We saw this exact same strategy play out in Wisconsin circa 2011 when the Democrats in state legislature fled the state to avoid showing up to a legislative session. They left the state specifically to avoid state police arresting them and forcibly returning them to work. This is how Democrats operate.
In Texas the milk-carton Democrats do not have the numbers to block legislation; however, they can deny a legislative quorum by not showing up to work. The Democrats took buses to a private airport where they took private charter flights to Washington DC; all of their manipulative schemes paid for by Democrat activist groups. The cases of beer on the seats is a nice touch.
Meanwhile, Texas citizens are paying taxes to fund the salaries of officials who refuse to come to work.
Texas TRIBUNE – […] “We are now taking the fight to our nation’s Capitol,” the Democrats said in their statement. “We are living on borrowed time in Texas.”
The Democrats convened at a local plumbers union building and boarded a bus that transported them to a private airport terminal. They arrived at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport shortly after 2:30 p.m., driving straight onto the tarmac.
Lawmakers did not speak with the media before they left. Terminal staff kept reporters off the premises and on the street outside. By 3 p.m., several supporters of the legislators were gathered outside the terminal, holding signs that said, “Let my people vote,” and, “Thank you for fighting voter suppression.”
Even if Democratic lawmakers stay out of state for the next few weeks, the governor could continue to call 30-day sessions or add voting restrictions to the agenda when the Legislature takes on the redrawing of the state’s political maps later this summer. (read more)
Wonder what company jets are transporting them.
#ComDems think they are SOOOO! Smart that the rule of law simply does not apply to them.
Chicken Dees 2.0
Who’s paying for this?
I totally disagree with the author about the portion of the article following my excerpt.
Texas is not what he says.
Abbott needs to dock their pay again.
>>“Let my people vote,” and, “Thank you for fighting voter suppression.”
Stalinists lie. Always
They are refusing to vote to “protect voting”?
Deep Pocket Communist Democrat businessmen.
But it could also be the DNC paying.
Yes, they are vermin.
Huh? Yes indeed.
UFOs! UFOs!
SIEZE the Jets for facilitating a Criminal Act
U FO’s
Seems to be a preponderance of ‘Rat, Wymyn Oppressors of the People.
As sure as the Swallows return to Capistrano to poop all over everything, the Democrats return to Washington, D.C……to poop all over everything.
Yep
I know that there are a few men in that picture but it still resembles a dyke convention
Yep.
It is time to DownSize DC and time to thin the #ComDem’s holding public office in Texas.
