I quoted the part where it says they came back to the capitol on Monday for the next 'special session' that starts Wendesday.
I did read the whole article, so im not sure what you think I missed. Dems say this is "phase two" where they try to block things in Texas courts, the very same courts Republicans bring every national issue to because judges side with them 100% of the time?
Why stop "phase one" since it actually accomplished something by preventing the vote? Now they'll pass the vote, redraw the district lines, and dems will expect an "attaboy" for pretending like they actually accomplished something when their cases get thrown out of court making this whole exercise entirely pointless. Did they think Republicans would just forget all about this if they delayed it for a week until just after the redistricting passed the Texas senate? Please.
This is just more kayfabe. They're putting on a show for all of us while they work together to pass this garbage both in Texas and the rest of the nation. It's interesting that you want to pick an attitude with me to defend the people robbing you of your nation and its future. Maybe you should redirect that anger toward the people who keep 'losing' to Republicans on purpose.
Using kayfabe as a metaphor is saying you underestimate the seriousness of the situation.
It's quite the opposite which is why I'm speaking out about it. In what way are you taking it seriously by wasting your time trying to police my language and give cover to these corrupt assholes who are helping to further cement their control over our nation?
