    If they broke the law then lock them up. I think throwing politicians into jail is exactly what we need.

    I understand you will ignore Biden’s lies but then I suppose that’s just business as usual for democrats.

    Whatever you think about the D's "fleeing" a special session, there is NOTHING funnier than watching Rafael Cruz weigh in on the concept of "fleeing" politicians....

    I give the early nod to Julian Castro for best Ted Tweet...

    How would we know?

    But you'd need all 50, and I think one or two would stick around.... so why not give it a shot??

    You'd have SR1 and SR4 approved in about an hour...

    I understand you have been ignoring Trump’s lies for 4+ years but then I suppose that’s just business as usual for you Trump supporters/conservatives/republicans.

    Just because Dirty Donnie lied for 4 years and continues to lie today, that doesn’t make Biden a liar.

    No - the Texas Dems used the procedural rules to prevent a quorum from existing.

    Yes I have noticed.

    That’s why I think it is hypocritical now for Texas Rs to say they want to arrest Texas Ds for using the rules to their advantage.

    I hear that they sell anti-psychotic medications in the same place. Your point?

    My understanding is that there is an arrest "request" out there by a 76-4 vote in the Texas House Chamber, so technically, this guy is probably a fugitive...

    https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/13/texas-democrats-walkout-voting-bill-arrest/

    Go and get him, big talkers...

    Also, your guys' idea of mocking is pretty sad.... that is one area conservatives truly suck at, because it takes a level of wit you'll never achieve...

    It's actually refreshing to see so many conservatives voice their opposition to using procedural tricks to filibuster legislation... :applause::applause::applause:

    Wouldn't this be the single greatest political moment of all time?

    Probably because it's a rather abnormal situation. But don't worry - dems are ALL ABOUT 'norms!' :roflol:

    And IS this a "certain action" which requires "serious reaction?"
