    That's simply what you see in this photo -- a woman took a selfie with a number of other women sitting together. Frankly, on business trips with men and women together, it is common practice in business for men and women to sit on public transit (buses, trains, aircraft, etc.) by gender to avoid the appearance of being with an opposite-gendered person other than their spouse.

    If you are wondering about the ratio of women to men in the Texas Democratic delegation, 40% of the Democratic Representatives are women and 31% of the Democratic Senators.

    They are almost certainly all vaccinated. Vaccine denial is not a thing among Texas Democrats, and the mask mandate was rescinded earlier this year. There is no mask mandate in Texas.

    Greg Abbott does not have that authority. The Speaker of the House has the authority, whenever the lawmakers are in Texas. However, the Speaker declined to arrest them last May when they denied the Republican-dominated legislature a quorum.

    They have not committed a crime, nor have used public funding for their trip.

    It’s all OK. Rumor has it they were joyfully singing in unison without pretense, “We All Live in a Yellow Submarine.” All together now,... :Wink

    He announced he was going to arrest them. His A.G. says he can. They flew on a plane and didn't wear masks. FFA still requires masks. Those pictures available also.

    Greg Abbott says a lot of things. Much of what nationally-known Texas politicians say is for the consumption of people outside Texas. Much of it is simply hot air.

    Ken Paxton, who has been under criminal indictment since 2015, is not a credible person. He is trying to paint himself as a hero to Republicans in North Texas (specifically Collin County) in hopes of beating a potential 99-year sentence. Again, most people outside the state don't know that.

    They flew on private jets. No masks required.

    The real point is that Dems are still all about rigging elections by hook or by crook. They care nothing about what voters want or what’s good for the country. If they did, they’d all resign.

    Oh no, they flew on a private jet and have destroyed the environment by contributing to global warming!!!!! Why didn’t they ride bicycles?

    Wait a second! Who paid for the jet? The hotels in Washington? Are they claiming this free vacation on their taxes?

    peace to you

    Wasn’t there some kind of uproar a couple years back about those hand signs being “white supremest?”

    So, white supremest radicals get a free jet and hotel rooms (destroying the environment by flying) to go to Washington to support federalizing elections by Dems

    It’s an insurrection!!!!

    peace to you

    I try not to give too much personal info on this board.

    You never know when racists Dems, flashing racists signs and destroying the environment by flying on private jets might retaliate against freedom loving, God loving Americans who want free and fair elections.

    peace to you

    These Dems may have been leaving Texas, but they were flying to Washington, DC, which just happens to be the capital of the country. They are intent on making the most of it to negatively affect the entire nation and you can be sure the Dem MSM will be all too happy to help them.

    AG of Arizona won his case on election laws. But the Dems want to control elections nationally, to rig them so that they can achieve their goal of totalitarian rule as The Party. Yes, the clip below is about this despite the title.

    The only point to be considered is that they left their job! They should be in Austin in session - NOT trying to but the system for something they dont like. If they think the proposed law is wrong - then take it to the courts after passage.

    How would the Dems react - if the R's had left the State to void voting on a bill!

    Remind me again how many times ole Newt has been divorced and remarried. He also has converted to Catholicism as a result of marrying this last one… so why in heck would I consider this Cretan as credible?!?

    Has he applied to be your pastor? Has he opened an office for marriage counseling?

    He is offering political opinions, which he is well qualified to offer.

    peace to you
