What do we think about this?

Texas state lawmakers, enacting an intricately plotted escape, left their posts and the Lone Star state itself and took flight to Washington on Monday on an extraordinary mission to halt Republican restrictive voting bills built on former President Donald Trump’s fraud lies.

And Fweedom met with them two weeks ago and is now calling them “courageous”.

Looks like an attack on Democracy to me.

Insurrection!!

Is this different than the county clerk who refused to sign homosexual marriage certificates?

Looks like the Dems are finally standing up for what they think is right.

Running away is standing up?

If it gets the desired result.

Deceptive maneuver.

It won’t.

Our system requires the minority party to be forward thinking, not undermining the process.

From your lips to McConnell’s ears.

I heard quotes from some of those dims AND "VP"skank saying how they have to “fight”, over and over again. “Fight, fight, fight”

I heard that was taboo during the 2nd sham impeachment.

Now they’re calling for violence…

After stepping off two chartered jets, they insisted they planned to stay until a highly unlikely scenario unfolds in which moderate Democratic senators kill filibuster rules used by the GOP to block voting rights reform.

Emphasis mine. They are demanding central government intervention.

Maybe they should all go to Cancun.

Republicans in the US Senate can use the same trick. The constitution requires a majority Senators to be present so nothing can pass if the 50 Republicans leave.

I remember when this was tried in Wisconsin a decade ago

I hope Abbott does arrest them all as they get off the plane…

maybe they can be housed with all the illegals that aren’t coming over the border
