The Special Session was supposed to be about the floods. Abbott and his Republican conspirators have never cared about the victims. Just another opportunity to keep power. I couldn’t imagine harboring so much hate for the people you are supposed to represent. So little respect.

You know. It's the party of small government. Too small to fund disaster relief, but just small enough to fit inside our daughters' vaginas.

When are the voters of Texas going to revolt? Is this what they want? A barely functioning power grid? No assistance in flooding? Women’s right being decimated? Representatives fleeing in crisis? Arresting political opponents? Holy shit, Texas. When will enough be enough?

Sickening and all too predictable. Texans are going to need to send a massive message to remind these despicable Republicans who they work for. If they don't vote them all out, what else can we say at this point?

The more disdain for their voters the deeply corrupt governor, sec. of state, and AG are in Texas, the more Texans like them. It’s a state full of S&M voters who are really only concerned with their guns. They can freeze or swelter to death, but don’t talk about gun restrictions.

RayReborne is waiting for Hi-Fi Rush 2 @rayreborne.bsky.social

I can, politicians and so called "leaders" have slowly cared less and less for the people and more about themselves, them and theirs, and their bank accounts with the funny imaginary numbers. They scream "socialism bad!" Only because their donors will pull funding if ANY threat to their $$$ shows up

When a bill to preempt red flag laws is making its way through the TX House this week after Uvalde, that should tell Texans all they need to know.

Question: Will any of this change the minds of the millions of Trump and MAGA Republican voters, or will they continue to believe propaganda networks like Fox and NewsMax when they blame the Texas Democrats for leaving the state to postpone the MAGA gerrymandering efforts? My $ on the propaganda.

Before the flood occurred, the special session was about the legal hemp vs. medical pot industry lobby. The normal legislation session drew up laws that made legal hemp illegal and would put 55K Texans out of work. At no time was the session about redrawing voting maps until Trump.
