#Texas #Democrats #VotingRights
Whole of U. S. Vote a normal & decent person, who is qualified to govern. Do Not vote those who wants power and destroy this nation. No to party of 👿 demon 'c rats 🐁, NO to abnormalcy….
Chris Turner needs to stop spreading lies and distorting the facts. Chris and the group ignore Election integrity. 🇺🇸. All Runaway Texas House Democrats are violating their oath of office. They have abandoned their constituents and their duties in the Austin Capitol. They are pursing their own selfish self interests on Texas time. Texans like the nation do not want loopholes that would open the door to election fraud or cheating. Stop blaming Trump for the change. It’s the American people who demand Election Integrity and that their vote count and not be cancelled by unethical practices. 🇺🇸.
Now you all have corona all Dems lol
Later this year or maybe next year, the 50 Republican U.S. Senators may do essentially the same thing to deny Schumer a working quorum, if he tries to press on with the federal takeover of elections, D.C. statehood or packing the court. In the likely event this happens, guess what Kamala Harris and the rest of the leftists who are lauding the actions of the Texas DumbAsscrats will say? They will roundly denounce it, probably even declare it "racist." (Of course that would be nonsensical and absurd, but we are dealing with the most radical bunch of DumbAsscrats ever, supported at every turn by the media and Big Tech.)
F for the chat
What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash and tries to remove his right to vote to put in place who they want in office?,you get what you deserve….and i cant wait to see it happen
I'm here to step out of the sanity and to share it with others: ID's needed to drive a car, buy beer, buy cigarettes, go on a flight, buy a gun, etc. Calling this voter suppression is so incredibly dishonest it's hard to watch. Thanks, I'll return to sanity until I again venture over to share some more of it with you all here.
Two thumbs down 👎
Thanks for not doing the job you were voted in to do.
Democrats should just use reconciliation for voting rights law because the filibuster most likely won't change. Make voting rights law now and then do INFRASTRUCTURE in JANUARY when a new reconciliation can be used. VOTING RIGHTS IS JUST TOO URGENT NOW!
TURDS
STFU.. WE SHALL OVERCOME WE SHALL OVERCOME WE SHALL OVERCOME SOME TIME, DAY F.GS DON'T EVEN KNOW THE WORD'S
Fun Fact: In 2016, Donald Trump lost the popular vote by a greater margin than any US President. In 2020, Joe Biden received more than 81 million votes — the most of any presidential candidate in U.S. history.
Words matter… there is no suppression… it is ensuring voter integrity. One vote per living legal voting eligible US citizen…
Democrats like to point out other Nations policy as examples that work aboard and should be implemented here… well most democracies around the world use a system where voter identification is required and other integrity laws why don’t we here?
Hope someone from the democratic party or a philanthropist pay the salaries of those brave politicians from Texas. Their salaries should be paid for up to 2022 to ease the pressure they are under and allow them to stand their ground if need be to 2022 elections. Hopefully someone will step up as just having good words is not enough.
Texas needs to start a recall petition and elect responsible lawmakers in their place. Children should not play at politics…
This is all about voting by mail again isn't it? I think Democrats voted 3 to 4 times more for mail in voting. Of course, you would say there is no evidence of voter fraud. Because its hard to trace back these ballots. You don't know the actual person who filled and mailed in your ballot. It could be your neighbor, BLM/Antifa activist, your 9 year old kid, your spouse. Also people can buy your votes. All the perpetrator needs is the signature on the envelope and the rest he/she fills out.
So no, there is no voter suppression, no losing your voting rights. Explain what is being discriminatory according to Biden's teleprompter speech? Its all lies.
Its about abusing the mail in voting again like the previous election. PEOPLE WAKE UP FROM THIS NONSENSE THAT IS COMING FROM CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC . They're working with the Democrats.
If they arrest those law makers then they will have to arrest Ted Cruz when he abandoned Texans and went to Cancun when everyone was freezing he's guilty of the same thing
Texas House Dems should all be recalled.
You are SAVED by BELIEVING in JESUS CHRIST who DIED for ALL sin to SAVE ALL who BELIEVE in HIM. PROMISED ETERNAL LIFE by BELIEVING in HIM. He DID ascend to Heaven on the third day. HE IS at the right hand of God. He is preparing a place for ALL who BELIEVE. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for all. Know the truth. Know who IS your Savior. Know that he suffered for ALL. To SAVE ALL. This life is clearly temporary and when you know why then it will confirm the truth even more! SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH. FEAR GOD. NOT MAN. PREACH THE GOSPEL. ITS WHAT JESUS DID! All Glory to God. Look at the world! WATCH 🎺🎁
Go back to work and do your job..great performance today though!
Another example of incomplete reporting…CNN sucks
Texas Democratic voters now its your turn to let your voices be heard. I would caution arresting Democrats it will only increase their support in Texas and nationally making Republicans look tyrannical.
Arrest warrants issued for these treacherous Un American democrats and Sgt at Arms notified to track them down this party has to go America or we lose the country it’s that simple.
We see Gov. Abbot and his Jim Crow voting bills – Thanks for the resistance Texas Dems!
When you come home Texas Democrats we'll have a nice warm jail cell with you names waiting for you
They are using constitutional means to fight the GOP. They have my full support.
Doing what it takes! Thank you!!🧡😊
Cowards vote them out! They do not give a sweet tooth above the people. Bless their little hearts
