 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.

He lacks the authority to do any of it.

He's a corrupt assclown fascist zealot asshole in a wheelchair.

Those people are democratically elected. Inbred Jed and his buddy the AG DO NOT have the authority to remove an elected official on a whim.

This type of bullshit is why I have always favored keeping a federal boot on the necks of the governments of some states.

All of the republican leadership in Texas needs to be forced to serve time in one of their own un-airconditioned prisons.

The government of Texas is completely corrupt and has been for some time.

Nope.

The governments of those states are little more than a criminal cabal. They have long been able to carry out elections without supervision due to rampant racism.

This is exactly the same.

They will follow the law, or they will sit in a cell.

You are so deluded to the criminality on both sides of the uniparty that it is sad. I hope that your hatred keeps you warm at night.

Anarcho socialists are just referred to as anarchists in most places but yes they indeed exist. Anarcho capitalists just lead to feudalism so they cant realistically be classified as anarchists.

I am not.

Certain states had to be placed under federal control because they refused to hold free and fair elections. Alabama was one of these states.

Justice Department Sues Alabama for Violating Federal Law’s Prohibition on Systematic Efforts to Remove Voters Within 90 Days of an Election

The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Alabama and the Alabama Secretary of State to challenge a systematic State program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election, in violation of the National Voter...

Because anarchists don't believe in economic systems.

Yes they do… lol…. I speak with a lot of anarchists. They dont believe in most hierarchies and seek to flatten them as much as possible. I dont think theres really anyone that wants to get rid of all economic systems.

Problem with that analogy is that Abbott is not their boss.

The people who voted for them are.

I know y’all are dancing along behind the fascist train but it doesn’t actually make a governor the boss of democratic legislators.

Yesterday's news shows that our runaway Democrats are responsible for hindering the special legislature's flood response work.

The special session continues for Texas lawmakers. Two of the biggest topics include the response to deadly floods that occurred in Central Texas on July 4 and redistricting to change the state's congressional maps. Hearings have been underway for both topics, with the public making their voices heard. -- Hearings in Texas on flooding response and redistricting are underway as the special session continues, Nathalie Marie Palacios, CBS Texas via MSN, 8/3/2025

Getting to be where we can't believe the political rhetoric from either side.

I do wonder how the runaways will make this hide n seek turn out any different than the last three times they tried it. Abbott will keep calling special sessions, cut off the runaways' pay, and if they're found in the state, he'll have them detained and escorted to the capitol.

Ima bet we would cover their losses with glee if it meant that Abbott just had to pound sand.

Just let me know where to send my share!

I tried to help ya find a collection point. Funny, in the roughly dozen stories I browsed describing various aspects of fundraising to support their hooky playing and to pay potential fines, not one listed an organization's name. Though the Texas Democrats website is setup to accept donations there is no option to designate where the donation should be applied.

However, an organization I've never heard of which claims to be in constant contact with the runaways set up a GoFundMe page. TexansInAction Defending Democracy so far has received donations amounting to a whopping $498.00. Maybe they're just getting started.

We are in direct contact with these lawmakers and are committed to ensuring that every dollar raised goes directly toward covering their fines. Each day a Texas Democrat is out of the state they are charged $500, these are not rich people, but people with the courage to stand up to the Trump lead Agenda. This support will allow them to continue their stand without being forced back into a system that undermines democracy. Your contribution will help sustain their efforts and send a message that standing up for fair elections matters.
