Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isnโ€™t democracy. Itโ€™s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.

The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.

Texas House issues arrest warrants for Democrats who left state to block congressional redistricting

  1. Those Dem Representatives probably didn't even need to leave the Texas to avoid arrest. They could have sheltered in the Uvalde elementary school. No Texas law enforcement people would have entered there

    1. ๐Ÿ‘‰ A civil arrest warrant for a politician who has intentionally fled to break a quorum is less a legal tool and more a theatrical prop. Itโ€™s an official-looking document demanding a runaway train to please, for goodness sake, pull over.

  4. Why donโ€™t Texas Republicans just pray to get the Democrats back? They pray after natural disasters. They pray after school shootings. Why do they need the FBI?

Soooo much CRIME, committed by Trump, his cabinet, his GRIFTER family and his insane supporters. REPUBLICANS are the THIRD REICH!

  8. Ya, ok. No federal or Texas law that applies to this. Also no legal precedent. If there was when the Republicans have done it they should be in jail. Then there is the congress taking their August break, starting in July๐Ÿ™„

  9. But we didn't arrest the repukes when they shut down the government so they wouldn't have to vote on releasing the Epstein files. Fucking tools.

  10. Iโ€™ve never have seen a government as wasteful as this. Really. By the time this is over, I bet this country surpasses an extra 10 trillion dollars is wasteful spending. They are throwing money around like they hit the lottery. Itโ€™s just not going to be good at all.

  11. Hey FBI, I guess Mike Johnson and the maga pedo protectors shutting down the House of Representatives early to avoid a Vote on releasing the Epstein files. Get them back to DC.

  13. They should have an arrest warrant for every repulsicunt who does the exact same thing every time they dont want to vote on something!

  14. What about their Texas house and senatorial reps who left without voting on releasing the Epstein files? Do they have warrants out for their arrests?

  15. Maybe Texas never really should have been allowed to be a state in the first place, considering how hatefully & violently Texas is attacking our country & our great Democratic Republic at the moment...?

  18. Can we arrest the Republicans in Congress who skipped out early to avoid a vote to release the Epstein files? There are masked men we can send.

  19. The sheer stupidity of the TX gop and their blatant attempts to rig their voting system. TX just come out and say you're doing this to get Trumpie more votes and don't give a f### about your constituents.

  20. The Dems could have just held up in an elementary school with the illusion of a gun, cops in TX won't go into schools if they believe a gun is in there

  21. Federal law canโ€™t be used to enforce a stateโ€™s quorum fight. Texas warrants only work in-state, and skipping session isnโ€™t a federal crime. Using federal agents this way would be unconstitutional and quickly blocked in court. This is yet another overreach by the #pedopresident and his goons

  22. He thinks he can complete this coup [despite failing before] w/o the courts collapsing bc he doesn't believe the economy will also collapse. A coupe requires systems collapsing. Grandpa Diddles is probably back on that roof or admiring the gold toilet he just put in the WH. Dumber than a doorknob.

  23. I just think of facism as an ill fitting suit... after eating crap food for years, eventually, its jacket pockets will burst at the seems as well... it took a decade or two of the GOP eating their own crap.

  24. This is why even though people say Texas is purple I donโ€™t agree with them. Texans should be out in force protesting and blocking their representative or at least I see nothing in the news.

  26. I'm curious as to how the warrants are written...what is the actual crime they are being accused of: because I believe breaking quorum is explicitly permitted in the state Constitution

  27. We are ALREADY IN A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP. It's time for people to stop feigning outrage and start asking WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

    This can happen one way (courts, ballots) or the other (messy) but it must be done.

  30. Once upon a time we all agreed that the Nazi Reich was the enemy. That show of unity won us the Second World War. Then we lost that unity, and began squabbling again. Now the Nazis have taken over our homeland. They did it by dividing us.

  31. Is the gavel really that size? If so, me thinks he's using that gavel to compensate for the smallness of something else.....

  32. That gavel is supposed to be a nod to "Everything is bigger in texas" but its surely compensation for tiny. Only thing bigger in texas is that fascist Gross Old Pedo party wants a bigger Pedo party.
