They are such idiots.
Original Story
Governor Abbott confirmed our earlier report that Democrats who fled the state to prevent a redistricting vote will face 2nd degree felony charges if they don’t return. He isn’t going to let them skate as he did in 2021. It will be in response to the 50+ Democrats taking bribes to fly to Illinois, a heavily Democrat gerrymandered state.
Some of the Democrats are not in Illinois.
The felony charges come in over their solicitation of funds that may violate bribery laws. A person providing the funds could also be guilty of bribery. Dereliction of duty could bring felony charges.
Bribery:
“Many absentee Democrats are soliciting funds to evade the fines they will incur under House rules,” the governor indicated. “Any Democrat who ‘solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept’ such funds to assist in the violation of legislative duties or for purposes of skipping a vote may have violated bribery laws.” He added that any person who provides such funds could also be guilty of bribery.
“So, very simply, it would be bribery if any lawmaker took money to perform—or to refuse to perform—an act in the legislature. And the reports are these legislators have been both… they sought money, and they offered money to skip the vote, to leave the legislature, to take a legislative act. That would be bribery.”
So, Abbott has to gather the facts, but fleeing Democrats can avoid all this if they come back.
Reportedly, Texas Democrat lawmakers were given a dedicated $40 million jet that costs $15,000 per hour or more to rent. Allegedly, the money came from out of state. They like to fly with a big carbon footprint when they aren’t screaming the planet is dying.
Abbott said he will extradite the felons from Illinois. That would be fun to watch. I bet they won’t get a private jet on the return trip as accused criminals.

GRAB THEM, SHIP THEM BACK IN A PRISONER VAN.
Yeah, seeing is believing. Wake me up when charges are brought.
Paxton seems to be the one with the leverage to act on this, to charge them. He is a good man with lots of motivation, after the horrible way he has been treated by the left and RINOs. I wonder what mechanism is used to declare the members out of their seats. That is what needs to be used right… Read more »
Charge them now. No mercy. They violated the oath of office. Not being on the job is stealing from the tax-payers. Stop aiding and abetting their games. No mercy. No bail!
RIGHT ON!
