Yeah, if it was Black people that comprised that armed militia...if things were the other way around, alot of you conservatives on here would be going off the deep end. As it is, it's ok I guess.
If youre to going qoute someone then do it correctly, I said it read like politicians dividing and conquering, didnt say all politicians suck equally.
Yeah but since its a bunch of small town white people the democrats are going crazy, is either one better? People see what they want to see, goes for both sides sometimes.
I mean I do think politicians suck, and in this case the republicans are in the wrong, moreso than the democrats.
There is no "both sides" garbage rhetoric to this. One party is trying to pass a law in a normal democratic way, using the the legal process. The other party refuses to show up to work, partners with a psychotic militia and gloats publicly about the other party cowering in fear. There is no argument here. I thought elections had consequences? Isn't that what most Republicans tell us? Weak ass Republicans have zero right to skip showing up to work. Vote these fuckers out.
Dems have skipped work before in Texas but if its a cause that aligns with your political leanings its ok, its not than its not. Thus both sides, same crap different day.
The republicans are apparently hiding out in Idaho protected by the militias. If that is true they should all be immediately fired. Anybody else who just doesn't show up to work, gets fired. Should be the same here.
actually I disagree ...skipping work and having that many voters leave the state and meet with the occupation militia dudes is a bit different...any party can caucus and regroup in the capital over their differences but they are elected to show up and vote even if they feel it's a lost cause...
Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not talking about Texas. Those dems should have been fired as well. Tired of the What-aboutism. I can't just not show up to work if I sense something might be uncomfortable. I would lose employment, as would anyone here. Fuck these guys.
I agree about the hiding with militia stuff, but the skipping work part this isnt the first time that a group from one side has decided screw it Im not showing up.
If this is what militia are for nowadays, it's time to put them all in jail for America's safety. Because it's pretty clear that these people have no clue what a true militia is, nor what they were used for in the first place.
Well the president has avoided attending the White House Correspondents Dinner and Kennedy Center honors for two years....if you don't cheer..he won't go to your party...leading by his poor example....ask a question I don't like and I'll stop talking to you....poor leadership by poor example
the “your” was a general “your” not you specifically. There are some laws regarding hostile work environments and employers are responsible for giving you a reasonable work experience, but yes I agree the republicans should show up and lose.
Im honestly not really in favor of this bill, at least as constructed, but I still believe the republicans should show up vote, lose, go home and shut up and try to amend it or something later on. Bringing in militia’s and all that is crap. I absolutely understand why smaller town conservatives would be frustrated at the politics in this state, but grow up seriously. Threatening violence is what my 3 year old does when she doesn't get her way, its not what adults should do.
It would have been funnier if they tweeted a picture of that capitol currently instead of using a picture from earlier in the week.
