„“hatched a deliberate plan not to show up for work, for the specific purpose of abdicating the duties of their office and thwarting the chamber’s business,”“
Wow this sound similar to a tactic republicans are currently employing.
Oh yeah?? Well …. Fuck Abbott!! Tell him to shove
that re-districting map completely up his ass!!!!
Turnabout is fair play, sir.
His threat is to schedule elections to replace the absent legislators.
Cool. Just re-elect the same people. Or other Democrats who also promise to go absent.
Do we reeeally need the only state to have fought two different wars to protect their right to keep human beings as slaves?
There isn’t a sane judge that would ever claim any of these democrats have abandoned their office. The question here is whether they can find a crony judge to go along with the scheme this asshole is suggesting. I’m sure it’s harder to find a sane one in Texas, though.
This is funny as hell given Republicans ran from Washington to escape Epstein.
Just head to Cancun, problem solved
Except for the felony charges, isn’t removal what they’re planning to do with their redistricting scheme anyway?
Texas Republicans, by fondling The Rapist-in-Chief’s shrivelled, old balls, have made it so Texas Democrats have everything to lose if they stay and play by the rules.
It’s time Democrats everywhere play a different game.
At first you and your Republicans in Texas weren’t keen on the idea of it until your pedo in chief called you and now you are all for it.
You are literally moving the goal posts around to suit your favor and I do hope it bites you in the ass.. Why on Earth would anyone still vote for Republican is beyond me. It brings nothing but sorrow.
i would like to hear Mike Johnson’s opinion on this matter
Threatens but won’t.
Blah blah blah blah blah STFU little man
Funny part is Texas dems are not breaking any rules what the are doing is built in to the Texas government rules both sides can do it
Oh he doesn’t like fair play? Republicans do this shit all the time.
Let texas secede… see how fast the cartels take over. 😂
In related news, where’s the Epstein list?
The 1 star state
Abbott won’t stand for these absences! /s
the good news is that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
When they act like a fascist and write like a fascist they just might be… 🥁 A FASCIST
Little baby doesn’t like it when his plan to cheat is stymied…
Is he endorsing them for President, then?
Piss baby said what now?
Cheating and stealing in order to steal and cheat.
Wheels can go jump a ramp off a cliff
When you start threatening to imprison your colleagues, it may be time to reevaluate whether you’re as godly as you claim to be.
Something about Greg Abbott has always reminded me of the possessed referee in Little Nicky. Those soulless, dumb eyes.
Alsoooo, how many of you would show up to work if you KNEW you were being fired? Donald Trump and Greg Abbott are trying to fire these people. Why would you help aid your own unemployment?
What a loser, spending all this time in the special session for flood relief complaining about maps and hemp.
Not a single relief bill filed, just more idiocy.
From deep in the heart of Texas, Fuck Greg Abbot and the rest of those pathetic cult followers.
> In the letter, Abbott cites an opinion written by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
So it’s probably riddled with legal errors and a general misunderstanding of the law.
> quo warranto
…yep.
Sounds like he’s wheelie wheelie mad.
I have mad respect for Michelle Obama but she can miss me with that “when they go low, we go high” BS. When they go low, we blow the bottom out from underneath them. Down and dirty is the only language they understand.
So gerrymandering is totally ok, as long as republicans are doing it?
The reason there are so few Democrats in Texas now is because of earlier Republican gerrymandering. They would have zero chance at voting down this egregious gerrymandered loss of their own jobs if they don’t use the last tool in the tool box. Ken Paxon’s determination is just a rubber stamp action everyone knew was coming.
Texas is the least honest state in the union. By bunches.
Didn’t the house just break for months so they don’t have to discuss Epstein.
The vote should be illegal, but replacing anyone in the government with someone of your choice is outright authoritarian.
Just like Trump pedophilia, school shootings, public school funding, disaster relief, etc he ain’t doing shit.
But if he removes all the Democrats who fled from office (which he can’t because read the state constitution on expelling members) it would leave the house without a working quorum until new elections are held. In fact for the individual Democrats this would probably be preferable because they would get to stay home with their families and still deny Republicans their quorum while running for reelection.
Our president is a convicted felon 26 times over, does not seem to hurt him much.
I’d like to see you stand up and try. Fucking supporter of pedophilia and trafficking. That whole party is rotten to the core.
